Sorry its been so long


Where does one restart when lifes journeys are all over the place.

I'll start from today!

Up at 5.00am, just could't sleep, starting watching my favourite cooking shows (as i get no time now with the twins who are nearly 3 years old - more on them later) Good Chef Bad Chef. It wasn't long before i had company and 2 little boys asking so nicely for Dora. That was the end of the cooking shows. After a back scratch & tummy rub they settled down for their morning Dora feast.
I took the opportunity to phone the hospital to check on my mother who has been in hospital for the past 4 weeks with gall stones which they have operated on but because of her age (85) there have been a few difficulties. This morning she wasn't feeling very well and in a lot of pain so i will make her some home cooked goodies and try to boost her spirits with those when i visit later today.

Meanwhile my DD, SIL & 5 week old baby woke up and the house was alive with chatter, breakfasts, washing, folding, tidying and plans for the day.

This is as far as we have got so i'll get back and add to this post later today.

My beautiful grandsons NOW!!! Of course and my beautiful daughter.





Well i really don't know where to begin. I love reading blogs, getting ideas and trying to put them into practice. My goal is to get a veggie garden up and running in my yard. I would like to start the process of being self sufficient, in the process, teach the twins about gardening and helping Nana in the garden. We do have a lemon tree and a couple of dwindling tomato vines. We have just put in some herbs to make cooking more flavourful. Its really still a work in progress and a learning thing as well.

My DD has resumed her studies to complete VCE. Also doing an Interior Design Diploma. She has gone back to work part time. The twins go into Daycare One day a week. Some days are better than others. They can certainly be a handful but i wouldn't change things for the world. I love all my family to bits.

My Health issues are still hanging around and i've had nothing but dissappointment with the Austin Hospital. Just been diagnosed with Diabetes, just to add to the collection. Hence i was advised to go onto a low GI Diet, pffttt well thats all good and fine but low GI isn't necessarily Low in Fat!!!!! Hmmm This was all too much so i've decided to go back to Weight Watchers for the ummteeth time :) I think this time i have to do it for me and my health, if i really do want to be around enjoying my grandchildren for many years to come. Of course i would also like to see my daughter grow into a beautiful young mother and enjoy seeing her raising her children.
