Decorations and snow

I can’t really explain how anxious I get when the time comes each year that they decorate the house for Christmas, it should be excitement or joy to see the Reagan and Lincoln feeling the same. Jamie knows I don’t like change and this always feels like change that needs to be resisted at least […]

It’s only money

Managed to get me car started this morning to allow me to drive it down to Town Bridge Motors to find out why it struggles to start. Apparently, the thermostat had siezed in the “I’m really hot” position, which in turn broke two sensors on the radiator and coolant reservoir, meaning I get a bill […]

The S means the most

Wawaawawa, there’s nothing I can do about it, so why worry about it! Being a Forster is great, but “The Forsters” make it worth getting out of bed every morning What would it be like to get out of bed every day to do something I want to do, better still something I enjoy doing…?

Kept smiling

I’d become happier and more contented about my work situation because I got it right in my head, that nothing is going to change this is how it is just take the money until they stop giving it to me. Annoyingly last Thursday my frustration and dare I say it anger came flooding back when […]

Can’t trust me car

Cars are a necessary evil sometimes when you can’t just get in it and drive to where you want to go. Yet again there is something wrong with me car, over the last couple of days when I try to start it from cold it really struggles to start firing on all cylinders  literally. Once […]

Being short sighted

Jamie will admit that her sight is really bad yet she can see so much more than anyone else. She sees big things about me that I can’t quote see yet?

Christmas list presentation

Tonight before both children went off to laser tag with church Reagan sat Mommy and me down to watch her PowerPoint presentation of this year’s Christmas list… It was beautifully presented with lots of options including main gifts highlighted with a snowflake highlighting gifts she really would like! OK I get it the magic of […]

Thanksgiving 2023

We had another very successful Thanksgiving feeding 10 at dinner with Mommy’s special made with love holiday fare, Turkey and all the trimmings follow by pumpkin pie. This year featured a special addition to dessert menu Reagan’s very own cherry pie which she was very proud of and tasted as good as it looked too! […]

Recognition

The best thing I heard today was “Thank you for seeing who I was before anyone else” It was Jamie saying she loved me, but I’d never heard her say it like that, and my first reaction was, as always, to make a joke. The words though struck with me all day and I eventually […]

Thanksgiving 2023, not?

Strangest Thanksgiving ever well for me, definitely having only celebrated 15 this one is the only one we have ever had Chippy tea? Went to the lake once Reagan had left for school, Jamie swam Billy and me watched. Then spent the rest of the day cleaning house. Tomorrow is a holiday for me and […]
