Very sad.

Evening All,

Well, my afternoon and evening has been spent looking after son. His temperature was up at 40.5 degrees this arvo and he's been vomitting, so we ended up calling out the doctor. The doctor has said he can't find anything wrong, so it must be a viral infection. I think I may be in for a disturbed night, alternating Nurofen and Paracetamol.

I am so relieved I'm not drinking OR smoking this evening. Just Nicorette and lemonade in this house tonight.

Sorry CW, I sure do hear you on the being sober and there for your son.


Hi Reginald.

Reggie dear, there's no point in losing sleep over the competition. Some things in life suck. Simple as that. Some people who have never lifted a finger in their life to do something will inherit vasts amount of money and others who have slaved for years and years end up losing everything within minutes to some natural disaster such as hurricanes or earthquakes. Some things are just not fair. Find a good book, go listen to some of that music you love and keep your mind on the positive things in life. Starting with that sweet darling girl of yours sleeping in her lovely safe home that her Daddy and Mom provide for her. Off you go to the music lounge....:huggy

And the next time you want to whip up a treat, try escargot in garlic butter...

For crying out loud... they recognise 'elder abuse' these days.. what about the kind where
kids abuse their single mother??? whatcha call that eh?

I know so many single parents with teenagers that are spitting pure poison, using their mums as punching bags and driving them over the edge. The parents feel so guilty and ashamed over their kid's behaviour... that they must be such a bad parent that they can't talk to anyone... until it's too late and they're checking into a friggin mental hospital.

Ficks, I am so grateful that my kids are NOT like that. But ya know its not just single parents who cop this hideous stuff!!! My sister has three daughters who look like botecelli angels but they spew poison and a pathological sense of entitlement to their parents every day!!! They have been given the best of everything, have not one iota of gratitude and even though they are my necies, I find it very difficult to be around them without thinking about ways to string them up!!! My sister has this sense of powerlessness over the situation and deals with it by saying things like "all the kids are like that these days". But that is not true!!! It certainly is harder for single parents unless they set up some pretty stiff boundaries right from the word go. And then stick to them. I hope your friend gets back on top of the situation soon, has she sought out professional help?

Been there, done that, got the Tshirt.
That's when my alcoholism escalated out of sight. How are you supposed to physically fight back when it's a 12 year old in your care ? This wasn't the boy by the way, another child. But it was ten years of pure hell.


So here I am posting away last night, grateful to be having a bit of a vent with you all to be perfectly honest, a bit down lately...........a huge crash, and of course the boy was retrieving something precious from a high place, with a computer chair with wheels on it......

Oh but I DO love a late trip to Cas on Sunday night.....

Just a sprain....but a man sprain



Oh yes, good morning.....

Hello Undies,
Sorry, been away a couple of days.
And raining non stop all weekend and last night and still it is coming down. Just hope there's no slip on the escarpment, though if there is we shoild be OK. Now why am I thinking unpleasant thoughts like that?

Have just been going back over the last couple of days' posts to catch up.

Reggie, console yourself that the kid has to be a bit of a sad case if he has to resort to digging up a snail for a pet rather than having a chummy little hermit crab or a doggy.

Mr Rags has just rung. He's closed early and is on his way home and it's taken him over an hour to go 10 kilometres. He's stuck in traffic trying to dodge closed and flooded roads. The freeway is cut off in several places which makes matters worse. There's flooding everywhere.

Anyway, on we go with the trip pics. Not all that many to go now.

So, we land at Kelowna and get a cab to the hotel as it unbeleivably is cheaper than the shuttle bus. And how much did the cab cost??/ Bloody $48.00 Unbelievable! But, the shuttle bus costs $32.00 each! Shafted, whichever way you go.
Anyway, we get to the hotel and the Teddies immediately set themselves up to watch ice hockey on TV. They've become great fans of this fast rough and tumble sport.




Next morning we wake up to a rather chilly morning. Minus 15 degrees. Farenheit.




Some great ice patterns on the window though



So, down to breakfast we go, expecting to see a human being so we could order a hot breakfast, but no-one in sight. There was however, wait for it............. FROZEN OMELETTES!!! Which you put in a microwave to reheat.





They were right next to the fridge full of last night's boiled eggs.....






Which were alongside the do it yourself waffle maker with pre mixed gloop in little tubs, with choc bits on the side.

Having got a cab back to the airport (driven by a one armed turbaned Hindi) we get the shuttle to the snowfields, passing on our way a used car lot that had probably 300 or more Winebagos and HUGE motorhomes in it! Didn't get a photo of it. there's got to be more Winebagos in that one car lot than in the whole of Australia! The road left the lake below as we started up to the ski areas.





And we arrive!!





Our 1 bedroom unbit is beaut. But a bit lacking in cooking utensils such as a decent size fry pan.






But the view is good....





We do some shopping where blueberries are $4.99 for 500 grams! And strawberries $3.99 for 500 grams!

But gee I'm glad I brought along the vegemite.

Thats for sure Bridge, i had a dreadful situation about 18 months go. Rowan tried to take his own life, the hospital called me in the middle of the night and I was so smashed, I could hardly make sense of the conversation, let alone be there with him. I woke up the next morning wondering if it was a nightmare or real. It was in fact both. Thank dog for sobriety eh:h
