Caitlin at her Leavers Dinner with her Dad - talking about Peas in a Pod!!
I've been told to get BLOGGING! as I have been a slack little blogger (that's 'blogger') this week - too many things to do and a sick kid on top! All the late nights of the week before last were just too much for Caitlin and she has had 'her' version of the flu ... Conjuntivitis, runny nose AND a cold sore to top it all off ... poor kid, she only just made it to the last day of school and even then didn't get there until lunchtime.
2005 has been interesting to say the least ... now let me think
We've been through the Bi polar diagnosis thing and out the other side, resulting in permanent employment for Craig and a new job which he loves!!!
I've studied sucessfully for the first time since college, but as a result, lost my recruiting mojo, which will have to return very soon in order for me to achieve all the things I want to achieve next year.
I didn't get a new job, have a new baby or go on an overseas trip, but have gained a new family and a new 'nearly' stepdaughter which is very cool.
I've put on 13 kilos since this time last year but have just taken off 6 kilos through 10 weeks of Weightwatchers, so there is hope for me yet!
I have been accepted for publication in For Keeps (sneaky peak above) and have a lot of scrapping goals for 2006.
I haven't performed in any theatre this year but have a couple of options up my sleeve for next year.
All in all, life is good! Roll on 2006 and my big 4 0!!
