My absence from the net & My Bday Party

No I haven;t been anti - net social! Turns out my computer had a virus ( yes it musta been all that porn! LOL). Hopefully we are able to pick it up tonight and it will be all ok!

Anyways, I guess you all came on here to hear about my much anticipated and talked about event of the year " My 20th Birthday Party"! Unfortunately due to my lack of net and also me blogging at work I can't post pics up yet..but I'm making a pinky promise to all my bloggers that Pics will be up very soon ( the respectable ones at least..!!)

I guess the easiest way to put my birthday in a nutshell ( as I am suppose to be at a meeting in about 10 mins is in DOT POINTS!!!) so here it goes:

* Bowling was heaps of fun..even though I was all stressed for most of the time and I sucked, everyone mingled as expected and the lanes were pretty cool. I am still not impressed by those few unnamed people who showed up late * shakes fist*. PUNCTUALITY PEOPLE!!! :)

* Thanks to Janice and Giusti for organising my cake - yes I am a baby and I wanted to blow out candles so nerrrh!

* Thanks everyone for presents..loved them! I got a lot of cooking stuff..hmmmm is that a good thing...or does everyone think i love eating? HAHAHA. I have heapsa cake/cupcake/cookie books! and I also got a very groovy sushi kit ( tho not sure how to make it....need to go to the librarY!!!) - ahaha i am such a nerd at heart!

* Spent wayyyy too much money at the Hush Bar. The owners were a bit too "fully sick" for me and the drinks were kinda expensive!! The place also was dead at 1 am ( WTF!!)

* Got blind drunk, felt like chucking on the way home in the taxi, kept goin on about "begger tets" ( janice/carol/taxi ppl all know wat im talking about!!), and passed out in sanel's car!!

* All in all..I think it was a success, there were a few things that happened on the night that I wasn't too impressed about but I had an awesome time!! Get Ready for my 21st PEOPLE!!! *woot woot*

**** To Ami & Gilly - I really wish u guys could have come but I knwo your thoughts were with me and thanks for the cards/wishes...really meant a lot to me! I better see you girls next year!! ****

and yes...pictures will be coming! Now off to my meeting!

A Tribute to Yummy Mummys

Omg - I opened my blogger and its gone all drab and dreary! What they hell happened?! I guess this is kinda good..makes it less inconspicious if I am blogging at work..not like I ever do!! *tsk tsk*

Well a quick update on the world of grace ( even though it hasn't been ages since I last blogged): I am currently trying to organise my birthday party...its turning into a huge soiree * so much for a "small" shing-ding"*. I have to get final numbers by Monday and some people are "ummm and ahhhing" and pissing me off. I mean hello...how can you not know what you are doing next weekend. GRRR or maybe people don't plan things as much as I do. Anyways, I still haven't made up my mind about the cake matter yet. I am very tempted to get one of those Streets ice cream cakes. Hmmm....

Now for my "ponder" of the day.... 'young' mothers.

I know this is a pretty sensitive topic but after one of my blog surfings and reading about a young mother's rant about how she has had to sacrifice certain things as she is a young mother I want to write that..in a way I really admire those young mothers as I think to take on such a huge challenge up..of raising a child at such a young age is really admirable.

I know some people might say..well hang on theyre stupid for having a child so young. Well No. I don't think so. I'm assuming a lot of young mothers probably did not intend on having a child at such a young age, but hey shit happens and when things turn into a certain path one day you suddenly have to look up and take responsibility for what has happened and realise that you have a choice to raise a child, to nurture a life. I think that is a huge decision and responsibility and really admire those who choose that and still can juggle a job, friends and family.

Some of us sit here and whinge about our social lives being too hectic with Uni/Work and worry about little things like "birthday cake", whereas these women have to deal with the complexities on how to raise a young life, often with society frowning upon them and most of the time without the support of a stable family or partner.

There is this single young mum at my work who works part time, gets up at 5 am so she can get her daughter to childcare on time and drive into work. She also works on the weekends as a cleaner and check out chick whilst also making sure she can spend at least half a day with her daughter. Often she comes in with her hair all unruly and clothes unironed. A lot of people laugh and bitch about her behind her back, a lot of the older people also "tut" at her apperance. But she amazes me as she just takes it all and is so nice to everyone. Always asks about your day, and always to help you out. Which is more than what I can say for a few of the other people here...but that's a whole other rant.

So pretty much I just want to say..."Keep it up" to all the young mothers out there who sometimes feel like they have hit rock bottom or finding it hard, because you are doing an amazing job. A job that some people in their 30s and 40s are not even doing well at. And to the rest of society I guess next time you see a young mother down the street, please don't jump to stereotypical conclusions because that girl has been through enough in her life and is probably one of the strongest kind of women around.
