Welcome Whisper
This is the newest member of the household. A little grey whisper :) She is 3 years old and is still negotiating the friendship with her adopted brother Tubby. I think they will get along fine eventually.

Changes
Time for a change :)
Things have been changing alot lately.
We said goodbye to a precious friend and family member - Smokey, much loved and will always be remembered. Came to us at 8 months old and left us at 2 1/2 in tragic circumstances.
My attitude to life and people around me has changed too. I don't see much of anyone, but value the times I do see them. My family is my life and I value them more than anything. :)
Work is going well. The responsibilities are being shared more around the office and it's good to know that they have the trust to be able to do that. There is alot of negativity and bad feelings about though. It makes it really hard some days. But I soldier on and try to not be involved or let it get to me.
Things are still going well with the naturopath. I am trying my hardest to stick to the cleansing and detox that she wants me to do. All very natural without potions. Some days it's easier than others :)
Looking forward to my Mum and Dad coming to visit during the school holidays :) Will be a great time.
That all from me now as I hear my bed calling me :)

Is this year flying???
I really can't believe we are nearly half way through the year already!!
Ok so the last post was a bit of a downer.... this one is full of positives and good feelings. It is so nice to feel like I am living again. :) crawling out of that hole... mind you there is still along way to go but I know I will keep have setbacks as long as I don't let them keep me back and after each one I move forward a little further than the last time. The naturopath put me on zinc, a supplement called muscle ease (vit b + magnesium and some other stuff.) also a strong multivitamin. This first rescue mission (as I will call it) was to boost my energy so that I have more steam to get me through every day. Well let me tell you that has been working. :) I have being doing a great amount of exercise :) ... shame that I can't control what I put in my mouth a little more though. I will work on that and I know in time I will get there too.
We went to the zoo on the Queen's birthday Public Holiday. A lovely day in the beautiful sunshine. We saw the seal show, the tortoise show and the tigers also. It was amazing watching the seal do his tricks. Clever boy he was. Even putting rubbish in the bin. :) The tigers are magnificent creatures. Watching them in their environment and how they react when the think there has been enemies on their territory is fascinating. I could have watched them all day very easily. The lions also put on a display for us. All of their own accord mind you. They are really royal creatures. The Tortoise was huge, but a little on the boring side. Too placid for me lol.
The kids have reached a point where Brad is finding his little sister rather annoying most of the time and lashing out at her. I am trying to teach him how to deal with it in a nicer way than swearing and hitting. hmmm Tough being the eldest. But she likes to antagonise him too, knowing he will get in trouble. She is gorgeous and thinks she will get away with things. I think she is going to learn the tough way. Hard being the youngest too I guess... We all have our own opinion depending whether we are the oldest youngest or middle child. Interesting dynamics here, Gareth is the youngest and I am the oldest in our families. Brad is so much like Gareth and Sian is so much like me in looks. But in attitude I think it's a little the other way around.
Brad goes on camp next term. For the first time he will be away from us for 2 nights. I am sure he will be fine. Not sure about me though :P
We all still have this naggy cold that just won't go away. more so just a cough now. But it's hanging on and on and on ... grrr.
I have been reading the Millennium series and am half way through the final book. I loved the first 2. Although the second was definitely my favourite. The first one too awhile for me to get into. The second was great right through. The 3rd I am struggling a little with at the moment, but I know it's going to get better. Persevere. I want to finish this because then I can read Eat Pray Love. I have heard this is a great book too.
Well that is me for now. Back to the Naturopath on the weekend. So I will see where I am going next on this healing journey. :)
