Day 220
There's a lot to be said for having a quiet day with nothing planned. This has been such a huge week and I haven't had a lot of sleep so it's nice to have some quiet time now that my batteries are completely flat!
After being on a huge high and cloud nine for days the inevitable crash is bound to happen and I am definitely feeling it today. I am just glad that I can recognise that it was going to happen and made sure I had nothing on so I could just mooch about. I am not sad or anything like that, just totally drained and very tired. It is nice to have the luxury to just be tired and not have to push myself!

A Positive Year - Day 219
Day 219
I am so grateful to be surrounded by a bunch of fantastic people. Not only do I have a wonderful hubby and fantastic kids, I also have the best mates a girl could ask for. We are there for each other when we're down and celebrate with each other when something great happens and we are honest with each other when we need it!
After having such a stressful time over the past 2 years it really opened my eyes to a lot of things and I am so appreciative to be on the other side of it all and seeing things more clearly.
I know some pretty damn special people and I am so lucky!!

Day 218
It is now time to hop off my awesome weekend cloud and get back into my regular routine!
What better way to start back on my regular routine than by going to the gym for a spot of Zumba and then finish off my mountain of ironing! I am still in a bit of a daze but have my feet firmly planted back on the ground. It probably helps my return to reality that I only have a week until I get my other hand operated on so I will be out of action again so I need to catch up on getting things done!
All I can say is what a fantastic week!

Day 217
Although we had the best weekend together as a couple, it is so good to be home with our girls!
They had an absolutely wonderful time without us and had so much fun with their Grandparents so it made our first ever trip away from them so much easier and much more enjoyable!
The whole weekend seemed to go in a blur of excitement for all of us! It will be very hard to get back to reality today!

Day 216
I know this is a day late but yesterday hubby and I were still in Melbourne until late last night while I was part of filming for a game show.
I can't give you any results or too many details from the day, but I can say that we both had so much fun!! What a great bunch of people!! We were all so different yet all seemed to just click and have a great time! Even all of our supporters seemed to band together and get along like old friends.
It was quite funny to see the difference in the mood between the transfers to and from the airport. When we first arrived in Melbourne we were all so quiet and didn't know what to talk about. On the way back to the airport everyone was laughing and talking like we had known each other for years!
I seriously recommend if you ever get the opportunity to do something like this that you should definitely give it a go! Whether you win or not, the experience is totally worth it!

I know this is a day early but since I will be in Melbourne with hubby there is no way I will want to be taking time out to write my blog entry for the day.
I figure that is a positive in itself since we will be enjoying ourselves too much to find the time for me to write it! So I will keep this short and sweet!
Happy Sunday everyone!!

The weekend is finally here! I can't believe it! Hubby and I are off to Melbourne tomorrow for our first trip away together in 12 years!
Today is totally frantic making sure we have everything ready and doing all the last minute things but it is so worth it knowing that tomorrow we are off!
But before I start cleaning and groceries etc I have to get my natural tan sprayed on so I don't look to pasty or white on tv. Gotta get my priorities straight! lol

Aaahh it's finally Friday!! I am extra excited this Friday because this is the weekend that hubby and I get to go to Melbourne.
Regardless of the outcome of the game show that I am going on, I am so grateful to have this trip to get away with hubby for a couple of days. Especially since it has also been paid for!
He is so busy at work at the moment it feels like we haven't seen each other that much so it will be nice to be able to spend some time together with no distractions. It's taken us 12 years to be able to have a weekend away together so we're gonna make the most of it!

Day 212
It was one year ago today that we bought the home we are living in now. I have to say it was the best decision we have ever made!
Since moving here we are all more settled and happier than any other house we have lived in. It is such a nice quiet neighbourhood and the girls are loving their new school. The added bonus is we still get to see all of our good friends from the old neighbourhood as well.
This past year has gone so fast and so much has happened but since we moved here and it has all been so positive. It makes me feel more confident and confirms that we have done the right thing.

Hubby is back today. I know he was only gone a day but it's just not the same at home without him. We don't spend much time apart so it feels weird when we do.
I have made sure I used my time in a positive way to get some things done and to make the time go faster which has made a huge difference. I am now excited for him to see the changes that I have made when he gets home! Now I think it is time to relax with my kindle out in the sunshine!

Day 210
There's nothing better than a super busy day doing things you want to. It definitely keeps the spirits up!!
While hubby is away for work I thought I would take advantage of the time by finally finishing painting our bedroom. After the first coat I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because my hand was aching but instead of wallowing I picked myself up and went for a 14km walk with friends.
Now that I am back I am feeling uplifted and positive and ready to tackle the second coat of the walls! It's surprising what a difference friends and a bit of exercise can bring!

