1st Feb!! already!!
Brad started kinder this week and they are easing in over the next few weeks, questions *far out* I thought he asked alot last year... I got to the point where I had to ask him to sit in the lounge and not talk to me for 5 minutes while I had a breather (btw it didn't work) so all morning (kinder was afternoon) all the way to Sian's swimming lesson, all during her lesson, all the way to kinder and right up to when he sat on the mat. I was feeling rather worn out by then! I know he is curious and it's his way of learning but *arrrgggghhh* hehe
got an internet bill this morning **shock** $300 - my DH (who I am a little >:o at right now) went 2gb over our limit and that cost us over $300!!! But I am really unimpressed at Telstra at the moment any way.... an in another 'ironic' type situation last night we signed up with optus for cable BB and phone so were leaving Telstra anyway (in the planning for quite some time)
This week I finally decided time to start moving forward. I contacted the Lilydale cemetary and have the information on having Dylan's ashes put in the children's garden there. I also have the meeting date for SANDS and am going to try and not make excuses and just go, even if it is just 1 meeting. Again it feels a little conincidental, that the day after I took these steps, and was thinking yet again about doing a LO about Dylan, there was a ponder this question about scrap therapy (scrapping things that have happened or are not so great in our lives) and also this month's topic of 'meaningful songs' over at OSS I think that this might just be the push I need and the next step in my journey.
have been working on a tile swap this week, still have 2 to do then I will share :) next in line is a photo to scrap for a photo swap over at STTM and then a LO using decorative borders for my entry in to round 1 of the Dare to be a VERY stylish DT Member Comp over at
Crafting in Style if I manage to get through that then there is loads of challenges that I want to have a go at too LOL
Ciao for Now

Oh Sam - YES!!! Go to a SANDS meeting! The ones I went to were the best ever. So nice to sit and just chat and share (only if you want to) with other people who have some idea of how you are feeling. I really do hope the meetings give to you what they gave to me - special time to only think about yourself and Dylan in a way that makes his life celebrated and important, as it should be. Good luck, you can do it. Love {hugs} Petrina.
Sam, I think a layout about Dylan would probably be a very cathartic experience for you. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel and I hope that you find some comfort at the SANDS meeting.
LOL at Brad's questions. I sometimes have to ask Melissa not to talk for a while because it is constant!
AND $300 internet bill? That's madness - we've been with Optus for nearly 3 years and have never had a problem with them (touch wood).
Take Care X
Well you are Busy Busy busy!
I always find it interesting how life sends us on a journey of 'signs' or a string of coincidences to get us to see what it is we are meant to be doing to help ourselves. Of course these only come when we are really ready to SEE them.
Go for it with the SANDS meeting! Follow your gut feeling is my only suggestion.
OMG with the internet bill - I think that is so wrong. I reckon if you go over your alloted amount you should just get slowed down speed rather than charging for excess downloads. SO Telstra isn't it.
OH BOY am I hearing you on the non stop talking!!!! Brodie doesn't stop, he even talks in his sleep! He is no longer asking why for everything it is HOW! grrrr....let me know if you find a way to stop it!!!
Sandi :)
phew $300.00, I'd chop off his fingers! LOL
No scratch that he might need them later.
I'm so sorry about your loss, now that you have mentioned Dylan to us all, it shows your ready for SANDS, I wish you all the very best and hope you find what you need.Much Love!
Great to hear you are moving forward Sam, a hard thing to do but definitely a positive one:) Good luck with this.
OMG $300 that is unbelievable, I am sure OPTUS will be good for you. I have had cable for over a year now and NO extra nasty bills just the same amount every month and I get every 3rd month free :)
