INDEPENDENCE, NOT TO BE GRANTED.

i don't know why, but lately i have been feeling, off. nothing health wise or family related, but personally, i feel like things aren't what i thought they were. and that's not to say that i was hoping to be a princess and have a big mansion with people painting my nails (hey, a girl can dream!), but that i didn't expect things to be so different! in high-school i had it easy. my clothes were already picked out (something i didn't think of until i had to wear actual clothes on a normal day - ugh (-; ), i had amazing friends around me and we pretty much saw each other 24/7 and things were just handed to me - i was pushed (in an inspiring, creative way)! 

university is completely different. you have to push yourself into the person you want to be. no teacher is going to say, "hey, georgie, remember to get home and do all the readings and the homework and i'll check on it tomorrow. ok?" and this is something that i've never experienced before; my own independence upon education. maybe i'm contemplating these things because i finish my degree in 3 1/2 years (yikes!), but i think i am also having self-doubt. and that is not on the career that i have chosen, because primary teaching is my passion, and it has been for a very, very long time. but that i may not be good enough to teach the future world leaders, doctors and kind-hearted people. 

 it could be because i am obsessed with Rokkie (a website for teenage girls - ha ha), but the girl who founded, edits and writes the blog, is 17! she is younger then me and has the ability to articulate herself in such a well rounded manner, that i am completely envious (read the interview with emma watson!). but even this guy, who might of wanted to me a musician and things didn't turn out exactly how he wanted it too, he has a great way to look at life - The Uneducated Opinion. 

maybe i am being silly (it could be because my exams are very soon!), and just reading into things too much, but i needed to get this off my chest. i know i am still going to feel off (it's the feeling when you have a million things in your head and cannot do anything about them) for a while, but i think i need to remember one thing; independence is something not to be taken granted.

LUCKY DAY.

saturday was a lovely day. some of my family members visited my little nephew william, and it was so odd, because maddy wasn't there (she was hanging out with friends from uni - too cool for us), so i got to hang out with will all by myself. and i loved it. hanging out with him, i have discovered that he is really...bossy. i mean i knew that he was, but since i hurt my leg, he just tells me to get over it and push him up a hill, and he isn't tiny. they also have dogs, and william is so funny with them. he likes to dance in front of the dogs, but not to close from them to touch him - it is super funny! though, he doesn't hurt them, which i think is good, since the natural thing for a three-year-old whose dogs jump on you is to hit them - good on you, will!

^^^isn't he a lucky boy to have this wonderful backyard?! he just has so much fun running around and playing in the "parks" (we were at the gate park and the rest park - that one was for aunty georgie)! ^^^

in other exciting news, a new babe joined the family on friday. well, not my family, but my sister's in-laws, but i am going to claim the baby us ours - don't tell them ;-). congrats to mum and dad who are the sweetest parents and are just all round awesome people. and little tadhg is so cute, i forgot how tiny babies are, considering edie and nate are just growing so fast and big! cannot wait to hang out with him, especially on mother group days!

SEMESTER ONE NEARLY OVER?!

as you can guess, my university semester one is nearly over SAY WHAT?! i cannot believe that it has gone this quickly! i mean, i can remember my first day when i was lost and i made friends with nice people. but, i am also so happy that it is over. twelve weeks of classes is really hard, when you have to include assessments and presentations, i can't believe i am still alive. though, having semester one under my belt, i have all the things that i have to get better at. for example, starting assignments a couple of days before they are due - this is shocking, and annoys the hell out of me! you would think that six years at  high school would make me justify starting asap, but no. then i start to cry and get angry, and my poor, innocent family suffers from my procrastination and delusion. so, thanks fambam, you have no idea how much i love you.

i have all these photos that i take on my iphone that don't ever go with a post. writing blogs are hard, especially when you need photos and writing to connect and mesh well! and, i just need to share them, mostly because i just love them so much! however, not all of my nearest and dearest are in these photos (that would be a long post!), so hopefully one day i'll get all of my dears together - that would be cool! Oh, and happy almost weekend!

love, georgie x

LIFE LATELY, ACCORDING TO MY IPHONE.

if you would like to see more picture, follow me on instagram! trust me, there are a lot more of them then these babies! i'ma little bit addicted! 

love georgie, x

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

it was a lovely day today, but an even greater day due to the fact that it was a day to celebrate mother’s! but, it is also a day to celebrate women who have been beautiful inspirations to people, either in their lives, or not. or, as maddy and i said, could-be-mothers.

happy mother’s day!

BABY SHOWERS!

i had only ever been to one baby shower, when i was 15, and i thought it was stupid. we bought the woman a joke present for her unborn babe, and everyone loved it because they thought we were being serious. i thought it was a hoot! but, now that i am a mature adult - ;-) - i love them. mostly because it is a time for women to get together and gossip about babies, husbands, and other womanly things. my lovely sister, alex, is having a baby – due early june – and she doesn’t live close by (why?!?!). so, she came down for a weekend and got all of her girlfriends together and celebrated this awesome event! my sisters and i went a little crazy buying her presents. i mean, they can’t expect us to not go crazy and want to buy every new born thing at the shops. giving lots of love to my sissy and cannot wait to meet the little babe (she isn’t telling anyone what she is having – but i have my suspicions). i love you very much! oh, and thanks coffee club for hosting it, i love your pancakes and eggs. and i am pretty sure my fambam did too!

^^^cheeky little man sticking that finger ;-).^^^ 

^^^edie feel asleep on maddy, and she stayed there forever. needless to say maddy loved it!^^^

 ^^^i'm dying just looking at this photo.^^^

 

love, georgie x 

p.s.

william, turned 3 on the weekend! he is getting so big, i keep on saying ‘i can’t believe his is 3’, my family is kind of annoyed with me saying that all the time! i love you little man, you have no idea!
