I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.

le sigh. in crawling into 2014.

I want this house. http://www.ralphbending.com/properties/detail/stmichaels/index.html We could afford this house if we had local work with the same (very small) income that we have now. But t...


My self titled title of non drinker must, from hence forth, be rescinded. The other week it was beer, this week it's cider. Well, I am in Somerset... We're having a fabulous time, we walked mi...


...until the weekend. I can do this! I do have a family coming over later to discuss with me possibly looking after their boy from September. I do feel slightly bad since I'm hoping to no longer...


You know how toddlers gradually become little people and you get used to it so slowly that you don't even realise that it had happened? I'm remembering that it happened! Libby isn't far off bei...

I ran in crawling into 2014.

I did, really. Most of you know that I'm a plodder, but with dreams of running at the speeds I did in my twenties... Once a week I run a mile as fast as I can, just to see how fast that is (it's...


I haven't written in my sugar free blog in a while so anyone who may have been reading may not check it - just to let you know I've updated. http://threemonthssugarfree.blogspot.co.uk


We had a good weekend. Hmmm, but where to start? Let's go with chronological? Friday. I finished work at five, and had packed up the car by then. I made up food for the girls to eat in the car a...


You know you've had a successfully relaxing weekend when you're on the verge of sleep all Monday... Lol. I'll be back to fill you in when my head stops its buzzing, my bones stop protesting and...


So, as I was saying.... I mean, the whole. Entire entry is. GONE!! THE WHOLE EFFING THING!! As I was trying to say, Rich and I are going to have a whole weekend of grown upness. A weekend away. ...

bath time! in crawling into 2014.

But no reality check. Hey, I did one of those the other night! In the UK one of our main teachers unions had a strike day on Wednesday. I'm always in favour of strikes as teachers are paid a ri...


She is doing much better today. By bed time all her colour was back, she was bouncing off the walls and when I just went in to check on her there was nary a sound from her wee lungs that shouldn'...

Long night. in crawling into 2014.

I felt as though I had gone back in time a few years last night when Lila got me up every two hours. Poor wee moo has some evil virus that is affecting her breathing horrifically. Late afternoo...


WHERE: in bed at the moment, although contemplating having a bath. Talaia is next to me, having brought her pillow pet (homemade) and duvet in after Rich got up. WEARING: my usual Friday mornin...


Sometimes I get totally thrown by the voiced thoughts of people I thought were friends. It happened on friday and threw me into a state of slumpedge. I was in the kitchen at toy library and I s...

surveyage. in crawling into 2014.

1. If you were to go to a costume party tonight what would you go as? I honesty don't know as I haven't dressed up in costume since I was 17! 2- What is your choice of toppings on a hamburger? ...


It's funny, though not in a 'ha ha' way, but I totally believe in my gut instinct. Sometimes it's strong and sometimes just a whiffle of a nagging feeling but it's often there. I'll give you so...

that's all. in crawling into 2014.

Can someone please take these children out of my house. They're all too noisy and hyping each other up!! That's all!


Guess what! I just broke the ten minute mile! That Roger Bannister bloke has nothing on me! Tangent - I've walked across the very (albeit resurfaced) track that he ran his sub four minute mile ...


WHERE: it is some time since my last reality check. I am currently lying on my bed on my left hand side, propped up by my gorgeous, hooge, Ikea pillow. WEARING: if you all could sit down please,...


I was in the bath this morning and Talaia came in. She started playing with my belly and asked why it was so wobbly. I explained that having babies had made the skin stretch a bit, but if I did t...


You'll all be pleased to know that I didn't have the sugar - I was saved by my friend's sick little boy. Poor wee thing. As soon as he gets a cold, his airways close up and he gets his wheeze on....

just sayin' in crawling into 2014.

aaaggghhhhhh! I WANT SUGAR AND I WANT IT NOW!!!  Talk me down people, talk me down! Premenstrual and with a prepubescent, hormonal child who just OD'd on sugar at a pizza hut party. She's rolli...


I've been asked how my sugarlessness is going and so I thought I'd copy and paste the entry I wrote on blogger this evening. X Forgive me blogger... ...for I have sinned. NO!   I haven't eaten s...

last update! in crawling into 2014.

I was a little tense (not immensely) after school yesterday, making sure that we had everything, at the right time. And relying on other people for timing. Lyf and Nia's mum was a couple of minut...

update in crawling into 2014.

It's lucky I wrote that entry yesterday or I may not have realised the time discrepancy in time and tally really doesn't do well when things don't happen as she expects! I got in touch with bff...
