Birthday presence
I've noticed lately, especially when I've got a jam packed day ahead, that when I'm in the midst of doing one thing, I'm always thinking ahead to what is coming up (and usually when and what I have to do to prepare) on the schedule. In essence, I'm never present. Today was one of those …
A cyclone in the pit of my stomach
Today I have been glued to the tv watching the news coverage unfold about the cyclones battering our country (cyclones for the non-Aussies are the same as hurricanes, just spinning in the opposite direction). In particular, I've been focussed on the one called Marcia that has been holding my hometown of Yeppoon to ransom. My sister and …
Summertime dreaming
I wanted to post something a little more meaningful and relevant tonight but I've spent much of it outside with the hubby planning out the (potential) new pool and then spending an hour on Pinterest trying to look for landscaping ideas... so tonight has pretty much been a write off! But it's also very …

So much to do, so little time
How is it that I've been on maternity leave for eight months, and now that I'm about to return to work decide that things need to be done! Today is only Monday, but I've been running about like a blue-arsed fly (that, my non-Australian readers is a bit of Aussie slang) and have a raging headache …
Uh oh…
So my mums group dinner last night cost me nearly $600!!! $60 for dinner and $500 in insurance excess because of this: No, this is not my car. This is Mrs Mone's car. Yes, I was the one that hit it. Mrs Mone was doing me a huge favour and had come over to watch …
We interrupt this regular broadcast…
Mumma Nards has gone out for dinner tonight with her Mum's group. She is currently enjoying adult conversation, an interruption free environment and I suspect a very nice local Sauv Blanc. For your viewing pleasure, she has scheduled the following video that she found highly amusing this afternoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7AvZPTT4kU And side by side in comparison …
