What a Week

Hi Everyone

I have had an awful week..come to think about it the last two and a half weeks have been ones I just want to forget. I know life dishes out some hurdles to all of us at times and I do believe what doesnt break us only makes us stronger but I dont want to have to be strong all the time...can anyone relate to this or is it just me feeling sorry for myself?.

Ok well tune out now if you like as the next few lines are going to be about the past week........

Last Wednesday my car decided to play up and ended up costing me $470 , then on Friday after I took Alea to the drs my daughter rings me on my mobile crying saying that our little dog was caught under the fence and was being attacked by other dogs....omg I didnt know what to expect but hurried home praying that it wouldnt be as bad as it sounded....thankfully my prayers were answered and poor tiger is a bit worse for wear to look at and is on antibiotics but Shell was able to free him before it was much worse.

Alea got a good report from the dr which was great and went back to school on Monday only to come home and burst into tears........... she didnt have a good day at school , firstly her Science teacher told her that she had that night to catch up on all the work she had missed as she was sick of kids having time off school, when Alea tried to explain to her why she was off she told her that was no excuse...next drama while she was away her timetable was changed and PE prac was on this day, now Al cant do PE, Sport, Dance or much at all until she sees her specialist on the 14th June so the PE teacher gives her a green card and tells her to go pick up rubbish in the playground..once again Al explains to a teacher who this time is prepared to listen but still insists she pick up rubbish which Al said no too(good for her). Next its her Dance teacher who at this stage isnt aware that Al cant participate in the festival which is in 2 weeks time anyway but who says to her that since she has been away the original dance has been changed and it would be best for her to quit as she doesnt feel she could learn it in time.............hows that for shattering ones self esteem!!!!!!!. Then when Al went to pick up her school photos she was told they didnt have them and to check that mum had paid for them...of course I paid for them , I then had to ring the company in Sydney and here it is Thursday and I am still waiting on a return call.

Tuesday I went to the school as you can imagine...I was just so mad.

Monday I found out I have to move , owner wants to renovate the house without us in it....just so wonderful to hear after being here for nearly 4 years.. I hate moving but has to be done so have been house hunting Tuesday and Wednesday and today got a call that I got the one we all wanted which is great but I still hate moving.Dear Mum reminded me this afternoon that if I had done things right a few years back I wouldnt have to worry about renting..thanx mum can always count on you NOT.....will not go into that with you as that is a SAGA in itself.

Anyway no exercise for the past 7 days no excuse.....eating hasnt been the best either.....water not good...fluid retention shocking and the scales saying now a 3 kg gain... I am feeling emotionally drained, cant really deal with this I dont feel until I now move and get settled.....is this sounding like a copout??

Anyway best go get some dinner happening..hope you are all well
Catch you all soon

Love Em xxxxx

Darling, all I can say is I hope you gave the school what for. I know I would have.

There are too many obstacles in our lives, but we can always overcome them. Because simply we are better than them.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Look for the positives, not the negatives. Move ahead always. Don't look back. Because my sweet you have come too far. The world is your oyster. You have already achieved so much and you can do so much. Never give up.

Love you Em. Keep going. You are too precious to stop looking ahead.

You and me will meet before too long. I promise. And I bet we will give both so much.

You have a great weekend.
