I have been so busy and lost focus on so many things blogging is just one of the things that I loved to do but lost sight of its value to me.<br />
<br />
So once again I have chosen to focus on a word for this year. I have taken a hard look at what I am ready to focus on and find that I am ready to rejoin the world of being Passionate about life. For me, this will permeate in many different ways. Life is complex at best in my house and very little time for me to reflect on myself and the ones I love.<br />
<br />
So this year is it. With passion I am going to pay attention to my life.<br />

I think I must have bought shares in a pharmacy trying hard to clear the toes of one daughter from this fungi. So she googled, yes was desperate enough to use Dr Google, a home spun remedy. White vinegar in hot water. <br />
<br />

<br />
With bucket in hand and still some coins in my wallet as vinegar is relatively cheap to purchase. Dilligently sitting for 20 minutes at a time soaking her toes in the hope for a cute. Finally after still no success a visit to the doctor informed us that the cheapest remedy was the beach. Yes you read it here time at the beach in the fresh salty air, salt water of the ocean and bare feet was the most reliable cure. Hmmmmm I wish I had known that earlier.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070651334664091566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950541929468477524.post-29183011644212806762016-03-08T22:02:00.001+13:002016-03-08T22:02:29.822+13:00Wordless Wednesday 9 MarchYum......nothing more to be said.<br />

Not that I get much time to browse the web but just sometimes some things stick and are worth pinning or bookmarking.<br />
<br />

<li>Since I don't have a stove and need to provide my son with home made baking I thought that Sunday I would make this. I am sure a whole bunch of 12 and 13 year old boys who are out camping will enjoy the <a href="http://www.bakeplaysmile.com/caramello-slice/" target="_blank">Caramello Slice</a></li>

<li> Here is nice little reminder about how to <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/14/parenting-tech-children/#jWP5fEv8D5qM" target="_blank">parent in the digital age</a>. If found this article on mashable.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> What about a quick tutorial on <a href="http://expertphotography.com/10-way-take-better-candid-photos/" target="_blank">taking great candid photos</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> There is nothing like a little colour in your vege garden. So my son, the vege gardener in my house, decided a little companion planting was necessary to keep the bugs out. He read all about it <a href="http://www.tuigarden.co.nz/howtoguide/companion-planting-guide" target="_blank">here</a> on the Tuis web site</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Finally. If your children are into playing sport then the <a href="http://www.proactivecoaching.info/" target="_blank">Proactive Coach </a>is a site you should not look past. I love everything that is written and it really makes me think hard about me and my role as a parent of children who participate. </li>

So the first lesson I learnt in this phase was think of how much time it will take to do things and double it. That will minimize any further stress being added to your life. <br />
<br />
So moving a house 30km to you site goes something like this.<br />
<br />
1.Here is another look at the house in its original site. The owners of the site had to clear everything from the site so the house could be moved off. The garage out the side had to be demolished carefully before any work could be done because of the asbestos in it. Thankfully we did not have to do any of this as it was in the contract clearly laid out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bbFeGw32oFn-HL9yAkdxwro7poPeszBAmIgql_xHjMyiq9ZORVh78Lpyvfwth5mDi8mw0ftddwV_0Nky4b8hLJBvpyzsoxthw08gliuk4Gqpu8O6FEB1SOTZJk7wUcTjGX5MMxLp-mI/s1600/2015-06-05+14.57.43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bbFeGw32oFn-HL9yAkdxwro7poPeszBAmIgql_xHjMyiq9ZORVh78Lpyvfwth5mDi8mw0ftddwV_0Nky4b8hLJBvpyzsoxthw08gliuk4Gqpu8O6FEB1SOTZJk7wUcTjGX5MMxLp-mI/s640/2015-06-05+14.57.43.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. A builder comes inside and prepares the house for cutting. I don't have any photos of this phase but you can see in this shot the vertical cut line between the top and bottom story along with the large brick chimney demolished.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwTRkPDR1fldClP9AblJgtPKsJovo9-UHb-hg7zy8Mr9Pd5E-0wjvefFRa4sz3_jy__KSIxLRQ03hEorc9aGUB5hInPJZXSjwh3ZDur3C0akZsOU2ARJZUPc2cMiR655xcvffx9TAymrI/s1600/2015-11-01+15.39.11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwTRkPDR1fldClP9AblJgtPKsJovo9-UHb-hg7zy8Mr9Pd5E-0wjvefFRa4sz3_jy__KSIxLRQ03hEorc9aGUB5hInPJZXSjwh3ZDur3C0akZsOU2ARJZUPc2cMiR655xcvffx9TAymrI/s640/2015-11-01+15.39.11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Inside because the house is going to be cut right down middle on both top and bottom story, doors and door frames need removing, a couple of windows need removing. and inside the house needs bracing.<br />

