~ Oh Bloody Oath ~

I just don't know where to start with getting ready - I'm trying so hard but there are some things that just can't be done until tomorrow - meaning tomorrow is going to be one hell of a rush....

And I'm still not 100% - maybe about 60 - 70% so it makes things even harder

Jeez you find out the true nature of people when things like this happen

As far as work goes the extremes of attitude are incredible - I have been overwhelmed by offers of help (and I HATE having to ask for or accept help) and equally amazed by the selfishness of a few that only seem to care about how it affects them.

I mean - I am PAYING someone to come and pack my order for me Wednesday - out of the piss poor amount that I earn from this these days. 
Next time 'I might say you know what stuff it - you will have to wait until I get back' - but then that's not fair for the ones that have been so good to me.....grr....it's ok I'm just venting about shit 

I will just be pleased to get there Tuesday, my cousins have had some arguments - there are some strong personalities there they are half Arab half Aussie - my Aunty was a pretty wild and 'out there' lady who said what she thought and was herself around everyone, no matter what.  
Their dad had quite a 'critical eye' I am told - so they have a bit of both :)
They are definitely the 'interesting' side of the family and have had more than the usual familys share of drug problems in the past (not my Aunty, the cousins and their father).
My Aunty raised her Granddaughter from a few years of age until now (she is 18) because of my cousins drug dependancy - both girls have been clean for at least a few years now, lets hope they stay that way.
She also spent several years not knowing where her first husband (my cousins father) was after he was arrested overseas for attempted drug trafficking many years ago.
She definitely had some colourful stories to tell us.  
Their lives were so completely different to ours as children.

Gosh I think I just need to make a list and try and work out when to do each thing without doing my head in too much - thank goodnes Big A is off work and can help - it's just all of the little things that will need doing.......

Toni ~ it's definitely fine - you have had a very hard day today. Hope you are ok...

Dell ~ she sure did. I think she held off until her granddaughter was 18....and then let go...
Thanks so much,
