Just a Joke

Of course I won't laugh,'' said the nurse. ''I'm a professional. In over

twenty years I've never laughed at a patient.''

''Okay then,'' said Fred, and he proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing

... the tiniest penis the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it

couldn't have been bigger than an AAA battery. 

Unable to control herself,... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... the nurse started giggling, then fell to the floor laughing.

Ten minutes later she was able to struggle to her feet and regain her

composure.

''I am so sorry,'' she said. ''I don't know what came over me. On my honour

as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won't happen again.

Now, tell me,

what seems to be the problem?''

…''It's swollen,'' Fred replied.

She ran out of the room.

Something mum taught me.............

My Mum has always taught us that it doesn’t matter how old your kids are they can be 1yrs old or 40yrs old your kids come first, so why do some people put their selves or partners before their kids. I just do not get it. This pisses me off more when the kids are little and their parents just slack off I don’t care if you’re tired and need sleep if your kids want you get up out of bed n help them... Or if you’re hungry n the kids are too feed them.

Kids need to be self-efficient at some point but when a child needs their mum or dad that parent should be there for them to listen and not judge to offer advice but to understand if that advice is not taken. To never say "I told you so" only to think it......... to give hugs and a shoulder to cry on. To give them the food out of your mouth and the clothes off your back if it needs to be done, yes we can have our own lives but when needed our kids come first..........

Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion and yes maybe in some ways my girls would take advantage of me when they were younger but now they are all grown and mothers themself, two out of three are single mothers and doing wonderful jobs raising my grandchildren, two out of three are also working mothers and all three take responsibility for their actions and mistakes but all three know that both me and hubby are here for them whenever they need us. 

They all also know that we except that they will make mistakes in their lives them and screw up from time to time but we will never hold it against them. We have raised three very strong independent girls. I hope I have also instilled in them that being a mother is a job you take on for life, and that there is never an age you say to your kids your grown sink or swim............what you do say is your grown sink or swim but if you are truly drowning I will throw you a life rope and come to your rescue.......

Sunday Lunch for Kirsty

Today we went over to my parents place for Sunday lunch we had roast beef and roast lamb with mash and vegies it was of course yummy followed by pink laminton cake for desert.  The main reason for todays lunch was because my niece Kirsty was down she lives in Queensland and we do not see her very often and in February she is moving to the Philippines and at this stage she has no idea for how long. Thankfully we will see her again at Christmas.

My dad isn't in the above photo and neither is Dawson but they both were at lunch I do not know why dad didn't get into the photo he just sat back and watched it being done. This is dad and Kirsty.

This of course is me and Kirsty and the photo below is of Kirsty and her mother.

Weightloss

On Thursday morning I went to see my GP just to ask for a script for my tablets I take for my reflax anyway the point is when I was there he checked my blood pressure and it's good and then he weighed me on the scales he had in the surgery and it showed I had lost 10 kilos or for those who are use to pounds 22pounds since May and he thought that was wrong so he took me out and weighed me on the other scales and yes I had lost 10 kilos so I came home feeling good about myself, I knew I had lost weight and no I have not really been trying I just have.

So here are a couple of photos of my taken on Friday.....................

27 Years and counting

Today marks 27 years of wedded bliss for me and hubby and for the most part they have been 27 good years yes we have had a problems but nothing serious and I can honestly say I am still in love with him after all these years.........

The weeks leading up to our wedding the weather was beauitful and on the day just after we got inside the church it started to rain and was still raining when we left the church so we didn't go anywhere to have photos taken we made do with having some taken in the church hall.Which is also where we had our reception. 

We don't have any plans for the night a few months ago we talked about going out for dinner but since it is just me and Tim here now I know he will not want to do so, I will ask him but I already know the answer......................

What I didn't notice

On the 6th June 1989 I gave birth to my beautiful youngest daughter Jessica she was so perfect and beautiful I remember clearly looking at her little hands and counting her fingers and then looking at her feet and counting her toes.............

She was born at 3.50am after only 2 hours of labour and not long after she was born I fell asleep. So around 7am I went to the nursery to see her yes back then they still took the baby to a nursery while mum slept after the birth.

Any as I walk into the nursery one of the nurse says to me that the doctor wanted to talk to me about her arm................and I thought "what about her arm" I was stumped I had no idea at all what they were on about. I go to pick my baby up and the doctor is already with her when he saw me he says "good I just wanted to talk to you about her arm" then he points to her birthmark and tells me he doesn't think it is anything to worry about but he would like me to take her to see him again in a months time and I say "ok"

After he walked away I look at Jessica and think to myself how did I not see that this is a picture of her birthmark and honestly I never noticed it when she was first born, when Tim came into to see us a couple of hours later I asked him if he had noticed it and yes he had and I said to him why didn't you say something and he said "I didn't think I had to"
