Yesterday I got into Trouble! Sometimes I write from the heart, and I write what I am feeling. I don’t mean to upset anyone, and I don’t mean to make someone feel sad. Yet I did. For that I feel like I Need To Explain a bit more.
I Need To Tell You Why
Yesterday I wrote about my feelings for what is going on with our family. As we now have to stay put in the Mackay area to finish off the Bus to get it registered so we have decided that Zachery (our second son) would benefit from a Part-Time Job. He is working at the local Petrol Station, and has two or three shifts a week.
Nicholas (who drives me nuts some days!) is in highschool because he needed to be with kids his own age, and he needs more direction with schooling than what I can provide. Actually he and I need a break from each other (see I told you I write from the heart!)
Then Cameron and Kyle wanted to go back to school. To make friends their own age. They are social boys and thrive on having friends. So I let them make the choice and now they are sorta happy – they don’t like doing the “School Work” but they do like having new friends. I would prefer to homeschool them both.
So Who Did I Upset?
Hubby. I got David really upset with what I wrote yesterday. He actually was very hurt by my words, saying that I was not thinking the right way….as we were going to be moving on, it’s just a matter of trying to get our old school bus up to scratch so that we can!
Sending You These With Love 🙂
I Need To Explain:-
Yes I know we will be moving on – it’s just a matter of when!
Yes I know that what everyone says about “Mackay being in your blood, and not leaving” is just their thoughts….and their jokes.
Yes I know that Zachery can get another Part-Time job in another town.
Yes I know that Cameron and Kyle can easily go back to homeschooling once we are on the road again, or find another school in another location.
I did not mean to hurt anyone with my feelings, especially my better half 🙂
Yes it was what I was feeling, but hey I do write here about what I am thinking/feeling/experiencing!
Maybe next time I need to be a bit more careful with my wording – sorry babe – didn’t mean to upset you!
But hey maybe it will be the motivation that we all need to get serious about saving every penny so that we can get on the road sooner 🙂
So that we can head to Western Australia as our next place to visit!
We have all learnt so much from Life on the Road, and I guess we will be learning more as we continue on this new journey….
I do know one thing – I am now getting stronger within to actually express what I am feeling, and say what I feel, instead of trying to be the placid one! Sure was able to do that with our younger sons teacher this morni (want to read about that – What went Down At School The Other day!) AND it felt so damn good.
Hope that explains everything a bit more from what I wrote about yesterday, and lets you know that I didn’t mean to say something to hurt you 🙂
Cheers

New Life on the Road
Lisa , there are times in our live we word something and it comes out the “Wrong Way” . You sound like a bit like me a placid type . I’m a pacifist and sometimes I say to myself I usually like to keep the peace but in reality I’m not at peace within and also say to myself ” what about me and my feelings now and then “? You are only being human and I’m sure David knew you weren’t out to hurt anyone . Even though we haven’t met ( but hope to one day on our journeys we will ),I feel I am getting to know all these friends we haven’t met yet. Take care Friend . Until we meet .
Terry Peck.
Thanking you Terry for your kind words. David understood what I was saying (after reading this blog post!!) but he was just making sure that I realised that we will be moving on as soon as possible 🙂
I too find that I am now getting stronger and braver at saying what I feel is right. It sure makes a big difference within! Being peaceful is so good, and healthy. That is what I am aiming for this year.
Hi Lisa,
I felt you were only expressing your concerns, and we as mothers are often misunderstood.
I saw your post as verbalizing your concerns with the choices you had to make and believe me it is the best thing to do, if you bottle it up it can then become a “problem” maybe show David before you post next time.
But keep writing your thoughts and feelings its amazing to look back and see just how much you grow

Hi Rita,
I wonder why we are (as Mothers) sometimes misunderstood so much? It happens to me a lot, but I am trying to change that!
Yeah I agree – that bottling up a problem doesnt help anyone 🙂
Thanking you so much for your support.
Cheers

Life is change – nice apology to hubby!

Thanks Jan 🙂
Jan is right. Life is about change, and we make the best decision at the time based on the information at hand. Unfortunately I’m not great with change and I don’t like making decisions! How did the boys go yesterday?
Hi Julianne,
Life is sure is interesting! I love moving on and travelling, but I dont like having to face people unless its peacefully done!
Cameron is loving School – has fitted right back in as if he hasnt ever left.
Kyle is enjoying his friends and playing, but not keen on his teacher! But that is another subject in itself 🙂
Cheers
Lisa
This is so sweet of you.. I just hope everything will be fine after this and lets just forget the wrong doings we had..
