Sunday With Meg

It was the 15th Sept when Cliff picked me up and we drove to Mid
Valley as he said he would buy me lunch. But on the way he went
passed Meg's street and I said that I had hoped he would drive
past as I wanted to see ifshe was home.

So he went back and both her and Mick's car were in the driveway.
Cliff asked if I wanted to stop in and I said no as Meg had said
this was the only day she got to see mick.

So we just went on to Mid Valley and we ate at Subway.

We split up and I went to Target to pay my credit card and he had
a wander around.

I then went into Safeway and di a quick shop in the bakery section.
I bought lots of donuts that were reduced.

I then met up with Cliff and as we were leaving the car park he said.
"I know you want to go to Meg's to have a cuppa and eat some of those
donuts." To be perfectly honest the thought never entered my head but
once he said that I thought what a great idea. So I agreed and he
laughed and said how great he was at reading me and he just knew
that as soon as he got out of Mid Valley I would have tried to coax
him into going.

Went we got to Meg and Mick's I saw another car there so I thought as
they already have visitors then it did not matter if we stopped in.

It turned out that it was Clint McDougall (Mick's best man, though
no relation to us.) his wife and two kids. Their older daughter
had just turned 4 on the same day as Elizabeth (Karen {My son's ex}
and Chris's daughter) turned 3! Her name is Indi (I don't know if
that is the correct spelling.)

Meg said that we should not have stopped in as the McDougalls had
come up from Melbourne to visit and they so rarely saw them that
they were missing quality time with them! So much foe a loving
daughter who was grateful foe donuts, which not even the kids ate!

A "Little" Visitor.

After euchre on Monday 16th Sept (where I came last with 105!!)
Cliff and I went to the car. It has been very windy this winter.
In fact it is the windiest winter I have ever experienced here
in the valley since coming here in 1974!!

Any way as I was getting into the car I felt a leaf drop onto my
hair.

So as I sat down in the car I brushed it off.

But when I did so I felt a BODY and knew instantly it was a spider!
I screamed with the shock. (First time ever when dealing with a
spider.) It was just the unexpectedness of it.

But the spider ended up on my shoulder looking at me eye to eye.

So I yelled at Cliff to get it of! It was as large as my fist.

He paniced as well and brushed it off onto the dashboard in front
of me.

I'm screaming "Get it out, get it out." So then he did the smart
thing and came around to my door which was opened and brushed it
out of the car.

Before I closed the door I made sure it was NOT in the car and
just wanted to get away as quick as possible!

My heart was beating a mile a minute but thankfully I did not have
another heart event!

Mick and Meg.

Went to our usual lunch date with Meg, on Wednesday 11th Sept.
Rang her to ask if she would go to Morwell Subway as I wanted
to take advantage of the$5 meal deal and she sad OK.

I turned up and MICK was there.

Now it is not that I dislike my new son in law but to be honest
these lunches are the only time I get to spend ANY time with my
daughter on a one to one basis! So I was put out.

Turns out that he started working night shift at the APM, on
Tuesday night. He has got this gig for ten weeks and when
he goes to work at 4 p.m. Meg is still at work and when he
comes home at 1 a.m. she is sound asleep in bed. When she
gets up at 8 a.m. he is sound asleep. So when she has lunch
at 1 p.m. it is the only time he gets to see her and vice
versa, except Sunday which is his ONE day off per week.

So I am going to her place to visit at night but AFTER
the X factor or some stupid show like that.

So I can see her for TWO hours instead of ONE, but not till
after the end of the month as she has some work assignment
(to get her next promotion) to finish by Friday 27th.

Too Busy

August was a really bad month. I just did not seem to have a moment
to do my blog! Yet I am unemployed just imagine what it would have
been like if I had a full time job.

It was Tuesday 13th when I went to Video Ezy and got two DVDs for
Cliff and I to watch. I put one on that night and was fast for-
warding the previews to get to the main show. I said that there
was a preview on pitch perfect and I could show him Rebel Wilson.
He started to moan "Stop rewinding, just play the film "stop
rewinding" "stop rewinding" and he kept on and on, and I had the
film paused at the beginning of the film!!!!! So I just yelled at
him, stop whining I want to watch the movie and I want to HEAR it
I don't want to hear you moaning. So shut the f..k up!

Well Ross who had gone out drinking as he had the day off and
even forgotten that he was suppose to be here practicing with
the rest of the band members. He rushed into the lounge room
and SCREAMED at me to stop talking to his dad like that. It was
HISdad who paid the bills and I was the bloody fat whore who was
sponging off him.

Considering I PAID for every meal I ate at the house. I don't
think I was sponging as much as Ross whose 'board' doesn't cover
the grog, gas, water or electricity that is used in the house, so
he really shouldn't throw stones. Anyway I lost my cool with him
and threw the remote control at him, and he threw it back at me
so hard that for two weeks I had a large bruise about four inches
in diameter on my left leg.

Anyway Cliff turns and says "stop it you two." WELLLL that was it.
I had wanted him to say something along the lines of "Ross, please
don't speak to Gloria that way." but no not a word. So I just got
up and said "That's it I've had enough." I packed up the car till
it was full and went home.
