I have my next Dr. appointment on the 20th Dec if you don't know why check my other blogs. I just got the results back from my pap smear.(normal) I would recomment to all women out there make sure you keep these checks in order have them done more oftern than not. At 22 I had abnormal cells and had to have surgury (Not a plesant experience).

Troy and I have been TTC since May and no luck yet (no period yet either). Anyway I hope the Dr. does something at this visit and not just send me for more tests.

SHE BETTER DO SOMETHING OR I'LL SCREAM.....

Don't look for a punch line, as there isn't one; but please read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.  Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

How ever, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

You now have two choices:


1. Delete
2. Forward

May your day, be a Shay Day.

Peita79 As a kid in school I would have been voted last to marry, last to have children, most likely to succeed, but at age 17 I ran away from home with the circus, I travelled from Victoria to Queensland with them and in Queensland decided that’s where I wanted to be.

As a kid in school I would have been voted last to marry, last to have children, most likely to succeed, but at age 17 I ran away from home with the circus, I travelled from Victoria to Queensland with them and in Queensland decided that’s where I wanted to be. I lived in a refuge, had no money. I started working in a night club (I was still 17), taking speed I even stole a friends surf board to support my habit, I got involved with the wrong crowd and the next I knew the refuge was kicking me out (I didn’t come home for curfew).

    My mum insisted I move back home to Victoria and return to complete school, I had nothing better to do so that’s what I did.

    Returning to school and coming off speed was hard it was hard to communicate on the same level as other kids after seeing what I thought was the world. I started a relationship that was defiantly no right for me and became very self destructive to the point where I found myself waking up in hospital after taking numerous pills, speed and alcohol. I was told that my so called friends who I had been at a party with had just driven up to the emergency doors put me out of the car and driven off (great friends). After that I moved to Melbourne.

    I was 18 and living in Melbourne with my step sister, I moved around a bit down there but finally settled into a relationship more for convenience than love I would have to say. It lasted until I went to visit mum and ran into an old friend and instantly moved in with him.

    It was just before my 19th Birthday when I moved in and called my boyfriend in Melbourne to tell him I would never be coming back (God I was a Bitch). I was only thinking about myself. I got regnant on my 19th Birthday, we had a shoot gun wedding 3 months later, Mum tried to offer a car instead of pay for a wedding but I wanted to raise my baby in a marriage.

    To cut a long story short from here I was 23 Married, then divorced with 2 children. The reason for divorce was the day I came home from hospital with my youngest, my husband turned to me and said he was seeing someone else and she was now 3 months pregnant. HUGE SHOCK, I kicked him out.

    I then got involved in an abusive relationship and left my children with their father. (This move was my biggest regret, but without it I would not have learned the lessons I had to learn.) I moved to Adelaide as this was my partner’s way of controlling me (He liked to use isolation). I got involved with Scientology and was making great progress within the organisation and with myself, once my partner realised this he pulled me away, (I guess looking back I was weak after what my husband had done and would do anything to prove I could make a relationship work.) The relationship didn’t work even when we moved back to Victoria. One night he beat me so hard that I ended up with a fractured nose, black eyes and emergency housing until the court case. He pleaded guilty and all that was done was he was issued with a restraining order.

    After that I made a decision to not let any man control or use me. I was not their toy. At this point my life changed, I began DATING. My friends didn’t believe that I was just dating guys I wouldn’t sleep with them and they knew where they stood. Life was going great.

    I was playing pool one night and in walked this very drunk guy but for some reason I couldn’t take my eyes off him, I didn’t talk to him and after the pool comp had finished I walked out of the pub not thinking about it too much. As I was walking up the street a little I heard a voice “See ya” these were the first 2 words spoken to me by my now wonderful husband.

    I’m now happily married with 2 beautiful children, 3 wonderful step children and 1 cat. Life is Great.

I'm getting kinda nervouse as I'm not sure quite what to expect. All i have been told is that they will be able to help me get my period. (Haven't had it for 7 months)

    Troy and I are still trying for a bub and hopefully the Dr. will be able to help in some way.

    We keep speaking to my Mum about having a baby and all she seems concerned about at the moment is my genera health, I have previously had cervical cancer which i fought and i guess she is worried that it may be a problem again.

    Anyway that's about all for me I will keep you informed when i found out what the Dr. has to say.

All I have to write with is the yellow highlighter left in my bag from my trip yesterday to the dentist, where I had every intention of working while I waited, but as it turned out I really didn’t have that long to wait.

    The dentist had both good and bad news:

    Good News: I don’t have to have all 4 wisdom teeth out as originally thought.

    Bad News: 4 teeth are coming out 2 bottom wisdom and 2 top molers to allow room for wisdom (I need all the wisdom I can get).

    Bad News: I have to go to Melbourne to have it done as Bendigo is no longer referring public patients for dental work.

    Good News: We could finally get to visit Molly (Leah) in her natural environment.

    NOTE TO SELF: Tell Troy we can see Molly whilst in Melbourne and he can hang with her while I’m under. (General Anaesthetic the best sleep you’ll never remember.)

    Sorry about that you will begin to notice as I write these blogs that sometimes my mind just tends to wander of the track and the pen or in this case highlighter takes hold (I will type everything I write, no editing).

    HUNTLY 8 bus has just arrived, not mine so I still wait.

    1 passenger disembarked not the usual for this stop looks like a school kid, the uniform kinda gives it away.

    I have decided to pre write my blogs from not to give you a better account of my life, thoughts and dreams.

