Staying Mum.

On many occasions I count myself lucky for having healthy, cheeky children.
Then I count myself even luckier when I have 2 children who nap for 3 hours or longer in the day, which allows me a cup of coffee and to get a few jobs done.... haha Jobs as in, watching a bit of T.V. and maybe looking through a magazine.....bliss.
As I type this blog, I have 1 little girl fast a sleep and another well on her way.... I am giddy at being able to drink my coffee in peace.

Happy New Year!!!

Yesterday was New Years Eve, different people asking what my plans are. My response, drinking a glass of wine whilst watching a decent movie then retiring to bed at a reasonable hour. NOW, hooooolllllld on....... When the heck did I become so boring??? I remember wanting nothing more than to drink drink drink, go to a club, drink some more..... puke, dance then get a taxi home somewhere around 2am ahhh those were the days, young and carefree.
I can't even think about doing that these days, I start to yawn if I envision myself staying up longer than 1030. I can just see it, another couple of years I'll be taking regular naps after supper.

I may be boring, and getting on a bit......... yes, well I guess that wraps that up!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Runaway trampoline

In the bright light of the daytime, whilst the wind blows, and Harlow and Gracie nap peacefully. The highlight of my day was the trampoline making it's merry way into my neighbours garden. The trampoline is happy where it is at the moment, but for how long?? It rocks and sways as the wind howls. Almost looks like it is trying to decide whether to stay or go.  I have called Richard numerous times at work telling him of the major situation. What if someone sues us for being negligent trampoline owners? What if? What if?

Ah well, kids are napping, and I have lots of coffee, so I'll be sitting twitching my curtains looking out the window at the runaway trampoline.

And, if that's the only thing I have to worry about......good times, good times......

HO HO HO

The snow glistens in the afternoon sun, noses and cheeks are red and cold. Wallets get lighter and lighter, yes, it's that time of the year again. 5 weeks until Christmas.

I have to be honest.... I love the 'idea of Christmas, but I find it stressful. Buying gifts for relatives and your kids etc, spending spending spending. Having a house full of plasticy (yeah I know it's not a real word) toys and other stuff that the kids decide they aren't that fond of after 2 days of playing with them.

Bah humbug. Yeah, I suppose I sound like a Scrooge, ah well, so what, I must be then!

Don't even get me started on egg nog....Who in heavens name invented this? It is an awful drink, awful awful.

But I do love Christmas morning where the kids are so giddy, so excited to open all their presents.  If I've been a good wife, I may also get a nice present too ;)
