Making a Bed – It’s Simple, Right??

Last November, we finally found our new bed. It took a while to find it, but I’m so glad we didn’t rush and get the first thing we saw. There’s nothing like jumping into a beautifully made bed and snuggling in for a sleep.  Making a bed isn’t rocket science. It’s as simple as getting out of the bed, turning around and lifting the doona, giving it a good shake and laying it back down on the bed. Then you simply pop the pillows where they are supposed to go. Honestly, it’s less than a two minute job, free and a simple pleasure I love. This is the bed my husband gets into every night, whether on not I’m working night shift.

Seriously, it’s so easy, even my kids do their own.  After a night shift, this is what I look forward to on the way home – jumping into bed and curling up for a darn good snooze. Hubby has already left for work when I get home so I know that I will have the whole bed to myself.  So, if it’s so easy peasy to make a bed and if it’s a little pleasure that doesn’t cost a thing, how come I always come home to this?????

I wonder if my husband will ever learn to simply get out of bed, turn around and shake that doona?

OMG! I did it! I can’t believe I did it!!!!

Well, I’ve been sweating over this since I sent in my application in September 2010 and last night the wait was finally over. I DID IT! I’ve been accepted to CDU to do my Bachelor of Nursing!! I love working as an EN, but I just want/need to learn more.

I was completely devastated last year when I didn’t get an offer but, in hindsight, I’ve had a year to work in the field and I know now that this is definitely what I want to do.

It was nerve wrecking last night when I was trying to access the SATAC website and I was getting no where! I kept refreshing (just like everyone else), walking away and coming back to try again. The longer I was waiting, the more anxious I was getting. I saw on a forum that other people had found out they had received offers together with a nice little link that led my straight to my destiny.

And what was the first thing I did when I saw the message that determined my future??? I screamed, then I cried. Tears of relief, happiness, joy, frustration.

Thank you to everyone that has congratulated and “liked” my facebook status. Special mention to my awesome friend and fellow EN and Bachelor of Nursing student Loretta who posted this as her status last night: “Is dedicating this status to my lovely friend Natalie Matthews who got into nursing at Uni today. I'm so proud and excited for her. Now I have a special friend to share the ride.” I’m so lucky to have such a supportive friend like you - Loretta, you are simply awesome :)

Mary Poppins!

Well I’ve managed to complete numbers 11 and 38 of my 40 Things Before 40 list. For my Mum’s birthday, I got tickets to see Mary Poppins at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne.

We had originally planned to spend the afternoon in the city beforehand, but the weather was not being kind :( So, we started out with a cuppa at Mum and Dad’s before heading to the station to catch the train in.
IMG_0059Our first stop was the Elephant & Wheelbarrow for a coffee and a snack – honestly, we really didn’t think we could eat all those yummy steakhouse fries!!

IMG_0063Next stop, the main attraction.
IMG_0061 I have to say the show was AMAZING!!!!!!! The music, the dancing, the atmosphere, all simply incredible!!
