Today is the last day I will be working at curves. I am at work now and no-one is here. Why would you be. Its cold, dark and very lonely here this morning.
But as they say all things happen for a reason. We have been offered work in a neighboring curves but I have decided not to go. Its just that little to far to travel and I really like being home. I still have my job at crystal world so I will be happy with just that.
I will just have to extract the digit and get back on my treadmill.

Back to the 50's
On 60 minutes last night they had a story of how more and more women were opting to quite work and become 50's housewives.
As a mother who made the decision to quite work and stay at home to raise my children this did not seem like such a big deal.
What is the big deal is that, these women were saying that since the husband "worked" all day it was here responsibility to look after him and pamper him as he paid all the bills.
This is where I got upset. I do look after my husband, he works hard and is a good provider for our family and he always has been. But! I work very hard in the home too.
As for him paying all the bills, yes he earns the money but I budget and make a little go a long way.
Its the homemaker that can make or break a budget, and no matter how much or little money you have, even if you spend just $10.00 more than you have coming in you will be in big trouble at the end of the year.
That $10.00 a week you send on credit will add up to over $500.00 a year in debt!
So for all the women, and men, who stay at home think of your budgeting skills as money saved is money earned.
So how much can you earn this week.

Quiet Sunday Mornings
Last night we had my best friends 40th birthday party. She was the one with the ovarian cancer and at one stage we thought we would not get here. But she is healthy and happy and even has enough hair to go to the hairdressers.
So this morning I am a little slow to start, but have made quite an impact on the things to do list.
Already have cleaned the kitchen, but a load of washing on the line, and taken all the rubbish out. Have you seen the episode of the simpsons were no one take the rubbish out and the family resorts to using a stapler to staple the rubbish to the side of the bin, well that's my family.
I did not take the rubbish out yesterday, so today we had lots.
I have now decided to put the stapler on the kitchen bench just to make life easier for the little darlings as the obviously do not have enough strength to lift such heavy loads as one bag of rubbish. Any who, must shower and wash makeup off face, I'm sure I look like a panda.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone

Credit Crunch
The credit crisis has hit the gym I work at and it will close its doors on the 19th of this month. So I am out of a job.
On one hand its bad because I will miss the money, who wouldn't?. But on the other, its more time at home, were its warm and cosy.
I still have my one day a week at Crystal world so I still get a little pocket money to spend on myself.
More quilting materials perhaps?
So it will be a sad day when we close the doors forever, so now I have to motivate myself to go walking to try and keep the kilos I have lost away.
If I get chubby again I will not be happy.
So I promise to you all I will keep exercising. I never break my promise to other people, only to myself.
Off to work in crystal world were we have run out of firewood and it will be cold, but hay, you burn more calories in winter trying to keep warm.
So that's another positive.

Winter is here,best time of year!
Yes folks winter is here, with a vengeance.
Its bitterly cold, and wet and windy.
Yesterday dear old hubby and I cut up and split lots of wood, so the fire is roaring.
And the best part is I don't have to be anywhere special today so I can just sit inside and do what ever I want.
I think I will bake some bread, Yummo.
Hot fresh from the oven bread with lots of butter.
Stay warm everyone.

Its all about boobs,cars and ganglias.
Yesterday we had another visit to the breast specialist and the lump in baby girls breast has grown even bigger.
So even though it is not cancer, she is booked in on the 22nd of this month and will have it taken out.
She is a very stressed and worried little girl.
Add to this her driving test on Monday, which she failed because she went through a red arrow, and a scan on her wrist , because of a ganglia.
She is really having a bad time at the moment.
So the ganglia has disappeared on its own, the driving test has been re-booked, and the operation is not to far away. So she cant spend months worrying about it.
Not much more we can do but wait.
I'm sure all will be OK.

I'm still here!
Yes I am still here, and I haven't fallen off the perch so to speak. I have just been in a melancholic kind of place. So I have found it hard to blog.
I have been visiting others and find that they too have been blogging less often. And the blogs that have been updated have been in the same place as me.
Is it the weather? Is it the solstice about to come? Lack of sunlight maybe?
who knows!
So I will leave you with these thoughts as I get myself into gear and tidy up before I go to my quilting class.
Even that has become an effort.
And even though I live in Victoria we are still swine flu free, so you can read this blog safely.
