Oh, my poor unused brain

Today I started my Tertiary Preparation Program through USQ. Thank goodness I decided to do this before trying a demanding diploma or bachelor. My brain has used parts that have been dormant for many, many years cobwebs had turned into concrete...lol.
Okay, so maybe a slight exaggeration there but you get my point I reckon.
Normally when I'm reading instructions I skim through them, sometimes Ill go back later just to refresh...after today if some of these equations don't engrave themselves into tissue inside my brain then I know Ive done my best to make them!

Really what I want to do is finish Miss 11s doll bed. But prioritising will have to be done and time during the day scheduled a bit more so I can get everything done that I need to.
I think its just what I needed though, I was seriously going stir crazy having nothing to do like clockwork every week. Hoping this stimuli gives my brain the wake up it needs after so many years of staying at home and watching all the kids shows with my little ones.

Apparently I can do woodwork too!!

On the weekend I attempted making a wooden doll bed for my daughters blythe doll. I have never used a circular saw or a power drill (something I have yet to master). I finished the bed, might of taken me a few more hours than it should of and not exactly perfect, but I think I did pretty well for my first effort. Ive painted it white and made the mattress but I want to complete the bedding before I give it to her, I think she knows Im up to something but Ive been very good at throwing her off scent. She thinks its for her two younger sisters, I didnt fib I am making beds for her little sisters too. Well really just upgrading but for them it will be exciting enough to have a new beds to play with.
I really enjoyed making it, infact Im looking at making a few more pieces, just somewhere to store blythe doll accessories and outfits, organization for toys I love it.

The Laundry

Omg, the washing in my house is phenomenal, I mean of course it is there is 10 people living here. Its not that theres alot of it, its the chaos its in. Heaps of bench spaces in my laundry atm, when we first moved in here I thought that would be great, let me tell you I was wrong.

Benches get cluttered with whatever the kids want to store there, hubbys tools everywhere even the laundry cupboards are randomised chaos. DRIVES me fruity. They just cant get it through their skulls that its the place that I want to have clean so I can do the washing with organisation and ease.

Time to research some portable solutions that will work if we move....oh pinterest here I come :)

Please pray with me

Today is one of the hardest days my husband and I have had in a while. A few hours ago he got a call from his mum in Thailand, his dad has had a massive stroke and everytime he regains consciousness he has another stroke, things are not looking so good for him.
Now, we have to sit and wait.....to see whether he can get past this, we are worried, so worried. Mum over there all by herself trying to keep it together, hoping that she has someone to support her through this. I dont pray often but I am now, praying that Dad gets through this, that he doesnt leave mum. That we can give her whatever she needs.

Im praying so hard.
