On Friday night while Leo was here he wanted an Iron Man toy which he didn’t have any way Tim decided to calm him by promising to take him shopping on Saturday to buy an Iron Man toy, so Saturday morning comes and of course Leo hadn’t forgotten he wanted to know when the shops would be open for papa to take him to get his Iron Man toy.  So anyway we did take him shopping and he did find the Iron Man toy he wanted, after he got his toy and we were coming home we called in at my parents place for me to pick something up and while we were there my sister Sue asked him if he (Leo) would give Daemon a hug from his nanna when he (Leo) went home. 

My niece Kelli and Jono along with Daemon are staying with Jess on and off while they look for another place to rent. Anyway not the point of this post, the point is that why Sue was talking to Leo I didn’t think Leo was taking much notice, however, yesterday afternoon he comes to me and asks if that lady was really Daemon’s nanna. I told him she was and that she was also my sister, he goes “your sister” yes my sister and Daemon’s nanna………..he then tells me she isn’t nanna, I am nanna and there is another nanna and another nanna when I asked him if the other nanna’s were the ladies in the photo on my wall he says yes they are nanna and you are nanna but that other girl isn’t nanna.

I explained again that she is Daemon’s nanna not his nanna I am his nanna but Sue is Daemon’s nanna and again he goes NO she is not nanna YOU are nanna not HER………….he would not have it that she was Daemon’s nanna…………………..s

Yesterday afternoon I went and had my first mammogram it was about what I expected it to be not painful or not even that uncomfortable but it took a lot quicker than I thought it would.  I am not one who likes to have afternoon appointments if I can avoid it I much prefer to have a morning appointment, this also I get from mum she is the same. I know some people don’t care what time of the day their appointment is and there are even people who would prefer an afternoon appointment but not me. I don’t like going out in the afternoon if I don’t have to.

While I was there I had a thought breast cancer doesn’t just effect woman which I think everyone knows but what type screening test do men have………….none that I can think of…………..maybe men who have men boobs can have a mammogram but most men don’t have (Gynecomastia) so is there some kind of test they can have done.

 

Yesterday afternoon I suddenly thought why don’t I try using a different email program so that is what I did I set up Windows Live Mail and guess what it works and I am now getting my emails. Before I could get it set up I had to ring tech support and get a new password for my email account, which I did and now all is good and I am getting my emails again so I am now a happy camper…………..

Not that I ever go camping because I do not like camping I like a bed and not a blow up thing on the ground oh and I have to have a toilet and a decent shower although I would prefer a bath but anyway lets get back to the point. Which is I am getting emails again, I had to sort through over 670 emails most of which I just deleted but I did read I think 7 emails which was blogs sent to me via email. Ok most of the 670 odd emails were blogs but I wasn’t reading all of them…..lol

So what has happened since my last post well………..nothing much………….Kathy did get a new/second hand car it is Michael’s fathers old car they paid $3,500 for it his dad sold it to them for what he would get if he traded it in. Now they have 3 cars and at first they were talking about selling Kathy’s old car but Kathy told me today that Michael has realised it makes more sense to sell his sports car and he can use the new car and Kathy can keep using her old blue Nissin which she owns. They are hoping that they get pretty much enough from the sale of the sports car to pay off the loan for it.

Oh yeah I also went with Kathy to watch Sydney-May’s swimming lesson this morning and afterwards I watched Summer here while Kathy took Sydney to the park for an hour so they could have some time just mummy & Sydney. I loved watching Summer and she was good for me.

Back to Kathy’s car we now have the blue car here for a while since she didn’t want it just sitting at her place as she doesn’t live in the best area and she was worried about having it just sit at the top of her driveway.

Today started out wet and now it is quite warm maybe I could even say it’s hot, hot enough to have the air conditioner on.

I was up early again today at 6am with Little Leo this is the second day in a row I am not one who likes getting up early, that said I am able to do it when I have to do so without getting upset or edge because I had to wake early even if I have had a terrible night’s sleep.

I have just changed seats in the lounge room moved from my lounge chair to Tim’s so I can watch Leo who is out the front playing just so much easier as I can see outside from Tim’s chair. At the moment he is outside talking to Lisa I wonder if he is driving her crazy………as he is full of questions.

At the moment I am watching Murdoch Mysteries while keeping an eye on Leo he just came inside and asked if he could have “cheese ice cream” I had no idea what he was talking about be discovered he meant “cheesecake” I gave it to him and he tastes thinks and says yeah I like this and wonders off to the bedroom to eat his cheesecake and watch tv.

Yesterday afternoon I was in a right foul mood no reason for it I just was and it carried over till the night thankfully I am in a much better mood today although I have started yawning a bloody lot and that is annoying.

Oh well you can tell it is now 2.55pm and I am starting to feel tired but no chance of a nap while I have Leo here. Although he also just came and told me that he was feeling tired and when would mummy be back to take him home. When I told him I was also tired he said “well you can’t sleep till mummy gets back”

Oh yeah Lisa (neighbour) told me that she thinks he is quite a smart little boy and would make a good lawyer because of the way he states his case (her words)………….tell me something I don’t know……………lol

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.

(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.

