Whoops!! forgot to add the picture.

Happy Friday!!!

After quite a few ginger splices, (pictured) and home made pizza, happy friday is totally underway.  I apologise now for any spelling mistakes.

So we are now on the 3rd Feb, still waiting for SUMMER, never mind.. now Im waffling!

We have had nights on the lounge again, (circle of life) amongst criticism about the fact of being woken in the night by yours truly as the girls were having trouble settling in at school (first week back) they were having sleep issues.

Apart from that, there was a two night in a row and the dishwasher was filled.  Hmmm.

Then I got cranky.......so not much has happened since.

I am definitely one of those people who can only do things when reasonably happy with the situation.  On the flip side, males can seem to do things anytime, happy or sad.  Something I can't quite get my head around.

Females seem to have a great deal more emotional feelings as apposed to males.

Bloody hell I sound like a writer for some gooey feely book.

Somebody shoot me.

Is is now Sunday the 28th January, Australia day ended up a fizzier as after cooking the fabulous roast lamb and whipping up the pavs the boys (I call them that as I believe they are dreaming of being Peter Pan, as they never seem to grow up) decided to do whatever they want and did not come home for the fabulous dinner, as what would normally take 20mins to put a boat away, took about 1.5 hours and some necessary fishing was done on the way back to the boat ramp. So unimpressed I had no intention of following through with my intentions.

I seriously think they cannot have their cake and eat it.

And so, the circle goes around.  Falling asleep on the lounge over the next two nights.

However, last night did happen AND today some things actually got done around the house.  But of course not without phsyco analysing my every word this morning, but once over this, he seemed to be ok ish.

Maybe they really are simple............(take that any way you wish).

Figured out how to put photos on, and these are from Australia Day.

AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

Well the first night was a success however, last night was a no go.  I think this is going to be more of a challenge than I expected.  Maybe the wine consumption was lacking.

We are off in the overcast weather today for a happy family day out with friends.  Well at least the girls and I will be happy.  I have already had comments at me this morning, but I am the one who needs to brush them off with the feather duster and keep being my happy alcohol driven self.

When we return from the fun filled, swimming, eating, drinking adventure, we are going to have a lamb roast bbq and pavlova....

Tonight may be positive...we shall see.  This all depends on how much husband drinks, although that will not deter my plans.  I seem to feel quite focused on this...although I do get feelings of dread by late afternoon, I hope one day that I don't get the dread feeling but the looking forward to feeling, the type of feeling you get when you know that only good things will come from it........just like going to an Alannah Hill Sale and finding the perfect dress marked down by $300... who could resist that.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

24/1/12 - So for my first post, this blog is not actually about Trifle in May, although I will get to how I came about that name later on.  This blog is really about " After 10 years of marriage".  My marriage has been a challenge.

We are now at 10 years and things have not changed much for the last 5 years.  We seem to go around in circles, have the same arguments/discussions every 3 - 4 months.  The main issue is Sex of course.  I was told by my husband that men are simple creatures, if they are receiving sex they are happy and will be more helpful at home. So in a nutshell, I have decided to do some hands on (pardon the pun) research.  I am going to endeavour put out (as men would say, in their own charming way) as much as possible for the next month and see what happens with the happiness/helpfulness scale to see if what was said is true.

I think I am going to have to invest in a vineyard, as I am going to need a lot of wine/alcohol for this research.

So, this afternoon, I went to the gym to release some of my anger, and am disappointed I could not take it out on a boxing bag, but did manage to do an uncoordinated step class (not sure if I will do that class again), only lasted 20 mins there. On my way home I picked up my two gorgeous girls from a friends house, who poured my a very nice glass (or two) of wine.  Feeling much better (although made the gym session obsolete) I went home with the remains of the bottle of wine, but did not really make it in the door and went across the road to visit another friend, by then it was about 7.30pm and no husband car in the driveway so stayed a bit longer.  When I decided I should go and feed the children, I called husband to see where he was, and he was also across the road a few houses down, so we went down there.

Its now 8.37 (I knew this because I checked the time on my phone as we were leaving there), I turned to husband to see if he was coming home, he said "I will wait till the driveway is clear and I will come home" meaning when the girls and myself have walked down the drive and are across the road at home.  So at 10pm, I ended up calling hime to see if there was still a blockage in the driveway..........hmmm.

As I am writing this, its 10.49pm and husband is lying on the floor nearly asleep watching tele (hence the main reason he doesn't seem to be getting any, but cannot see this) so I need to stop and start the research. Firstly a quick drink and off I go.  Lets see what happens.
