lazy sunday

Given how cold it has been here lately I thought the picture or lazy polar bears where fitting.

Today I have done nothing. Non. Nada. Nix. Well I have eaten and surfed on the internet, but I have pretty much not lifted my butt from the cough all day. It has been so nice.

My husband wanted to visit a friend today and since I was feeling very lazy I decided to stay home. He left me this morning not showered yet in front of my computer and came back home about 6 hours later... I was still in the same spot and had yet to shower. I felt a bit bad then and have now got my self cleaned up.

I loved being able to be lazy though and since it is so cold there is not much else to do.

bad parents

Recently there has been a big fuss in the news about child neglect cases that has been discovered.

A few weeks back the police found 18 month old twins dead in their Sydney home. They had been look into their bedroom. The dad apparently knew nothing about this (even though he was at home) the mum's responds when the police found them was "oh, I guess I didn't feed them enough". I feel so sorry for those kids.

Then this week a family with several children who used to live in Victoria had their children taken away from them. The children are severe malnourished and filthy but it seems like they will be alright after proper medical treatment and care.

This lase case have caused the public to demand child protection do their job better and also share information with agency in other states. This family had raised concerns when they lived in Victoria. The neighbors had called the child protection, but when investigations started the family upped and moved to South Australia. Police was finally able to intervene after one of the children had been hospitalized which cause the authorities to check on the rest of the children in the household.

I will never understand how anyone can treat children like that.

Narnia

Hameed and I went to see the new Narnia movie the other day. We have VERY different tastes in movies so it do not happen often that we agree to go to the movies together. Anyway we did agree on seeing this one and we both liked it oki. The movie was not great but it was not bad either. It has been so long since I read the books that it took me a while before I understood what was going on. We both really loved the last song though. It is so beautiful I almost feel like crying when I hear it...

come on out

I added a visitor map to the blog and it has been interesting to see where people who read my blog are from. I was expecting one from Hommersaak, Norway (hi mum) and I think the one from Canada is Lisa, but I have no idea about the rest.

So If you read my blog please leave a comment. I promise I'll visit your blog in return.

counting down

I never like winter. Well except from the snow part. I do love snow. But I do not like winter as in being cold all the time, having to wear 4 layers of clothes and lots of rain. Not to mention the illness. I ALWAYS get sick when it is winter. I'm just now getting a bit better from a bad cough which has made me unable to sleep for a few night in a row. So now I am tired and cold.

All winter is good for is to curl up under a blanket and sip hot chocolate. Let's hope September 1st will be here soon.
