So much pain today

Today is Saturday and I am in so much pain, with my head and my back, Tim and I went to do a little bit of shopping this morning and he said we don't need a trolley and silly me agreed and what happened by the time we had pick up the few things we needed I could barely put one foot in front of the other.

Now to my head well I have had a headache pretty much from the time I woke up and it is not letting up even though I have taken so far this morning I have taken 2 Panadol Osteo and 4 Panadeine Forte tablets and I am still in a lot of pain so much pain that it hurts to move my head and I am now getting so tired due to the Panadeine Forte.

Of course with it being Saturday that means we have Leo for the night , but I have told Jessica that I will not go and get him, so she asked her dad to go and get him and he agreed. I hope Tim will be able to watch Leo for most of the night as I feel if the pain continues I think it will be in bed early in fact I am planning on going to have a lay down when I have done this post because I am finding it hard to concentrate.   

Siblings

We often here that sisters have a special bond and I don't doubt that I have 3 sisters myself and we are all close in different ways.

However I am now wondering do brothers have any type of bond, I have a brother but the relationship between a brother and sister is different than the one that is between siblings of the same gender.

Well that is my thought anyway, how about others do you think there is a different relationship between siblings of the same gender and siblings of different genders.

Also I think siblings who are raised in different homes have a different relationship to those who are raised in the same household.

Let's think of those who are step siblings do you think they can have just as a strong relationship as those who are of the same parents? Since I don't have an step siblings I have no idea about this one so I will leave that to those who do have them and have more of an idea.   

A broken tooth, grandchildren and a funeral

Good morning all, so far this morning I have done 2 loads of washing and vacuumed out and had some corn flakes for breakfast and managed to break my tooth, well I thought I had something caught in between my teeth but it turned out to be a bit of broken tooth. I rang the dental clinic and made an appointment but couldn't get in till the 19^th at 9.30am good thing I am not in too much pain at the moment.

Yesterday I got a phone call from Leo's school principal and she kind of went mad at me, why well because I forgot to give Leo his medication before school and he was all over the place. The teacher couldn't get him to sit still or do anything, after a couple of hours they realised he hadn't had his medication and gave it to him early. This was the second day in a row that I had forgotten his medication I will have to make a large sign and stick it to the door to remind me.

What else well I have a headache and I am hot and I just told Kathy to put the fan on because I am hot and oh yeah this house is full of people by that I mean at them moment I have my 4 girls and 2 granddaughters here along with Daemon of course and Tim is in his room hiding from everyone.

Kathy-Lee and Sydney-May are going to a funeral today, Sydney-May's father's mother's partner has passed away, why his mother asked Kathy-Lee to take Sydney-May to the funeral I don't know. Kathy-Lee feels a little strange going but she is too nice to say no. Even though it means a day off work for Kathy and honestly she needs the money and can't afford to take a day off work.

I have Summer as I often do on a Wednesday and she is walking everywhere now far more then crawling, words can not describe how much I love my grandchildren and even though it will annoy Sue I am coming to think of Daemon as one of my grandchildren. The longer they stay here the more I love having them here..............

Cyber Bullying

Hello everyone, I am feeling better today, although I am worn out and exhausted this afternoon and would love a nap but that isn't going to happen as we have Leo and Jessica here for the night so that means I am not going to have a good nights sleep as we will have Leo sleeping with us again tonight.

The other day I was talking to mum and she brought up the topic of cyber bullying, now why a 74 year old woman would decide to talk about cyber bullying is beyond me, the woman doesn't even use a computer.

She asked me why is it that when someone says they are being bullied on Facebook, they don't just shut it down and not bother going onto Facebook. I have to say I don't really know the answer to that question, because I agree if you are being bullied and on social media well just shut the page down or don't use it. Get another email address if needed and open up another account but use a different name or something so those who are picking on you and making life difficult can't find you.

I know that social media is oh so important now days, I do I have a Facebook account but hell it isn't the end of the world if you do not have it, even more so when you are a teenage who is being bullied and made to feel miserable.  

A Bit About Kelli

Good afternoon all well it is Sunday afternoon here and I can tell you I had a long morning, cooking yeah I did a baked lunch for the family out of my girls I had Kathy and Jess turn up for lunch with their kids even Michael came. I did baked veggies ie: potato, sweet potato, carrots, pumpkin, along with peas & corn and warm bread rolls. Did I feel like doing this today, no I didn't but I said I would so I did.

Yesterday was spent in bed, I got up a couple of times for an hour or so but mostly I was in bed sick, and I am still not feeling 100% today but I do not feel like I have the time to be sick today and of course we will have Leo for the night because well I am a big softie and said he could stay as long as papa is prepared to watch him when I go to be and I do think I will be going to bed early tonight and of course Kelli is here and she is such a big help with him.

We have had the starter motor replaced in the car, so fingers crossed it will now run ok and that is the end of the trouble with it.

