CRASH!!....

Well...if there is anything at all that Ive learnt being a Mother...its never think everything is going smoothly. Last night Brent and Jamie were heading over to Jamies girlfriends when Brent hit a Kangaroo with his car...... and Man!...its not a pretty car (and unfortunatly the Kangaroo didnt stand a chance either) ....he came home understandly upset by the damage to his car...and is now back driving Ians car...until his can be at least temporarily repaired. The damage extends to a complete passenger side headlight, bonnet, bumper and side panel...... in fact its huge! Typical me inflamed the situation instead of reassuring him but I was just cranky it had happened.....and for a change Ian was the calm one. Brent is still annoyed with me this morning......even after my feeble apology ..... but all I could think of was the cost of repair...his innability to save......the loss of one of our cars again..... and the fact that if he had stayed home it wouldnt have happened in the first place. I guess I should add that neither Brent or Jamie were injured so that is obviously a huge relief.

Oooh...on a far more exciting note...look what arrived yesterday...the studio photos from Prom night........ how gorgeous do they look....pity there is a bit of shadow on Brents face...but oh well.
I guess its really not ethical to scan and share studio photos.....but it may take my guilt away a little if I add they were taken by Photos by Visage ....and that Im the worlds most useless scanner operator...so I havent done them any favours in the scanning process.


Its still quiet in the house without Mitch and Briony..... Briony sends me SMS messages everyday...confirming that she still loves me...and to pass on loves to Dad and Brent.... I love it when my phone beeps to tell me I have a message...and it always beeps twice..because her messages are so long they spread over two messages..LOL. Got to love having a girl..... Im still waiting on a message from Mitch...fortunatly Im not holding my breath.

Brent brought me home some Rockmelon seedlings last night..so Im going out to extend my Vegie patch this morning.....and as I plant each one..Ill be feeling guilty for being cranky last night...I guess thats pay back.

We have lost two of the baby bunnies.....they have just died..Im not sure why and all the remaining bunnies look fine......Im so glad Briony is away and didnt find them...although she is so practical it probably wouldnt have phased her.

I managed to finally get some scrapping done yesterday.....it takes me all day to settle to it...I keep coming back to check the computer.. for news on the Scrapboxx DT challenge #2 results....its doing my head in with the suspense......LOL

So my share for today is # 1 in my EDM album - At Home

I realise the journalling is very small so journalling reads as follows: Picturesque Lake Bonney..its not just an expanse of water......it now signifies my home.
It is everchanging, peaceful and scenic and unfortunatly something that I often take for granted. I have lived in many places, some have felt like home...others not.......But when I travel away nothing on my return looks more special than the lake...welcoming me home again.

This photo was taken one evening a few weeks ago...and is of Briony and her friend Hannah on the Jetty..... what it doesnt show is that they had to sprint across the lawn with one eye in the sky...because the damn Magpies were swooping....LOL

Well thats about it from me today...
