Off to the school disco... fun fun fun!!! I wish all the days were like this one, rushing around dressing up, not a care in the world. I am so over the misery of not being able to, or can't... different ideals, and notions.. all problems can be solved somehow... kind of life. No new bike for me this year... blessed are those that are ... and blessed are those that be... love is never lost if you know how to attain it... love them.. love her.. love him!

Brilliant Day out with a great gal!!!!!

2010-07-03T19:32:00.002+12:00

Layer upon layer
The world that revolves
so slowly
we barely stop and see
look beyond the clouds
under the fog
there is love
laughter, children
loss, and crying
mystery & violence
but still its our world
under the clouds

RIP DOBSY

Paul Dobbs, 100% a top guy... your life was taken doing what you love best, on one of the most ruthless tracks in the world... you should be with your family, no resting for the best. Brent take care of this guy... your both gone to early!

Warbird, flying over the classic bike races Feb 2010... great day out, even went on the bikes, and parked right bang in the middle of 100's of other bikes, the only L plate in site, very funny!

2010-02-13T08:29:00.002+13:00

Bit of a depression going on, can't flick the fact that my self esteem has been squashed into the ground, no going to Uni me thinks, or do I have a point to prove, I know I am stronger than letting others push me into the ground.

I am ... and I will be.

I shall ... and will continue.

Flattery will get one everywhere, negativity will not.

I love life, people, my girls, but why do some people have to be so god damn depressing and not plonk a smile on their faces, and say it is not all that bad.

I am!

Our Xmas day :)

2010-01-03T22:54:00.003+13:00

Ever heard a silent scream that is enya when she got her guitar... ever heard a child say thankyou so graciously and grateful even tho they were second hand, thats Danica.. my kids are so fantastic it even blows me away... lovely day with family minus 2... but we will rectify that soon enough. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Wanganui Race Day

2009-12-29T14:05:00.002+13:00

Absolutely worth the trip south, 5 hrs there abouts driving on xmas day. Then on our feet listening watching breathing drooling amazed smelling all day. My fav's was the sidecars, but really impressed with everyone, superbikes awesome, totally amazed at the handling at high speeds, met some really nice people, made some new friends, slept in a wonderfully flash motel. Then partied till 11.30pm, Richy then drove home to Auckland. 6am to bed for 5 hours... ah sigh. Now its raining !

Christmas Eve

2009-12-24T05:27:00.002+13:00

Its christmas eve and all around the house, nothing doth stir, not even a mouse, the children are all gone, the men are asleep... the lights glare out at the sunrise almost to peak. My babies I miss .. I am incomplete... the sadness overwhelmes that I cannot to them even speak.

Enya & Danica my everlasting dream ... I miss you!

2009-03-03T23:42:00.003+13:00

Dad was admitted to middlemore intensive care, University starts, ...and the kids are playing up cause they can, I am too exhausted to deal with everything... I do have this thing in my brain that drives me... what it is I don't know.. .but I keep going... and one day the smiles will come.

I wish some people would let things be, and leave me in peace, I wish some people loads of hugs... I miss my dad, 8 days in hospital 7 unconscious, such a long wait, and then huge recovery.... I want him back yesterday.

I went to the beach one holiday

I forgot my swimtogs

and start to play

Swish swish went the waves

Woosh woosh went the days

When we got home

We jumped in the pool

When we got out we felt really cool

When we go there next year

We will have to remember

To bring our swim gear.

:)

2009-01-27T19:45:00.004+13:00

Washed up on the ocean beach

Cutting deep the fingers seek

Mindless creeps into mind

Just a curious dream
Just a curious dream

Pennies drop from the skies

Motionless winds blow them by

shut your windows shut your doors

As it is just a curious dream
As it is just a curious dream

The nettled blankets of the fields

Sting our inner souls

Open your eyes, Open to dream

Sinking Curious Dreams
Sinking curious dreams

Sand stops in time I can't make it mine

Sweeping through my fingertips

lifes time, passes by

Fighting Back curious dreams
Fighting Back curious dreams

I was asked for something,... and this is what I had.

