More Happenings............

Well back to last Monday and Bek's court case. We were at Frankston Court House (trailer trash galore) from 10am and at 3.15pm we found out that the little so and so had the case adjourned. How can someone who had over a year to face his charges get it adjourned so he can get proper legal advice? It is very frustrating. So back we go in August and back we go again until he has his day. By then my cold had flared up and I got a cold sore. I went to work for half a day Tuesday then had Wed off feeling very crap. Wednesday afternoon my sister and 2 nieces arrived from Qld. Taylor and I were at the airport and Taylor was standing at the door watching everyone come out, not exactly sure of who we were looking for! She hasn't seen them since August last year so wouldn't have remembered them. It was my sisters birthday the day she came so we went our for dinner to our local bistro - The South Oakleigh Club.
Thursday night Tarsha my oldest niece who is 15 and I went to Gold class cinemas to see Pirates of the Caribbean. We indulged and had a 3 course meal each. By the time I got home I was exhausted and so full of food!
Friday Tarsh came and watched Taylor go swimming. All the other toddlers didn't turn up so Taylor had a one on one which was great. Jacqui came up and we went to Chadstone for some retail therapy. Not that I needed any but wanted to get my nails done so I did that while Jacqui was in the self help section at Borders.
I said to Jacqui when were in there, I hope that my daughter isn't in the self help section when she's my age to work out what I did wrong In bringing her up!
I went to work Saturday and was supposed to work Sunday but too ANOTHER day off. (Lucky i have oodles of leave) Taylor and I went to Ocean Grove to see my Aunty Kay and met up with my dad and Tracey there.
After Sun Mon and Tues off work I go back tomorrow then my sister and nieces go home on Thursday. Its gone very quick but we'll be up there in August/Sept to see Tarsh do her Deb ball - very excited about that!
Haven't been scrapping much at all, lost my creative juices. Instead my Aunty gave me someone in the family to research. My grandmothers uncle was in Aradale ( a mental asylum in Ararat) He apparently spent about 60 years in there for murder (?). All I found out last night when I spent hours on the births deaths and marriages was that he was born in 1902 and died in the prison in 1982 age 80. Have to dig deeper which will be interesting. I wish I had more time to do my family tree, done a lot but theres so much more to do.
Tracey and Steph should be arriving here shortly to stay the night so best be off. Will post some photos too.
