I have been trying to get back and type up another blog but this week has been hard to say the least. I have had a very chaotic week. Jay went away to Maryjig to work. I had my first week alone and as a pretend single parent. I single handily organised a 1 st birthday party with a little help from my Mum and Dad. Yes it's been chaotic!!!!!!!!!!
I have however enjoyed having some solitude in my life at night time. It has given me the opportunity to enjoy sewing and reading. I have had the pleasure of my sisters company some nights and also some of my close buddies dropping by for pizza and a chat.I had the pleasure of seeing Missy Higgins at Rod Laver Arena last week. I had yet another amazing experience. (I have seen her before at the Palais in St Kilda!) Anyone who is a long time fan knows of her as an unearthed winner on Triple J some years ago. I have followed her music career closely as I am/was in some rights a singer and find her to be a really good vocal range to sing along to. I also think her songs are a very close extraction of my emotions and life experiences, through my personal interpretation of course. Missy is a legend, a down to earth girl who is real and a great role model for so many girls growing into young women.Love you Missy!!!!!!!!!
I have taken time to reflect on my life this last week and am finding it hard to know what to plan for next year. I should know however not to plan too much and not to count my chickens before they hatch! With Jay away I have to postpone a lot of my selfish yet redeemable conquests. I would like to go back and study next year. I had planned to study at NMIT, a great course entitled "Professional writing and editing." It is an intense course that allows me to come away with lots of great qualifications and explores such things as play writing, editing, poetry,novel writing and many other interesting subjects.I could then follow it on to my dream of being a journalist. As a lot of things are going on right now I will have to see if maybe I can apply late and start half way next year. We will see!
The veggie garden is thriving and providing us with some great produce. I have made zucchini slice that had a flavour that only organic produce can provide. The kids are really enjoying the benefits of seeing it all grow. Jaxon is continually racing across the yard to see what he can pick for mummy today!
Kaya's party was an absolute cracker. It was a lot of fun for everyone. I can honestly say that it went extremely well. Food went down well. People were enjoying themselves and most importantly Kaya had a ball. I tell you this kid was in his element. Food, food and more food. He loved the cake. The birthday song was a hit with him. He looked at everyone with this huge smile and was just wondering why everyone was singing to him. He just kept grinning and giggling. I was wrapped!
So this week I am going to take it slowly. Spend some time making some soulful Xmas yummies. Maybe do some sewing. Thursday is Kaya's birthday so we plan to spend it at the St Andrews Twilight market with some great close friends. I will spend the week further reflecting life and take some time to reflect on what has been and what is to come.
