Proud Mummy Moments #2





Oh my, what a proud week I've had!

See it, Snap it, Love it #1.5





Living with Chaos..... Day 55


What can I tell you? Each day is totally unpredictable. The unknown always lurks around each corner or behind the door. When you enter a room you are never quite sure what sight will greet you. I can guarantee you one thing, good or bad, Chaos will be in the middle of it.....

Day 54... My Boys




I have been feeling quite odd this week and I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like I have suddenly become very aware of the time. Sorry, not THE time but just time. It goes so fast...

See it, Snap it, Love it #1


This is my first post and think it is a wonderful idea. I love taking photos and have so many on the computer I had to remove them onto a hard drive as they filled the memory! 

This Linky is hosted by Lucy over at Dear Beautiful Boy so pop over and have a look through her other wonderful photos. You could also join in. This weeks theme is "EYES" and ends on Monday so there is plenty of time to get snapping! (Next Tuesdays theme is "WATER" so you can plan ahead if you'd rather!)


Training Plan - First Half

As I have already mentioned, I would like to raise money for Unicef by completing a few personal challenges. The two I am going to start training for now are the 5km run and the mile swim. This is my training plan for these two events.

Proceed with Caution..... Day 53

I didn't blog yesterday as I was very busy having the day from hell. Both my babies are poorly and had me running around after them like a loon. It's bad enough watching one little one suffer but when they are both down it's awful.

Bittersweet Sunday Day 51

Today is a big day for my little Squish pants. For the first time EVER he rolled over on to his tummy all by himself! Me and my husband were both there to see it and gave him lots of encouragement and a huge cheer when he made it over. We are so proud of him, our clever little bean!

WooooHaaaaa! Get me!! Day 49

Guess who just went to the village playgroup all on her lonesome?? (well, with the boys obviously otherwise it would I would just be a weirdo!) Oh yesss -ME!!! AND I told some of the Mums that I had PND which is why I hadn't emerged before now. You wouldn't believe the looks on their faces....

Proud Mummy Moment #1

I have found a new linky blog hop through reading Ready Steady Mummy's blog. It is hosted every Thursday by Emmy Mom and I think it is a fantastic idea so this week I have decided to share my proud moment...





Hey Hey, It's Thursday! R2BC#5 Day 48

Well, here I was trying to decide on a title for today's post when I realised it's Thursday and we all know what that means!! Time to link up with the lovely Michelle over at Mummy From The Heart for the #R2BC Blog Hop.

A "Normal" Day! Day 47

I have had a pretty productive day today even though I have been struck by a yucky cold. Little Squish is suffering too, bless him. He has done the sensible thing and just slept through the day other than waking up for milk. Chaos had a half hour cry when he woke up for some reason but has otherwise been fine and up to his usual tricks. The Big One is  also very bunged up and is sporting a very sore, red nose, poor lad.

Choose-day .... Day 46

WoW! What a wonderful weekend I have had! I really am a lucky girl. I have been totally overwhelmed by all the birthday wishes I have received and the variety of ways they have come in. I will try to tell you all about it but where to begin....?!

A Lovely Day...... Day 42

Today has been lovely. We have spent nearly the whole day in the garden and it is starting to take shape. It looks like someone cares about it now which is good. I can't wait until we can spend time playing out there when all the work is done. Really I am just enjoying having a garden again after 5 years without one!

Progress.... Day 41

I didn't blog yesterday. I was totally zonked after a rough night with my angels. I did struggle a bit to make it through the day but managed it somehow. I have put my idea into practice and so far it's going ok.

Totally Tired Tuesday Day 39

Bit of a change today. Had a pretty tough night with the boys. They decided to take it in turns waking up and wanting milk or cuddles from 4:30am onwards. I did manage to go to bed before midnight... Just! So I managed a whole four hours sleep WOOOHOOOOO!!! No wonder I feel a bit pooped to say the least.

Slightly More Motivated Monday! Day 38

Today started rather earlier than I would have liked but the boys decided 6.30am was a long enough lie in! I left my husband sleeping as he is shattered after working 2 nights this weekend (although I am struggling to find any sympathy for him as he didn't have to do both!). I have made a few decisions today. I have also drawn up a plan. I shall explain....

A Little Unwell..... Day 36

The rest of yesterday was a bit of a disaster. I had a few bouts of crying but tried to get on with things. I was getting some washing out of the machine when I asked my husband if he had Monday off. He said "yes, it's a bank holiday." I meant the following Monday. "Oh. No I'm working"
The significance of that is, it's my birthday. The Big One also goes back to school that day which means I will be sat here on my own all day :( He also told me he has taken a day off at the end of the month to pack for a weekend in Scotland for his brothers birthday.

Pants Day 35

So it's Good Friday, we are all home together for the next four days and I should be happy yes? No. Not happy, in fact down right miserable. I keep crying all over the place then next minute I'm ok again. Is it some kind of mania?

Bloody Health Visitor

I'm not usually one to complain about these great people and the support they offer. Today however is a totally different story. I feel so annoyed and upset that I felt I should vent my emotions on this big white screen and banish it into the ether.....

Shit, Fuck and Buggery Bollocks!!!! Day 34

If there is one wish I could have granted right now, it would be to have a day off. Just to say Fuck it to the whole damn lot of it. So I don't have to worry about anyone else. I can just curl up in a cozy ball under the duvet with 7 million bags of jellies and read all the blogs I can before my eyes fall out from over use!

Reasons To Be Cheerful #3











 I'm really struggling to be cheerful this week. My PND has made a surprise attack so the Dr has increased the dose as I shouldn't be feeling so low after this long. I feel like I have let everyone down. I wasn't going to bother doing this post this week but for fear of slipping into a miserable/guilt ridden vicious circle, I'm here and I'm damn well gonna be cheerful!!
I would also like to thank Fay for being this weeks host over at Glass Half Full   x

Weird Wednesday.... Day 33

Ugh... Again?! Here we go. Sweats, shakes, moody, irritable, tired, miserable, short tempered. Any of this sounding familiar?? Yep, square 0.. Not even as good as square 1. I can't believe it. I feel like I'm going backwards not forwards. I shouldn't still be feeling this bad after 5 weeks of pills surely?

Positively Monday.... Day 32

Today is the launch of Motivation on Monday (MoM) blog hop. I am waiting in anticipation to see if anyone joins in. I am also curious to see if the thing actually works as I'm not computer literate by any means. I have spent many hours staring at HTML codes trying to fathom out why the badges I made didn't work. I have compared my links to other peoples links and worked it out from there. This is the end result so I hope that
a) It works!! and b) you enjoy reading the posts and taking part.

Pretty S***ty Sunday :( Day 31

I apologise in advance. There is going to be a yet unknown amount of bad language in this post. I try not to use it unless absolutely necessary. Today it is a necessity if I am going to write how I truly feel. If you are going to be offended please do not read on. Just pop over to another blog for now and come back tomorrow when I'm hoping the storm will have passed. Thanks x
