 Hello I am Likes2chat2

I have been on minti for a while now and I thought I would update my " About my family profile"  

I have a daughter and her name is Ebony, she has started Kindergarten this year and wow hasnt this year flown??

It came to a head a few weeks ago when her school had the newbies that were to come to her school next year, I just thought to myself oh my god Ebony was here the same time last year  my baby isnt such a baby anymore

Anyway there is more to my family than Ebony, I have a wonderful partner whom we have been together for 3 years this year 2008 we finally bit the bullet and moved in together. We cant rush these things now. My partner has children from previous relationship ranging from age 21 this year down to 5. Yep he still wants more. They all live with their mum exept the 2 eldest which have moved in with us. Yep its a full house hold already.

We are planning on giving Ebony a baby brother preferably next year. Ebony will be 7, yeah I know a big gap but as I said before you cant rush these things.

My partner is a computer tech, and I am a Remedial Massage Therapist, and I have been massaging since 1998. We both work from home. I also do casual work for Target, I have been there since I was 15, I had a 6 year break when I had Ebony and this year went back casually. It feels like I never left.

We both love working for ourselves its a lot harder than working for someone else but it gives us a lot of satisfaction and that is all that matters   Not to mention I am home for Ebony.

The Bay's Occasional Care in Bateau Bay is needed more enrollments

Comment Published at 05:0205:020 comments0 comments6 Visits6 VisitsReport

 

Hi its been a while since I have blogged, I hope you are all well.

In my suburb there is this fantastic little child care centre and I thought I would give it a bit of a blog especially for the central coast Mum's who May not know of this great little centre.

It is needing more enrollments as all the little darlings have grown up and went off to big school, funny kids have a knack of growing up so quickly.

I really hope there is a centre like this near you, its so handy, not to mention if you want to go and socialise your child you can go there for free!!! as long as you are there with your child supervising.

Thank you for reading

Oh what a day!!

Hi,

I am so excited Ebony started Tae Kown Do today.

God love her she has been asking to go to Tae Kwon Do ever since she saw my trophy that i got when I trained, and thats since she was 3.

She nagged me last year to join her up, but at the tender age of 5 I thought it would be best if I waited till she was that just a little bit older.

We today was the day, her first lesson, by a instructor that I trained with when I was younger, it made me laugh, as the the last time I saw him he was a knee high to a grass hopper, tender age of 9. Now he is a grown man, in a way it made me feel old lol.

The sweetest part is that he still remembered me!!! Not to mention when I got a phone call from my master in regards to Ebony Joining up, he didnt recognise my name until I told him my maiden name. Then he remembered straight away.

Apart from how are you, I got so when are you comming back to training? then he realed off where training was held at and what time etc etc.

I laughed and said I want to get Ebony in first and see how she goes, as always children come first.

I would love to get back into it, its a matter of finding time, ahhh life was a bit easier when you are a teenager, there seemed to be more time back then , then there is now???

Now its all rush rush do this do that get this done get that organised etc etc.

I feel I dont have enough time as it is?? between work, running a house, organising my daughter aughh I feel like I am stealing time just to get onto my pc to check emails and relax on minti.

Look at the time already its 11.53pm, ha so much for the idea of going to bed at a reasonable hour tonight, I have work early in the morning, I wake up every morning thinking oh why do I do this to myself?

But as per usual time is a theif and it slips away from you, before you know it bam there goes that hour.

ok now getting back to what I was talking about, sorry about that I got a bit carried away there, so, Ebony had her first lesson today, she went really well. They went over time today so I got to see her in action for 15 mins before it ended.

She was so excited, she came home and we practiced the new moves that she had learn't. I have my kick bag still from all those years ago, I just couldnt part with it, tae kwon do what such a huge part of my life and it was the best thing that I ever did. Even though it was the most stressing and distressing part of my life, Tae Kwon Do was my outlet it was my escape. It was a place where I could be me. I bet you are thinking so when are you going to go back Jennifer?? I will go back, I just don't  know when.

Anyway tomorrow I can't wait till Ebony gets home I am going to get the bag out and practice with her, its going to be so much fun.

Getting back to my day, Not only did this day get off to a late start, late waking up, late getting to school, Ebony also had swimming lessons to do today.

So after school there was a mad dash for the shops for a few things then a mad dash to swimming lessons thankfully we werent late for them, i spose that was one thing we were actually early for lol, then come home cook dinner. Just as I finished my dinner my next appointment arrived.

See my life never stops. Lol I feel I hit the ground running everyday.

Tomorrow is going to be just as hectic we are down to one car at the moment, So Mark is going to take me to and from work, just in case in the meantime he needs the car for a call out to fix someones computer. I get back enough time to set up for my next massage and wait till Ebony gets off the bus. Do a Massage then I will have spare time to hold the kick bag for Ebony. Get dinner ready and do the cycle all over again.

yay the joys of life, My mother warned me that my life will never be the same after having children, and she is so incredibly right, she forgot to mention to me that time goes that extra fast.

Anyway I have to head off now,

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful night

Hi, I have been tagged by Simplyme01ca,

The idea is that I had to get a photo from my computer and talk about it.

Here is a photo (I hope it works) of one of the lorrikeets that come to visit on our back patio.

They are gorgous birds, these ones are very inquisitive and far from camera shy.

The way our back veranda and patio are situated its less than a meter from each other hense that is why the photo is so close up.

We feed them occasionally with wild bird seed. I have spoilt them once or twice with a seed stick for wild birds, that was gone within hours of putting it up for them.

At one stage this little fella bought his whole family to visit and we had 15 of them on the roof. Must admit it was very noisy, but it was a awesome sight to see. The funniest thing is when you see them hop, they don't walk they jump and hop.

I swear when you talk to them they look at you as if they understand what you are saying.

Thank you for reading

Hello every so often you recieve an email that is worth sharing its called Paster with guts

Comment Published at 17:4717:470 comments0 comments9 Visits9 VisitsReport

Every so often you get an email that is worth sharing, I thought I would share it with all my minti friends.   Please feel free to copy this email onto all your friends its ever so true.   Kind regards   Jennifer    

PASTOR WITH GUTS!

It seems prayer still upsets some people. Please read.... When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:                                                        

  'Heavenly Father', 

 We come before you today  

To ask your forgiveness and   To seek your direction and guidance.  

We know Your Word says,  'Woe to those who call evil good' 

 But that is exactly what we have done. 

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium                                                  

And reversed our values.    

 We have exploited the poor    

And called it the lottery. 

 We have rewarded laziness 

  And called it welfare.     

  We have killed our unborn  

  And called it choice. 

 We have shot abortionists 

 And called it justifiable.  

 We have neglected to discipline our children  

 And called it building self esteem.    

  We have abused power 

  And called it politics.  

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions    

 And called it ambition. 

 We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography 

 And called it freedom of speech and expression.  

 We have ridiculed the time honored values of our forefathers 

 And called it enlightenment.    

  Search us, Oh, God,     

 And know our hearts today; 

 Cleanse us from every sin 

  And set us free. 

   'Amen!'

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.

The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea . Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio Program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our Nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.' 

  If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.' Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your email list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. How many people in your address book will not receive this prayer...? Do you have the guts to pass it on? I just did! May God bless you today!
