Hello everyone

Thought I would be happy this day is here but instead feeling really down, having anxiety dreams about boys settling in to new schools. Omg what is wrong with me?  Must be my hormones, need to focus on going to the gym and shopping on my own, bliss.  Aahhh, not working, help!

Feeling a lot better today, my bad mood seems to have disappeared.  Alex still has his rash (shingles) but is not in any pain or ill.  I've been out in the garden cutting all the overgrown plants back which is great cause it gets rid of loads of stress. 

Hope you all are ok?

Not having a good day Alex has had a rash since Friday and he said it hurt I didn' t think it was anything serious at first and with rashes it's hard to tell what type it is.  Anyway sent him to out of hours doctor this morning and doctor reckons it's shingles.  Is is possible for an 11 year old to get shingles?

I did feel a bit down mid week because I had started to miss him.  But I'm alright now cause he's coming home today. 

I was just wondering can anyone give me any suggestions for my 11 year old. He constantly needs to be told do this or do that.  I hate it cause I feel like I'm nagging but if I don't tell him to do things it won't get done.  Does anyone else suffer with the same problem?  He is a good kid, just lazy and lacks drive.  I'm really worried because he'll be starting secondary school soon and I'm not sure he will cope with the new regime.

My second day alone but it was good.  Took boys swimming and on the way picked up a friend for my oldest Alex.  Don't you hate it when you do a home cooked meal for another persons kid, I always worry if they don't like it, I normally do chicken nuggets, pizza etc the stuff kids normally eat but I thought I'd do spagetti bol and I wish I hadn't cause all I did was worry he didn't like it and was just eating it to be polite.   Anyway day is almost over will be putting baby to bed and eldest is watching a movie with me tonight.  So sleep well all my UK friends and good morning all my Australian friends.

Another boring day, hubby back at work but will be away for a week.  I'm so glad I found Minti I would have been pulling my hair out right now not having anyone to talk to.  Kids are winding me up especially the youngest.  Hey ho nearly time for bed Hooray.

Not doing much today raining outside and have got period pains. 

What is everyone else up to talk to me please.

This is a picture of my babies at the beach it was the best day of our holiday and it always makes me smile when I see it.  Hope you like it as much as I do.

The last few days I've not been feeling too good so I'm sorry friends for not keeping in touch.  Can never think of what to say on my blog my life is not that interesting.

Not having a good day today hubbie had tooth taken out yesterday and he was up all night cause it wouldn't stop bleeding and I'm trying to get Daniel to go through the night without nappy sometimes he's successful but sometimes he's not last night he wasn't.

Hope you guys are having more fun than me.  Take care all.

What do you guys think don't the fish look good in this lol.

Hello everyone

Went to see the Simpsons movie today it was great.  Anyone out there who is a Simpsons fanatic you must see it. 

My friend Anna has joined Minti she's christened herself Cuddlemum so please give her a big welcome just like the one you gave me.  I'm sure you will all love her as much as I do.

Hello friends  had a great day yesterday went out shopping all day with my best friend Anna I am so lucky to have found her because I can talk to her about anything and she always cheers me up.  I told her about Minti and I hope she joins. 

Going to my mums today to have a small birthday party for my youngest Daniel who is 4 tomorrow.  I know it's weird having his party a day early but I have my weird reasons.  I am hoping to take him to the zoo tomorrow if the weather is good.

Hope everything is ok with everyone out there. 

Take care all xxx

Hello everyone.  I did something really stupid yesterday.  It was an accident but looking back I should have been more careful.  I cut my thumb badly in a freak accident with my hand blender, luckily I didn't cut through the bone so I should be grateful. Our local hospital did a good job of gluing me back together.  I think I forgot to mention that I am accident prone.  But now I'm stuck at home because I'm not allowed to drive and its a pain trying to get my trousers on and off.  So should be spending more time on Minti then.  Ha!

Take care and be safe
