Me and My Family

Hi,

I am 36 years old. My daughter  is 10 1/2 and my son almost 5. Both of them are completely different and offer some amazing challenges every day. Who ever thought that parenting would be so hard!  My other child at heart is 39.

                                                             

The first time I set eyes on my daughter I completely understood what unconditional love was. THANKYOU. It has made living a whole lot nicer.

My son taught me that not everything goes my way! THANKYOU (begrudgingly) That is still a struggle.

My husband and I have been together for 18 years. Our lives together are always changing, we are both self employed, me as a remedial therapist, and my husband has a printing business.I love my life most of the time. I work  3-4 days a week which I find really exhausting but love it just the same. I don't know how you full time mums/dads who are also full time employed do this.Probably from the smiles they give you and the " I Love you"s. And perhaps from the belief that our children CAN make a difference.

I am blessed to have three wonderful people in my life and I am looking forward to sharing all my trials and tribulations as well as reading yours!

P.S. I am a complete dummy when it comes to computers, sorry in advance. The other stuff people have learnt to live with!

THE MINTIBUG IS BITING

Comment Published at 20:2320:232 comments2 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

    It has been such a long time since I have had a good look at what is going on here. As I read some of the current advice and the questions I can feel that mintibug luring me back into hours of reading and replying. It has been great to see some oldies are still here and how many new members there are now. CONGRATS minti on the award, you guys must be so proud. I am loving  the changes that have been made.

   Update on me; well I am still working four to five days a week which has been a real challenge. And as I work in three different locations, in a couple of different roles, my brain gets very confused some days. My children are very well, and seem to be happier than ever before. I think it helps having time apart. When we are together, I try and make it as fun as I can. Though I love my work, I feel intensely guilty about leaving them. I love coming together as a family on the weekends. No rushing to get to school, no homework, no structure. Bliss.

Well, that's it for now. Yep, I am looking forward to signing in tomorrow

Is that the date already!!

Comment Published at 16:2116:211 comments1 comments43 Visits43 VisitsReport

Boy has this year flown by already. I am already writting things in my diary for September! It seems that when you plan the year away it goes by much more quickly than if you live it from day to day. I am now working four days a week and luckily I have found two lovely women who understand that I need and insist on flexiblity. This means that I can take the whole of the Christmas holidays off, and have my daughter come to work with me during the term holidays. Bless them. It has been such a long time since I have been online and so many people I want to catch up with. I am dreading looking at the watchlist. Take care everyone!

Gonna wash the blues away

Comment Published at 22:1222:122 comments2 comments134 Visits134 VisitsReport
So ok, I have been shitty for the last couple of weeks. I will be the first to admit that I am a pretty moody person. But things have been tough. My mum has justed moved away, my dad and I , well that's a whole weeks worth of heavy duty blog there, and things are pretty strained between my husband and I. So I have let things get the better of me and obviously this affects they way I would normally react to different situations. I DON'T LIKE IT! So I am going to get off Minti, and go and have a huge wash. I am going to shave my atrociously thick hairy legs and wash my hair and then come out of the bathroom a new women. When my husband comes home I will greet him with a kiss a cuddle and a beer. Oh I feel better already. Bye
