Well My mother and I are not talking again and while I am not happy

about that I do not have ths strength to deal with her at this time. She rang me today and left a message and it was that she was back in Charleville and that she wanted to tell me 'all about what had happened in Brisbane with the family' as though I am some stranger and she is regaling me with details of her life. For her I am not a member of the family, just someone she gave birth to 55 years ago. Anyway I didn't get a chance to get back to her and she rang again in the afternoon and started...

Disciplined - Qld Style

As a follow on, I decided several months ago that I should no longer smack my son for anything. I used to patch him once, if he was really doing something that he knew he shouldn’t and it was more for shock value than to hurt him. In fact you should never hit a child to hurt him or her. It is more to let the child know that your displeasure at continued disobedience is immense. I was beaten as a child many times and several times so badly that I was bruised and cut from the strap buckle as well... Sign in to see full entry.

The redeemption of a first born donkey in Melbourne

I did not go to this event and had intended to but I did find photos on the net about it. It is fascinating and is a very rare mitza as not many donkeys in this day and age are owned by Jews. If we do own a male donkey that is the first born or first issue of its mother donkey, we have to redeem it. As a donkey can not enter the grounds of the Beit Hamikdosh it has to be exchanged for a sheep that will be shected or slaughtered eventually. Here is the link to the photos....

The Apology

I am waiting for my son to wake up to apologise to him and ask his forgiveness for something that happened yesterday evening. He was having a bath and before I left upstairs, to go downstairs to get his dinner ready, I put his fresh underwear and his pyjamas on his bed to be ready for him to put on once he got out of the bath and dried himself. I continued the preparations for his dinner as I wanted to do it quickly in order that he should get to bed as it was later than our usual dinner time.... Sign in to see full entry.

Families

Run tangled lines To hearts and minds, as skillfully we weave, building images on who we perceive them to be, They perceive us to be Someone different by far To who we imagine we are. Yet they may be closer to the truth Yet by far more distant Than we know. It is all a matter of whose Perspective we take. Sign in to see full entry.

Musings Post Shabbat in Melbourne

Just dropped in to say hi. We have both been sick. Nir has had croup and I have had no voice and been feeling rotten. Hope all are well and I get to see some blogs eventually. I am going to do a couple more pages of my RPL test for editing on line and then work on the Chronicles of Or to do some more work on it and post. It is growing tentacles in my head wanting to get out. (ONLY KIDDING!!) Just an interesting muse. We have on some of the bus shelters big posters about the dangers of ICE a very...

Well it has been a pretty hectic day and I ended up with a psychologist

discussing how to help my son who is not feeling well at the moment. He has an awful throat and I have put the vaporizer in his room to help him breathe easier. The inhalant is almost all used up but the steam will help his breathing. He has an awful croupy cough. I am at present debating whether to put him in my bed so I can keep an eye on his breathing or to just leave him in his room with the door open. When they are sick you always like them under your eye. I have taken him to see this Dr... Sign in to see full entry.

Well a day of rest and recuperation but not really..

1. I have searched for a new occasional care daycare for Nir so I can have a break from him and him from me. Not much luck as he is too old for them in the kinders. 2. I have repeatedly contacted my lawyer and there has been no response. 3. I have filled out a questionaire of 27 pages on my son for the doctor tomorrow 4. I have written a letter to a friend on the Gow School for Dyslexia in NY state 5. I have done two or three activities with my son and now we are going for a walk 6. I have...
