My turn for a winge...

Anyone that knows me, knows I dont winge... I just get on with it, smile and nod - always find the positive in every negative, I hold my head high and tackle life head on

bla bla bla ... well, not today!

I have been on an emotional roller coaster ride this past year and today it has put me in a flat horrible mood that I am struggling to get out of without winging

everyone needs a good winge sometime... well this is my sometime...

I had a wonderful start to the weekend with my kids, we spent so much quality time together, I LUV THAT, but geez am I suffering physically for it

see, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it doesnt like me having fun!

after being out and about for 3 days in a row, pushing myself to the very limits I am now buggered! i ache, i hurt, i cry, i am in pain

but... thats nothing new, thats nothing i cant handle, thats nothing that wasnt worth the fun we had even though the medication makes me sensitive to sunlight and sat down the beach for 5 hours with them....

yeah i am a red raw lobster that can hardly move still

i grimace everytime i do, but too embarrest to let anyone know how stupid i am

good thing its now cold and i can cover up!!!!

But this is nothing compared to the phone call I got on Tuesday!!!!

while sitting in the dental surgery with my beautiful daughter (while she was getting her braces fitted) my mobile starts dingling in my handbag!

the realestate - oh great!

this lovely young cheery voice on the other end delivers the news I DIDNT WANT

'sorry but we are increasing your rent'

oh holy cow NOOOOOOOO

yep, just like that, in a matter of 2 minutes my rent went up by a stupid rediculous outrageous

$100 A WEEK.....

where the..... am I, a single mother of 3 gonna find an extra $100 a week?????

)(*&^&%^%$#$@!@@#$%$%^&**(()))*((*&^%%$#$#@!@!^&*())

and I even said more than that - inside my head of course! i was sitting in a crowded waiting room!

and so now here i sit 2 days on still miserable, still flat, still shellshocked

but feeling awefully better now that I have had a winge!!!!

ok, time to get positive again.... deep breath - see the colour blue

inhale, exhale

Here's a couple of photos from Mondays beach trip

it was a gorgeous day, considering it has rained non stop since LOL

he went to Hillary's Boat Harbour, great place for kids/families

we sat on the grass while the kids went in every direction

they had a ball all day on the waterslides, trampalines, swimming, fishing, jumping off the jetty, crabbing, climbing the jungle mountain, building sandcastles, playing minigolf - all sorts!

took this pic 2 minutes after arriving

and this one 2 minutes before leaving! LOL

the sun was coming down and the beaches were still packed!

awesome day out - beautiful spot

if you are from Perth, you soooo gotta experience Hillarys or if you coming over, make this a stop you spend a day at, the shops, the resturants, the entertainment

the pub!!!

ohhhh the pub.... oh the memories in that pub! This was my Wednesday night haunt... hehehe

$2 shooters for the first hour and dont quite remember too much after that - dancing all night to the live band then walking home staggering down the road - oh the memories!!!

* oh to be young again *

ok, on that happier note I am going, gonna go make a cuppa

anyone wanna cuppa?

take care and behave yourselves

mwa mwa
