A Sad Day As I said Goodbye to my Mate

by yummymummyof3Comment Published at 05:5205:5225 comments25 comments60 Visits60 VisitsReport

Today I had to make the hardest decision of having my lovable Dog Ravi put to sleep, for 12 years he has been my best mate and loyal companion.  He hasn't been well with old age but in the last 2 days he just seemed to go down hill very quick, this morning when I woke up he was waiting for me at the back door and I knew that he was leaving me, I let him inside and he spent the day at my side.....  When I got home from picking my son up from school he was lying on the lounge room floor with a horrible look in his eyes, if any one has seen it, it was that look of death....  I rang my vet and took him down straight away, even though I knew what I was going to have to do I still had hope, he sat next to me in the car with his little head on my shoulder and we shared our last moment together.....  I stayed with him and comforted him as he was put to sleep, he went quickly and peacefully.....  So to my boy I love you buddy, thanks for the 12 years and I hope your running around in doggy heaven with all your mates.. xxxx

Why Do They Torture Us???????

by yummymummyof3Comment Published at 04:0004:0014 comments14 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

I let my 6 yr old stay up and watch his favourite show, he decided he would like to take a snack in his room to eat while watching it......  Now normally this is a big no no but I let him just this once.....  big big mistake.....

His show is finished and he came out to say goodnight, now normally he would call me in, so when I got up to follow him he was like no mum you don't have to come into my room say goodnight here..... ALARM BELLS, when I approached his room he said oh I kind of spilt my jelly........  OMG spilt it he flicked it all over the room..... WTF  why would he do this, yes he can be the normal 6 yr old terror but this omg, I had to take 50 breaths to stop from strangling him......

So now the Jelly is cleaned, well I hope I got it all, but his playstation is gone, his Nintendo is gone and I just might take his TV, but I don't want to go overboard which I tend to do...... arrrrrrgh

The funny part was he said take it all mum but please don't tell dad grrrrr

Warning.... learn from my mistake

by yummymummyof3Comment Published at 18:2618:2614 comments14 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Last night I logged onto minti and found one of my groups missing, thinking the worst I emailed the administrator asking if for some reason I had been kicked out.....  Email back no I had not been kicked out so how come I didn't have this group anymore???  Well after having a closer look at my groups I noticed a few more had disappeared!!!!  A few friends had also gone!!!!  Minti having a glitch you ask???  NO......  This morning I questioned my oh so computer clever 6 yr old if he had been looking at minti, I showed him my groups and the group that had gone missing and asked him if he had clicked on it.......  His answer no it was Xanthia (sister) which tells me he did.....  After telling him he won't be in trouble if he told me the truth.....  Finally he told me he had gone into a few groups one in particular had gross naked pics of fat men!!!! and well he did the right thing by me and left the group!!!! 

So if you were on my friends list and you are not any more..... it wasn't me it was my ever so sexy boy......  I should of learnt my lesson after the other day when I found him placing a bid on ebay for a Harry Potter dvd for $100,000......

So never leave your ebay, minti, facebook or whatever else you go on open and logged in!!!!

Stress Management

by yummymummyof3Comment Published at 14:5314:534 comments4 comments12 Visits12 VisitsReport

 

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water?'
Answers called out ranged from 8oz. To 20oz.

The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.'

'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'

'In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'

He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.'

'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. '

'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.'

'Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.

Life is short. Enjoy!'

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

1 * Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8
* Never buy a car you can't push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.


11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.


12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names
and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box

18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.


* * * * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today ! ! !

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

 

16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

 

17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