This is a much more invasive process than I thought it would be but there was no turning back. Not that we wanted to anyway. After two weeks of work the house was ready for the next phase. <br />

Just as I go walking down the road I see so many wild flowers and even unripe blackberries, I decided they were worth photographing. I know my phone was not the best camera I have but nonetheless it was all I had while out on my 6km walk. <br />

<br />So now I am guessing I dont need a flower garden I just need to go on walks around my neighbourhood.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now those needs were a little long term but really revolved around my able bodied children having a quiet place to study and a space for time out from living with a disabled sibling. Then there were things like spaces that would not easily get broken and made our life easier such as an easy to clean toilet, an easily accessible place to store medication and medical supplies etc etc.<br />
<br />
The only way we seem to be able to afford this was to buy an older house and move it to a place that was suitable to us. <br />
<br />
So that is where our story began.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We found this lovely 1959 house just waiting to be moved off site and to a new home. Hmmmmm...we had no idea that once we decided to take this house just what a journey it would be. A journey that we really are only a small part of the way through.<br />
<br />Phase one was to wait for spring to arrive. Logically you can not move a house you have cut into four bits when the weather is terrible. Of course there were all those decisions regarding changes we wanted to make to we could submit it to council for planning permission. Now that was very tricky especially since we had not lived in the house and only visited it twice.<br />
<br />
After much work were given the large package to deliver to council. Yes there I am with all that important paper work. Without it nothing can happen. The house cant go on the truck, it cant be put on the land and we wont be able to move it off its original site.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
After much stress and running around the paper work came through and phase two began. The moving of the house.<br />
<br />
We had already learnt some lessons.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>allow lots of time to council to work through the paper work.</li>
<li>banks don't want to deal with old houses that are about to be moved so creative planning is required.</li>
<li>patience is a virtue in may ways and this phase certainly reinforced that.</li>
<li>Remember your husband (yes I love his heaps) is your partner in this and is after the same end goal.</li>
</ul>
Phase two will follow Thursday so drop on back.

No one else but yourself. When you do that the windows will open and you will see everything for what it is warts and all.<br />
<br />
For me that moment happened 18 months ago when I took a breath and decided it was time to look after myself. A great first step ....acknowledge where you are at and what the first step is.<br />
<br />
So internal happiness ..... you know happy with yourself and that started with working out (yet again) how to manage the stress in my life. So I yet again started walking the roads. When I finally made a habit of walking ...no excuses ....I understood that walking was not only about being fit but clearing my brain and giving me the much needed me space. Sometimes that means walking the rural roads where I live, up and down the hills while pushing my disabled son in his buggy. All 40 something kgs worth.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So no excuses The benefits were far greater than I ever remembered and all this time latter I am still working at managing my stress.<br />
<br />
Next time I will write about how I manage when I am working and cant fit my walk in.<br />

So the sanity of menu planning has paid off. Without any further delay here is my menu<br />
<br />

Well we have been living in a house under renovation. It is a story for another post but let me say that the house we have was built in 1959 and its framework is made of rimu and native New Zealand wood. We have a large pile of undressed rimu sitting in a pile outside.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The pile of rimu sitting outside after being removed from inside the house.</td></tr>

