Wonder What She Is Thinking?

As I sit here and watch Miss A sleep, I wonder what she is thinking...

This time next month our lives will be the same or very very different. We hope that the decision is made with her future in mind.

Many people believe she is meant to be with us but unfortunately we can't make that decision. We have to give enough evidence & prove to them that we will try & give her the best life we can.

There is no doubt in our minds that if it came to the decision that she was to stay with us until she is an adult then we will be stoked! She isn't going anywhere. (hopefully)

Our household just seems to run well with her here! It feels normal. It is a happy place & that's how we would love it to stay.

Last night she said she she loves living with us but asked when she will live with her parents again! This made me tear up as I don't have an answer... I sat and looked her and said "sweet heart I'm not to sure". I don't know if this was the correct answer but she didn't question it.

She plays in her room bossing her dolls around "You need to sit on your bottom" "Are you listening to me?". I pop my head around the corner and she looks up at me with the biggest smile.

She makes my heart warm, she makes me happy, she makes me feel me. I feel as though this is what I am meant to be doing & I hope I can continue doing what I am doing with her in my life.

Little Miss we want you to know we will do anything for you. That we put you first. We want to watch you grow into a beautiful young girl. We hope that we can give you what you need.

I'm Back!!

I'm so sorry that it has been sooooo quiet around here but there has been a lot of new things!
- I'm back at work :)
- We purchased our first home
- Attended several weddings
- Dealt with family drama
- Trying to Organise and pack up the house ready to move
- Organise what I want to do for my birthday (we are going away)
- I have been really sick for the last 2 weeks.
- Lastly trying to get a chance to sit down and just appreciate the life I'm living at the moment.

So there is a brief list of things that we have been up to in the last couple of months.

I must just quickly let everyone know how much I love, appreciate & admire my little Instagram/ Facebook community! They keep me going when I am no longer motivated, when I just can't be bothered!

This is just a quick blog post to let you all know I'm still alive and haven't jumped the blogging ship just my life at this stage has been a full on roller coaster!

Until next time (which I promise will be very soon) be good!!

Bring it on!!!

So today I got my roster for my new job as a Disability Support Worker! My first day is on September 17th & I work for two hours! Lol I laughed I thought for sure it would be a full on day or more than two hours! It gets better.... On the 18th I start work at 5pm and finish at 7am on the 19th, yeah that's right I get paid to sleep!!! :) I then have a day off and I must say I can not complain about my shifts! They are real good & still give me a chance to do my stuff during the day!

Mr C told me this morning that he is so excited for me to go back to work as he thinks this is just what I need, and I agreed with him. I haven't worked since December last year and ever since then I find that I have been feeling flat nearly everyday. It doesn't help that we live 15/20kms out of town so I don't go in everyday.

I'm so excited to teach these clients of mine how to cook, clean, budget, go shopping and doing what makes them happy!

Our lives are going to be sooo much easier now that I'll be going back to work, we have forgotten what it is like to have two wages coming in! I just can't wait to start our savings again that's something that I miss so much. Seeing our money grow makes us happy and that certainly hasn't happened for a very long time!

So until next time enjoy what ever it is you are doing & don't forget to give you're children an extra cuddle each night!!

About Me

About Me .... Where do I start?
Well as my Instagram followers would know, today I found out that I got a job that I applied for at the start of this month. I nervously drove into town on Monday for the interview, which to be honest was such a relaxed easy & interview! So the job.... It is a Disability Support Worker Position. I mentor young clients who are in out of home care. This could be teaching them how to cook, go shopping, be of assistance to them when they go to Tafe & Teach them things they are interested in, as well as soooooo much more!!

So that's not my only 'job'. My partner & I are also foster carers & we LOVE it!! We have recently gone through a tough time with foster caring but that has only made us stronger & more determined that what we are doing for these children is helping them.

I am not a 'mother' to my own children just yet, I feel as though it isn't something that Mr C & I could do right now & not something my body would handle, just one thing at a time. I would love to get married first! But that is only going to happen when Mr C pulls his finger out of his bum & finally builds up the courage to ask me! He knows I'll say YES!!

Like I said we don't have our own children but our pets certainly keep us on our feet. We have a beautiful grey, black & white Tabby Cat named Narla, a black Border Collie named Oddy & lastly a BIG/FAT pink Pig named Wendy. Wendy had 4 cute pigglets about 2 months ago, they have not been named. So thats a bit about our pets!

I'm so excited for you all to get to know me & Mr C better & get an insight into our hectic but manageable lives.

Until then, Behave!!

PLEASE NOTE: I am not a fantastic writer, I have never written a blog in my life & certainly didn't think it would be something I could do. This blog is somewhere for me to write & hopefully help others. If you have anything you would like to see on the blog please email me at beingamum1@gmail.com I plan on posting many things that will help other parents out there!! 😃

First Blog Post EVER!!

Woo Hoo finally posting my first blog post!
I have had an average day today. It didn't consist of a lot I must admit. Mr C & I met in town this morning and went to the bank. He went to work & I met my uncle at a coffee shop. We say there talking and having coffee for two hours, then finally I decided I should go & do what it is I came into town to do! I ran into a couple of people as I was walking to the car, & by running into I mean making eye contact & having to have a conversation. I was home by 1pm, made a brownie slice & tried to figure out what my first post should be.
I still hadn't made up my mind so I just decided to tell you about my day & how "easy" it was today, it isn't like this every day!

I will be sure to post again real soon (maybe as soon as tonight) to let you know about me & my life!!

Until then behave!!
