I love this song! My Dad always sang it to my two brothers as they were growing up and I want my two boys to learn it too. It is a song about mateship of two brothers amoung other things. It is very sad but special. Have a read you will see what I am talking about!!

Two Little Boys

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said

Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys

Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew

Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys

Do you think I would leave you dying
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon by flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys

They say "change is as good as a holiday". Thinking of that I can't go on a bloody holiday I might as well get a change. So thought the most easiest thing to change for a woman is her hair. I went into the Hairdresses yesterday and I said "I have $200 (my sis gave me $150 darl) Could yo please give me a hair style where people say, I didn't recognise you". I didn't care what she did as long as it was a change!! So 3hours later (took a bit to get me to look good) I walked out of the Salon feeling like $750000 (not quie a million). No I feel great and look like a new a person and the best thing is there is not one person yet who hasn't noticed my hair and commented on it. My daughters keep on saying "you look so pretty mum" "I love the colours" . Mission accomplished. But I wonder how long I can feel good about it?  Wouldn't  it be good to be able to get your hair done at least every second day? Though I probably wouldn't be able to stop looking in the mirror (so vain) LOL!!

Take Care, all ya

Message to a white fella!

I love this poem too, alot of discussion over who actually wrote it, but as I am against rasism and discrimination, I thought I would share it.

DEAR WHITE FELLA
COUPLA THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
WHEN I BORN, I BLACK
WHEN I GROW UP, I BLACK
WHEN I GO IN SUN, I BLACK
WHEN I COLD, I BLACK
WHEN I SCARED, I BLACK
WHEN I SICK, I BLACK
AND WHEN I DIE, I STILL BLACK

AND YOU WHITE FELLA,
WHEN YOU BORN, YOU PINK
WHEN YOU GROW UP, YOU WHITE
WHEN YOU GO IN SUN, YOU RED

AND YOU CALLING ME COLORED??

After a suicide atempt 7 years ago a phscologist prescribed me with anti-depressants. I have been on high and low dosses of the medication since. I have recently been strugglying with my depression on a low dossage and have been thinking about visiting my doctor to have the dose increased again. I decided to have a browse on the internet to see if their is some way I could help myself deal with the stress and problems in my life and I strongly think I have found it. Now I know there is many people who think that this may be  a whole lot of hobble gobble (I always did) but after just one session I could feel the benifits. I am stronly going to reccommend this to anyone who feels they suffer from high stress levels and it is Meditation. I have done it twice now after the kids have gone to bed and I have woken the last two days feeling more alive and happy. I googled Meditation and had a look around a few website till I found the right tecnique I thought suited me. To all the mums out there who are looking for answers to stress. Give it ago! it cant do any harm, Can it?