Do you like to take the stairs, or do you prefer to use the escalator or maybe youalways use the lift/elevator. Up until the last year or so I would always take the stairs but I am trying to get back into use the stairs more, when I use the escalator I prefer to use them like stairs if no one is in front of me walking either up or down.

Do you get annoyed when you see a bunch of young fit people waiting for the lift and filling it up while the older more unfit have to wait or those with prams or trolleys also have to wait. I do I will often look a them and thing can’t you walk the short distance and use the escalator and leave the lift for those of us who can’t use the escalator.

I remember when my girls where little and I had a pram I would never take the pram on the escalator  I did it once or twice when I first had Kathy but didn’t feel comfortable doing it. I would see many people doing just that but I was always worried if I did it the escalator would stop while I was either half way up or down…………..lol

Now days we also have what they call travelators which are moving walkways so instead of useing the lift when you have a pram or trolley you can use a travelator and yes I have used the ones at the Charlestown Square a lot even though it is a bit of a walk and the lift is often closer I take the time to walk around to the travelator and use it instead leaving the lift for those who are not able to walk as far.

I have also notice many shopping centres and other building don’t have stairs located in a place that is easy to find/see thus people who may prefer to use stairs don’t because they don’t know where the stairs are.

How long does it take you to get dressed when you are going out is it the same has how long it takes you to get dressed……….you may think the two are the same but for me it’s not I can be dressed and out the door within 15minutes but of a Friday when I go out I get up at 7.30am and I am ready to leave by 8.30am. This is because on Friday’s I take my time getting ready and also have times when I can’t decide what to wear, or I end up finding that what I thought I would wear makes me look fat even if I wore the same outfit only a week or so before………or sometimes what happens is that I pick an outfit based on what I expect the weather to be only to find out that it either hotter or colder then I thought it would be.

Do you wear the same outfit two days running or are you like me and that is something you rarely do. I will wear the same clothes a second day but only if on the first day I had only wore the clothes for an hour or so.

My mum often wears the same outfit two days in a row and there have been times when I  have thought why? She has plenty of clothes so there is no reason to do so, Tim is also the same he will wear the same clothes two or even three days in a row but with Tim it is even more yuck since he works up a sweat and should never wear the same clothes for more then one day.

One exception would me the outfit I wore Friday for 2 hours and again today all day, this is a photo of what I was wearing……………You will notice that I suck at taking my own photo……..lol

Ok yesterday each time I sat to write I ended up getting distracted by one thing or another, anyway yesterday was a good day I went to see nan and she was good she was up dressed and in the lounge area can’t say she was watching the tv as she is no longer able to do that she just lays in the princess chair and sleeps. When she has a visitor she will look at them and smile and even say  a few words, when she is like that we are over the moon.

Today I am off shopping with my eldest daughter Kathy-Lee she should be here in about an hour to pick me up to go shopping for clothes for my precious Sydney-May she has outgrown so many of her clothes.

Last week I saw on someones blog a reciepe for banana and walnut bread and thought that sounds nice so copied it and asked my daughter and my niece if one of them would bake it for me and yeah my niece made it for me. I am just having the last of it now for breakfast I do like my banana bread and yeah I know I can buy it and yeah I have bought it at times but homemade is much nicer then shop bought also when it is home made the loaf is much bigger then the shop bought loaves.

Speaking of banana bread how do you like it warmed in the microwave or toasted under the grill or toasted some other way, me I like it toasted under the grill. I don’t like anything like butter on it just toasted to a nice golden brown.

I asked last night if my niece would be able to make me some more banana bread this time I am hoping for banana and choc chip bread. I know I could make it myself but hell I am lazy and would rather have someone else make it for me…………..lol

Oh yeah I got into trouble off Jessica for writing a blog post about her and Leo she had told me in the past not to write about her but I forgot, yeah she was pised off with me but she has gotten over it and has told me again not to write about her and Leo so I will try my best to not do so…………….well I won’t till I forget again and do it again………………….lol

I am worried about my daughter Jessica she is at her wits end with my grandson Leo, she feels like she has failed him as a mother and is often very stressed and upset not knowing what to do. When she gets upset I get upset as there is nothing I can do to help her and when I do try to speak to her she gets angry with me and yells.

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 is convinced the school have given up on him and just send him home because it is the easy option and he will never attent school for more then a couple of hours. When she gets in these moods nothing I say helps she just gets angry with with me.
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…………

She is convinced that I allow him to get away with everything and give him everything he wants and never get mad with him but that is not the case. I do get mad in fact while there were here yesterday 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. Anyway 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…………

She is often saying to me that she can’t do it anymore and that it is too hard and she has failed and I said yes I know that feeling and then you go to bed get up in the morning and do it all again because you have to………….there is no other option. This of course made her mad with me and she yelled at me. “I wake up not feeling like I can do it”

She has been prescribed anti depression medication but she will not take it and since she doesn’t live with me I can’t give it to her I said to her that if she wanted me to I could ring or text her each day to remind her but she got all pissy with me so I haven’t done that. To me it is like she just isn’t giving it all her best. When I talked to her about her depression medication she said to me that it didn’t work so there was no point in taking it, I said it doesn’t always work straight away and if she really felt it wasn’t working then she has to go back to the doctors and have another chat with them. I also said counselling may help but she was like I don’t want to go to counselling so I am also at my wits end about my daughter I just don’t know what to do to help her.
