HI guys
I am soo tired. Avocado season is here. Well at least we are finally picking. So the last three days, we have been cramming in some office work , house work and school work, then heading for the paddock. Then we've been picking, by pole mostly or cherry picker, and pruning the stalks off our Fuerte avocados.
Our farm is on the side of a mountain , so it is heavy going up and down the hills. Then, back to pick up James from Pre-school, do washing, Scotts exercise programme, dinner etc. So I am tired. It hasn't left much time for reading, journalling, hugging or chatting to you guys. I miss you.
I am taking Scott down to Newcastle on Fri morn back Sat night, for his second DORE checkup. Don't really want to do the 4.5 hr drive, but.. that's life.
I am proud of myself. I always thought I couldn't pole pick, but have found I can. And am just as good as some of the men here. We are trying to save wages by doing more ourselves. Drewe is in the office now, working on his Navy contract stuff. Life seems full of trying to kept head above water.
Mum was here overnight. It was awkward. Today we had a wee arguement that kind of marred it too. I was doing an insurance claim thing, that was complicated and I didn't want to do, and after scanning and emailing it took me about an hour, and I commented, how long it took. And she said something like "well you could have done it sooner". So I snapped, that she could have if that's how she felt. I probably overreacted, but she always makes in feel inadequate, and she seems always so critical of what I do / don't do / when I do stuff. Ohh well. I would not normally have snapped, But...
I am realising I am allowed to have an opinion that others don't agree with. I don't have to always make others happy. I am edgy though, and probably do need to be careful not to snap.
Have a good night / day guys. Hugs Robyn

Like I say Ive never seen an avocado tree, could you post a picture? It sounds blooming hard work but idealic also...
Im not surprised you "snapped" at your mother, if she can't say something nice she should keep her mouth shut; especially with the amount you have on your plate!! Sometimes it doesn't hurt to let people know when they are hurting your feelings, "ignorance of the law" is no excuse after all!? There may be better ways, but no one can blame you, certainly not me I am the "snap" queen when it comes to my mother..., for all the same reasons...
Anyhoo.., hope the trip goes well, thinking of you.. Hx

Good to hear something from you again. Figured you were workin your hiney off though. I'm glad you're becoming more assertive these days. Your opinion is important and I certainly don't blame you for snapping after a day like you had. Take care. Hugs :)

did avocdado grows on trees???? how interesting... you are most definitely entitled to your own opinions! learning to stand up for yourself is a big step... usually followed by the step where you learn how to do it politely (i'm still workin on it myself ;) as i'm sure many ppl are). good job though 'snapping'is much better than not letting ppl know when they're upsetting you.
