This week I have learned that to be happy I have to allow myself to be happy. It’s a choice. It’s really weird not only learning this, but feeling and experiencing it. The moments I decided to let go and just enjoy I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I know that sounds cliche, but that’s how I felt. I felt happy and content. I felt at peace. I felt emotions more deeply than I ever had before. Have I really been restricting my emotions this long? I’ve just been going on cruise control?
So to be happy is not just a feeling. It’s also a choice and an action. I can’t just expect happiness to knock on my door and let itself in. I have to invite it over, welcome it, nurture it and accept it.

Levi loves the wiggles. We went to see them live in concert at the Elmore about 2 weeks ago. During the concert I wasn’t sure if he was enjoying himself because he just sat mesmerized for the whole show. At the end of it he was like, “more wiggles please!”.

Last night I found my old livejournal. Emo much, Ange? Suck it up sister.

I spend so many of my days off doing domestic chores. Where’s the time for fun people?! fun!!
If you work part time (in my case 3 days a week), are you considered a stay at home mum or a working mum? ’cause I’m pretty sure I have to deal with the crap from both those worlds. There’s joys too people, don’t get me wrong, but they shall remain nameless because a blog isn’t a blog without some whining and biatching.
Oh, and do people still call themselves housewives? Because I’m sure whoever created that little darling phrase meant houseslave, right? they must have.

So….we might be moving to New York. It’s a scary thought. I’d like to visit NY, but I don’t know if I could live there. I’ll do it so that Mark can have his dream, but I won’t do it forever. NY seems like an amazing place, but it’s so far away from home and family. I’m not good with big changes. If it happens I’m going to have a hard time adjusting.

Gah! To join pinterest I need to have a fb or twitter account? I refuse to join fb! F U Facebook. I have an unloved twitter account, but the disclaimer for pinterest said they’d be allowed to make posts on my twitter? I thought pinterest was a cute idea, but it seems like it might just be another way to gather consumer information? How disappointing.

Hi. A few months ago I was suppose to have surgery on my sinuses to remove polyps and fix a deviated septum. I never ended up having it because I got a pleural effusion the week of my surgery. The doctors office rebooked my surgery for tomorrow. The hospital website states that the hospital will call you at least 24 hours prior to the surgery to let you know that the surgery is still happening and give you info on when to start fasting etc. Anyway, I give them a call this morning and the convo kinda goes like this;
Me: hi. My names Angela. I’m just calling to make sure my surgery is on for tomorrow because I haven’t received a call from the hospital yet.
Hospital lady: you’re not going to receive a phone call.
Me: um, on the hospital website it says that someone should give me a call prior to the surgery to confirm that it’s still on and fasting information…when to turn up and stuff like that.
Hospital lady: what’s your name.
Me: Angela H……..
Hospital lady: we have your booking information, but you’re not booked in for tomorrow.
Me: Erm, okay I’ll give my doctor a call to figure out what has happened.
Hospital lady: just wait I’ll just have another look to see if your booked in.
Put on hold for 5 minutes.
Hospital lady: okay you are booked in for tomorrow. Someone will give you a call this afternoon.
Me: oh great, thanks!
Hospital lady hangs up.
Should I be afraid? Very afraid? Rude staff that don’t know hospital protocol. I know the receptionist won’t be doing my surgery, but still!

Sometimes I get this sinking feeling in my chest whenever I remember the ugly things that have happened in my life. I wonder if other people get that? Or do I just over think things? Meh.
I think I should set a new goal for my life and that goal should be the goal of chillaxing. I’m going to move to the sea. Laugh more. Live more. Love more. I’m going to be me. The fun me. The happy me. The friendly me. The creative me. I’m going to do all those things and be all those things because life is too short and I don’t want to live with regrets.
I read this article today about a police officer who had to use force to subdue an intoxicated and violent man. He’s being taken to court for excessive use of force. What a joke. In my opinion (from the information I read and the images I saw) he used an appropriate amount of force. If I was ever in danger I’d want that police man to help me. We need to support the police. It seems that if a police officer looks at someone funny these days they get taken to court. I have enormous respect for police officers, they have one of the toughest jobs out there. They deserve respect and the power to deal with trouble makers.
Ah lol. There’s a new video out of K Rudd swearing. Just makes me like him more. Apparently the video is a few years old though. I wonder why it comes out now, ay? Maybe someone brought it out to make Kevin Rudd look bad? If you ask me it makes him more appealing to the average Australian.
