Time flies when you're ....

Holy hell where did that month go?  My last blog was late May and we're now about to wrap up June.  I haven't posted anything and I feel slightly guilty about it.  I know I shouldn't, it's not like I’ve been twiddling my thumbs raising 3 kids and all, but what did I do last month?  Let's see :


  • I've nursed 7 cases of the cold/flu
  • Entertained the concept (and cost) of returning to college
  • Watched my share portfolio crash… again
  • Dismissed the concept (and cost) of returning to college
  • Attended Mum and Bub dance classes
  • Hosted dinner parties
  • Started a community health course
  • Faced 2 very old demons (people) of my past
  • Left community health course
  • Treated a teething toddler for 3 of the 2yr old molars
  • Mourned the anniversary of family member's passing
  • Celebrated my daughter's 2nd birthday, 3 days later…
  • Been visited by all versions of family and friends for said 2yr old birthday cause I didn't want to deal with organising a party (bad choice on my behalf, party would have been easier in the long run)
  • Seen the return of my carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Helped a friend start a new business
  • Broke in a new support volunteer
  • Saw a close friend move overseas
  • Relished and lamented at 48hrs away from the kids
  • Celebrated our wedding anniversary
  • Enjoyed my first taste of real French cuisine (aka snails)
  • Farewelled my past in one hell of a messy/drunken swan song
  • Nursed myself through the mother of all hangovers
  • Joined a playgroup
  • Started the duo on solids
  • Sprained my back
  • Essentially paid for my chiropractor’s next holiday in fees treating sprained back
  • Review household and revisit baby proofing for little rolling / crawling peoples
  • Buy and install new car seats to stop the screaming babies
  • Progressively increase distance driven with the trio, testing new car seats
  • Fell over while holding a baby
  • Participated in 3 market research product trials
  • By some grace of the gods, we have been the recipient of a large flat screen TV, a HD set top box, a Wii console, a new laptop and a multi function centre.
Phew….


Like a friend recently blogged, we’re all SO busy these days, I mean who isn’t?

 

Sure my month has been full on, with all the ups and downs listed above, but I have 3 happy gorgeous children, a husband who loves me and that I adore, an amazingly supportive family and network of friends. Not to mention, food in the fridge and a roof over my dragon den.

 
So what did you do last month, do you even remember but more importantly what are you grateful for this past month?
