IT'S CERTAINLY BEEN AN "INTERESTING" WEEK !!!

ever had one of those weeks....???
sometimes i think i seem to have more problems in my life than others and then again maybe it is because i always put all of myself "out there"....dunno.

in the ever-growing popular "point form" my week included
* my mother being assaulted by the man she claims loves her and a frantic phonecall from my brother, while we were on our way home from brisbane, saying she had run off and he couldn't find her. i told him to call the police and to have this "idiot" dealt with once and for all.
he did, they found her and then she refused to press charges *SIGH*
in my heart i just know it will be a matter of time before the phonecall from my brother will be telling me this man has murdered my mother and yet she STILL goes back to him.

* our friends broke the news to us this week that she has cervical cancer. it's aggressive and she is having a full hysterectomy in a few weeks. she is only 41, they have 4 small children.
the good news is that the doctor thinks that he will be able to get it all and that they have caught it early enough for her to make a full recovery. we are all staying positive but man...that was NOT the news i thought i would hear when they told us they wanted to talk to us.

* a close friend is having a particularly tough time at the moment after a marriage break up. you know who you are and you know that even though i can't "be there" for you in person that i am always here for you. stay strong, stand your ground.....you are a good person and deserve to be happy.
love ya babe xxoo

* GOOD NEWS - the ATO owes US money. after several years of monumental stuff-ups on our part, our accountants part and bad financial advice, they owe US money.
and without giving too much away - it ain't small change either.
*WINK*

* jake got the best school report.
glowing comments about his standard of work, his attitude in class, his caring attitude to others.

so proud of my boy - well done jakey.
love you baby.

* not much happening on the scrapping front. i am still waiting for my "elise" book to arrive - i hope it comes soon though. i hear it is great and maybe it will get me scrapping again on a regular basis.
i have to scrap an album of the grandkids this weekend for dad and erica's party next weekend.
and.....my darling baby sis - *hi louise* - has asked me to do "the speech" for the party. she tells me i am pretty good at it after i made a speech on dad's behalf at her wedding (dad was very ill and didn't feel he could speak) and made everybody cry.
talk about pressure.

so that is my "interesting" week.
a mixture of good and bad and that's life i guess.

hope to be able to share some scrapping with you over the weekend.
have a fantastic weekend everyone - whatever you do, wherever you go and whoever you choose to spend your time with.

wow what a week Shazz, and what an aweful situation to be in with your mum, I hope it sorts its self out and doesnt end badly.

My prayers are with your friends as well, marriage breakups are never easy, especially when there are kids involved,and to have the whole battle with cancer must be terribly stressfull for your other friend.

Here's hoping you have a better week next week. All of the people you have mentioned are blessed to have you in their life to worry and care about them.

Take care of yourself.

Hey Shazz you certainly have had a week!!!! I hope your Mum comes to her senses soon and ditches the jerk!!!! All you and your brother can do is pick up the pieces for the time being.
Well done Josh on a fab school report!!!!

YAYYY about the money from the ATO !!

I am so sorry to hear about your mum. My mother was also in an abusive relationship for years, and every time she left, she went back ! She is lucky he didn't kill her, though he damaged her spine so severely that she has had spinal surgery and is in constant pain. She cannot work, she won't be able to lift up her new grandson before too long and she can't ride her motorbike. Surgeons can't do any more for her because the risk of her ending up in a wheelchair is too great. The sad thing is that if she had stayed away from him, she would still have a good quality of life. I hope your mum wakes up to herself and leaves this relationship immediately.

I hope your week gets better.

Oh gosh Shazz, lots has been going on for you! I hope that your Mum is able to get out before anything worse happens. Domestic violence is such a serious thing that is played down so much and sometimes can end tragically! How sad about your friend too! Big hugs to you Shazz!
Fantastic news for Jake though!
