HMMMMMM........BIT OF UP AND DOWN

Comment Published at 04:0904:0916 comments16 comments48 Visits48 VisitsReport

Bit of a mixed blog tonight........

Today was Luke's Pre-school day and I wasn't working so it was just Zak and I........I decided to take him to mine and a very good friend of mine's favourite place......Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar in Parramatta. Now for those that have never heard of it, it's absolute heaven. They have hot and cold choc drinks, chocolate crepes, chocolate fondue, chocolate brownie's and even chocolate pizza. The menu is amazing and it takes you forever to even decide what to have. I had a warm choc brownie with choc sauce and a coconut hot chocolate, Zak had an explosive chocolate shot : melted choc in a shot glass with white choc drops and popping candy sprinkled on top...........needless to say Zak was quiet for a good 10 mins while he tried to finish it. When we left he said "thank you so much Mum, that was the best". We both had such a nice time together, we don't get to do that very often and I miss it. I think I really needed it too because I've been very down for a while now and have been stuck and don't how to get out of it but spending some quality time with my boy helped me to forget for a while.

I experienced a random act of kindness earlier when I logged on to Minti, I found that a certain member(who will remain un-named) had sent me a gift, the gift was of a Love Can.....now to someone else it may have just been a nice thought, but to me it was so much more than that, it was just what I needed....someone who wasn't trying to cheer me up but just doing it to be nice as this person had no idea what I was going through and isn't someone I really talk to alot either.........I have to say that it was such a sweet thing to find at a time when I wasn't feeling so cheery......So thank you........you know who you are.

You just never know how the little things you do for someone will help to make their day just a little bit brighter.

Thanks for reading my blog....I know it's a bit of up an down and all over the place, but I needed to get it out.....

Amanda xxxx

Re: HMMMMMM........BIT OF UP AND DOWN

That's so sweet,the chocolate.your son's gratitude and knowing some one cares.  Life offers us all those at different times.  When losses are so hard to take along comes something special.  You deserve the special and I feel you are suffering with a huge loss. A lot of people care about you Amanda so trying to get through a lone may make sense on one level but we are all ways sending good vibes your way.

You just made my mouth water as we all love chocolate and we often have some but yours was no ordinary chocolate.. Explosive chocolate shot, I would love to taste that I just imagined Zac scraping every last bit'

How cheering it must have been to receive a gift so unexpectantly

Wow that sounds like one hell of a place! I think I am glad that I dont have one of those near me, I would be the size of a house in no time............. have you tried the choc pizza??

Its sad to hear that you are in a slump and not feeling the best, I am glad that you were cheered up by an unlikely source though!

Re: HMMMMMM........BIT OF UP AND DOWN

Right, I am so coming there with you next time...... OMG I would be in heaven!!! Just the lock me in there.........

I think it's so fantastic that you got some one on one time with Zak. I know just how special he is to you and by the sounds of it he totally loved having that special time with Mum. It's moments like those we need to focus on more (HINT HINT).... that;s the stuff of memories that will last a lifetime.

YAY to the person that gave you the can of love..... it's the simple things that can bring the biggest smile to our faces!!!!

Now, next time you go back to that particular chocolate shop can you go shopping for me??? Bugger it, load up a truck and send it on it's way!!!!

love ya like HOT showers,

me xoxo

 Dear Amanda, i'm glad to hear that you had a lovely time  with Zac  today and sounds like you picked the perfect place  to  shut off from how your been feeling.

People can sure amaze you, when you least expect it,  with caring  thoughts or just letting you know that you are a very special kind of person ( which you are)

Sweetie, reading this, it looks like i will have to send Steve down, to work his magic on you.

All our love your way, Janice & Steve xxx

 mmmm just had to go get some chocolate then! that chocolate shop sounds soooooo yummy, I'd be there for hours eating.

It's the random acts of kindness that can make the biggest difference. We could all learn to be kinder to each other. What a happy place we could all be in then! The person who sent you the gift is one step ahead.

Big hugs sweety,

Cath xxxxx
