TUESDAY 5TH FEBRUARY

Well, only 5 days between entries this time... that should make it easier to remember stuff.

Ummmm.....

Oh yes...

Jared was away for the weekend, stayed with his friend Nicholas. Lord, it was quiet around here. But on the upside... the whole place was tidy for 2 WHOLE DAYS!!
Of course his father was gone for most of those 2 days as well that helped A LOT.

Before Jason left I had a talk with him asking him where his mind was at. Won't go into details... suffice to say he was most unhappy with our discussion.
Funny how some people can't handle the truth.
He wandered back in on Saturday night LATE... looking for an arguement, but didn't get one from me. He said some mean hurtful things to me, and left.

He returned Sunday afternoon. I'd already done the front lawns (3 of them), I got sick of waiting for him to help. It was a real struggle with the mower, and my leg problem. Took twice as long as normal. What made it even worse was... the protection plate at the back of the mower fell off!!
You know..... the one that stops all the grass and anything else from flying up and hitting you in the shins!! I didn't know how to get it back on... the rivets must have
rotted (or whatever rivets do). So I had to do the other 2 front lawns without the plate.
Can you picture it....
me hobbling along at the RH side of the mower, pushing and pulling it with one hand.
Why does this stuff ALWAYS happen to ME?????

After I did the front I came inside and was so bushed I had to have a rest... put my head on the pillow and DIED!
Jason came home while I was asleep... so did Jared.

I went out to do the back lawn... THEY watched a video on TV!
I went down the side of the house to hose the paths and when I got back the mower was gone. I could hear it churning away out by the pool. So... he must have got a case of the 'GUILTS".. made no difference to me, I still didn't talk to him.

I went off to have a shower after I had a caffiene hit and again put my head down for 5 minutes and died. Mum woke me up asking what Jason was doing in the kitchen.
How the devil would I KNOW???? AND I didn't care.

Apparently he made dinner.
I guess this was his way of apologising... didn't cut it with me!
He was left to do the dishes as well.

Came Monday about noon and I still hadn't spoken to him BUT unfortunately it wasn't convenient for me... So I made the first move. He ended up apologizing, verbally
and saying that I WAS RIGHT! Of course I was RIGHT... aren't parents ALWAYS RIGHT *S*

....................

Lord, I should have kept notes... here it is, the middle of February and I haven't a clue what happened in the last 10 days.
Hey how lucky can YOU get?? LOL!

Jared's back at school... seems to be doing OK.
Likes his teacher... hallelujah!!
We decided to give up on the school piano lessons and we are both taking private lessons from the same teacher. He didn't seem to be getting anywhere and I can't
see the point of having a piano if I can't play it.

I should have kept writing...
now it's the end of February and my mind's a total blank. (So what's new!!)

The top of the news at the moment is our Governor General (the Queen's representative here in Australia)... Dr Hollingworth, who was an Anglican ARCHBISHOP before he took on his currrent appointment!!

This excuse for a man, while he was Archbishop allowed a priest... who had sexually abused children at a college in Toowoomba, Queensland, to have a Parish and continue preaching.... after the Archbishop was told by the Anglican Council to get rid of him. Not only that... he gave this man a $5000 pay increase as well. He failed to advise the parents of the children at Toowoomba Preparatory College that some of the children had been sexually abused by this monster.

The people of Australia are asking for his resignation because he knowingly kept this information secret. Of course he's saying now that he did nothing wrong! This man was patron to a great many children's charity and aid organisations. Quite a few have now dropped him. It makes you wonder why the offending priest was allowed to continue preaching instead of being punished. Perhaps it reeks af blackmail, Perhaps he had something he held over Archbishop Hollingworth. That's the only reason I can think of for this man keeping his job..

Our illustrious Prime Minister... Johnny Howard (Coward) is running true to form with his head buried in the sand... supporting the Governor General (henceforth to be referred to as the G.G.)
This man (The P.M.) is an idiot!!!!! Lord... you only have to watch him waffle on T.V. interviews to know he's the most non commital person on this planet.

Johnny was interviewed for an hour by one of our top talk back radio announcers, John Laws. In that hour he said nothing about anything, committed to nothing

Would YOU trust THIS face????
