Catch up in two minutes

Like I wrote last time, I'm pretty slack once I lose interest in something - so I'll give a roundup of what's been happening, and then try to get back into the habit of putting in an entry once a week:-

* GWA (Girls Weekend Away) at Minchilbill Hill - lots of laughs, food and taffeta, catching up with the girls from Jimboomba. If you have a facebook account you can be my friend and look at the photos - they're pretty hideous, but we know we all looked gorgeous!!! LOL

* Swimming lessons have started at school - Hayden has his cap and goggles, and can concentrate long enough to only get told off by the instructor once a minute as opposed to three or four times!

* Hayden is off of his trainer wheels - he and Thomas spent some time with their Nan & Pop in beautiful Hervey Bay, and when he came back he was sans wheels!!!!

* Thomas is still as cute as a button, and as stubborn as a mule!!! Hopefully when he turns four in another 6 months I'll feel less like choking him and more like hugging him!!!! (Please don't call DOCS!!!!)

* Mark has been and returned from Japan - was a great introductory trip for him, and we got very spoilt upon his return with costumes, calligraphy kits and sweets. He's in Tonga now and we are looking forward to holidays

* Holidays in Darwin - one whole week out of the house. No plans apart from watching the jumping crocodiles!!! The rest of the time will be sipping cocktails by the pool!!!! Can't wait, we haven't had a whole week's holidays in over 3 years!!! BLISS!!!!

That's all I can think of for now - I PROMISE my blogs will be much more exciting and worth a read soon!!!!!

Lazy days

Thomas among the cushions, so of these I have made myself!!!

Sorry I haven't been updating as much - that's just the kind of girl I am...................I look at a new project with much gusto, and I put all of my energy into it for a long time.................then, for some reason or another (and it's not through lack of wanting,) I just start to lose interest. There are so many projects around our house that are half done, and I get very dismayed when I look around sometimes. I find that I take so much on, but I don't usually get much finished.

Well that just means that I have to stop taking on new tasks. I have my 'scanner planner' book to document my hopes, dreams and ideas, so maybe I should pull that out of the dusty drawer and start writing in there again.

When I have an idea I attack it and am obsessed with this new thought and possibility, but then - when I'm half way to completion - I either tell myself that it'll never turn out like I expected, or maybe I tell myself that it's not worth putting in so much effort, and it lays around, half done.

Maybe I need to read that book again by Barbara Sher - she talks of people who are more in love with the idea of things, then actually doing the tasks - and try and look deeper for the meaning.

You should see the pile of half read books on my bedside table - there are 9 - and I am not kidding when I say that!!! My craft nook has boxes of 'projects on the go', that I never quite get around to finishing. I seem to get dissilusioned or something, like I don't deserve the praise if it's done, or something crazy like that.

This is obviously something that I need to go and research..................I hear there's a great book at the library that I could read and look into!!!!!

hopeless, aren't I!?!!!