<br />
Yes the wood came from inside the internal wall of the house. It is fulled with nailed and rough sawn. I had this ambitious project of using the wood to help make a table studying on. Luckily we had the top of the table (recycled from the laundry and nearly two meters long) and time on our hands.<br />
<br />
So armed with a tool for pulling nails out of wood, a plainer, wood glue, clamps, some screws and little brackets. Not much really....ha ha. That was the easy part. My husband and I have never made furniture. So I started with the bit I knew how to do.......remove the nails from the wood that had been selected from the pile. Then I got the measurements drew a couple of lines on the wood and there it sat for about a week with nothing happening. But it became quickly evident we could no longer think about this project. In our house with no tables in it at the moment, doing homework and study was an issue especially as the school year had just started.<br />
<br />
So the next phase started. The legs and framing for the table were plained to make them lovely and smooth and show off the all the character of the old wood.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Then there is the character of the wood. Just lovely with nail holes and these beautiful spots like we have on the leg.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
The top of the table was gently sanded back and trimmed to get rid of the water damage obtained while it was the laundry bench. Out came the wood glue and it was all glued in place, clamped and left with crossed finger to see if it would happen as we had planned. Then while I was at work, yes that's why there are no photos, screws and little brackets were put into place.<br />

For me I am a hockey mum. I proudly stand and support my children playing their chosen game. I love seeing them mature and develop, get stronger and grow their skill base. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately there are times when parents are less than positive on the sideline watching their children. So this has got me thinking about what my role is as a hockey Mum/ Dad.<br />
<br />
So my thoughts are.....<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Be a positive supporter on the sideline not only for my child but players from both teams. Great play is great play no matter what colour shirt the player is wearing. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Remember that if my child has not played as well as they might have, they know it. Sitting in the car being reminded about is not ideal and sure not supportive. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Celebrate their successes, even the little ones.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I am not the coach...the coach has that role and never the lines do meet.</li>
</ul>
<br />

Spring brings variable weather. In fact just a couple of weeks ago it rained so much that the very small creek overflowed with the help of a king tide. Oh yes and see that shed on the right. Yes the really large one with the white door......well all our house hold posessions are there. Underwater just a little. Hmmm and guess what.....last time we lived in the same temporary accommodation (thanks Mum and Dad) with the same household storage situation, the creek flooded. Yes the last two times that that creek flooded we have had stuff in the shed. </div>

When suddenly it hails and doesnt stop for 30 minutes. The grass turns white and stays white with hail. In fact the next morning there was still some hail on the ground.<br />
<br />
It was very exciting in our house. It does not snow in Auckland and the hail really behaved like snow. What more would you do with settling hail but to make a snowman decorated with leaves and sticks.<br />

I have been so busy in my house that I think I will be busy wiping cobwebs off until Christmas....and oh boy Christmas is less than 100 days away so not far.<br />
<br />
Well what has life been throwing at me. Since I last posted I have got my house ready to sell. Sold it in 10 days and then packed and moved a house load of belongings. Then of course we had no place to move into so my wonderful parents, once again opened their house up so that we could have a place to stay. So in cabins, yes two of them, my husband and I have a bedroom and in another is one child. Two children are inside each with their own bedrooms.<br />
<br />

<br />
So we have been busy trying to work out our next step. That has taken a lot of time and energy.but finally the solutuon to our long term housing needs has been decided. The next exciting adventure in our lives has begun.<br />
<br />
Our needs were specifically related to my disabled son and the need for my other children to have space. A place for peace and quiet, a place to study, and a place where the bathroom facilities are clean. I know the last one is an unusual item on the list but essential when you have a child who does not appear capable of using a toilet without flooding the bathroom. Hmmmmm<br />
<br />
Luckily we had access to purchase a piece of land but to build was prohibative to fill our needs. So we came up with a solution that comes with some risk. We are going to move a large house from a place about 30 kilomerters from out land. How very exciting for us but very stressful and keeping us, in our house, very busy.<br />
<br />
There is no doubt that I am going to have plenty to blog about in the weeks, months and years to come as we move this house on and fully renovate it. <br />
<br />
So while we take a break from the stress of ordinary everyday life with two teenagers (one being disabled) and tweenage boy I will be able to catch up on some sleep, make some new lists of things to do, clear my brain ready for some of those creative decisions that will need to be made to get the house ready for use to live in. <br />
<br />
Oh yes the weather is terrible. While we have no control over this fingers are all crossed in our house that the rain goes away so the ground is firm enough and the weather dry enough to cut a house into 6 pieces and move it onto site.<br />
