Have to borrow Pooh Cherries

Thankfully the weekend turned out a lot finer than the weather reports promised so yesterday was a muck around kind of a day with training and cardio in the morning, house work later on, a coffee out, some shopping and then down to the the RSL (Yes back to my work - go figure!) to watch a band that was supposed to be great and turned out to suck.... badly...


But never mind I got to drink water and watch pissed people and that can be pretty entertaining!!! It also reminded me why I don't do that anymore even when I can... sorry but no matter how young or amazing you look you look and sound like shit when you're drunk... so there is no way an old lady like me wants to look like that LOL...


Today was great so off we went up the coast on the bikes, I could not get on mine fast enough LOL... Even though it was warm on the Island I threw on a denim jacket, but hubby decided it was already singlet weather... then we hit the highway.. and the clouds rolled over us.. brrrrrrrr glad I had the jacket Heheehehehehehe

Although the jacket didn't help with the bugs!!! It must be bug season or something, maybe its the spring has sprung thing, but hell they were everywhere and doing the whole kamikaze thing on our faces.. I ended up being hit smack between the eyes at one point.. Wow that smarts (yes using the polite words tonight)


So we stopped up the coast for coffee and hubby hit the local 2nd hand clothing store and found a Lee Cooper Jeans jacket for $15, its a great jacket, that he only needed to keep him warm coming home as he has about five denim jackets already, shame he didn't think of putting one on when we left home LOL..

Ohhh and I had a cheat meal!!!! Ok so that's a huge exaggeration.. the coffee came with a jaffa lolly... and I popped it into my mouth and then just sat there and let it melt through my mouth... couldn't chew it cause then it would be gone toooooo quick!!! It was just orgasmic!!!!!! I didn't want my black coffee after it cause I didn't want to loose the flavour LOL

The ride back was warmer - and yes it was bloody hard to come back, I really just wanted to keep riding but my stomach made me return, I'm sure that's why Hubby suggested we not take food with us LOL - Back home and out of the cool wind I sunbathed for a couple of hours and then had a great chat with my Son who I haven't caught up with for ages... awesome, just awesome, yep totally awesome... to hear from him even though he has the flu.....

Then off to see my Dad for Fathers day, lovely to see him and Mum, I know how lucky I am to still have them both... They had been out to lunch with my Brother and his family and had had a lovely day....


soooooooo you are asking... pooh cherries???

Yes thank you Fifi because as soon as the following happened I immediately thought of your Pooh Cherries as they so aptly describe how I felt!!!!

You see when I got to Mum and Dads I was grabbed by Mum and dragged into the kitchen and asked to show them how to use and set up the new cordless phone that my Brother and Sister had put in together to buy my Dad for Fathers Day..... Now this is going to sound pathetic but I am gutted, hurt, stung and totally pissed over that present...

Gutted..... because due to the attitude my siblings have to my Hubby they did not ask me to contribute to the present, in fact they just don't contact me at all now and this hurts, it fucking hurts bad...

They don't like Hubby, and as far as I am concerned they don't have to, but because I choose to love hubby they won't have anything to do with me....

Now I also believe that people in glass houses should not throw stones... I mean my Brother is up to wife number 6... I have been friendly and treated every one of the six as a family member, I have even been stupid enough to lie to number 4 for him when he was lining up number 5... And even to number 5 who threatened to assault me after my Brother ran away to another country to wife number 6 and asked me to look after number 5 and I said no... Wife number 6 is lovely, as I thought they all were, and I have been nice and welcoming to her, hey its not like I haven't had the practice!!! My Sister has decided that because Hubby disagreed with her hubby over something that happened to my house she pities me and hates hubby and so no longer contacts me...

So anyway there is this new flash, digital, whizz bang, all accessories available, phone for Dad, which is kind of interesting since Dad hates talking on the phone and Mum is the only one who uses it, but they can not use it since my Brother gave it to them and left.... Mum and Dad are 83 years old!!! They don't know how to set up a bloody cordless phone... so guess who had to get it working for them... which I didn't mind doing... for them!

and then, finally the POOH CHERRY... I came home crying with anger because of how I felt about my brother and sister and the sodding phone and then Hubby picks up our phone to call his Dad and....... Our phone line is not working... my phone is not working...

How fucking IRONIC is that....

And honestly..... Although I am aware that my life is pretty sweet compared to others...

I am getting so very tired of fighting for a break every day... so very tired of there always being just one more thing to smack me across the back of the head... juts one small reason why I just can't quite touch what I reach for.... and today this has made me feel very very old and very very tired and ready to toss the goals and just be a Nana cause god damned it would be so bloody easy...
