Happy 60th Daddy!
Today is my Dads 60th birthday, which means it is my 40th in exactly 2 months!
Better pull the finger out and arrange that double party for DH and me huh?? LOL
Okay we went to Barmera to visit Dad last night. Leigh had a job interview at 5.30 and we decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and do the Dad thing as well.
I didn't have any idea what to get dad for his gift and being a big one i couldnt just buy the usual stuff so managed to make him an album with copies of all the old photos i have here of his Nanna and Pop, Mum and Dad and sister. I also used some old photos of us 3 kids that he wouldnt have seen as him and mum separated when i was about 3 or 4 so he really loved it......it was really plain and basic but made with love:)
DS was told at the interview that he would get an email about Tues to confirm whether or not he got the job....imagine his joy when i logged on after getting home and seeing he has been successful and now will be someones employee................................... i will keep it as a surprise where until he gets his uniform and i can takea photo LOL
We have had some issues with him lately and the latest news which hasnt been confirmed yet is that he may be getting suspended! Naughty boy. There are no excuses but we are hoping to speak to the persons involved and are hoping a written apology and a verbal one with reasons may just help him out of this predicament. Little shit!
We are at our wits end with him , okay he is not an angel but he is not a nasty or vindictive or anything bad, he just loves a good chat and he is like his father and can come across as arrogant sometimes, he doesnt quite know how to hide his impatience with people he feels are being fools and that is not meant to be derogatory in any way.....i guess like both his parens he doesnt suffer fools gladly....
He just doest seem to want to go that extra bit with his work or anything, which is unfortunate as we are told he is a very bright child but just doesnt work to his full potential, but that i believe is most kids and we have been told repeatadly (sp? doesnt look right which ever way i spell it LOL) that this is a common trait in year 9 boys....................grrr.............i wish he would wake up.
He knows to be a sign writer or graphic artist which is what he wants he has to study hard and he told the guy who gave him his interview that yes he was going to grade 12 and he asked why, Leigh said because i am going to Trade School so he has the drive just cant work out where to put it at the moment.
We are thinking that this getting a job thing may help him settle down. We have explained that school comes first and if he doesnt keep up with the school work he has to stop work but i believe this may just be what he needs.....to help him focus.....he has been desperate to get a job and he has taken resumes about town and only one contacted him to say he was unsuccessful.....he actually has been a bit depressed about his lack of job and money.....part and parcel of being a kid i guess.
Zoe is great as normal, although we are now getting one or two tantrums and hissy fits, being 12 and a half does that i guess LOL She is such a loving giving and kind person and i love her to pieces,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,she makes me smile with lots of things she does. You know what she did last night......i had asked her to turn my electric blanket on for me when she came to give me a kiss goodnight ......................well when i went up later to make my bed she had already done it...............well okay i didnt have a doona cover or sheet on my bed but it was made lovely:) So thats how we slept in it last night:)
Thankyou to the girls who left comments for me in my last post. Im sure not alot of people read this dribble but it is lovely to know that some do and that you take the time to comment:)

Argh probbly not explaining it very well LOL:)
There have been changes at DH work too and i hope to god he will still have a job.......if he doesnt we are stuffed,,,,,,,,,,,we have pretty much decided if this new venture of ours doesnt work out................................................and there is no reason it shouldnt (apart from the water side of it all) then we are pulling up stakes and moving :)
We have given ourselves 5 years to ge this place paid off and i know we can do it so fingers crossed te water is available to us.....but in so saying there are so many people worse off than us...
God internet is slow today...we are right at the end of our bb. I paid it thurs and i bumps back up again i think on tues...........
Well i am heading off now....no one else is up yet and so i might play with some of these papers....cant be bothered fighting with the stupid internet today i have had enough :)
