....because my PC's still playing up with the darned 'pop up' box every time I click on something else; I'm being stingey and don't want to fork out for a Norton prog so I tried the free downloadable Comodo but the box is still there!! Aaaaargh!!! Also the internet connection settings keep 'dropping out' so I've been trying to fathom that out for the past day or so.........sussed that now though!! Yay!
I could swear but that subject's a big deal in our house currently; the DD has started coming out with the 'eff' word and the 'pee' word rather too frequently for my liking! Turns out,there are kids at OSHC who swear and nobody tells them/talks to them about it. Perhaps I need to 'let it go' but it's not nice to hear DD calling her brother nasty swear-names especially in front of her friend she's had for a sleepover. And how do i help her to realize that she has a more intelligent vocab than swearing? If I ignore it, she thinks she can get away with it and carries on; if I'm too punitive, I'm the one feeling horrible and she still does it!! If I'm blase about it, she carries on! For crying out loud, she's 8 and she'd rather swear in front of people than apologise- in front of people!- for hurting her brother's feelings!! Stubborn or what!?
So, of course, I now have the whole afternoon where I could scrap (I've done the ironing whilst watching the Martha Marathon!!) but I've got myself into a lather about the swearing.............let it go, let it go, let it go...................................................................................................................................feels better. A bit.
So, other reasons for not blogging- working,scrapping, shopping,house guests, tidying,laundry,weeding,ironing,mopping,cleaning and chasing after another set of twins in our house. This time it's kittens- Bill and Ted. Gorgeous, they are.
I've also been distracted by the reclass thing for the nurses career stucture as well which is just farcical really. I work as a L2(paid as L1) but I have to prove I do (according to the guidelines) and find/supply evidence which reflects that I have 23 years experience, 17 of them qualified and at senior staff nurse level running an acute i/pt ward and, prior to that, carrying a case load of 60+ clients as a case manager/coordinator!!! That's enough of that; it just creates angst and I don't need that. I have decided to 'go with the flow', 'let it be' and not let it define me.
For now, I need to make (temporary, no doubt!!)peace with my DD
jOy.JoY.joy. JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
