Wed, 12 Jul 2006 04:27:03 GMT

Well i have just had the worst run of luck... I wonder if i did anything to upset Kharma? i can't think of anything but you never know. Anyway my oldest daughter got struck down by one of those tummy bugs and ended up in hospital for three days, then my partner decided go out in sympathy and went there the day after she was discharged. So i thought that was it and tried to get on with things but....... the flu decided to catch up with me and hit like a ton of bricks, and then my youngest daughter got sick...... are you getting the picture!?!?!?! so to put the icing on the cake ny car decides to pack up and stop working.. so i gave up on that fornight and heres to a brand new start.... Starting NOW!!!!!! YAY.

gone but not forgotten

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 04:18:55 GMT

oh my goodness,
it has been so long since i posted in my lj. so here goes. since my last post I have graduated University, YAY, YAY, YAY. Given birth to my second daughter, got a real job (and a haircut) lol. and moved house. (told you it had been a while!!). Anyway as for other goss, my partner moved away for a temp job that goes until the end of the year so i am looking after two kids under 5, working, and trying to stay a tad sane at the same time (no wonder i'm going grey) (shh!!! don't tell anyone!). Oh yeah and I almost forgot, my work has an audit coming up so i have to make sure everything is up to scratch!!! AGHHHHH. so now i've dumped my life in a few sentances does anyoune else feel the need to vent??

been a while

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 01:30:31 GMT

yeah yeah
si i haven't updated lj in a while!! so?? i have been sooooooooooo busy lately that i have barely had time to sneeze! don't you hate when that happens. I have been contemplating alot of things in my life lately and things have been getting the better of me lately. I am having a hard tim at uni and really need the break that is coming up soon. Do you ever think about stuff that happened in the past? ever wish you could change it? sometimes i do and sometimes i don't, i think the past shapes who we are and our future ands without it we would be completely different people or be in different situations. Regardless of my stuff ups in life, i have learnt from them and believe that i am a better person because of them. the stuff ups were life's ways of letting me know where i could end up if i didn't clean up my act! thank God i got the message then before it was too late. anyway i hope you are all feeling a bit better then me at the moment, but i will get there.

new year.

Sat, 01 Jan 2005 08:09:49 GMT

well yet another year over and what a year it was. A tragic end with the Tsunami disaster in
South East Asia. Just think of all those families that have lost loved ones, homes, and much much more. I am counting my lucky stars at the moment as i had a holiday, well actually my honeymoon booked to Phuckett on the 10th of Jan. I am very fortunate. sorry to start the new year on such a low note but it is hard not to think of those in need at a time like this! anyway i hope you all had a wonderful new year and heres hopeing this year will bring prosperity.

uni

Sun, 05 Dec 2004 07:38:39 GMT

Thu, 02 Dec 2004 02:15:58 GMT

Break time?!??!!!!

Thu, 02 Dec 2004 02:05:47 GMT

my head hurts! you know you would think that with the university year over that you would have less stress, less of a headache and more time on your hands! WRONG!!!!!! i have not stopped running around lately! i guess that is what happens when you are trying to catch up on things. you leave everything until you get a break so that when you do get a break.......... BAM!!! busy, busy, busy! oh well enough complaining and back to it! only five weeks until i walk up the aisle! its getting close!! very close. then off to Thailand for a well deserved honeymoon.

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 00:11:01 GMT

well now the chaos of uni is over for the year finally! now its the painful wait for results! in the meantime preparations are continuing for my up and coming wedding in January. just the final touch ups and confirmations of bookings etc. Additionally house hunting is going to commence so that i can get outta this annoying place and into a new one. Kaitlyne needs to start swimming lessons again now that it is summer and her enrollment for kindergarten is complete and she will begin that soon. So although uni is over for now it seems i am still going to be busy!

rain, glorious rain!

Sun, 07 Nov 2004 05:51:56 GMT

YAY!!! RAIN!!!! i had almost forgotten what rain looked like! we have finally got some decent rain here and the grass is actually going green! it hasn't been green in ages! everyone has had a brown lawn and poor looking plants and they are actually getting some life back into them!!! hooray for rain, bring it on!!!

need a holiday?!!!

Fri, 05 Nov 2004 05:18:20 GMT

yes, yet another whine session for little ol me. i need a holiday BADLY!!! well at least ill get a bit of a break soon and get to spend some time with my daughter, Kaitlyne. Uni is nearly finished for the year, just two exams left to study for and the a well earned break! i've been offered heaps of hours to work but im only gonna take some hours as i need to relax and wind down. The i still have some final touches to go with the planning of the wedding! see i need a holiday, too much to do and not enough time to do it in! and don't forget christmas, and, and ,and, etc etc. the list goes on and on and on like that song from lamb chops!!!

out of touch

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 04:56:44 GMT

i have felt totally out of touch with the world lately. I have been sooooooooooooooooo busy. i did some work for the Lexmark Indy 500 (car racing). and i am totally stuffed!!! i had to work 12 hour shifts and only got two 15min breaks for the entire day!! i have also had to complete a heap of assignments for uni and somehow squeeze in time for sleep and food!! oh well at least no-one can say i'm dull!! or can they??

