Hello to all, I know it's been a while so just dropped in to say a BIG HELLO to you all and jot down a very quick update.  

Things have been pretty busy since I last wrote, the eldest is in high school and the middle one is in fulltime school.   The little one will start kindy next year.    

It has been nonstop mummy taxi running everyone here and there and trying to keep everything ship shape at home.  Hubby has been travelling quite a lot for business so sometimes you very much feel like a single mom, so I take my hat off to all those who do that everyday on their own.  

The eldest has been doing volunteer work at an Equestrian Centre every week and is thoroughly loving it, so this makes good punishment leverage when she's being naughty lol!!!!    Middle beastie has started guitar lessons and unfortunately has had to have an operation earlier this year, and is scheduled for another next month .. nothing serious and she will get over it but she is really struggling at school so hopefully this will sort her out this time as obviously didn't work the first time.  As for junior master he is plodding along and enjoying everyday to the fullest I think that when he finally gets to school he will be in his element.

As for me I do what I do best and keep everyone going lol.  I decided to try my hand at Nutrimetics as just needed something to make me feel useful to myself as well as someone other than my family.   I don't do those home spa things yet maybe some day but I do have a website that people can order stuff from and have it delivered to them, I get so excited when my packages arrive at the door ....... HA HA HA now doesn't that sound sad!!?

Anyway my friends this is the long and short of it for my and mine.  I hope that you are all well and that life is treating you as it should with peace, love and happiness.

Take care and hopefully I will have another update soon.

Bye xxx

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.
