Heart attack - Better Health Channel
A heart attack occurs when one of the arteries that supplies blood to the heart is blocked. The underlying cause is coronary heart disease (CHD). Risk factors for CHD include smoking, a high total blood cholesterol level, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and increasing age. A heart attack is a medical emergency. Call triple zero (000) for an ambulance if you have warning signs of heart attack.

Experiment in progress
I am experimenting with my kids. I have given each of them $50 to purchases their food for the next week. This includes their snacks. Why??? I hear you ask.... Well the truth is I am sick of hearing "Mum there is nothing to eat. Mum what is for lunch, tea or breakfast?" So off they both toddled into the supermarket. Miss M into Coles (so she can use her staff discount card, points to her for initiative) Mr G wanted to go to Aldi (points also to him as it is the cheapest in town)
Miss M purchased 1 bottle of coke for the week, well it didn't last past tea time as her BF was over for a meal and he loves coke. She tried to keep it from him by pushing the half empty bottle under the table so he couldn't drink any more.
Mr G bought 3 bottles of softdrink costing less than Miss M's 1 bottle of coke.
The both bought meat. Miss M bought 2 piddly pork steaks for the price of 2kg's of mince the Mr G purchased.
Miss M bought lollies while Mr G purchased a cake mix and 1kg of yoghurt. Now don't forget these kids are 15 1/2 & just turned 12.
I am not sure who will last the longest but I have a heavy feeling Mr G will. Both did have some change left from their original $50. There are allowed the use toilet paper, milk, eggs etc but all else thay have to provide.
Miss M had a pasta meal tonight with sauce & almost a whole bottle of coke (thanks to the BF Sam).
Mr G had rissoles he made from the mince and a mixed salad (pre-mixed packet). Mr G still has some left over for lunch tomorrow.
Let me know who you think will last the distance..... Or if you try it out on your kids........

Disappointing news
Who loves to check out Scrappers Haven when they visit Hervey Bay? Well ladies if you do you better go in for 1 last shop as they are being forced to close up shop by the local council (due to some nasty backbiting by unknown person/s business/es etc) but they will still be open via their web based store. Sorry to see it go :-( Best wishes and Good Luck to the owner/s.

Another proud moment in my life
Today it was my son's turn to make me Proud to be a mum. I can now appreciate being a mum.
We were shopping in the local mall and my son and his mate wanted to look in KMart for the NERF guns (newest trend for tweens) when I could not find them I had them called over the loud speaker when my phone rings. It is a friend letting me know he is on his way to the front of the store.
My friend finds me and tells me that she was beaming with pride also.
She was absolutely astounded that my son had found her and asked he to phone me to ask where I was so he could find me just seconds before my announcement went through the store. She was proud that he had chosen her, trusted her enough to phone me (he even knew my mobile number off by heart)
Thank you my children. I now know that I am doing a great job in raising my children, with respect (sometimes Miss M) and forethought to let me know what is happening around them and what the consequences are for me.
I LOVE YOU BOTH xxxxxxx

A Proud Moment
My daughter is a typical teenager, constantly disrespecting me & other family members etc (as you may aready know, read previous posts)
Well she can rarely shock me. Today she texted me to let me know she had an exam at school & could not make it to her TAFE course (which she does on a Thursday afternoon). When I did not reply (phone was on silent mode, I was at the Dr's) she phoned me from the school's office to tell me in person.
OMG she thought ahead!!! What a shock as normally she thinks only here and now.
So proud of her. xxxx Miss M.

Where have you been recently........
Well late Friday evening after a Catholic dinner for Good Friday consisting of crispy fried Salmon fillets on a bed of smushed peas & a good helping of mashed potato, wedge of lemon & a twist of orange & sprig of parsley (for decoration of course) we headed off for the big smoke of Mungar to visit with my mum & her new partner.
We arrived about 10pm. I slept on the floor while the 2 kids slept in the Queen sized bed (hubby was working all through the Easter break). Realising I left my medications at home I could not sleep. I was woken by DS's mobile phone alarm at 7 am. Thank you Son!!!
We did the dash into town of Maryborough & got a few extra groceries for a barbecue at my sister's & her boyfriend's place at Yerra. A good feed of seafood, steak & salad went down a treat. mmmmmm Yum
A ride on the horse lands me with so many bruises on my legs & thighs. No, I did not fall off !!! The saddle wasn't designed for big mummy's (I am overweight & I know that I am) the saddle I rode in was mine from when I was a kid growing up on a farm. G J Schneider saddle is a western style saddle with high thigh pads (pommel) & tall seat (cantle) which my big bum (I have have a curved lower spine at my coccyx - a fall when young did this damage, which makes my bum looks so big) just fitted in it the seat.