being sick sux

Wed, 13 Oct 2004 01:25:46 GMT

it's not fair. i've successfully managed to stay clear of virus infections this year and just when you think you're in the clear - BAM. you've got some illness! I was hoping to stay well at least until uni finishes but NO!!! just when all the assignments are due in and exams are approaching. it's not fair, now i'm grumpy and tired and have no motivation to do anything, especially assignments!

sex and disabilities, the barriers

Sun, 10 Oct 2004 22:59:31 GMT

It's difficult for some of us to stare back at an airbrushed image of physical perfection, say in Playboy or muscle magazines, and not start contemplating deeper issues of self-worth. We keep telling ourselves that the quality of our lives and our attractiveness should have nothing to do with flawless skin and bodily virtue-but they seem to anyway.

In the realm of disability, these issues are even more intensely felt. They go right to the heart of sexual self-esteem for those of us struggling to maintain visibility within a culture that imposes ruthless standards for attractiveness and desirability. The mandate, or so it would seem for individuals with disabilities, requires a sort of physical legitimacy in order to obtain love and acceptance, with a certain sexual model as the gateway to both.

We are overwhelmed with television, magazine, and billboard ads using conventionally beautiful bodies to sell everything from jeans to taco chips. Sexual value has a certain cultural look that typically does not include people with disabilities.

When was the last time you saw an attractive woman in a wheelchair selling Slim-Fast, or a Paralympic athlete posing for an ad?

As popular culture continues to promote-and blithely accept-images that connect sexuality to body perfection and beauty, the polarisation between those who have the ability to meet those standards and those who are unable to, will deepen.

Mental blank

Sun, 03 Oct 2004 01:57:57 GMT

I hate it when i get a fantastic idea just before bed or other inconvenient times. I always have the best ideas when i cant do anything about it! After these wonderful ideas i will attempt to recreate them and then have a complete mental blank. No wonder i cant sleep at night! Too many thoughts fill my head. maybe i should start doing stuff late at night, then i will get High Distinctions for all my assignments!!!!

ahhhh

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 21:54:57 GMT

its not fair! I have too many assignments to do for uni and not enough time to do it in! Also my daughter insists on continually waking me up at wonderfully early hours of the morning and i don't sleep well at night because all i think about is how many assignments i have to do and by when! Just my whinge of the day, i feel like the only one sometimes but i know i'm not. roll on holidays!!!!!

You know life is a journey. you strive for goals, ambitions, and a generally happy or fulfilled life. BUT is there a catch to having a good life? well this question has a multitude of answers. A good life is whatever you make of it and never giving up on your hopes and dreams. ALL things are possible if you believe in them and believe in yourself. the key is to never take anything less then your worth and to never let others bring you down. when you take a step forward never let anyone pull you back.

hmmmmm

Thu, 16 Sep 2004 20:42:56 GMT

it's too early. need caffiene. Apart from that need a brain transplant.
What is it about this time of the year that sooooo much seems to happen?!
I don't just mean personally but worldwide. Alot of busy people hover around, many countries are fast paced and you turn on the news and its jam packed full of stuff going on! I just think its odd that the universe or world seems to have a pull around the same time each year and things get hectic.
Could this be something to do with the alignment of the planets?

weekend

Sat, 11 Sep 2004 05:07:21 GMT

looking forward to some great footy over the weekend, already had a great friday night football/NRL. other then that the weekend hopefully should be pumping, lets get some action and as Pink would say 'lets get this party started'!!!

lifestyle

Mon, 06 Sep 2004 07:38:09 GMT

Advertising seems to have such an effect on people! i dislike the notion that people need to conform to being normal! what is normal anyway!!!???!!! every person should have an equal opportunity in life and be able to choose the lifestyle they want, don't you think? just my whinge for the day! overall i am quite content not having alot of money and making the most out of what we do have.

Sat, 04 Sep 2004 01:20:35 GMT

mmmm, Caffiene. Now i feel slightly more human.

life

Sun, 29 Aug 2004 07:06:48 GMT

as is sit here pondering the wisdoms of the world and indeed the chaos that life in this world presents i can't help but wonder why is stress such a huge part of life? When did this world turn into such a full on place that people forget to relax and even forget what relaxing is!

discrimination

Thu, 26 Aug 2004 22:10:15 GMT

did you know about the amount of discrimination that people with disabilities receive? Its horrible. The government is only just implementing legislation and policies for the protection and inclusion of people with an impairment. Some inclusion policies have been around for a little while but no where near enough to really include impairment into our society!

busy

Tue, 24 Aug 2004 08:51:24 GMT

life is too short to whinge but i'm going to do it anyway! Doing too much in life gives you headaches! Another long day as usual and trying to cram too many things into one short day. I can't wait for the weekend (already!) and for a small but well needed break from chaos!
