Friday Funday

Let me tell you what was GOING to happen today first. I was going to pop up to school to take pictures of Bonnie getting a merit award from the Principal :-) take Eric to Preschool, go to gym & then head off to see Mamma Mia!

...Bon went up to school with D early. Well, by the time we got in there she had already been given her award & shaken Dad's hand...so no wonderful photos that I so wanted last year. After the Assembly she rushed off to class with only a quick hug from us & D had to head off to work. Big sigh...so late for assembly which made us late for Preschool. I drove in the car yelling "Well WHAT was the point of THAT? WHAT a WASTE of PETROL!!!!" I was so disappointed & ashamed that I'd missed seeing my own daughter. We tried so hard to get there on time...I know she wouldn't care but I cared. I sat there with my camera totally BUMMED out. Then I had to turn around & be Mrs Smiley Principal's Wife when I just wanted to cry...

I got to Preschool late, BUT - & isn't life just wonderful sometimes when things like this line up - I bumped into the other mum whose husband has been battling cancer. It was so good to see her & talk statistics & hear that Charlie Teo was their specialist etc etc. Perhaps THAT was worth missing a photo this morning, to be able to love & encourage another person in their journey...

Then I headed off to gym & pounded that walk machine & all those other exercises...got rid of some frustrations...

We found out last night - this is a long story & one that I don't really want to Blog about at the moment - that we are in quite a bad place financially. Kevin would be shaking his head at me!! "Never a borrower or a lender be!" Well, I have my husband, I have two beautiful kids that I didn't think I would have, we own our house & we have lots of love. Sheesh, I'm typing on an old second hand computer but I have one...I am blessed beyond words. I tell that to myself when I feel overwhelmed about trying to psych up to work again...
