Mercury retrograde

I am not really one for the astro charts etc.. but there must be something in it.
yesterdays post is blank... ahhhggg and I have looked back and a few others have not come up either. am having real 'issues' with my laptop and its connectivity. Its wireless but it seems that there are two connections trying all the time and they cut each other off.. which just ends up me being frustrated as I have no internet connections... Whilst I am typing its flicked on and off three times... who knows if i am going to be able to save this one..

Families


Its a bit shocking to realise the last time we have a family photo - where all of us were in it - was when Lilly was just 1 year old. She is a little over 3 here.

I usually have the camera and hate to have my photo taken - so its a rare thing indeed to have any photos of me at all.

It so silly really - I must have such a high standard of myself - not wanting images of myself about. I know I will lament it -and I am already - hardly any photos of me in my early 20s - when I was a heap skinnier and freer..and a goth.

Before we had kids, Adrian and i went to a number of seminars - one particualr one presenter spoke onfamily codes - like a code of ethics in which you operate your family life on. Again - something we talk about alot and not yet committed to paper.. so perhaps I will play with it here on my blog and present to the family...

Perception of time

So what can you stuff into one day? Somedays I just fly through - get so much achieved, other day s- no matter how I plan or structure things - it just falls in a heap. I have also noticed with this blog site - I post at different times during the day - and thus sometimes it looks like I posted twice in a day and others I missed all together. Can't seem to find a setting thing to change it to real ( Aussie) time ..

I try to stuff so much into a day - driving here there and everywhere, doing small jobs, calling people, visiting and popping in on folk, and then running out of time to do essential things like go grocery shopping of cooking dinner. ahh the life of a mummy.

Oh - and Lilly was perfectly fine by the way.( of course) She came home plastered in paint and photographic evidence of her playing with play doh, playing with other kids, doing puzzels and generally having a very nice time . Miss Tash thinks it may be that Lilly has worked out that I no longer go to work and is now wondering what on earth Mummy needs to be doing at home all by herself. Indeed. I wonder sometimes myself. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me to do the things I want to or need to achieve. I hardly sleep much now days. In bed usually around midnight to 1 am - never any earlier. Out of bed by 7 or 7.30. I mean 7 hours is heaps.

Not particularly focused at the moment - too close to midnight when I aught to have done this entry first thing this morning- but had a mad day. One of my first book looks in months ( in Moray field - over an hours drive away) visiting folks and then trying to organize for my own pary tomorrow - showcasing some of my friends partys... I am blabbing now... back in a few hours after some sleep.
