No Emails & the feeling of a crowded house....

What a couple of days still can't get any emails which is really starting to become annoying, anyway last night we had Jes & Leo here for the night and of course they were here yesterday when I got home from shopping and all day today in fact I have to watch Leo while Jes goes out to sit for her drivers authority (DA) she needs this in order to drive passenger cars but not Taxis to drive a cab you need a special Taxi Licence. I have no idea how long she will be gone Tim said the test takes between 4 & 5 hours but I hope when she finishes she comes back she just picks Leo up and goes home. I love Leo but would like to have some room to move in my bed, Leo takes up a lot of room for a small boy…………lol

I am half expecting my other daughter Natasha to ask if Blain can stay tonight and if she does I have no idea what I will say as I hate to say no to Blain but at times I just don’t feel like having a child here three nights in a row even if  it is not the same child. 

Tim is at work today and again tomorrow so tomorrow I am hoping to have the day home alone, it has just felt crowded here with Jes and Leo here most of Thursday and Friday and again today Saturday. 

Here is a question for you when you are used to having a quite house do you find after a few hours do your visitors start to annoy you and you look forward to them leaving and having a quiet house again. I know I do and so do my parents they love having all the family over but love it just as much when we all leave and go home………….lol

No Emails and a New Telly

For some bloody reason I have not be able to check my emails yesterday and again today so I am now waiting in the cue for some dill for tech support to answer the phone and help me get it sorted out, I keep getting this stupid message:

An error occurred during a connection to mail.bigpond.com:995.
You have received an invalid certificate.  Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority.  Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)

What the hell it was fine on Monday, I would had rang tech support yesterday but I was in and out of the house a fair bit and didn't have the time to sit in a cue for who knows how long waiting for some dill to answer.

Ok after waiting for over half an hour they answered and the guy says I have to transfer you to someone else who can help you then I get music followed by nothing then more music and I am stuck waiting again.........

Ok I get someone woman/dill who tries this and that and in the end did nothing she hang up on me........why.........well I think it was because she had no answer and didn't know what to do so just hang up and let me ring back and get someone else.............lol Which I did the second woman told me that the problem is with Bigpond and there is nothing I can do from my end to fix it and all she could suggest is try checking it periodiclly and at some point the problem she be fixed and I will get my emails................so bloody helpful.................lol

Anyway no emails mean I didn't check in with a lot of blogs yesterday or this morning oh well such is life and hopefully this problem will not last long.........and I can still do other things online

Oh yeah I was going to show you a photo of my new tell..............so here it is...................it's a 47" 3D set and yeah I know I said I didn't want a 3D set but hubby did so I agreed it didn't cost that much more to get the 3D set then it would have to get a normal set and we had the money.

Radom Stuff

Today's post is just a bunch of random stuff that has come to mind lets start with my brother in-law Ed he has been complaining about taking his medication for his eplipsey in fact he has not been taking his medication and on Wednesday he had another seizure so he has been off work for a few days and Sandra has been at him again telling him he has to take his mediactation every day. Being a man I am not surprised that he decided after he started to feel better and the seizures had stopped that he thought I am all good now so no longer need the medication.

One of my daughters Natasha is awesome at taking her own photo unlike me I suck at it as you can tell by the photo I tried to take of myself on Friday and how it turned out. On Thursday night I decided I would wear my tights a black skirt and my purple/pink top with the flowers on it. However Friday rolls around and I put on a new pair of support undies and tights on but after about 10 minutes my undies are cutting into my leg and tights have made me feel hot so off with those on with normal undies and instead of tights I pull on my leggings which is why I ended up wearing the orange dress/top instead of the planned outfit.

Some days it takes me longer to get dressed becuase what I planned to wear doesn't look right or feel right or it is hotter then I thought or colder then I thought it would be so I have to change my mind and wear something different.

Condiments you know for a long time I didn't even know what that word meant, anyway are you at tomtitty sauce person or a bbq sauce person or maybe you are a mayo person, for a very long time like up until the last year I was always a tomtitty sauce person yeah it always had to be tomato sauce never bbq sauce and I have like mayo on chicken sandwitches for a long time but during the last year I  have discovered I no longer turn my nose up at bbq sauce in fact now when I order pizza I get the bbq sauce over the tomato sauce why well the tomato sauce always tastes to hot and spicy for me now.

Summer's tests and shopping

Yesterday felt longer then it was and today well I have hardly had a chance to stop until now, any the reason I didn't post anything yesterday was because around 2pm when I was getting ready to write a post Jessica turned up with Leo and of course we had Leo last night.

Ok yesterday morning I went to Charlie (Charlestown Square) to meet the family for breakfast, after breakie me and Kathy had to leave and head over to the John Hunter Hospital for Summer's appointments. She had to have her hips checked and then her hearing, As like her mother she was born with a clicky hip and like her mum it is her right hip that is clinking, anyway they checked her hips and said they both feel staple. However she has to have an ultrasound of her hips to double check that it is all good, and her hearing is good.

