Who’s child is it anyway?

It’s been one of those days. At 1pm today I was called by the school to advise me that the little one had a fall at break time (10.20am) Because she was still in pain at 1pm and her foot was bruised the receptionist asked that I collect her and take her to a &Continue reading “Who’s child is it anyway?”

Journaling

Shopping today my daughter and I spotted a very shiny new book in W h smiths. And as you can probably guess we couldn’t leave it behind. Turns out this note book is actually a journal (it did have a sticker and other details that made it clear it is a journal I was justContinue reading “Journaling”

New beginnings

I’ve been quite once again. This is because I have actually been productive lately. Rekindling old friendships Spending quality time on myself And lastly finally getting my small business up and running. The last few months have been busy, trying to home school the little madam (I emphasis the trying, it’s not going all thatContinue reading “New beginnings”

Constraints!

How was your Christmas all? My brain has been in over drive once again. So constraints……….. There are so many constraints in life, time, money, emotions, family commitments, work, school, children, the list is endless. How do we live within these constraints and be happy with life? Time: you hear us all say it “there’sContinue reading “Constraints!”

Going Grey Gracefully!! Ummmm

Hair hair hair and more hair. As women we’re never happy with the hair we’re given (I’m talking about the hair on our heads). I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going grey since the tender age of 18. I recently found out that this is because I have pernicious anemia. I do have injections toContinue reading “Going Grey Gracefully!! Ummmm”

Struggling!

I’ve given up counting days and been quiet because in all honesty I’ve been feeling a little crap. My vivid, horrible nightmares have returned. I’m feeling insecure in almost everything in life. My confidence has dipped again and I’m scraping by with everything. I’m frustrated that I don’t feel I’m productive enough. I’m in aContinue reading “Struggling!”

Dr Foster, Psycho Bitch or Woman’s Hero?

Have you seen Dr Foster? I love the series, I think they should have carried it on. But thinking about her behaviour when she finds out her husband of 14 years has been having an affair, is it normal or does she completely lose the plot? I’ve watched this series so many times, it’s oneContinue reading “Dr Foster, Psycho Bitch or Woman’s Hero?”

One of Those Days (rolls eye’s)

Do you ever just have one of those days where everyone around you just annoys the hell out of you? They don’t have to specifically do anything wrong, they are just annoying. I’m having one of those days and my work colleagues are driving me insane. It’s taking all my resolve to keep polite andContinue reading “One of Those Days (rolls eye’s)”

Child constantly looks like she’s been dragged through a hedge backwards.

I love my daughter dearly and I wouldn’t change her for the world, however I always have this issue with her that no matter what I dress her in or how I do her hair, within 10 minutes in fact before we’ve even get out of the front door she just looks like she’s beenContinue reading “Child constantly looks like she’s been dragged through a hedge backwards.”

Pampering and self love

On Sunday I finally got round to spending an hour on myself, so I decided to give my eyebrows a pluck and tint and finally used the glycolic face treatment (which I purchased back in August). How often do you treat yourself to some me time? We all run around after everyone else and we’reContinue reading “Pampering and self love”

Drinking

It’s Saturday night and it’s the evening after the night before and I’m feeling rough AF. It was all fun and games last night we had a fantastic time, the conversation was flowing, food was good and the drinks kept coming. All in all it was a really really good night, best we’d had inContinue reading “Drinking”

Fashion For Mums

No, this is not a post giving fashion advice, its just me again. I like to think I dress well (I may not and I’m living in a dream world) but I often look at other women and admire their dress sense. I consider trying out something similar and then I chicken out of doingContinue reading “Fashion For Mums”

Me and Music

Its Tuesday and I’m a bit out of sync now from writing over the weekend so your getting my posts a day late otherwise I will be bombarding with multiple posts. This morning was so smooth, get up get ready, there were no dramas. Work is quite nice this morning (shouldn’t speak too soon). WeContinue reading “Me and Music”

Bobbles! Grrrrr

This seems a very silly subject to write on but its something that frustrates me every single day. Bobbles, where the hell do they go? where do they hide? It feels like there is a conspiracy against me with hair bobbles in our house. Now I do wear hair bobbles myself and I currently haveContinue reading “Bobbles! Grrrrr”

Navigating The School Run

It’s Monday and I feel so anxious my stomach is in knots. I feel sick, sweaty and weak. I’m tired so so so tired but yet I’ve just had two days off work. On an upside little miss was up and getting ready on time and we had no dramas. Monday is breakfast club dayContinue reading “Navigating The School Run”

My Mental Breakdown!

It’s Sunday the day of rest. Yeah right! So I went to work for an hour on the morning, came home cleaned up, helped the Mr with some stuff in the garden, had a quick pint with him in our garden bar, went school food shopping (how do packed lunches cost so much), watched aContinue reading “My Mental Breakdown!”

Me me me ……………

I’ve told you all some of what’s going on in my head but what I haven’t told you is who I am (don’t be silly I’m not going to announce my name, address and dob on the internet for all to see). I don’t know where to start. I’m in my 30’s, I like toContinue reading “Me me me ……………”

Groundhog Mum

So we’re back to the school run with tears and tantrums as we’re leaving the house because my daughter didn’t want to go to breakfast club this morning (In her words she’s now quitting breakfast club), along with not wanting her hair brushed ect. And this is Groundhog Mum! saying the same things over andContinue reading “Groundhog Mum”
