The Mind Won't Rest

At this point in my life I wish ………………………
(I am cheating a little with these first ones and have pinched them from Moi hope you don't mind Moi, but I agree with them so much I just had to :P )

that I could have more time in each day;

that I could have more sleep;

that I could keep house better;

that I could be more organised;

that I spent more time being in touch with friends and family;

that I could eat better, exercise more and lose weight;

that I had more elastin in my skin;

that I didn’t feel so guilty and inadequate about everything;

and I will add

that I lived closer to my parents

that I got to spend more time with Gareth

that I actually felt like my old self a bit more

that I was a better mum

that I was not worrying about money quite so much and learning to live for the day a little more.

that I was able to fly Gareth's best mate and his family here for a visit or better yet that we could fly over there, so that we could not only catch up with Brian, but then my 2 babes could meet their Uncle,Aunt and cousins.

I could go on for ages probably. I only really have 1 regret in my life, but from that came an angel and a lesson, so I guess I wouldn't change that, but there are a few things now that I would alter a little if I could :)

Little Scrapbook Shop Cyber Crop
This is my LO that I won a prize for :)

This is the 1st 8 1/2 x 11 that I have done for ages and I love it :)

LC's Creative Scrapbooking Cyber Crop
This one was done for a white, black & lime green (60:40:10 challenge)

And this one was a step by step challenge, they are quite fun as you really don't know what is coming next... although I am not sure how much I like this ... might have to try and hide the title now that the challenge is over LOL

I found this on Ngaire Bartlam's blog and thought I would share

The 2006 Ultimate Scrapbooking Raffle in Aid of Breast Cancer Research.

I believe there are alot of awesome prizes up for grabs and the tickets are $10 each.
I have lost too many friends to the Breast cancer so research into the cure/prevention is something I strongly support.

For Moi ... LOL Just kidding... it is about time I updated...
especially now as I AM GOING TO THE MELBOURNE CONCERT!!!!!!
I am soooo happy about this!!

Things have been a mixture of good and bad here.... The good see above :D
The not so good... We had a really rough time with Brad at the dentist and ended up leaving with a half drilled tooth that didn't get filled :( Brad was so traumatised and he refused to open his mouth at all by the end so the tooth didn't finish getting drilled and then also didn't get filled.... so we headed off to see a paediatric dentist (who Brad loves) and she got him to open his mouth so she could look. She has recommended that he go under general anesthetic to have all cavities etc fixed at once. But it is going to cost (worst case scenario) $2500 ... we are waiting on the letter now to find out the exact costs. Barbara (dentist) explained that Brad will have 6 adult teeth missing,(never formed in gums, no idea why) so they are trying to preserve his baby teeth as much as possible so that he can carry them as late into life as possible. So for the forseeable future Brad will be seeing a specialist for his teeth. But oh well, I would prefer this than the trauma of saturday over and over again.

I have been to the hairdresser tonight and must say I am mighty pleased with my new colour.... Gareth says it makes me look younger :D (a few brownie points for him there)
AND ..... I won a prize for a challenge that I took part in at the Little scrapbook shop I am stoked... can't believe it... the prize is an Alison Ellis Design kit... I can't wait to see it.
(blogger is playing up and I can't upload images at the moment so will do another time)

My friend and I are meeting up with some Melbourne girls from
The Craft Attic on Saturday so that should be loads of fun ..... and we get to shop at a different Scrap Shop :D to normal.

PS. Rach... I think you will get all the details from the concert, because I probably won't shut up about it for a month afterwards LOL (just kiddin')

I'm going to Robbie Concert!! After yesterday and being so disappointed about not getting tickets I thought today I might give Adelaide a go and travel over to visit mum & dad at the same time.
I got tickets and I am sooooo excited. I'm like the kid in the backseat LOL Are we there yet? Is it time yet?
I feel a bit of a dill that I was so upset yesterday, but I guess in my defence, it was high on my list of things that I really want to do.
If there is another Melbourne concert I will try for tickets over here again and if I manage to get some I will sell the Adelaide ones, (at cost price)
The scalpers have really made me angry. I guess that is the way that life goes, but I still think it is really wrong!
Oh well of my high horse LOL
I'm going to see Robbie Williams in concert FINALLY!!

I missed out on tickets :(
sigh - oh well, it just wasn't meant to be.
At least I saw Brian Adams last year LOL :)

I got my test results back from the doc today and they are all back to normal, woo hoo :)
I have started to do a powerbar class at the gym on a Thursday to mix things up a bit
and it's great. The girls are really friendly which I think helps :)

Well tomorrow is the big day, I am praying that I get some good tickets :) I will be stuck to this computer like glue until I have 2 Robbie Williams concert tickets or they are sold out. I am praying that it's the former not the latter. I was kidding myself for awhile saying I wouldn't care that much if I don't get to go. Ummmm 'yeah right' I will be devastated if I miss out. This is the 3rd concert of his I will have the chance to go to. 1st time in Manchester, we didn't go as we were flying back to Aus. 2nd I said ... no can't afford it (I kicked myself over and over for the rest of the year) this time I went.... I AM GOING.... but then a week ago finances looked like I would once again miss out! :( But a gorgeous hubby a line of credit and an ATM fixed that and now the last hurdle to get over. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I had a totally relaxing weekend. did next to nothing, watched a whole season of Scrubs LOL - read my book, spent time with the kids. DH took Brad out for a ride on his bike on sunday and then later took Brad & Sian out for a walk. It was so peaceful. I was in bed by 1030 every night. I am trying to catch on some sleep. I still feel like I need more, but alot better than I was :)
Brad is already asking when Nana & Grandad are coming to stay! They are not coming until August, so it is going to be a long 8 weeks for my little man.
