My 3 Things...

I can't believe a week has gone already! It doesn't seem that long ago since I was wrote my last post. I am finding these weekly posts quite helpful in focusing on certain things to improve. I admit, I'm not making huge improvements but they are enough for me to notice. Becoming aware of the problem is the first step to improving them so I'm on the right track! 

Today is one of those days

Today is one of those days....

The ones that feel like they are never going to end.

The ones that make you utterly exhausted and incapable of doing anything.

The ones where the kids required constant attention or a fight breaks out.

The ones where you have a million things to do but all you want to do is sleep.

The ones where just talking is almost too much.

The ones that wrack you with guilt for neglecting your many duties.

The ones where you wish there was someone to swoop in and take care of everything just so you could sleep or brush your hair and teeth.

Today is one of those days..

The Boots On The Other Foot...

Have you ever been in a situation and thought "I wish you could just be me for a while so you could understand what it's like and I wouldnt have to try to find the words to explain."? I have. When I had PND I thought this several times, especially with my husband. I could see him trying to understand my garbled explanation of how I felt, having no idea what I was on about. It was tough for both of us. Well, seems like Ive got my wish...

My 3 Things...

Well, another week has flown by and I'm linking up with Claire from Confessions of a Single Parent Pessimist again to see howour weeks have been. 

Crafty Kat...

I am very excited! I have done something I don't normally do. In fact I'm not sure I've done anything like this before.

Reasons To Be Cheerful

Thanks At this stage of pregtastic fatness, I am looking for ANYTHING  
to cheer me up or make the days go quicker! I have hit the wall and feeling like this is going to go on forever. I know it won't and to anyone who isn't counting the minutes, 6 weeks will fly by. Unfortunately, as any Mum can verify, it doesn't matter how many people tell you "that's not long" it still feels like eternity!!

#BEDA Day 18 - My Collection

If you came to my house, you may well think I am one of those hoarders on tv. I feel like we have way too much clutter here and it drives me nuts! I am trying to sort it all out before the baby arrives but she may well beat me to it!

#BEDA Day 17- My Day

A timeline of my day. I took pictures of the things we did yesterday so I could post about it today. I didn't do much as I was feeling quite tired and my back has been aching a lot.   

#BEDA Day 16 - If I Won The Lottery

This is definitely a hypothetical one for me as I don't play the lottery! What would I do with the money if I did though....?

All Things Medical...

I thought, as it has been so long since I wrote about how we were doing,  I should give you a quick update. I will probably do a more detailed post when I get the chance.

My 3 Things

I was tweeted a link to this new linky and LOVE the idea so I will try to join in every week. It is hosted by Claire from Confessions of a Single Parent Pessimist. It focuses on things to focus on and improve which I am definitely in favour of! I need all the help I can get at the moment haha!

#BEDA Day 15 - Dream Holidays

Dream Holidays? Pahaha! I'd be happy with a trip to the Odeon right now!! 

#BEDA Day 14 - Why I Blog

Today's post is about why I blog. People blog for different reasons, just as they blog about different things.

#BEDA Day 13 - Where We Live

Today's post is all about where I live. Personally, I think it is a very unspectacular place to live but it does have some advantages. We moved here in January from a big house in a village (unfortunately a few weeks before we found out about our new addition!).  We came here because Big goes to school here and the littles went to a nursery here too. My husband was due to start his new job and I would be a lot less isolated. It also meant less traveling time in the car to get anywhere, which is a huge bonus!! 

#BEDA Day 12

Todays post is about our guilty pleasures. I have to be honest and I'm not sure I have one. 

#BEDA Day 11

I'm getting a bit behind with my posts so I will try to catch up today. I'm starting to get confused about which day is what!

Here is a list of 5 of my favourite films. Films to me are a bit like books, I rarely watch/read them twice unless they are REALLY good (or happen to be on when I want to veg in front of the tv!).

#BEDA Day 10

Today we are posting three things we have already completed on our bucket list. 

#BEDA Day 9

15 things that make me happy...

Reasons To Be Cheerful

I'm a day late with this post but yesterday really wasn't a good day. I seem to have either really, really good day or a really, really bad day at the moment. I seem to wake up in the same mood every day so I never know which way the day is going to go...

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty positive today so thought I would share my reasons why.

#BEDA Day 8

Today we are sharing what is in our bags. I have to be honest and say until I did this I had no idea how much junk I have been lugging abour with me! Do you know what's in your bag?

Drug Decision...

As regular readers will know I am currently 30 weeks pregnant. We are having massive behaviour problems with Chaos and Squish isn't sleeping very well. Combine that with a house that needs lots of work before the baby arrives and you have one stressed Mumma!
My other problem is I am starting to struggle with anxiety and depression again...

#BEDA Day 7

I don't actually have a playlist. I had an Ipod that didn't last the move to our new house and I haven't had a chance to replace it yet. In place of that I shall share 10 songs I like a lot. 

#BEDA Day 6

This post is dedicated to ma bestie. No prizes for guessing I'm afraid, as I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about. I'm quite sure most of you are also friends with her as she is such a lovely, caring, friendly person.

#BEDA: Day 5

The Prompt for today is to write about a special memory. I have so many, I'm not sure how to choose just one! I have travelled a bit, had some great times with my lovely boys and worked in some great places. Hmm... How to choose?

#BEDA Day 4

This prompt will take some thought.  Where would I like to be in ten years from now? Blimey, a lot can happen in ten years but it can also seem to fly past in the blink of an eye. 

Tuneful Tuesday

I was listening to music this weekend and realised how much I missed it. The boys were dancing round the front room and my husband gave me a few lingering looks when certain songs came on.
I don't know why I haven't put any on,  I've just been busy with the boys I suppose. Anyway, I thought I would share one of my fav tunes on a Tuesday (or maybe one that captures my mood) as I rekindle my love of music.

#BEDA Day 3

Here is my post for day 3. Some of these questions are proving quite thought provoking which is great. I could do with stretching my grey matter a little more! 

#BEDA Days 1&2

Ok,  I realise I am a little late to the party but thats fashionable right?! I was reading my lovely cupcakes blog and saw that she has joined in with this linky for Emma at Outmumbered.  I joined in a few years ago and loved it so thought I would join in again this year. 

Magic Moments

Last week was quite up and down. I am trying to retrain myself to look for the special moments which make all the hard times manageable. It's not easy but I'm sticking with it. These lovely links help me a lot so thank you Jaime!

Talk About Embarrassing...

There is nothing like children to totally embarrass you and make you feel an inch tall,  is there? Mine have just pulled off their best stunt to date. On a scale of 1-10 this would easily rank an 8/9... The worst of it is,  it involves my foul mouthed neighbour who I would rather have no involvement with at all.
