PATIENCE, BE PATIENT, BE WILLING TO PASS UP GOOD FOR GREAT!

*Sigh*.....it is a contented one, however it clouds the anxiety i am feeling as i look around my dungeon (office) and out its door into the rest of the house.....thankfully its dark so all i see is blackness through the windows........i know what the blackness is hiding though, 2 months worth of blowing winds, other people leaves and 5 weeks of unattended raking, pruning....thankfully the lawn was mowed last weekend and the pool vaccumed.
It's rough working for yourself, it takes discipline let me tell you. It's the one time my obsessive compulsive personality comes in handy!!! Yes, close friends and family will tell you its all true.......some aviod my place like the plauge as their kids just love to pick up all my treasures...knowingly it drives me insane as nothing is put back where it belongs, thats right i have a place for everything ....my dungeon is usually tidy..........files are easy to find....and academic works are at arms length. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT.....these last 2 days actually probably 2 weeks.....i have been busy with University, i have papers due.......professors trying to talk me into completing subjects that i am trying to worm my out of till next year because work is sooooooooooooo busy. I am the only one in my "region"..........everyone else is off on holidays so i am left to do all their matters. My daughter is on school holidays........and knows not to say the "B" word!!!!

"A" my princess and i have had a great last couple of days spending time together. She makes me so proud when i look at her independence. I as a child would not leave my mothers side....funny, my mother and father were both figures in the house.........not a maternal bone in their body......infact when i was married i was in a spin because i had to dance with my dad.........i don't ever remember touching him in all 27 years...LOL. Thankfully "A" and her dad have the best relationship.........she idolises him and he her.Both of us have worked so hard in making sure she has felt secure and loved. I didn't have that as a kid, infact when i think about it, i really am surprised i turned out as well adjusted as i am. I guess my chosen "career" helps a lot, i have learned so much through psychology studies ..LOL even if it has been directed at criminals!!!
Back to "A"........we had a lovely day doing girly things....went to the hairdressers and after Josh worked his magic on "A" she looked 18!!!!! Hmmmm.....why couldn't he make me look 28!!!
We then treated ourselves to lunch by the water and then to a movie, that was yesterday. Today.........we bought some "bling bling".....LOL we are off to a party this Sat night and went to the jewellers to buy a nice picture frame as a gift......well we did but also bought a gift for each of us!!!!!! Then off to get my nails done.........then we hit the clothing stores.....say no more!!!
Was a costly day.............we had a blast......and are now buggered.

To my friends....forgive me if i have not emailed.........i still think of you and promise to be in touch in the next 2 days...ok 3...LOL.