Thankfully on Friday Kelli had Jono's car here and we where able to use that to go shopping, have to say it was nice having someone drive me around for a change.

Also this morning before Kathy & family arrived Kelli cleaned up the lounge room and dining room thank you for that Kelli, Aunty Jo does appreciate all the help you give me. Honestly I am going to miss it when you move out although I hope it will not be any time soon, because I like having you here.

Have I ever told you all about Kelli, I know I have mentioned her a lot here but have I really told you much about her, I think not.

So let's fix that, she is my niece the youngest daughter of my sister Sue, she is turning 20 this year in 12 days to be exact. She is the mother of Daemon who you all know turn 2 only a week ago. Kelli and I are so much alike in fact she is more like me then she is her own mother although when we were younger me and Sue were thought to be a lot alike. 

We both like the colour purple and caramel mud cakes, also fruit and nut chocolate just to name a few things 

I just asked Jessica for three words to describe Kelli, she chose caring, loving and short, and yeah they do describe Kelli she is in fact one of the most caring girls I know along with loving, short well we are all short in this family except for my brother David.

Anyway back to Kelli as I said we are so much alike and I feel a real connection with her I feel like I can tell her anything and I can rely on her to be there for me and to support me and to be honest with me. She is like my daughter more then my niece now days and I know this might annoy Sue but I don't think it should.

Oh yeah Kelli is so pretty as well but then again all my girls are pretty and like all my girls her beauty comes from inside. She has a boyfriend/partner that would be Jono for those who don't know Jono is not only Daemon's dad but Blain's dad as well and he is called dad by Leo even though he is not Leo's dad but this isn't about Jono so let's get back to Kelli. Kelli & Jono are unable to live together right now, he is living with his mum and his mum doesn't like Kelli, why I don't what is not to like. Oh yeah I know Kelli is a strong willed girl who speaks her mind and his mother doesn't like that and of course she is my niece and the woman doesn't like me for so strange reason, really what is not to like.............

More car troubles

Ok I got my car back today, driving home the steering felt a little heavy and I thought I will ask Tim about it and see how it went when I went to get Leo, can you see where this is going, yeah when I went to go and get Leo the car wouldn't start..............what the hell.....................I had to drive Jessica's car to get Leo and then come home and she jumped in the car and went back to her place.

So Tim gets home from work and I tell him I know you are stuffed, he was up at 2.30am to go to work and didn't get home till 4.45pm but the car won't start he is not happy, he went out and tried to start it and then decided to ring the NRMA who is here now looking at the car but I am expecting it to have to go back to Gaspower.

At least it didn't break down at Swansea but chose not to start when I went to leave to head there, for those who don't know Swansea is a good 20-25 minute drive from here and I have to make the trip to Swansea 3 or 4 days a week to take Leo to school and to pick him up from school.

I was watching Daemon since yesterday afternoon and has been so good but now his mum is home he has been a cranky little one mostly because he wants ice cream and we said no not till after tea. When I have him I have no problem putting him to bed at night or for down for a nap, in fact the last couple of times he has told me he wanted to go to bed and has slept all night in his own bed no problem. This morning I woke to a little hand touching me and a voice saying “Jo”.

At least at the moment Kelli has Jono's car for a while so if it doesn't start tomorrow we may have to take his car, which is not as good as my car but it will be better then taking the bus and taxi's.

Looks like it is the starter motor is stuffed, someone from the NRMA will be out later tonight to replace 

Not much to say today

Good evening yes it is late in the day be the time I get around to writing a post, but better late then never, right.

Anyway this evening it is just me and Daemon here, Kelli has gone over to Jessica's place with Jono for the night, they are having a poker night. Tim will be home but not till around 8pm and by then I hope Daemon is asleep.

This morning Kelli drove Leo to school then she went out shopping with Jono and her and Daemon didn't get home till 2pm so I was home alone for most of the day, she got home just in time for me to go and pick up Leo from school.

When I got home Kelli was cooking a leg of lamb and roast potatoes, have to say it was nice.

Tim rang around 4.40pm to tell me the car was ready and for me to go and get it, however, tea was nearly ready and I said it could wait till tomorrow, he was annoyed with me about it but he will get over it. He said the car isn't going to cost that much around $300 which is good.

Yesterday morning when mum and I went to see nan at the nursing home we found my aunt Pearla there because the nursing home rang to tell them that nan had a fall, how on earth a bed ridden woman has a fall. They said she had fallen out of bed because the bed rail wasn't up, however, she doesn't move the nurses have to move her onto her side or back to prevent bedsores. So I just don't get how she could have fallen out of bed, also she only had a few minor scratches and no bruises and she didn't break anything and nan is so frail I would had thought she would had broken something if she had fallen out of bed.

Well I don't have much to say today so I will end this here and see you all tomorrow.
