be a better daughter

Sal every day you become a better daughter. Don’t keep striving just keep doing it. Relax I love you how you are.

My Mum and Dad are coming down to visit me this weekend and we are heading off for a weekend at the snow. We don’t ski but will maybe do some snow shoeing and will consume lots of hot chocolate and a bit of Baileys too. Maybe do a wine tour, but generally chill out and chat. This will be the last time I will see them before their 30th Wedding Anniversary in August. They are both so caring and generous, it is a blessing to be able to spend time with them. Sure, towards the end of the weekend I am sure I will be ready to get my own space again but right now I can’t wait. Will update on how it goes.

I have finally moved away from the city where I have lived forever which means I am no longer within driving distance of my parents. Now I am on the other end of Australia and it is wierd but we are already closer. I have been talking to my parents every second day or so filling them in on my adventures and it is really fun!
My Mum came down for a few days at the beginning and we had a good time suprise suprise!!!
We seem to have great periods like this and I love it… the key is to enjoy it while it lasts!

This year I have been doing a course in Youth Work. Today I told my Mum for the third time in 12 months that I don’t want to complete it. The last two times I have gone on further with it, got in the assessment and moved on but this time I think this is it… I have failed it. She is really diassapointed and angry… understanably, as she is paying for it.
I want to be a better daughter and finish it but it is really frickin’ hard and I don’t want the certificate much anyway. Bloody hell, it sounds pathetic even to me.
