I'm back!
Is it just me, or does everyone think 4am is an absolutely ridiculous time to get out of bed?
For those who don’t know – today was my first day back on the radio today, since I took leave from Mix FM since October to contest the federal election.
For those not too quick on the uptake – clearly, the election didn’t go as well as I’d hoped – hence, here I am!
I wasn’t sure what to blog today, so I thought I’d just let you know what I’ve been up to.
First of all – contesting the election was a fantastic experience. I met a huge number of amazing people doing remarkable things from Alexandra Headlands to Kilcoy and beyond. I also met every nutter in the same region!
After the election, I took the kids to Straddie. It was awesome, as usual.
Took the kids for a week to Straddie. Awesome.
For Christmas, John knocked me out with tickets to Jack Johnson. Mind you, following the mobile-phone-earpiece-as-a -gift effort of 2006, he really needed to pick up the pace.
My mum left home. Actually she just went back to WA for a holiday. Gabe went with her for a couple of weeks and has had an awesome time in Dunsborough with his cousins.
Milli got her first job, at Wendy’s Sunshine Plaza. Please be nice to her while she’s got her training wheels on.
Bodhi (hitherto – the world’s most useless dog) caught a six foot King Brown snake in our back yard last week. When we all freaked out he dropped the snake and it got away. Hence, I haven’t been able to go outside ever since.
Finally, for Christmas and her birthday, Jemima got Sing Star and the Hairspray DVD. Only the parents of an eleven year old girl who’s into musical theatre can really understand what we’ve been through, but suffice to say, if the radio station hadn’t paid me to be back at work today, I probably would have turned up anyway.

I had been waiting for your return....and I have waited sometime before I wrote this blog!! Again I am thrilled with your comments and they make me think constantly about life. I am sorry that you did not make it into politics..lets make sure we monitor the outcomes of those who got in...lets make sure they look after our community like you would have and lets make sure they put families before all else like you would have and lets make sure they give us a laugh or two just like would CERTAINLY have!