2009-01-05T18:14:00.000+13:00

There is love
There is fire
Then there is desire

I held the hand of the dove
To become at peace with myself
No mixing of needs
I just needed to believe

Back finding a place
make no mistakes
moving forward without
thats the fire that creates desire

don't correct the past
make the future less forbidden
thats how life should be driven
be at one with yourself

then there is love
a fire
lit with desire

wow

2009-01-02T20:32:00.002+13:00

twas a day

2008-11-11T14:33:00.001+13:00

Just another day
Turning another year over
thinking oh well life is

I am in my element
being 40 is such a great
feeling... never let
anyone remove that.

7.10am The usual stuff
7.20am Tea & Breakfast, make beds, open curtains, gooo brrrr its too cold
7.30am Lunches made & kids eating in front of Aladin (the only cartoon they are aloud to watch)
7.45am Oi you two... eat up... or u will belate
7.46am Check emails, gulp tea & breaky
8.00am Jump in bath (shower is fussy)
8.10am Yell out is everyone dressed for school
8.20am mmm no... get one sorted
8.30am Late again... you can ride, but u have to leave now.
8.40am Calmly walk into school, smile at everyone and leave without saying more than good morning...
9.00am Go to work... or not...depends if fridge still open at home, house locked, or even looking like livable to arrive home too.

And thats the morning... whew.. no wonder shattered and ready for coffee at

Scrap Camp Rotorua

2008-05-19T22:50:00.002+12:00

Another Weekend looming away out of town.

I am actually looking forward to it.

Yet I am so not organized, loads of photos all over the show.

Would love to do a project for Julia who is going back to germany in 5 weeks ;(

Yet all photos not printed, so will have to master up something amusing for her of our girls so she remembers us.

Has been a strange week, a bit messy in my head. But its all coming together... I can do this single thing.. its a breeze.

Wow 3 road rides this week, pats herself on the back... I love my new bike, it really puts me out there on the roads, breathing, feeling, free, can't wait till it as a motor haha.

You know what is another good feeling, I don't care about my housework, I walk out the door and say.. " I will do it later ", and I am mowing the lawns.. whew but good exercise..

ya all have to hold me to this, so no encouraging me to eat crap at camp... I am going to be a size 10, ride a motorbike, and have a tattoo by christmas... oh and be 40.. :) and single .... IF I FAIL IN ONE FORGIVE ME, HOPING THE FIRST COME OFF. HEHE

See ya all at camp.... whomever you are.!!!!

MY LIFE IS SUCH A REPITITION

2008-05-15T09:15:00.003+12:00

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

What is it with sunsets & sunrises!!!!

2008-05-07T15:57:00.003+12:00

6.45 One very cold and foggy morning. It was a nice dry cold..not like a wet and yucky day... I believe I would rather awake to this than the rain. :)

Posting

2008-05-01T23:32:00.003+12:00

Promised Rob I would sleep early...and I am still awake at 11.30pm.. mmmm just feel awake... have been browsing everyones blogs.. 1. Inspiration 2. Entertainment 3. About time...

Reading seems to be something I lack in.. I love to read... read read. and scrap. and cross stitch... and knit...

here is the question how do u fit that into your life.. of children, work, lover, and entertainment...what do u forgo...what do you say will be ok, when your gone.. life moves to fast...

so decide prioritise whats important.. you or your loved ones, or your hobbies... or or or work... no not work.

Had a nice evening tonight .. scrappin with friends.

omg a scrapbooking page

2008-04-23T19:07:00.002+12:00

Enya and I are sharing a album, so this is one of mine. Today enya completed a page about her pre school grad... and tonight after she left for her dads I looked at it again.. and felt so proud. Enya wrote her own little story about pre-school at age 6.

WOW is all I can say.

Experienced a fab sunset,... these will be fun to mosiac.

THIS & a bit more....

2008-04-18T09:10:00.003+12:00

Been so busy, school finished over a week ago, Danica has been on school camp had a fab time, then two days in Rotorua at the Lakes, lucky girl. So in all this time, I have been to Taupo to meet Robbie, Rotorua to collect Danica, and this weekend off to Wellington for a fun and wild weekend ... with tea! lol

Today has to be friday and I am buzzing, want to upload pic of dinner party last weekend (and now I can hehe), it was a huge success, 9 bottles of wine later, and midnight crawled into bed not to worse for wear, there was 8 of us. Dinner was yum, kiwiana themed with kumera, and bbq veges, and pav.. & brandy snaps, Jens & Astrid bought the schnaps which unfortunately did not make it out of the freezer... whew maybe that was a good thing.

