I don’t think I will post much about the devastating bush fires in country Victoria. Tragedies like this and others of wars upset me very much. I dwell on the horror of it all. I wonder of people’s last minutes. Did they suffer? Was there pain? Did the endorphins kick in so they didn’t feel a thing? What about the children? Did people have a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones?

I did find this feel good story in the news online -

Mother saved by climbing under floorboards

and this story – I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. Moron.

..because points is all my brain will allow me. There is much happening in the Tasmiya & family’s household.

  • I am an Auntie once again. Beautiful baby girl!
  • My certification letter was apparently ok as I have been granted a phone interview with the director of Hand in Hand on Thursday! Wish me luck.
  • School sux eggs.
  • I can’t really say I’m happy about this new economic stimulus package. It’s always nice to get things for nothing but I really wonder how this is going to stimulate anything since I think all we  will be doing will be saving any money we get.  How will you Australian citizens spend your money?  Why can’t the government build stuff with it..you know like HOSPITALS, spend money on public transport and SCHOOLS. I wish someone would just give me the job of being boss of the world – I’d sort them all out.
  • Work has started up a book club! Am very excited to join up. I had forgotten all about the joys of reading until I attended the Lifeline Bookfest earlier in the year. I have loved reading George Orwell’s 1984 (why didn’t anyone tell me how good this book is??) and the classic Animal Farm and now I’m onto White Teeth by Zadie Smith. I can’t say I am loving this one but it’s an easy read and quite funny in parts. We are deciding on our book club book next week. Excited!!
  • My boys are doing well – 5 year old has started prep and has taken to it like a duck to water. 3 year old is LOVING special time with mother. 8 year old is blossoming with our semi-relaxed approach to learning this year (he had a very difficult year in 2008.) I miss my boys when they are at school and I really hate having to leave them.
  • I have a big pimple on my chin.
