Going solo

So Jenni will be soooooooo proud of me. My first solo blog. Wow,well what can i say. The heat here in the bush is searing. It took the life of my daughter's beloved guinea pig today and almost took her companion. Tomorrow i am off to buy an air conditioner so i can bring her in out of the jaws of hell and keep her cool. I'm sure i as well as the menagerie will benefit as well.

I have to say getting used to nooooooooo shops is testing me. I never considered myself to be a materialistic person but i am beginning to rethink my materialistic tendencies. I am in desperate need of a futon and so perused the locally delivered Fantastic furniture catalogue thinking 'too easy'. So i think the nearest store is approx 2 hours away; and i thought moving to the country would save me petrol. Ha!!! The fact that i get heart palpitations when i walk past Go Lo tells me i am suffering severe withdrawals.

I returned to my new home on the prairie ( as spoken by my scandenavian hubby) hopping for some r& r and a little quiet time. Well less than 24 hours later my youngest Little Miss M calls me in a sea of tears begging to come home. Apparently life without mum was just too much to bear. Hmmm................ So the Viking and i travel another 5 hours to retrieve her only to wait 90 minutes in a carpark at McDonalds while Little Miss M and father navigate the Blue Mountains. Oh the joys of being a mother, ................................................little wonder many animals eat their young.

Love Cindy
