Well so far this year I am feeling pretty happy with my life do I have everything I want for the most part I would have to say I do and I am not talking about material possessions as those things are not the important things in life. What I do have is a loving family who take me for granted and get upset and pissed off when I can not drop everything to be with them or do something for them. 

I have a loving daughter who often makes me feel like a bank there are times when I feel that I hear from her the most when she wants money from me, I know that this isn't the case but it is how I often feel.

On how I feel well I feel like I want to jump on a train and just go somewhere anywhere away from people who expect things from me, somewhere I can really relax and not feel that the phone may ring at any given time from someone wanting something from me. Now don't get me wrong I do love being able to help my daughters and love being there for them but there is a part of me that feels run down and worn out. I would love to be able to go somewhere for a couple of days where I can just sit and read and yes Jessica I know I can read at home but the point is that I ofren do not as I always find something else to do instead of just read. I love reading as much as I love watching telly or blogging and pen paling yes I have a few hobbies and you know maybe that is why I never ever get bored I do not remember the last time I was bored..............

Hubby has said many times that he would like us to go on a holiday be when it comes right down to it he either doesn't want to take the time off work or doesn't want to spend the money on a holiday. My parents are going to Port Macquarie in Feburary for a few days I wish I could go with them and stay in a cabin on my own and be able to spend the days with my family and the nights alone but alas that isn't going to happen..........

So all in all the year has started off great and in general I am one happy woman..............

Christmas Time

It's that time of year again, Christmas time and how I love Christmas I love having some deocrations up and going around and seeing the Christmas lights on other people's homes as we do not put up Christmas lights mostly because hubby is just blah about Christmas he has never really been interested in Christmas mostly because when he was a child his father was not interested in Christmas although his mother was a lot more into it. He has always loved watching the girls open their presents when they were little and he loves it that Jessica and Leo spend Christmas Eve here so we get to see Leo opening his presents on Christmas morning.

I am lucky that I have such a large and close knit family to share it with and I come from a family where Christmas has always been a big deal when I was a child we always went to my grandparents place for Christmas lunch and there was always a large amount of people there as my nan also loved having all the family around on Christmas Day along with some friends who had no family to spend the day with. 

I have pretty much finished my Christmas shopping but as I love and I mean love to buy gifts for people it is not easy for me to know when enough is enough............................................lol
