Oh my, if I thought I was busy before then I was sorely mistaken!!!!!!   I had no idea what busy was until I went back to work fulltime.   Up at 5.30 in the morning and don't get into bed until 12am getting 3 kids ready for the next day ..... I swear those mums that have 4 or more kids and they work I take my hat off to you all ..... true supermums in the extreme!!!  Anyway this is just a little blog I just wanted to touch Minti base and check on my friends and see if everyone was ok. 

Off to work I go again!!!!!!    

Some anniversaries suck especially the ones that deal with the death of a loved one.  Five years ago I lost both my wonderful Grandmother and my Father in the same year only 4 months appart and this week was my dads birthday and the anniversary of my grandmothers death.  I hate this week every year as it brings back a flood of memories that make me happy and sad at the same time.   Happy because they are such wonderful memories and sad because they are no longer here to share them with me.  I hate being an emotional wreck because I have no control over my feelings and everyone in my house suffers for it.  

Anyway this is life and we have to push on and try not to take it out on the ones that we love but it's hard when you get depressed about it ..... you get into a funk and just don't seem to be able to get out of it.  I think my hubby understands but my kids don't and it's so not fair on them when mummy gets grumpy and they don't understd what death really is so therefore they don't understand why mummy is so sad.

To my wonderful Gran and Dad   love you xxxxxxx

I had a wonderful day today I caught up with a very special lady who I haven't seen in over a decade.  She was my best friends mum.  My friend passed away when we were just 15 years old after being involved in an accident - car v pedestrian.  It was so very difficult at that time as my girlfriend was her only child.

Today bought back such wonderful memories of my friend and of the wonderful mum that she had.  We have spoken often and I always remember to send her a card for easter and christmas so it was wonderful to have her come over to have a cuppa and for her to see all my children.  I am so lucky that she is still in my life because it keeps me aware of what a wonderful person and friend her daughter had been to me.  I will never forget her.

May she rest in peace in love and light  -  goodbye again my friend I love and miss you.

Well it's been a frustrating few weeks here in our little household.  We have taken away Little Miss 3's dummy which has completely stuffed up her sleep routine to the point that she now no longer wants to go to sleep until her eyes have hit her knees and she is hysterically over tired which is generally around about 10 - 11pm at night and then she is up at 5.30am.

Not to mention the fact that it looks like we may be going to live in China for a year for my husbands work but getting his company to give us the final yes it's happening is like pulling teeth.  It's frustrating because we have so much to organise but can't do it until we have gotten the official ok.

Oh well other people have had worse things to deal with than this I just needed to get that off my chest!!!!

So I hope everyone has been having an absolutely wonderful year so far.
