Hello! Welcome to my blog. I'm an erratic blogger - sometimes I write loads and sometimes I disappear for days on end. I write about anything that comes to mind - sometimes about life, sometimes about marriage, sometimes about homeschool. I'm recovering from bad experiences in the past and trying to find peace with myself and, although I spend little time on the computer these days, this blog will serve as a journal for my thoughts. I have no comments because I need no-one's opinion on my life - mine is the only opinion that counts.

A little about me

I'm married to Tim (beautiful musician and delivery driver), we have 2 daughters whom we home educate, live on the south coast of the UK and have 2 aging cats (Mo-mo and Hemmingway). I love reading, crafts, teaching my children and finding the beautiful in things. I have a love of Japanese culture, homes and decor. I have recently rediscovered life away from the computer and am starting to rediscover ..... me.

Busy

So, things are a tad busy at the moment! We've had one of those months which has been full of "things" including a birthday (Tim's mum), kids activities (Rosie's trampolining and April's Tumbletots), appointments (haircuts and Rosie going to the orthodontist) and vaguely annoying stuff like having to wait in for a day for a repair man because our patio door "fell off" it's runners. In between all that, Tim has been doing a fair bit of overtime at work - I get the impression they are a little short staffed driver-wise at the moment ( a couple have left). Then today, Tim got an email from Richard, his boss, asking if he could do overtime this week because one of the (few remaining!) drivers had broken his foot!! I don't know how that man manages to keep going under the circumstances - I'm amazed he doesn't get dreadfully stressed!

Tim doesn't actually mind the overtime, or the job for that matter, too much - I mean, he quiet likes driving about in the van (especially when the weather is nice). I do think he wishes they'd get on and find some extra drivers though - it's going to get very mad by the time the holiday season starts otherwise!

So, anyway, it looks set for next month to follow in the same vein.

Overtime ....

Birthday... my little brother James (although as he's turning 36 he's not so little any more!)

Apointments .... I've got to go to the opticians on the 6th (getting headaches so I think my glasses might need updating) and something Tim has to do which I'm not going into here .. ahem.... but "he's a very naughty boy"

Activities ... Tumbletots, trampolining, home ed group activities

Oh! and we've got to book our cats in for their jabs so they can go in the cattery in August AND contact the landlord about the bathroom decorating (remember that?) which seems to have been utterly forgotten about and we've not heard a word! .....
