September Goals

by Bette_H, in category General

I had a look back at my goals for August.  And realised that I had not really met any of them!  I particularly missed the blogging goal!  And the goal to organise my study!  The end of term is always busy, so although I have some fairly spectacular goals in mind, I am also aware… Read More

July Goals

by Bette_H, in category General

Hmm, I have just reviewed my June goals, and realised that I did not meet any of them.  Ouch!  Can I just say that I had some major complications during June?  Not a good enough excuse?  I have to agree!  Again, ouch!   My July Goals: blog more regularly (I wonder how often this will… Read More

Goals

by Bette_H, in category General

It has been some time since I thought about stitching or organising goals.  Let’s face it, I am so tired after a fall day of teaching, that if I don’t immediately start on my school homework, I am often falling into bed at an unreasonably early hour. complete Hooked on Exchanging piece. complete Blackbird Designs… Read More

Progress

by Bette_H, in category General

On this cold, wet, wintry day I finally stopped procrastinating and ventured into the realm of my study where the goal was to finally finish sorting through the last mounds of junk in my quest for an organised study.  Unearthing documents from as far back as 1989 (uni notes), I discovered that most of the… Read More

Stop the world…

by Bette_H, in category General

I want to get off… This saying has been running around in my head for the past week.  Although I was on holidays for 2 weeks, it did not feel as though anything had changed.  With 3 kids, 2 of them teenagers, one of these being into sport in a big way, the business and… Read More

2012, a year for doing…

by Bette_H, in category General, Musings

This post has been swimming around in my head for some time. I did not want to jump on the ‘organising in 2012’ bandwagon, I have done that too many times before.  I did not want to make promises that I probably wouldn’t keep.  I did not want to focus on one word, though that… Read More

Dogs …

by Bette_H, in category Family Time, General

We’ve had Stanley now for over a year.  He is the most beautiful, well mannered, smart dog you can imagine.  He was given to us when his owner returned to her home country and did not want to put him through the trauma of a 24 hour flight and quarantine. After the first week, when… Read More

Life…

by Bette_H, in category General

has a way of intruding when you least want it to!  School went back for the kids last Monday, but for me, I went back on Feb 1.  In the days leading up to returning to school, I think I was suffering a bit from blogger burn out.  I also needed to finish preparing the… Read More

Stitching progress

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, Family Time, General, out and about, Sewing Basket

Yesterday we had the last of the calisthenics comps for this year over in Gladstone Park.  For whatever reason, the girls were a little down, and it took a while to get them revved up.   It did not help that one of our girls had gone away for the holidays and still wasn’t back,… Read More
