Small bites...

Not going to look at the bigger picture - just going to take smaller steps to the ultimate goal :)

after 9am, and I'm still home -

am going this morning with hubby to send the money to Samoa - have to take it out of the bank first then take it to the place we are sending it through - we'll have a heck of a lot of cash on us...we'll feel super rich for about 30 mins, then back to super broke LMAO.

Then I'll go to class...have a couple of tops to adjusts and jeans to hem lol.

Enjoy your day people!!

5pm - well - money is sent. After being smoke free for a couple of weeks now, I needed a smoke after that!! I just felt anxious through the whole process - so much money in my hot hands....handed over for a very good purpose...dunno what it was I was feeling, a mixture of things, excitement, anxiety, nervousness...but it's all done now, had a smoke, calmed down...looking forward to the trip now.

I got to class just after 11am, and worked my ass off lol. Hemmed up my favourite jeans and two pairs of hubby's jeans (that needed doing and saved us $30 not having to pay someone to do it 'yay') I made another bias dress, and another over-top. Finished off a couple of the other tops...I am one happy girl!!

It's bloody awesome that I can make so many gorgeous clothes for a better price that what they sell for at the shops - and I KNOW that this stuff I am making suits me - is a one-off - fits well...

So that's it, gave my tutor a hug, I really like her :) And off I went, no more class for 2 weeks...I'm going to miss it, but at least I won't be staying home, I'll be enjoying the sun in another country wooo hooo!!

It's hubby's last night at work today too - he's taken tomorrow night off. So tomorrow we are going to be super busy getting things sorted out.

7:30pm - well that's lovely NOT - just spent the last 1.5hours driving around! Daughter wanted to go to the minister's family service tonight (actually we all should have gone but I just couldn't be bothered...not with all the kids, these things (Samoan family services) turn into ALL NIGHTERS!! So cos' we only have one car, when hubby got back from taking the boys to training, we all went and dropped him off to work, then went to Manurewa to take Miss 15 to church - it was PACKED!! Cars everywhere - double parked, triple parked - you name it!! lol. Then just as I am pulling into our driveway, I get a txt from her..."Mum please come and pick me up - I can't even get in the door!" So I turn around, get some gas for the car and back to Manurewa to pick her up *pheww* and this is all 'just' as the rush hour traffic is dying down!! Felt buggered to be honest - as if I'd been driving around forever!! And to add to my grief, I have to go and pick hubby up at 3am...cos I took the car to take miss 15!! *sigh* Oh well...again I must remind myself that there are other people must worse off and I should be complaining!! Which is so true - and after all that driving around, we are home safe... so SMILE :)

But I tell ya what - I'm really gonna enjoy this holiday that's for sure - I WILL enjoy every moment of it...relax and enjoy it...cos sure enough when I get back it's gonna be full on - not only with the kids sports, but with classes, I really want to start sewing more for selling...I'll be talking to the accountant as soon as I get back to get the ball rolling...so yep - I will enjoy every moment of my holiday :)

Tonight I'm gonna make a start on clearing out my room. Nighty night :)
