Tomorrow night my DP and I are leaving for Taree to pick up Grandma B and Grandpa B. The following day, we are completing the journey north to Coolangatta. The reason for the big trip is to go to a big music and dance festival (and cars, called wintersun)
I have packed and DP is currently packing because he has work all tomorrow and then we need to pack for DS. phew. I don't know how Grandma B and Grandpa B are going to fit there things in as well. . we are going to stay for 3 nights.
Babies take up so much room in a car!

Keen for tafe to start
I registered a place in a tafe course and now I need to pay for it. Its $200 and unfortunately not subsidised by the governement. that is because it is a different kind of tafe qualification. (I reckon they should still be at least partially subsidised , but what can I do) . It is called interior design (tafe plus statement)
Starts in August. I sort of wanted to start sooner I have my book ready and have ready some interior design magazine already :-) I'm feeling keener than mustard.

I am a cow . . moo
I am sitting here expressing milk for my ds. I absolutely hate doing it. It feels like a time wasting vortex where I have to sit in an uncomfortable position for 20 mins with only one hand free. in this instance I am typing one handed.
I wouldnt mind so much if I had a decent supply but I don't. I only get about 15 - 20 mls per side. its very distressing for me not being able to provide for my baby boy. He gets most of his bottles filled with formula instead. I dont understand how my measly amount of milk could be so damn important to his health.

Overactive middle of the night
I am up very late because my mind is being over active for this time of night. the family is asleep except for ds who i can hear in his bedroom making ahhs and oos. He has just been fed and changed (and cuddled) so he should *crosses fingers* go back to sleep on his own soon. because the adults and preteen in the household are all sleeping I am trying not to bang the keys on the keyboard to heavily. nor am I chewing my food. or making noise with the spoon louder than I need to.
I dislike being up at this time. Mostly its because I will be hungry through the "sleeping time" and eat something . this morning I'm eating apricot weetbix cereal. Its just a little earlier than i would normally eat it. I don't like this extra eating because I am obese and trying to lose weight. unfortunately this time of the few comes with little self control.
Another reason is obviously that I will feel horrible and want to have a sleep when everyone else wakes up. despite both these good reasons to be asleep at this time, I am awake and tapping away at the computer trying to vent a bit.
My mind feels quite active and excited about a potential house that I can really see myself, dp and ds living in. Its the darling house that I described in the 1st blog. Another thing I am awake over is not having a job. I want to be employed part time hours in something I can enjoy. I'm not completely worried about the pay but I would prefer to get a wage rather than volunteer because i have been a volunteer for a long time and its time to make some money.
I know i should worry more about being a mum to my ds who was born preemie in March and has been with us at home for only a few weeks. despite this I still think about being employed.
One thing that is a major barrier to employment, is my age and lack of relevant experience. I would love to be given the same chance that a high school aged kid gets in a shop somewhere, selling things. When I handed out CVs and cover letters, I got no interest (even in christmas rush time). It was really disheartening.
