What? For me? Awwww...

Wow, I am humbled and amazed to receive an award from a fellow bush blogger.

 Thank you to Bush Govo for awarding me the Liebster Award.

I have also shamelessly ripped almost this entire post off from her site.  Which is awesome, by the way.  A very impressive piece of work and a credit to a young lady who is passionate about her job, the bush and her lifestyle.

This award is passed on from blogger to blogger.

The rules for the Liebster Award are:

• Choose 5 up and coming blogs to pass the award onto.
• They must have less than 200 followers.
• Give lots of thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to their sites.
• Post the award on your blog.
• List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites.

Now the tricky part - awarding the Liebster Award to 5 more up & coming blogs....

I may have to get back to you on that one.

And also in-laws (ILS)

I have heaps of these on my computer.  I save them in the hope of sharing them with other like-minded people.  I don't always keep references of where I have saved (stolen) them from.  So if it's yours, I'm sorry.  But I really appreciate you putting it on the internet for me!

Sorry all my loyal followers (lol!).  Things have been a bit hectic here & I haven't had time to post over the past 3 weeks or so...

We're mustering here at the moment - so of course in the midst of proceedings the MIL has to go away & leave the men to fend for themselves....

That won't do of course, so I've been trying to run 2 households (the IL's & my own), teach school to a 6yr old, wrangle a 18 month old & keep up with my community commitments.  As you all know it can be bloody exhausting!  Some help would be appreciated but (whinge time now!) I know I'm not going to get it.  I'm just trying to keep a little bit of time for myself.  I'm a terrible gardener, but I love being outside with the kids & the animals, so we spend some time with the horses every day, me grooming them and doing their feet while the kids hunt for frogs and tadpoles in the dam.  They have a great time, enjoying the freedom of 'mum's not watching' when they end up knee deep in the mud, while I quietly look on from a few metres away, resisting the urge to shout GET OUT OF THE MUD!, focussing quietly on the nags and at the same time keeping a watchful eye on the boys.  They love it, I love it and we all head in for dinner tired, dirty & mozzie bitten, but happier and a bit less stressed.

Hopefully, now we have trucked some of the steers away, I will have a bit more time to spend at the computer and entertain you all with my angst!
