I know that she going to have all the test done on Monday when the operation will be i dont know. It will be the complete removal of the breast i do know that. One thing going her way is that it was caught early.

ok thats it for now

Email sent to me. i had a good giggle

Email sent to me....... I wonder if how true this is with me at the moment LOL Make putting things into prospective for you doesnt it......


With the hectic lifestyles we all live this is just a little something to make us think.

Subject: Can I borrow $25.00?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year
old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolity's.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After
about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and
he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of
the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Remember tomorrow is not promised. Share some of your Quality time with those who you say mean something to you. It really doesn't cost a thing but in the eyes of a child or anyone who loves you... IT'S PRICELESS...

Its uni time again

Yep back at the paper trail. studying....... or lack off studying hehehhe. Found out today i have to do for one subject a 5 week lesson plan. Hmmmmmmm this will be interesting.
Ok on the stitching front i have finished stitiching the Feb challenge but i have yet to make it up... It looks good i might have them both up together soon. LOL this month challenge was very very hard to decide from none took to my eye but hay the last two i voted for wasnt what i voted for anyway so i but this time cos i dont like any of them i will get the one i ended up voting for... isnt it the way thou' :) I have also been working on the How does your garden grow and i have been adding the beads as i go that is looking great after a short bit of frogging.

2008 is looking pretty much with lots of hit you in the face sort of things.....
Dave is having a stress test tomorrow on his hands. I hope things go well there.... We might not know the results until his appointment in mid March.

Both my parents are having health issues first my dad About 20yrs ago he worked with wood in treating it CCA(Cooper, Chrome and Arsenic) and he still having problem with that stuff. He also had xrays on his feet cos he is limping and he also had blood works done but i think thats more routine and he also had an EGC(I think thats what it was)if its to do with the heart then yes....

And now my mum.... yesterday she found a huge leap in her breast. she had done, a mama gram, ultrasound and they took some tissue..... will know Wednesday on the results...... Fingers cross. I havent told Dave yet so dont say anything....cos i know he wont cope......... i even told my parent s that i havent told Dave... spoke to boss she thinks the same as me dont tell Dave yet.... after i know Wednesday i will tell him. If is the C word then my mum will be at me BIG time cos its in the family. TOUCH TOUCH GROPE GROPE nope nothing there. hehehehehehehehehehe I have to see the brighter side of life... At the moment if anything this is making me a stronger woman. And NO you arent canceling your trip here Anna i dont think it will make any difference........... If anything it will be fun and i can forget what is happening around me for the month and enjoy life.

Until I know catch you later.

ok what i should or shouldnt do when cross stitching

Oh boy have i had some problems with one of my pieces in the last couple of days. I think i have frogged so many times that its time for Mr Frog to leave my house. I picked up a really nice piece its on Papilion(?) How does your garden grow. I have seen it grow really well with other people so i decided to make a start on mine yep i broke my golden rule for the year not to pick any other piece until i have finished all my UFO but i couldnt help it. Seeing everyone work made me change my mind. ( Yeap i am a female so i will use that rule we are allowed to change our mind) :) With mine i wanted to do the specialty stitching one and somehow i have gotten to far over my head and some of the stitches arent working out. I hope i can get there in the end i dont want another UFO in my pile.

I havent worked on my Feb change for a bit so i must get finger out and complete that tooooooooooo. I know what i want to make it up too but i cant tell you yet......... Wait until after the 22nd Feb if i am a good girl i will finish it then. hehehehe i still havent taken a picture of Jan challenge yet. OH i am so naughty. :)

Today i finished one of my essay's i am now concern that i answered the question wrong but thats what you get when someone answers the question laterally....... one down 4 or 5 to go i think. and thats before uni assignments arghhhhhhhhhh STRESS

I am counting the days until Dave sees the Doctor fingers cross it all well that he can go back to work. Arghhhhh I bet Dave still hasnt rang up the government dept he needs i just also thought of something and now i think he may have the possibility of having no job...... What and idiot............ he wont listen and now................ I am starting to hate this all together. ok off this sore point ............

Karen just letting you know that your mojo isnt here sorry. :)

Ok what shall i do some stitching or surfing........... no essay writing or i will never get to sleep. surfing for a little bit.

16th Feb.

Ok,

Well as you can see life or should i say work has been very busy for me in general. I havent been able to sit here at the computer much for the past week and a half. However at least with me working its paying the bills. With Dave we still dont know whats happening at least he now getting some income. Not very much at the moment but at least what he gets helps ( well i think it does).What he gets doesnt even cover a weeks shopping bill and that a fortnightly payment. We found out that his next appointment isnt until mid March due to 2 public holiday in March for us. think positive here Karen its not long now........ hmmmmmmm 4 weeks and counting.

I have been trying to do with all what has been going on is complete few like (about 6 :) ) assignments so i can say i have completed a introduction course to Child psychology. And what an interesting course that is not.............. :)

Ok onto my little world of cross stitching wellllll i am sad to say i havent touched any of my work. With the long hours i have been putting in i have just sat down in the chair and vegged out. I am hoping to get some done later today.

I hope everyone had a great Chinese New Year and that this year positive outcomes will happen for you.

February 5th already

WOW January just flew out the door. I have been so busy i dont know where to begin. The bandages came off Dave's hands the other day. He had 8 stitches in both hands. He say that his hands are pretty sore at the moment. I am hoping that has hands improve the Dr wants to see Dave in 6 weeks OMG he is already bored Hubby going free. LOL so that will make it early March before he could be fit for work. Thats if he has a job to go to...... at present we still dont know if workcover is picking up the bill. I have just given up even trying to work out who is going to pay Dave (Its going to one or another Govn department) at the rate they are going Dave will be back to work. Thankfully i am now back earning an income it not much but at least its something.

I have finished off Jayne's Attic January Challenge i wont post it here until its on the board. Yes i stitched it up over the weekend. and no i still dont have the picture done. I have been working on two of my cross stitching the UFO and my February challenge. that i hope to have in time but me been me will get it in next month LOL. I have been working on completing another UFO its my son's quilt. i have to stitch at least 100 buttons onto it. Job going cheap labour needed............. hourly wages hmmmmm none. LOL i believe my son should do the time consuming job. I think i am half way there as they say on JA 10 stitches tonight is ten less stitches later on. so 10 buttons tonight is 10 less later on. hehehehehe i will continue with that project on a Friday night yep i am a naughty person doing it then when we have our weekly friends over. Ok off to stitch on something. It's UFO night on JA so i should do my UFO but who knows what i will get up to. Bye
