All The Small Things

So its been a while since I've written.

In a very poor attempt to defend myself and my lack of posting allow me to present a pictorial journey through the last month or more...

In no real order:

Mr. D.'s House did this:

Then about the court stuff he did this:

 

Although I won't really believe it until the papers are signed and I no longer have to worry about the whole going to court and fighting for custody thing anymore.

I got to take a lovely holiday to:

And I got to take my beautiful girl with me, which was awesome.

Unfortunately, because she was in the house at the time, any time we heard:

or similar, the poor little bugger freaked out. She wasn't sleeping well and it was all round revolting for her - but lots of cuddles and calming did the job, and she's been much better this week.

 

I've missed a lot of important peoples birthdays, including but not limited to:

Mr. D.

I should really say something nice, especially considering that the house went whooosh on the day before his b'day, but really, I've got nothing. He's a great dad. But he's made this last year pretty miserable for me, and it didn't need to be like that. So this year, its a very poor birthday message from me to him.

"Happy birthday - NOW SIGN THE DAMN PAPERS!!!"

 

Tink:

Again, another year where we haven't really connected all that much. I guess sometimes life really does get in the way. But with the whole new shiny:

You've had other things on your mind too. So happy birthday, and I hope to see more of you soon. (PS: Check your emails!!)

Mum:

You turned the big 5-0 this year, so happy birthday old duck.

We love you heaps.

 

And finally Meg:

 

 Megs anniversary came and went during my hiatus. I remembered, I sat and thought about her. Nicky and I still talk about her often. Her photo is on my bedside table.

I wonder if she would be pleased with us all, the way our lives are going?

But then I remember that Meg just loved us all exactly the way that we were, even when we weren't great. Even when we made mistakes, dated dickheads, or weren't very good friends.

I really wish that I could be more like that sometimes.

I wish we all could be.

 

 

 

Um, what else???

 

Oh yeah...

 

BB...

 (Yeah, ok, thats just a google image, but he does look similar to that in real life. Not the head, but the body. The head is cuter!!!)

Things are going much better with BB.

We're working on the understanding that he's got his stuff (still) and that we are just going to work around that until its dealt with and done. He's working really hard on it though, and doing a really fantastic job. Sometimes its quite frustrating, but good things are worth waiting for, especially if they are a hot, communicative, not-a-bad-bone-in-them, excellent in bed, awesome with my daughter, makes me feel like heaven kind of good thing.

So we're seeing each other a bit (not too much, not too little).

We go at each other like crazy people:

 

 

NO!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!!

 

 

More like this:

(I'm giving you that one CK, because I've been so slack)

And we talk honestly and A LOT. 

I'm reasonably happy with how its going - I mean, I'd be happy to do more with him, go out more, be really couple-y, but it isn't bad at the moment. Its a healthy balanced relationship. I'm spending heaps and heaps of time with my little girl, and with my friends. I have a life that is full and happy and busy.

And I'm loved.

So that's pretty damn sweet really.

 

So thats my catchup. Done.

Hope I'll get back in the swing now, I've missed this!

If I can get this blinking thing to go to the front page that is!
