I have been scrubbing and scouring all day. House looks good-long may it last.
Had a phone call from Mum at about 10 to say my son(who is in NZ from Sydney for the week) was calling in on his way down to Queenstown. He had his half brother with him...I was a single mother without any help from his father or contact until my son was 18, his father hadn't however told his family about him. 2 yrs ago I got a phone call from a girl and it turned out to be my son's half sister her father had just coughed up to the truth about everything. She wanted to meet him, which took about 18mths b4 he was ready to meet his 'family' So any way he has had contact with them and while here in NZ he has been spending time with his 'brother'. My son was worried I wouldn't want to meet him but I was pleased he wanted to introduce me to him. When son was younger he was always embarrassed about me being his mother, infact introduced me to school friends as his aunty. He said it was cause I was so fat...really does heaps for your self worth to know your own son is embarrassed about you. I said to him I was touched he wanted me to meet his brother. I changed my clothes about 8 times before I decided on something to wear that might not be embarrassing to him. I hope they drive safely on news tonight it mentioned the thick traffic on Wanaka highway, which is were they will be.

So all my blogg friends it would be awesome to catch up in one or other of my stop overs.
The weather turned really nasty this afternoon freezing cold rain and fresh snow on mountains about...is it really summer. Would be nice if it was cool tomorrow as I am working all week at my Friday job and it gets REALLY hot in the office in afternoon and if it is half as busy as it was last week I'll go mad. Just have to remind myself of the holiday whch is why I am working there in first place.
I'm not sure I am keen on the set up of the new WW site. I guess it will get more easier to move around it...don't like it aussie and nz sites mixed though.
Right SVU has jsut started so I am off.

Would like to try and catch up in Hamilton - will discuss it more when time gets closer:):)
Cheers Jaxx :):)
Hoep all goes well with the meeting with your son and his "brother" It is good he is proud enough and mature enough to want you to meet. Good luck.
My 6 and 9 year old girls met their 19 year old half brother (husband's son) earlier this year when he came up for a visit. We all had a blast and stay in contact. Hope all goes well for you.
Lovely that your son wants to share another part of his life with you. Here's my tip for keeping cool in a hot office (if you can get away with it): keep some slicker pads (you know, the ones for your chilly bin) in your freezer at work. When it's hot, slip off your shoes and rest your feet on a slicker pad - helps cool down your whole body!
Good luck wih meeting your sons extended family, I met my half brothers a few years ago which was really nice:)
Hope all goes well with the family meeting.
I agree with you about the new WW site. It is taking a bit of getting used to.
Hope all goes well with the family meeting and you and your son and his brother all have a fabulous time.
I am ashamed to say I was a little like that as a teenager about my parents. I had the most adorable parents anyone could ask for and all my friends loved them and I don't understand to this day why I was like that. I would take it all back to have some more time with my Dad as I miss him heaps.
Have a good night
Love Chubbymum