Laughed so hard with Alan & Oz telling some funny stories, my sides ached. What a great family & bunch of friends I have. Mum even had a blast... all in all 2008 is shaping up well... considering its April already.. be damned if anything is going to make me grumpy today... going try me,,, dare you lol.

over and out.

Sunsets

What a beautiful place, mountains, rivers & streams, lakes & beaches, such scenery as you have never seen.. and to share part of that makes it a dream place. Spent a fantastic day in Taupo with a special friend, loved every second of my time there, can't wait to go back.

What a great day!!!

2008-03-16T08:34:00.002+13:00

One free day, I painted my wine rack, made some easter baskets, read my book, snoozed for 2 hours, and cleaned my house, went shopping at a scrap shop, and had a nice glass of red wine on my deck watching the sun set. oooh

and found these beautiful lillies hidden in my garden. :) so put them in a big vase in front of the fire.

A supporting motherly role.. go enya.. go danica

Slow Dance

This is a poem
written by a young girl terminally ill with cancer in a New York Hospital.

She wants to see how many people get her poem.

It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
after the poem.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

you better slow down.
don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?

When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower

Hear the music
Before the song is over.

2008-03-01T17:16:00.001+13:00

Devonport Wine & Food Festival that was.

2008-02-27T22:38:00.002+13:00

Ok I have so wanted to go to this event for years, and now I have been not sure if I want to go back.. is that age.. maybe... the wine was nice, the people in the wine shacks were awesome, the music was great.. no awesome.. but the crowds & $40 odd bucks to get in.... I guess I missed the part about you pay for the bands.. bring back $5 bucks, and enjoy wine, and the wineries supply the local bands cheap...

Mind you mum & a. dy enjoyed themselves, and the wild and wool shop was fantastic.. knitting again .. hehe

PS Please note crappy day over.. moving on slowly

CRaPPy Days opposed to good days.

2008-02-26T14:23:00.002+13:00

Today is a crappy day, exhausted from lack of sleep, work, & thinking about how to squeeze everything into one day, my inexplicit ability to try and shove everything into one day, badminton, scrapbooking, housework, kids, homework, work, knitting, reading, family, myself, reading up an article in the next mag... a life coach,, mmmm yup then you have to include the cost into your day.. no wonder people go off the deep end, loose the plot, make themselves depressed, the modern age is so full of stuff yes stuff we must do, take me back to the days, when just living was difficult, when we had to wash our clothes by hand, when eating food was grown out of our own gardens, . When playing didn't involve x box, playstation or computers, when smoking was ok, when eating flour was ok... life is too damn complicated... then there is those like my ex husband gf with cancer, my life seems so easy in comparison.

Just a little time, to make the day mine
Just a little time, to hang the washing on the line
Just a little time, to read a book alone.

Find a moment, share it needlessly with a friend
Find a moment, kiss your husband/wife and make amends
Find a moment, praise the kids for the little things

Wasted time... on housework always there
Wasted time... argueing about nothing
Wasted time... watching mindless tv.

Take the time to write it down
How to make your smile fill a day
To grab a laugh and have a little time to play
To hug yr children even they get down
See those wrinkles they are created by the way
By the laughter you care to share every day.

x

And there she goes......

Happy Birthday Meg, and Happy Valentines

2008-02-14T21:56:00.006+13:00

Between megs birthday and valentines its been a great day...

Received a wonderful book from Laurie... about digital photography, can't wait to get into it.

And the card... 20 Beautiful things that are true about you.... you are something - and someone - very special. You Really are. No one else in this entire world is exactly like you and there are so many beautiful things about you.... it was very warm

As to Megs birthday, yum dinner, yum cake, and good company with lots of our kids... 6 girls whew..lol

Proud Mum

2008-02-11T22:29:00.000+13:00

Everyone in their lives must have felt proud about an achievement that their child as accomplished, well today I just about burst, I wanted to hug her so much, but of course even at 10 they take it in their stride, yet considering she has never won a race or competition before this took the cake, after 1 years of hard work, nights out, and her absolutely determination to achieve with total enjoyment my baby won the one thing she had been aiming for.

1st Breast stroke 50 metres
1st Free style 50 metres

Thanks to the team at Fulton Swim School, they rock. Daniel your the best.

