Goodbye 2010

Snot clothes for the lady

You may have noticed that for a change Ruby is not in pink. “Is this a fashion statement” I hear you shout, has she suddenly changed her colour palate as is brings out her eyes? In short the answer is no, it is to hide the snot and blood that she is sneezing...

Another year younger!

To all those Capricorns out there, you know what it is like having a birthday either before, in between or after Christmas and at least my birthday is not on Christmas day (unlike one of my friends). When I was little I remember being quite resentful...

Christmas lurgy

Rivan woke with a smile on his face this morning obviously feeling better. Ruby woke with a burning forehead and cheeks and a duvet cover that was once purple but now decorated with snot. Being articulate enough to explain how she feels she passed quite...

And the sun shone

« Did Father Christmas come last night mummy » were the first words from Ruby’s mouth this morning. I said that I thought he had come as there were some presents in the stockings hanging under the tree. I wished her a merry Christmas and then we went...

No to Father Christmas

I sit here on Christmas eve, the kids sleeping, Ben in the garage putting together the kids house for the garden, the cat snoring, presents wrapped and ready to go. Earlier in the week I met a girlfriend for dinner – one of those rare opportunities for...

Hallelujah

This was sent to me by one of my friends, whilst watching it sent shivers up my spine and I found to my surprise that there were tears running down my cheeks. What a beautiful gift these singers gave to all those in the shopping centre that day and I...

Party party party

Forecast was for snow last night but as I opened the shutters the ground was not white, however it did start snowing mid morning and I secretly hoped that it would not settle (as pretty as it is) as we had two parties to go to today. With baked lemon...

Sleep needed

Today I decided to put Ruby back into her cot as she has been getting up earlier and earlier each morning, to the point that she is rising with me around 6 – 6.30. This combined with her deciding that she does not want an afternoon nap has resulted in...

You might not be her for Christmas but you are on our tree!

Decorating the tree has always been a special time, each year as I decorate the tree (or house if I have not had a tree) I take the time to think over the last year, what events have changed our lives, how the kids have grown, what we were doing last...
