Honk all you like
Honk all you like, if there is no room, there is no room!!! Just the other day, I foolishly volunteered to pick my husband up from the Brisbane Airport. I say foolishly, as my friends will testify, I have absolutely no sense of direction and find driving anywhere off my beaten path, rather stressful, especially at […]
Previously I shared with you, how at the beginning of a project (and my family knows they are countless and never ending), that I approach it like ‘a bull at a gate’. It has now been almost three weeks that I threw caution to the wind, and decided that to tweak some of the storylines […]
Can someone please stop the clock – just for a minute, no, make that a week? I just need to catch up! I don’t know what is going on, but I feel as though my life is moving at an over-accelerated pace at the moment. No sooner than I get up, it is time to […]
Have you ever come up with an idea, that you thought was just so great, so wonderful, that you didn’t really process many thoughts about it, you just did it? Welcome to my world! I would like to think that as the years have rolled on, I have become a little more reserved, and cautious, […]
Isn’t it amazing how much easier it is to cope with life, when you’re happy and feeling good? Problems that come your way are not huge obstacles, just a mere blimp on your radius of happiness, to deal with and let go. When you’re feeling good, you’re feeling confident – you can cope with just […]
I know from recent outings, that the school holidays are starting to wear a little thin. The ‘I can’t wait for school to start again’ being silently channelled from harassed and most probably by this stage, broke parents, to their children, is to observers, quite deafening. I feel your pain – I can clearly remember […]
Word on the street is, it’s REPORT CARD time! Oh how I remember the anticipation of those neatly folded cards, spruiking the virtues of my good parenting for the past six months, and how my intelligence is reflected in the children’s grades, except for maybe science, but then I don’t care about science, so why […]
Queenslander! Queenslander! Queenslander! Did you watch the first State of Origin Game for the year? For Queenslanders, it was the result we all wanted, but as a ‘not frequent viewer of football’, it struck me as a rather ordinary game – dare I say, boring. When I raised this point with my brother, the knower […]
Over the past 30 years, I have been to many Teacher Professional Development Sessions – or as they are known more commonly, Teacher PD. Some are great, but unfortunately, most are not so great. The ones that I have enjoyed the most, are the teacher professional development days that actually gave me something practical – […]
“I can teach my child to read, I have lots of spare time,” said no parent of school-aged children ever! I have an apology to make – for the last 12 months, I have been out of touch with parents of school-aged children. You see, whilst I’ve been happily sailing along the ‘thank goodness my […]
