I discovered a stinky flower that I really like- it's an onion flower...it kind of looks like the clover in Horton hears a Who except it is a white, green and yellow ball on a long stem. Although it stinks like onions (well, it is an onion flower) i think they look beautiful. I may even start growing onions just to get the flower- I may even plant it in our front garden amongst the impending roses and azaleas.

I took the kids to Emerald Lake Park today- I even bought some bread to feed the ducks. I went to the local bakery and asked for old bread and they gave me a 10kg bag of bread for $2- some of that bread was fresher then what i have in the cupboard.

So we fed the ducks and i had so much bread, they must of filled themselves up so they started swimming away from us! We also went to look at puffing billy who was parked at the station- J actually started climbing through the barriers- and he got to the tracks before i realised (i had my back to him). When I got to him, he threw a huge tanty (a tourist was actually filming him because he looked so funny). We then took a walk along the bridge, but J was tired and being difficult so we went to the pet shop. I wasn't interested in buying anything- just letting the kids look at all the animals. After that I went home.

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you had taken a different path in your life? All those times you were faced with a decision to make, and made, based on emotion or knowledge- imagine if you chose a different path? All I can say now is that although I have made a few ilogical decisions- I think my life has turned out the best it would have been. I say this because decisions we make are like a ripple effect..eg If I had decided not to move from Preston, I may not have any children at this point in my life....or If i had decided to travel with my husband, in some way, could it have lead to divorce? With the decisions i have made in my life, I have ended up with a great husband, beautiful children and a fairly stable, safe and loving environment- what more could i ask for?
