Happy New Year....

Here's a snippet of our view of the Sydney Harbour Fireworks last night. They were spectacular.



And thank you for all your wonderful recent comments. I'm sorry I came across as a sad and sorry girl. I'm not really. I'm just down in the dumps at the moment. I have lots of wonderful friends.... and if I didn't have such ill children I'd probably be making more of an effort to reach out to them. But right now, the effort is a bit too much.

Boo was extremely ill last night. I haven't seen him quite that debilitated for a long while. He was asleep before the 9pm "kiddie" fireworks. Toto stayed up with me to watch the main ones at midnight.

Only one resolution this New Year. Survival. You know... Gloria Gaynor style.

Hey.

You SHOULD be sorry for writing sad stuff. For now on you're allowed to write about only happy things. If something bad happens in your life, suck it up and pretend to be happy. Got it?

No sorrow allowed. Paste a smile on your face and keep it there.

Seriously though....I feel apologetic when I write about feeling sad too. I think our society frowns down on any negative emotions. I think we feel guilty whenever we're not oozing with joy and laughter.

Anyway. I'm here for you whether you're happy, sad, angry...or completely insane.

I'm sorry your kids are still sick

Anyone who doesn't want to read about your real life and who you really are, is welcome to stop visiting you here, no?

People who come here do so because they wish to hear how you are and what is happening in your life!!

Don't apologise for sharing yourself!

I'm so sorry poor Boo is still so unwell. I had hoped he was miraculously better but WC is such a bugger. Poor baby.

Happy New Year Fe!

Fabulous montage. Sydney really is the best place in the world to celebrate the new year!

Here's to a great 2009.

I think its impossible to feel really happy when your children are still not well. Being happy is hard work, sometimes its best just to let those sad emotions in and then everything will feel a lot better when things start to pick up. I hope you get everything you deserve this year! Bring on 2000 and shine!!
