Tired... and Tax Time!

I really don't understand why I am soooo freaking tired this week.... I've had one of the easiest weeks in a long long time - with half my kids away on holidays.. I only have 1 or 2 a day... and in the case of yesterday.. she only arrived at 11am so it really was a half day at that... so why then, when I have to put less concentration into my job, am I just buggered... my eyelids feel like sandpaper and I could easily go to bed right now if Bella wasn't still here!!! If I focus on what's coming up maybe I won't be so tired!!!

Damian's birthday dinner on Tuesday night... an excuse not to cook and go out for tea... always welcome!

A weekend in Melbourne with Michael, Kylie & Oliver... please pray for some nice weather.... please....

3 beautiful nights in a hired camper trailer on Fraser Is in August... we are testing our options before we decide whether it is what we actually want... (I'm happy with a tent.. but it does take a while to put up!)

Something else exciting in here which is still to be confirmed... and hopefully a good tax return... more on that later!

A day at Sea World.. which I haven't been to in a very long time.. will be interesting to see... all in aide of my fathers 60th Birthday... (I don't need him to hold my hand on the rides anymore!)

...and that's about it for the rest of the year! Until the days off over Christmas & New Years...


Tax... why is there such a thing.... I don't like it at all! I understand that my tax payments (or lack of in this current career) are used for good things like hospitals and nurses, teachers, industrial development and Medicare... but seriously.... paying for Pollies wages, Council office refits and for Prisoners to have 3 star accommodation is beyond me! In this last financial year I have only worked and paid tax for around 4 weeks, while I was waiting for my Blue Card to come through etc... I know that I have that little bit of money coming back to me... but my confusion lies in all the money we have spent to set up this business.... yes... I added my receipts up and if it goes the way we want it to... we have a few things we can do around this place to make it much more comfortable... like put the patio back up and maybe put money toward a less guzzling car than the Statey... If it doesn't go the way I want it to, I will have worked this year for nothing, cause I really do think I have spent more than I have earnt... (waiting for the earnings certificate!) Grrr!!! The other things is I am going to have to pay like $200 to get the tax done.. no more online tax returns for me!

We are really hoping for a good news story so that we can buy Christmas Presents for the family this year.. cause without the money back.... bom bom..... you all luck out!

Here are some pics from our time at Montville where we celebrated our birthdays. Was a lovely weekend and I could have gladly stayed the whole week.. It was just sooo comfortable and homey! The spa wasn't bad either!

I wish I could put up pics of the kids that I look after so you could see how gorgeous they all are too!!! Unfortunately I'm not allowed to share...