    Speaking of dreams, I had a weird on last night.

    I was a 16yr old girl and I was pregnant, I went into labour and was raced to a Dr. buy my secret boyfriend a blacksmith (Beautifully played by Troy). It’s kinda weird going threw labour in a dream but I guess good cause in a dream the pain wasn’t too bad, and Troy as a blacksmith was kinda sexy, he was all sweaty and…..

    Bus is here. Have to go for a sec and get on………

    1 girl on the bus I’m surprised that her twin sister isn’t with her, anyway where was I?

    Ah…yes. Troy all Hot, Sweaty and Dirty oh….. to live back in those days.  Wait a minute come to think of it I’m glad I didn’t have smelladream cause I guess hot, sweaty and dirty may LOOK sexy but I’m sure the SMELL may leave a little to be desired.

    Well the bus has left the stop and it’s kinda hard to write so I’ll leave it here.

Well just as I felt i was starting to feel better, my wisdom teeth decided that after ignoring them for 3 years (foirst told they had to be removed and I didn't listern) that they would finally remind me that they still needed to be taken out. I have in infection on one side and on the other the tooth root system is disturbing the nerve, so I guess if it's not one thing it's another.

    First told I have fatty liver, then told I have PCOS noe to top it all off I have to have 4 teeth pulled and travell down to Melbourn to have it done as they are no longer doing public patients in bendigo.

    Anyway, I'm sore and anrgyy and probably shouldn't be writting anymore so I will leave it at that.

    Eventhough I'm not getting my period I have been told that I still may be ovulating so Troy and I are still practising (any excuse to be close ).

    Anyway I feel kinda tired now and have a huge head ache which are all the things you can't feel when your at work for the day. I might go try some fresh air and see how I feel after that.

I finished work early on Friday as i wanted to get home and clean up a bit befor we had visitors on Saturday. When i got home i did some dishes and then I made dinner Mac cheese with chicken. I got to bed around 9.30pm which is great as i was really tired and was having some abdo pain, I took my med's and headed off to bed but couldn't get to sleep, i keep tossing and turning all night, I even tried to wake Troy up so I would have someone to talk to but he wouldn't budge. At about 12.30 am Troy started to wake so I just started talking to him we didn't get back to sleep until aroun 2am and then we were woken up by Shania (4) at 6am as she wanted to watch Saturday morning cartoons. We reluctantly got up and starte organising everything for Troy's B'Day BBQ. I had the kids make Troy his B'Day card and half way threw Shania (4) said to her dad that she didn't want to finish her card and that he could have it just the way it was (this kinda upset Troy as he already feels a little distant from her and she is constantly saying that she doesn't like him. I try and reasure Troy that she is just going threw a faze and it should soon stop.)

    Mum arrived early to drop off a few esential items and the she raced off home to get ready and meet my grandparents so they could come around also (In the 2 years we have lived at our new house they have never visited). It was real honour having them in our house.

    Everyone arrived at about 12.30pm and we spent so much time talking and catching up that Mum and my grandparent didn't leave until 4.30pm Troy loved having them around and we have agreed to go to their house next Saturday as they need some help getting things cleaned up now that they are getting older.

    On Sunday we had a lazy day and I cooked a roast Pork which was beautiful I LOVE CRACKLE and so does Troy.

    Anyway I'm now back at work and already can't wait to be home, I have been thinking how good it will be when I have a baby I will finally get to spend more that just the weekend at home. somedays I really wish I could be an at home mum , I know it's one of the hardest jobs in the world but it sure is the most rewarding.

    I was reading the newsletter yesterday during my lunch break and i found it uplifting and inspirational, I instantly went back to the office and shared these pasages with a few collegues.

    SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER       Leah Russell www.healingspacefengshui.com

    The question was put forward to a number of people on how they would create a perfect world if they had a magic wand. This was one I found to be most inspiring.

    "In my perfect world we are all impeccable with our word. We use the power of the word with integrity, truth and love. We don't take anything personally. Nothing anyone says or does is about us personally; it's a protection of their own reality. We don't make assumptions. We ask questions and express what we really want as clearly as we can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama and we always do our best. Our best might change from moment to moment, depending on out wellbeing- but we always do our best and this way we avoid self judgment, self abuse and regret."

    Pam Dowling- Writer, facilitator and celebrant.

    Another reply to that question I feel compelled to also share with you by Medical Herbalist, Homeopath and Naturopath- Barbara Bassett.

    "The problem with this question is that it contains a presupposition that the world as it exists now is imperfect. In my view the world is perfect already- it abounds with endless opportunities to experience whatever life each of us chooses. Shakespeare's hamlet says: for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so, We are each equipped with the most marvelous tool in the universe- the human mind- and with that power we each have the magic wand in question- use it wisely.

    I am constantly amazed at how far Leah and Troy have both come in life, They both were in and out of foster care and didn't have the most stable of home enviroments but they both, at such young age, chose not to let their upbrining limit their futures. My Husband and his Sister are the most inspirational people in my life and for that i am greatful

Isn't it funny that after being sick for about 2 weeks (bloated and now diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian syndrome) that i could wake up in the morning and feel better than i have felt in months. I woke this moring feeling great, i wasn't tired or sore or bloated and i was actually excited to be going to work. I feel like i have a renewed motivation and i'm not sure where it has come from but i love it. I have felt flat for so long and now i feel splendid and i don't know why??? but i'm not going to try and figure it out either i will just thank my lucky star and be greatful.
