What a Week!!!!!

What a week!
I have been so busy and the week has flown.
Hope everyone had a great Easter! Ours was great, Quiet but great!

As many of you know we lost Family in the horrible bushfires we had here in Vic. Its been a very trying time for everyone but now it is finally coming to the stage that we get to say our goodbyes. I call them My Family and they are in a sense but not immediate family. It was My Uncles Parents his Brother and wife. Our Family is very close and I was brought up calling them Grandma and Uncle Donny, To me they were always my grandparents. My Dads parents both died before I really knew them and well Grandma and Uncle Donny filled in! So I would never say to them they were not my grandparents because that would hurt me as much as them.
We have been waiting since then for DNA confirmation that it was in fact there bodies, we knew deep down it was but as they were not able to be visually identified we had to wait for DNA. Finally late last week we were told it was them and we could finally put them to rest. So next Wednesday we are having the funerals,all 4 together, up in Winchelsea. Not looking forward to it and don't want to see the devastation the fires have caused in the area.
Another thing I am dealing with at the moment is My older kids and their father. Greg has been evicted from the unit he lived in for the last 9 years (since I left). He says he left because the rent was to high but a little birdy told me he just didn't pay and the house was a hovel so the owners kicked him out. This birdy also told me he lost all of his bond because of the state of the unit after he left. 4+hours cleaning needed! So He has well and truly stuffed any rental references he had. He has now moved in with his older brother, who lives just like him. The kids have been twice now and come back upset because this uncle yells at them all the time, they are not allowed to do anything, not even watch TV, and if the talk during the news there is "hell to pay". Another thing that has upset me is Lachie has no bed there and has been sleeping in his dads bed, this would not worry me in the least but Greg has been sleeping naked with lachie in the same bed! To me this is NOT ON!!! I was talking to my mum and auntie last night on how to deal with this,Lachie is very concerned and uncomfortable with it. Mum agreed with me fully but my aunt thinks I'm over reacting, its his own child its OK??? Please tell me shes so so wrong!

Tonight I found the courage to call him with my concerns, I said what I had to, He started to defend himself at this point I said "I don't care how you sleep but Not with My son in there! I am doing this because I believe its best for our children and once you get your own place you can have them overnight!"
He honestly didn't seem to fussed! So we will see what happens.
I would never stop them seeing him all together, he is welcome to daytime but at the moment not overnight.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and he disappear! No visits No calls I would gladly give up the maintenance if he would just stay away!

Now on a happier note, I have a job!!!
Well sort of, A good friend of mine a few months ago joined Tupperware. I have watched as her confidence has grown, how much she loves her job and all the perks and It still seems to good to be true! I have done a lot of research and even spoken to my cousin who used to be a manager of Tupperware, and well cut a long story short I have decided to give it a go!
I will be going to the meeting this Monday with her and signing all the paperwork. Now I just have to find the courage to talk to a room full of people! LOL!

Well I think I have yet again rambled enough!
Take care all
