Moving Forward.....

So we are moving forward. There is nothing else we can do. Life doesn't stop for the rest of us.

We are mostly all good. My Mother in Law is the strongest woman I know. She is coping so well.

I will be back soon with a nice happy normal post.

A Quick Update.

Ralph has been admitted to hospital this morning and won't be coming home. Brett is in Bowen at the moment with his family and I will follow either later today or in the morning. I really want to be there today and am seriously thinking I will only do the school swimming today and then head down after school.

If you haven't told your family you love them today please do.

Hugs to you all.

This Beautiful Man

It's hard for me to believe that in as little as 6 weeks this beautiful man will no longer be a pat of our lives.

This beautiful man who has taught me so much over the 25 years I have loved his son.

This beautiful man who has taught me the importance of family.

This beautiful man who will live on in his son and grandchildren and so remain close to me evermore.

This beautiful man who I love.

Gone but not forgotten......

A year ago I lost a dear friend. I miss her every day. I will never forget you.

The Beginnings of Something New....

Today I have been online shopping. I need a strapless bra for a party next weekend. It's a pain living in a small town. It's a pain that I can't buy a bra in the next town. Needing a bra in a bigger size means that I can't buy a bra at TARGET. I hate the fact that to even buy something nice to wear I either have to buy online and hope for the best or wear granny type clothes.

Today as I was doing my thing a plan began to form in my tiny little mind. And it is just a thought for now but I would be glad of your input. (or is it imput...please correct me on this one) I'm thinking I might open a shop in Bowen that caters to the larger sized woman in lingerie and clothing. Nothing grannie. All funky and stylish. Starting at a size 14 or even 16. Even in the bra's. We have nothing like that within a 3 hour radius and even 'Millers' is a bit grannified.

Of course there are a lot of logistics to work out and I will need to do a lot of research, but I am sure it can work amd work well.

I am hoping for your honest feedback with this no matter what you think.

Cheers

20 Years Ago Today

I was married. It has been my great honour and pleasure to be married to Brett. He has loved me through thick and thin and during times when the last thing I deserved was to be loved. Brett complete's me. I am so lucky to have met some one like him and for him to have chosen me to be his life partner.

Out of the Mouth's og Tween's.....

Adele's class are doing a lesson once a week on how they feel about growing up and bullying and all things that are important in their young lives.

Yesterdays class was on being brave.

The person I think is most brave is my Grandad.

Grandad has lung cancer.

Grandad stays brave, confident and positive.

Cue Mum blubbering like a baby at the pool with an audience. I don't know how I raised such a bright and articulate little girl.