Punk Canvas

2008-02-09T08:59:00.000+13:00

Going through a canvas stage again... this one is huge and fun, cause I get to go off the wall literally want to do 3D. Have a wicked photo of Megan to add, and Pink (the rock singer)... will post when its done, hopefully later on today... any tips welcome if you happen to be passing through.. I have 3D music treble, glitter ribbon, loads of funky pics of pink, glitter words "hot stuff" and a quote from pink about education and how important it is (thats for her mum hehe). She is 11 on wednesday, and just started college, so time for the nagging for a canvas to stop, and time to get creative.

Class fell thru on Thurs not enough people, schools back in and first day too, so we can work on a fortnight.

"I will never be a stupid girl... and neither should you. Today, charting your own course isn't just more necessary than ever before... it's also much easier -- and much more fun. A good education is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself" - Pink

Busy Busy Busy

2008-02-05T14:56:00.001+13:00

First class up for Thursday, looking forward to that extremely.

Keeping very busy at work... so enjoying my new car, nothing like a new to car to make a woman smile lol.

Girls are loving school, really buzzing riding there bikes again everyday almost, and I get to join them, all fun.

They have a new baby brother that rocks Bjorn, that has to be the biggest plus for them, a brother.. yet to see him, I hope one day.

Celtic

2008-02-03T19:18:00.000+13:00

Celtic Woman is one of the most emotional cd's I have ever purchased.. it makes you feel your at the top of a mountain in Scotland, and the bagpipes are playing...

The coolest things only happen spontaneously..
Magic is derived when you live on the edge...
Feeling mystical is a basis of living..
Never let life pass you by.. you will regret it!!!

A place of mystical enjoyment

Warm Fuzzies

2007-11-20T23:37:00.000+13:00

Finding my babies all curled up to me in the morning.
Holding hands
Cuddles
Selling a house
Taking care of someone
Putting on Lipstick
Driving with loud music (just cause ya can)
Not replying to senseless emails (now thats control)
Brushing yr childs hair
8/10
Swimming Sensations
People that make you laugh
Generating meaningless conversation for the sake of a chat
Listening cause they make more sense than you..(yup thats fuzzy)
TAKE A BITE OUT OF SOMEONE ELSES APPLE AND ASK THEM WHAT IT TASTES LIKE!!!!!!

Now this is much better... a slide show.

Its amazing how petty people can get, especially when an addiction like scrapbooking is in the picture. Received an article dated the 5 November 2007 regarding Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame competition, and reading it makes me so happy to be me. I don't scrap enough because I am not addicted to it... its just a hobby! Ladies that love to scrap, remember the sunshine, remember your children, (don't just fotograph them & scrap em).. play with them, love them, and hug them. And for crumbs sake you only live once, chill out. (ok thats my peace said hehe) .. that of course is not intended for anyone imparticular..

On a better note.. the sun is shining and intend on going to enjoy it. :)

Totally enjoying these free weekends without the girls, have a little knee jerk cry when I pick up there toys and clothes... sometimes even just laying on one of their beds for a snooze is relaxing.

Great LO to check out at Lee blog, and the No8 wired this month, two colours, really like that idea. Oh Danice got picked to be a Fiskars Demonstrator.. which is way cool, totally that woman has personality, she will rock at it.

Scrapping "whats that" I have to get motivated.. sigh.

Won't talk about my love life, not till I know one actually exists. Relatively happy where I am at now, and looking for more... not sure what else to say, my life must be boring. Can't get arty, want to go mow lawns haha, must be feeling somewhat domesticated.

Was in Fiji last week for 7 days with the girls, nice break away, slept lots, got a tan, spent money, and swam heaps, very cool place. Pics on my livejournal if ya wanna check them out.

Up to page 29 and stopped love the lo Dazed & Confused by Kelly, the pens are very cool, so I must give them a go.. I only own the white one ;(.

My beginners thurs night f/nightly classes are going well, I really enjoy the fun of learning, and I have so much still to learn, but sharing is an even bigger pleasure... I know have my own dedicated scrap room, including fantastic cupboard space, I can't believe I have one lo sitting there saying scrap me, and all I can come up with is the title.... which is "Keep in Touch".... well hopefully the scrap mag will inspire me... to post here when I get myself in gear.