FOUND
Yes, FOUND ruler & scissors too.
Both my darling children had these items buried under 2 tonne of crap on their bedroom floors.
My son had my ruler ("but you said it was white, mum"). I went through his bedroom like a cyclone & took out 2 full garbage bags full of rubbish/crap/paper/wool. Under his toy rubbish bin (like those sold at Reject Shop) was my RULER!!!!! He helped me empty my scrapping goodies from 20 Feb visit & borrowed my ruler cause just cause & forgot to return it mum.
My daughter looked me in the eye on the way to school "No, mum I didn't take your scissors I have my own" but low and behold I found them on her makeup table under crap/makeup/hair extensions. When confronted with this she stated "I don't know how they got there mum".
KIDS WHO'D HAVE THEM!!!!!! If you do I have 2 free, toilet trained & mannered.

Lost - Sunday 20th February 2011
I have lost my 30 cm Clear Plastic with a Stainless Steel cutting Edge ruler with 1/2 cm or 5 mm black markings thru the centre. I love this much missed ruler. (add TEARS here)
Last seen at the Sunday Scrap Session. I may have dropped it either to or from my car, or left it on my table. Please let me know if you may have seen it or picked it up.
Many thanks in advance (should it return to its mourning mummy)

Happy 40th Birthday to me
As I mentioned in my last message I have fantastic friends.
This morning I popped into my son's school to see my friend Jodi (she was his Yr5 teacher & since then we have become friends). Also the school's secretary shares the same birthday so I had to wish her a happy birthday (as you do). The off to have a quick hot chocolate with Sarah (whom I have been friends with since our girls were in pre-school, way back in 2000) off to TAFE to enroll my princess into Cert III in Beauty Service (starts tomorrow night) a phone call later & I was off again to Gloria Jeans this time to have a cuppa tea with my Best Friend SANDRA. We did a little shopping in Hinkler Place & off to Spotlight we went, just because.
Leaving Sandra at Spotlight, I headed home & facebooked a little, had a quick cat nap before the kids traipsed in. Jodi popped in at about 5pm & we had a quick catch up (as we haven't really got together over the school holidays). Shower time & a quick dress & time for make-up. Miss M did my make-up & I went through every dress I have owned since 1990 (for Jodi to wear, can't let her wear her school clothes out!!) Miss M then did Jodi's make-up too, but not before spitting on and ear bud & cleaning mascara from our faces - YUK!!!! ("but it did the job MUM" she claimed)
Off to the Brothers Club for dinner with the girls, 9 in total & 1 girl. Sandra had me in a headband which flashed & stated that I am "Naughty & 40" plus a "Kiss Me It's My Birthday" badge. The other guest wore masks or name tags that stated that they were either SEXY, DIVA or HORNY etc........
I LOVE YOU ALL (especially you SANDRA) you have all made my day so thoroughly enjoyable. xxxxxxxxx

A lovely dinner has eaten by all, then time for cake, which I must tell you was lovingly made by SANDRA. As you can see from the above names you can guess what the shape of the cake was.....................
While we were all enjoying the cake a few elderly bystanders came by to give me a kiss on the forehead (well my badge did say to do it) before they & we all headed home.
I want to say a Huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished my a happy birthday, presents, flowers & cards.

Friends
I know my posts here have been few and far between.
I just wanted to let you all know what I didn't realise until recently. I have fantastic friends who love and care for me regardlessly.
Firstly, you want to know why I am surprised? A few years back I thought I had a best friend (she was my maid of honour) and I was telling her a story about how I mentioned that she was my best friend, and then she hit me with a 10 tonne boulder, she told me that she only thought of me as someone she went-to-school-with-friend. WHAT!!! Then why did she agree back in 2000, to be my maid of honour and travel 12+ hrs by bus to do it??? I didn't & still don't understand this.
So, since then, I have been very careful not to get to close to any particular friend for fear of this happening again, I don't think I could have gone through that pain again.
But, on Friday afternoon I found out that I do have many friends who love me. They are having a 40th birthday party for me tomorrow. (My husband is away and he not into having any kind of party regardless of who it is or why, don't know why this is).
Thank you Sandra (All Things Crafty) for organising this, I really do appreciate it. Yes, I did cry when Sandra phoned to let me in on her secret party in case there was someone else who I wanted to come along, because, I didn't think I am worthy of friends. And now I know I am.
So Happy 40th Birthday to for tomorrow (Just to rub my hubby's nose in it for not throwing me a party, slacker)
Have a fantastic day everyone. xxxxxx
