Well?

Comment Published at 07:2107:2132 comments32 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

I'm sitting here again in shorts.  Hummm,really,it's not working.  I am steadfast in toughing it out,tomorrow after all is the first day of summer.  Mother Nature, I hold you to the calendar!  It was 9 this morning and 10 yesterday,so maybe if I do put on pants it would warm up?? LOL!! Actually I'm fine with this! But when I opened the curtains this morning I was greeted by bunnies,big bunnies and lots of little bunnies!!  Oh my!!!  Someone has been engaging in unsafe sex!!!  And the proof is very cute but totally eating everything in sight!!!   My little mind wanders from bunnies to the many Ladies on Minti that have just had babies and those awaiting them.  Cath with her two,such a busy Lady and Arna who I hope is taking it as easy as she can and dannii!!!  Fairymama25 who is in my thoughts and I send vibes to.  I so hope all goes well for you.  All the babies and all the ups and downs of being Mothers comes to mind.  I do think it's the hardest most demanding job ever!!  Physically demanding ,you can get so tired and suffer from lack of sleep to the point of illness and then there is all the physical work!!  The endless washing and floors and cleaning and cooking.  All the running about from toting home endless piles of groceries to car pooling and events at school and church meetings and doctors appointments!!  Then there is the mind stresses,money,that guy that you are suppose to have some sort of relationship with (when there is time?) ,answering endless kiddie questions to them expecting help with homework (square root of what???) to staying a step ahead of the little darlings!!!  Also on the mind is how to handle girl/boy friends, social disasters that hurt our little ones...our own social disasters as we fall off the face of the planet and how to teach budding teens everything as they already know it all.  They should really enlighten us and not keep all that info to themselves.  Mother is the hardest job and everyday we face it with all the strength we can muster and all the love that our hearts never seem to run out of. We may lose patience,we may tire...who wouldn't?, we may suffer mind lock...ohhh that one is mine!!! and we may get werry.   But we never stop loving!!! Best of luck to all the wonderous Mommies,you are so special!

Re: Well?

Ooops!  (saying that a lot today), I confess!  I went nuts with the laundry again, but I had a not able to sit still day, so can't be all bad????  Can it??? lol.  Bunnies everywhere hey?  We have laws here that prevent us from keeping them as pets (only state of QLD), and I so want one, or 5 lol.

Motherhood is terribly hard, especially when it is us mums who have to give up everything, including peeing alone for at least 9 months! lol.  It is also the most rewarding job, though going bald isn't! lol

Re: Well?

Oh Arna!!!  I forgot about that!! You are right and then there is the struggle just to have a shower!!!  Little ones are demanding!!!  Really? That is interesting about the no rabbit pet rule! I think you have enough little "pets" to take care off,no rabbits needed!! Hope you are taking care and feeling well!  No more laundry for you young Lady you need rest!!!

Re: Well?

Do we really do all that as Mothers?  You are right we do, it's exhausting reading it all no wonder one feels tired!!!  Somewhere, somehow along the line it must all be worth it...

Re: Well?

Haaa,haa,you are so cute!!!  As a mother with all her kiddies out and about I can say yes it is!!!  Kinda neat when they come back cause they miss you and need to come "home" when they need to recharge,neat that they realize what you did and how much work it was. But really neat when you find you like each other so much,not just cause you have to! Yah,it is so worth it all!

Re: Well?

Beautiful blog Marg! Yes I have those wonderful creatures that know everything. Like banging the head on a brick wall sometimes, but they can make you so proud and yes you never stop loving!

You lucky thing to be in shorts. Me I am in a few layers here. So cold. I think they said 4 degrees and have no heater on but I am feeling it. The fingers are a little numb. Bring back summer! Oh well, winter has just begun so should start to accept it and stop grumbling. Enjoy your beautiful days! Can I come over there? Have a great weekend Marg, Lynette xx

Re: Well?

Lynette,anytime!!! I would love that! Can you chase bunnies??LOL! You are right,teens are rather special!! Actually wish I could get some of that attitude!! But they are sooo interesting!!! I found the boys so different from the girls,you would think teen attitude would be the same across the genders but it isn't. Boys are special problems,like their brains switch off and a dare devil takes over,risk is in their blood and it usually takes one thing to make them stop and think!!! I have found this through all my friends that have boys too! Wonder if it is world wide like that????? Hummmm,wonder!

Re: Well?

Oh Annie you do need to get back there don't you!!  I hear from friends that have gone that it is so beautiful and a different speed of life than here!  We are a hurried place and very work geared!! It's still cool and we are getting half days of rain. Very odd spring and summer this year!

Grandparenting is something I am really looking forward to!

Re: Well?

My dog doesn't mind the bunnies either!!! Crazy dog,wish he would scare just a few off then our roses would stand a chance,we have the shortest bushes this year!!!  People actually think they are our bunnies!! Give me a break! I am so worried about them getting hit by the traffic.  Haven't had any lost so far but if they were mine they'd be safe! We have had a week of rain too,hope your girls are well and that you are doing O.K. too!!

Re: Well?

Haaa,haa well that's a good list of what they shouldn't be...add car jackers and terrorists to that too!!  I hope I didn't scare you,actually I wish I could do it all over again as I miss it a lot!!!  It is funny though when every one finally leaves home and this guy that you married so many years ago is still here!!!  I think it would be easier to spend time through the years keeping the relationship up so you still know each other!! LOL!! Is interesting though!

Re: Well?

You paint such a lovely picture of motherhood Marg, I feel all inspired!

Naughty rabbits - can you believe that when they were first introduced to England they had to be carefully nurtured in specially built warrens as they unbelievably didnt breed like rabbits. Oh for a throwback, eh? Im full of useless information, me!

Re: Well?

Oopppss,after writing to Kseers I am too!!!!! Full of ussless info that is!!! I find that interesting Kathryn!! I assumed that you had native rabbits!!! Were did yours come from?? We got your starling and the house sparrow!!! Someone thought they should be here too!! Interesting how man has atlered things with mixed results!  Well mostly not good results! We need to get together and entertain each other with our useless facts..heeee,heee at least we find them interesting!!!

You are an inspired Mom already look at your girls...or rather my girls!!! LOL!!!

Re: Well?

Where did they come from?  I know they were introduced here from England, with disastrous results - for hunting would you believe??  Anyway, I always thought they were native to England?

Re: Well?

Hummm,some of the fancy breed bunnies might have come from elsewhere but we have the native Snowshoe and Jack rabbit. Both large animals and very powerful.  What I have here in the yard is the native cottontail bunny which is a smaller version and some domestic rabbits that have joined the happy growing group!!!  The domestic is bred to have multiple colours and are larger, were the native cottontail is a dense fur with an undercoat but is usually brown,very pretty!!!! The soft brown coat is layered with darker guard hairs so it has a depth to the fur. The underbelly is white as is the tail which puffs up when they decide to move fast...which they can ...just not out of our yard!!! Haaa,haaa,gross bunny fact....hang on...rabbits eat their droppings. YES!!!!  The traditional droppings that are dark and "raisin" lke have been through a few times...yuck!!!

 Rabbits are the symbol of fertility. Keep them away from me! hehehe

We are into winter here now and I can't stand it already. It's 19 degrees so pretty good by comparison. I think I'd almost die of hypothermia in a Canadian winter LOL

Jamie and Jackie are smiling all the time now. They're sending a cuddle to Aunty Marg!

Love ya,

Cath xxxxx