A Positive Year - Day 209
Day 209
Today I decided to use my spare time for good instead of evil and I volunteered to help with an awesome organisation that helps mothers who are suffering with cancer.
It was so nice to do something that was positive and made me feel good about myself and my outlook on things. It's so easy to get sucked into the vortex of negativity. There seems to be a lot of media and social negativity and judgement these days that you can't help but get worked up over some things. This is why I wanted to change my day to day attitude and lifestyle so I could stop focussing on the negatives and start to feel positive by watching inspirational people do good for others.
It probably sounds like a selfish reason to volunteer but surrounding myself in positive energy doing something for others certainly was a better use of my time than whinging about things that I can't control or change.

Day 208
It is a very quiet day today so I am concentrating on a little thing today to be my positive. It was a nice little surprise when I got to the fruit shop this morning. I have been waiting for the past few cold months for it and finally they arrived!! Mangoes are in stock!! I know it is still quite early for mango season but they looked and smelled so sweet and delicious and they were so reasonably priced that we could not resist in buying them.
This is proof that summer is another step closer!!

Day 207
Today our youngest daughter got to see her oldest and dearest friend who she has been missing so much! This was her first friend from daycare and they are just as crazy as each other! Our little miss has been harrassing us for ages because she hadn't seen her friend since "forever"! The great thing is that when they did see each other they were just as crazy as they always are!
The spent the morning running around our neighbourhood and house like loons and then this afternoon they were going to the Ekka with her friend's family. This is our little miss' first time to the Ekka and she was absolutely desperate to go (especially since her sister got to go last year with a friend). They are also staying for the fireworks to make the evening even more exciting!
I can't wait to hear how much fun it was when they get home!

Thank God it's Friday!! I love Fridays!! To top off a great Friday I got to catch up with a good friend for a bit of girly time.
Poor hubby is sitll at home with the manflu but at least he could have some peace and quiet while I went out to the movies and shopping.
Although we can't have our usual happy hour, it will be nice to have some quiet family time relaxing out in the sunshine in the yard and let the sun warm up our bones.

Day 205
This has been a week of cleaning and decluttering for me. It's surprisng how fast the junk seems to accumulate. Even though we have only been here for a year it's surprising how fast it all seems to multiply (especially from the kids!).
I have been completely frustrated watching the junk multiply while my hand has been out of action so I feel so much lighter and more relaxed since it has all been cleared away. I just hope it can stay this way for a while!
Now that I have cleared out the old I have made way for the new!

Today I got my tickets and itinerary for our trip to Melbourne next weekend for the Hot Seat show. I am so excited that it is only just over a week away!!
I don't care if I don't win anything on the game show, I am more excited over the fact that hubby and I get to go away together by ourselves. This is the first time we have gone away on our own since we had children!!! That's nearly 12 years!
Don't get me wrong, it has been our choice not to go away and we absolutely love spending time with our girls but that doesn't mean we are not looking forward to our night away.
Now what will I wear!!??

Day 203
This morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was really cranky and grumpy. Instead of wallowing in it I decided to force myself to get out of the rut of bad mood I was in and go for a walk along the waterfront in the sunshine.
By the end of the walk I was feeling so much better! My black mood had lifted and I feel so much more relaxed and a hell of a lot happier than I was feeling this morning.
It's amazing how something as small as going for a walk in the sunshine can make a huge difference to your state of mind! And the best part about it is that it is free!!

You've gotta love starting the week with a public holiday!! Not everywhere has a public holiday today but today is the Redlands Show Day so that means no school for the girls.
Since hubby still has to go to work (Brisbane Show Day isn't until Wednesday) us girls have decided to have a nice quiet day at home and let hubby take the car with him. We've been so busy lately and the girls have been sick so I made an executive decision that we could all do with a bit of a break and just chill for the day and recharge the batteries before another big week ahead.
We might even stay in our pyjamas until 9am!! Oooh how rebellious!! lol

Day 201
I love a lazy morning on a Sunday! The kids have friends over so they are happy and aren't fighting with each other and hubby has gone to the driving range with his mate. So I am enjoying the peace and quiet and a nice cuppa while everyone is happy and entertained.
I have decided to spend my morning of peace and quiet catching up on a bit of sewing. I have almost finished a dress for my youngest daughter. Of course, she hates wearing a dress but because the material is black with pirate skulls and swords all over she has decided that will be okay.
This is definitely a nice relaxing way to start the day!

