Sorry Marija, Mona and Matt and my big sis in New York, (I think that covers my readership?) I know you guys hang on my every typed-word and get withdrawal symptoms due to my non-blogging - but it has been ultra hectic for me.
I will try to explain why.
SHE'S NEARLY WALKING!!!
Everyone predicted my little angel would walk early. Since mastering her greased-lightning commando crawl,(she's too clever to hurt her knees on our floorboards), she's discovered that she can pull herself up and grab the remote, my food or anything else her curious hands can get a hold of. Her favourite thing to grab is the computer keyboard hence I haven't blogged in a while.
On another topic, I went for my 19 week ultra-sound yetserday and it was absolutely amazing! The little bubby was waving and kicking, but kept turning its bum toward us. Without sounding too mushy, it really is a miracle the way life develops. I feel priveleged that I'm a woman and can experience this. I will post a pic of the baby as soon as I can.
Now, my opinion on a few recent world events. Hey, I have to put my two-bob"s worth in.
The Asian Tsunamis.
Watching the destruction, heartbreak and utter loss the day after Christmas was one of the hardest things to see during what is supposed to be a festive time of the year. I know I was not alone in shedding pools of tears for the people who lost their lives, homes - everything. Without being too long winded, I felt proud to be an Aussie, to be counted as a person amongst millions who have such compassionate hearts. On the other hand, it made me ashamed as well. The whole nation was quick to react, to help. But I kept thinking about the poor orphaned, mutilated and starving children in Iraq who have had their worlds ripped apart - not by an act of God, but through and act of Evil. Why doesn't the world help them? Why aren't concerts organised, aid agencies plugging on TV every 5 minutes? Or the people in Sudan, the millions slaughtered in Rwanda not so long ago and the Palestinian refugees, stranded in camps, a no-man's-land for generations. Life is just not fair.
The Election of Abbas.
Thank God!!!
Can peace finally be achieved?
The South Australian and Perth Bush Fires.
The pyromaniacs that deliberately start these fires need to be strung up by their genitals over a steaming cauldron of sulphuric acid. Is it a sickness or pure evil? I pray all those people who have lost their homes will get the help they deserve.
Well, that's all I have to say for now. Actually, I can't stand smelling my little bubby's dirty nappy anymore. I'm about to throw up.
See ya'll.
