Totally Over It...

Well I am!! I'm over bloody prodding, poking, treatments that make me feel worse. I'm over the trade me thing to the point that tomorrow after yet more rounds of hospital crap, I'm making up 10 kits of everything and having the final auctions. NZ Post are seriously p*****ing me off with crap service but I'm glad that I can come on here and rant away........2 blackouts today which means the new meds are not working aaaaaaghhhh........Thanks for letting me do that :0)

Can We Bypass Last Week

Last week was absolutely shocking - so it's a new week and lets start again :-)

I ended up with the headaches that caused me to pass out, hospital appointments, more treatment, and Trade Me (aaagghh) Have decided that I'm just going to make massive packs with what is left and send them out in huge boxes, that way, all auctions can be underway this week and we can start the clear-out..............whoo hoo...My legs have gone completely today - post more treatment - so at this moment, I can't walk :0( BUT we went to Lake Rotoiti for the weekend as John's dad is 70 tomorrow so the whole family went for the weekend for rest & relaxation. Not an ounce of scrapbooking has been done but tonight I have to make a card for FIL so I'd better get a move on - lol - and of course, because of the crappy week, the room is STILL not done - lol

WAY TOOO HOT.......

It's way too hot out there ALREADY...To hot to do anything outside, but my home today is cool for once, so off to tackle the rest of "THE BACK ROOM" please say a prayer for me in the event that I am never heard from again......Today, I was allowed a lie in , I think that it was so I don't look worn out & haggard when I see the surgeon tomorrow...Or mor like so I don't blame the early morning starts when the surgeon asks why I look soo haggard in the morning..LOL - sometimes I want to say - come live at my house for a week and that would explain everything! Christines hubbie bought a new car yesterday as a surprise (!!) and I tried to get Priscilla involved in a recipe swap because Blair does all of the cooking (ha ha) SHE WAS HORRIFIED, and sent me a lovely email to explain why she couldn't take part....use your imagination.. Anyway no more procrastination - to the back room I go

Pondering Moments........

Despite the attacks of nausea (or full on vomiting) John still insists on me getting the cows in morning & night between shop duties and hospital appointments - apparently it takes my mind off it..?*#@ and at least if I vomit, I'm already outside(well that's his view)!!! However, Autumn is whispering here in the mornings - it's bloody freezing cold at 5am, however the other morning, as the sun rose it looked awsome with the mist everywhere (before theat it was just plain spooky riding through misty woodland looking for cows!), I noticed how many of our gates had been replaced with new style tapes, and thought, in 20 years time, gates won't be used on farms anymore and it made me think about scrapbooking and how we preserve memories...Feeling inspired at the shed, I told John all about my nostalgic thoughts "you're not going to do a scrapbook page on &^%@#$ gates are you" he asked....NOSTALGIC MOMENT OVER...

I hope you guys get my point..........

I'll remember to take my camera one morning and will post my findings

Early start...

We'll, after finally getting home & getting to bed at 1.30am, John woke me at 5am to get the cows in as our worker has been given a weeks holiday -aaagh, go the boys on the bus at 8am and had to go back to bed for an hour - lol...What happened to the days of late nights and handling it?? Valentines day tomorrow, and it's not something that we've ever bothered with, so tonight whilst John was at golf, I bought some excercise equipment from TM and told John "thanks for my presents"....Well it is our 20th valentines together so I'd say he's been let off quite lightly. I'm looking for some inspiration at the moment to get some scrapbooking done - well actually, I'm looking for the time to do it :-( Keep thingking that I'll get everything cleared from the shop, then deal to it before the next surgery. The old nausea is back, so spending most of the time with my head down the loo until they sort out my new meds - surely this should be helping my attempts at sureslim. I think I'll have to get a little challenge going to encourage me to get time to do a layout - any suggestions???

New Packs On The Move......

Well Rebecca & I are still here at the shop getting the next lot of packs ready for TM...They're HUGE and as usual will all be going on for $1.00 reserve....There's a bumper harvest festival and Becks is part way through a massive mega paper pack - but we're whacked now and are on our way home...Retirement will appear at some stage - lol.........................

No Scrapbooking Done.................

We've got soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many orders coming in on Trade Me that I haven't had the chance to get any scrapbooking done at all :-( We're in the middle of a major meds changeover, so let's just say that it's helping me along with my weight loss............lol....Saw Cill on Friday and all is well, and Wilma has been rushed back into hospital with her heart not working properly again - but she was rushed into Tokoroa right in the middle of the bus accident, how sad was the accident.. - so her exit may take a little longer. Christines already been asked if Viagra's available over the counter (lol) on her 1st day, and I think that only Becks has got any work completed - and she's the one with 2 kids under 4 at home. The last of our auctions go online this week - huge big bumper kits for $1 reserve - and FINALLY - check out the link to SOUL - we're back on our way and maybe this is the kick up the but that i need to use some of my supplies........As Zeetra pointed out on the comment below, I'm going to need to get using it once it becomes "visible" at home. Off to sort out the orders ready for tomorrow.....

Another day....

Well today may be the day when I get a little scrapbooking done...I'm determined this week to have the boys new school photos done. My goals for this year is to scrap all new photos as soon as they're processed & printed, and worry about the older ones to scrap during calving when we go into hibernation mode. Finally got Sam onto the school bus this morning, and the poor thing has to stay on the bus whilst it's parked outside his ols school for a while (the one that he wanted to stay at...) DALLAS - I've finally clearing carpet in the back room - how's it going with you? I figured that we've been here 1 year at the end of May and that room HAS to be tidy by then.
Have decided to move the craft room into the other spare bedroom and thet means that my "stash" will now be way more visible - darn it..
Soul starts again tomorrow........

NEW TICKER TOO

AAAAGH - what does stress free mean?

Well' Becks & I have been flat out getting things online for TM and she decided to bid on something she liked and got her hands slapped for it. I went to get weighed and had lost another 1.5kgs - that's 8 1/4 in 3 weeks - and Christines new work colleagues were off sick today so she got landed in at the deep end. My two boys changed school today much to the elders disgust - and I have 2 surgeons asking me to keep my life as stress free as possible - WHAT THE HECK IS THAT - LOL!! Sam - my eldest - is comparing me to Eva Braun at the moment - I'm sure he'll come round - and the shop closure seems to be dragging on forever and ever. Clean up - load on - ship out, over and over (he he he) Now I am a whinging POM. Glad you liked the book Zeetra, and once again thanks for your help......Has anyone else had that first day back at school madness?? Surgeons again tomorrow - at least then I get quiet time in the car.........Until then

1 more day down...

Well, Christine, Jenny & I were in the shop today - the Trade Me sales are coming in fast and furious and Rebecca & I are putting them on from home but there's probably a month's worth of work ahead of us - phew. Our account on trade me is under Tomberlaa - thank god I haven't bought anything decidedly dodgy in the past - may-be I should have a little hidden account so no-one knows what I've been buying - lol! We took the kids out on the lake late yesterday - some friends had bought a sumo suit for their boat - being dragged behind a boat at full speed in an inflated suit made me thankfull of being able to use my illness as an excuse - it was genuine & honest at the same time - lol {the picture is from their advert by the way, I didn't see any of our guys smiling}. Out boat towed the banana then we had taken one of the neighbours kids with us and got him up on learner skis for the first time - the look on his face was absolutely priceless....The summer hols ar coming to an end and I'm going to have to get my a into g if I'm going to get those boys on the 8am bus.....Diet's going well - my pants fell of tonight [fastened] - WHAT AN HORRIFIC THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