Here is a photo of her getting her hearing tested, she passed no problem.

This morning I went and did my weekly shopping then this afternoon Tim and I went and bought a new tv. We also had Blain wanting to stay the night but Tim doesn't want to have him over and have told him that he can stay next Saturday night instead.

I will post more about the new telly tomorrow or Monday we are yet to unpack it and tackle setting it up................

I did it again.............put my foot in it

I did a bad thing, what did I do............well I wrote a blog post about Jessica and Leo and the problems we have been having with him. I forgot that Jessica didn't want me to blog about her and Leo, so this afternoon she rings me in a mood because of it she said her piece I said I forgot and sorry. She is still annoyed with me but as I said to her in a text message all I can do is say sorry I can't undo it.

This isn't the first time I have put my foot in it while blogging and I doubt it will be the last time I put my foot in it while blogging.....................lol This is me and I have a terrible memory at times and make promises and then forget I have done so, what's a woman to do............

Of course Jessica rang just after I jumped in the bath I thought I would have one before Tim got home from work, and before my mum rings me. She usually rings me around 6.10pm doesn't matter that we saw each other this morning it is just something she does, the phone rings around that time and hubby will say "it's mum" without even looking at the phone. Anyway I was saying Jessica rang me just after I jumped in the bath so I had to get out dripping wet to ring her back, why because she will just keep ringing to I answer the damn phone.

The funny thing is she didn't even read the blog she only knew about it via someone else mentioning something that was on it.............oh well such is life....................

Wits End

What does a parent do when they feel like they have failed their child, if your child feels like they have failed and come to you crying and upset does that make you feel like you are failing because there is nothing you can do to help your child help their child...........

This is how I have been feeling today about my daughter Jessica and her son Leo, as some of you may know Leo started school this year and after his second day they reduced his hours to only 2hrs of a morning and even since doing that he has been sent home a couple of times for not liseten or throwing funiture or as happened one morning for kicking a teacher. That was when they reduced his hours.

Jessica feels like he never listens, never does what he is told, never eats anything she prepares for him unless she yells and screams and goes off her head at him. She feels like he doesn't try or try to try he just says I can't or I don't want to and then tunes out until she yells at him.

She feels like no one wants to be around him except his grandparents and her and there are times she doesn't want to be around him. Her sisters always say he is to hard to handle and don't want to watch him for her not even for a short period of time.

She feels like the school have given up on him and just send him home because it is the easy option and have said nothing to her about extending his hours at school.

I just don't know what to say to her when she is a mood and distressed over his behaviour I have tried telling her that yelling will not help in the long run but she just gets angry with me and says nothing else works................I have tried to tell her there are no quick fixes it will all take time but as I said she just gets angry with me. I know she doesn't mean to be angry with me she is just frustrated and at her wits end. I have also tried to tell her that I think getting angry and yelling is teaching him to get angry and yell but she says nothing else works and I don't know what to say to her............

While they were here today I  had to go mad at him for going and gettting a small bottle of Coke without asking, I am tying to get him to ask first but there are times when he doesn't and what did Jessica say.............."see he does whatever he wants" and yes he does but even though I was mad with him I didn't yell I spoke firmly and told him he knows he has to ask. His logic is that if he had asked the answer would be NO so he didn't ask............

Wet and in a Mood.............Yeah that is how I am have been

As many of you will notice I haven't posted in a couple of days, why is this...........well I have been either busy or not in the mood when I have a grandchild wanting my attention all the time it is hard to feel like writing anything mostly it is difficult to concerntraite. I keep getting distracted.

 
Anyway since Thursday night it has been pissing down rain here and yesterday when we ( hubby, me & Blain) went to Salamanda Bay which is an hour and half from here we saw lots of areas that were flooded. We went to look at a Sprinter which is a camper van it looks like this

You know the saying "someone got out of bed on the wrong side" well that was me yesterday I woke up in a mood and every little thing seemed to piss me off heaps...............my mood did improve a bit as the day went on but only a bit..............lol

This morning I am in a better mood thankfully, as I do not like it when I am in a foul mood and can't seem to stop myself snapping at people. Friday night we had Blain here and last night I had Leo and tonight it looks like we will have both Jessica & Leo..................
'As I may have mentioned I have been without a car since Tim took the exhaust pipes off his bike to be rechromed well he was suppose to pick them up on Friday but guess what it is going to be another week before he gets them so I am without of car for another week it is just so bloody annoying............

Today I am off to the Newcastle Show with Jessica and we will not be taking Leo since he is such a handful and his mother doesn't want to take him. Well that is the plan in fact after I post this I will have to go in and get dressed, anyway as I was saying we are planning to leave Leo with Papa while we are gone as we will only be gone a couple of hours and should be home before he has to go to work................