It's another gorgeous sunny morning and we are off to the park for a birthday party. What a perfect morning for it!
As I type this, my hubby is making us all a fabulous breakfast to give us the energy to keep us going on a busy day like today and I must admit I am feeling just a little bit spoilt!
To top off such an awesome morning, my youngest daughter got her first invitation to a girl from her new school to go to her birthday party. I don't know if she was more excited about going to the party or getting an invite!!
I think by the time tonight comes around I will really enjoy my glass of wine!

Day 199
I am absolutely floored by the support and understanding I have received from work about my hand operations! Most businesses would've made me resign since I had just started with them when it happened. Not my work!! They have been so helpful and done everything they could to keep my job open for me! I have been offered to go back to a casual position so I can work when I am able to. This is the best possible outcome I could've asked for!
This certainly proves that I shouldn't jump to conclusions and think the worst possible scenario, which is something that I do constantly! I am so grateful to be working for a company that cares about their people and not just the bottom line!

I am so thrilled that I am finally able to start sewing again! It has been a while since I started making a dress for my daughter and seeing it sitting there and going nowhere has been driving me insane! I decided after my walk today to bite the bullet and give it a go and see how things pan out. Lucky for my sanity I was able to do it! Now there are no excuses, let's see how it turns out!

Finally my friend and I got to catch up for a quick cuppa this morning! Between our busy schedules it had been ages since we had a chance to. As luck would have it though my oldest daughter was at home sick from school today with a virus but thankfully she wasn't too sick for us to still be able to go for a quick cuppa and a chin wag.
I haven't headed over to that side of town for a while so it was nice to head back over for a little while at least. It was a great way to spend the morning. Now all I need to top of a great start to the day would be to get some good news at the doctors this arvo about my hand. I am definitely thinking positive about it!

Last night I got a phone call confirming my flights and accommodation to go to a game show in August. This will be the first time that my hubby and I have gone away by ourselves since we had kids. I am not sure what I am more excited about. The time away or going on the game show. I don't think that I will win anything but it will be great just to be able to experience the adventure!
Who knows what will happen on the show but I can guarantee you that we will have a fun weekend and make make the most of our trip to Melbourne because who knows when we will get back there again!

Both girls are back at school after week of lurgies and conjunctivitis. It's a great way to start the week! There's nothing worse than when they feel rotten and don't want to do anything, so it was great to see them full of beans and excited to get back to their friends.
We had a fantastic weekend with our family visiting and the fact that the girls are getting better is an added bonus. Top all this off with perfect weather and it is a recipe for a great day!

It's another gorgeous sunny winter's morning in Qld. What better way is there to spend such a lovely morning, with our favourite aunty an uncle, than heading off to the markets! We may even have to back that up by heading out to Sirromet Winery for an afternoon of tastings and relaxation.
This is why I love Sunday so much!!

It's a gorgeous sunny day and we made the most of it by heading on down to South Bank for a stroll around the markets and a spot of lunch. The great thing when family or friends come to stay is that we can play tourists and go to all the places we take for granted in everyday life.
We have topped off the perfect day by sitting in the yard with a nice glass of wine and relaxing while catching up on what's going on.
Seriously it is so easy to take these things for granted. I can highly recommend playing tourist on a regular basis. It's so easy to miss the exciting things that are happening around you!

My favourite aunt and uncle arrive today for the weekend. Technically they aren't my aunt and uncle, they are my hubby's, but since I don't have any of my own I have also adopted them as mine. I love it when they come to stay, it's always such a fun time. But most importantly it's not stressful on anyone!
We don't have a very big extended family between us so it's nice to be able to see what little family we have and enjoy the time we have together. So watch out Sunday Markets because that is always on our list of things to do!!

A Positive Year - Day 191
Day 191
For the first time since I had my hand operated on I have been able to put on a pair of jeans to wear. This is a big thing for me! I have hated being stuck in stretchy gym pants for the past week without having any options of colour or style to choose from. It also means that my hand is getting better and I can do more things.
For me this is a great way to start the day and has made me feel so happy!

A Positive Year - Day 190
Day 190
What a gorgeous day!! The sun is shining and down on the waterfront, the tide is in and the sun is glistening across the bay. It was a perfect morning for a walk along the waterfront with a mate. We walked 10kms in the sunshine, talking and laughing. I really love getting out on days like today and making the most of the weather and the sunshine. It lifts my spirit and the best part is that it doesn't cost a cent!
I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful area where there are plenty of places to make the most of days like this.
