The day before

A very slow start for all three of us I think we are all ready for Mommy to be home but we still have two school/work days to get through, so I had to motivate everyone out the door this morning. They did really well as they have for the last two weeks without Mom […]

Like finally breathing again

I sat in a vet surgery in Stoke on me own this afternoon finally able to breathe again after feeling overwhelmed with the amount work I had to do over the last couple of days. There were so many people relying on me to do what I said I could do, but the doubt I […]

Work sucks

Left the house this morning after seeing the children off to school and no matter how hard I worked today I didn’t seem to get any closer to finishing what had to be do but had to concede defeat at 5pm because Reagan & Lincoln were home alone since school finished and I was an […]

Feeling inspired

Work was torture today because all I had on my mind was window frames and cladding. My brain is in overdrive planning the next part of my shed it will all take money but there are things I can do with the wood I already own, it’s just work gets in the way sometimes….

Windows Update

Reagan and Lincoln apparently told Mommy they dont see Daddy at the weekend, which isn’t strictly the truth, I may not be “in their company” lets face it they don’t want me mithering them or interupting whatever they are doing. They need me to facilitate relieving their hunger or getting them to places which I […]

Saturdays in the sun

Today was a really great day in many ways but mostly because the sun shone and it was warm. Took Reagan to horse riding and did Jamie’s walk while she did her lesson and on a morning like this it was almost idyllic. The walk takes you along the side of the M6 motorway which […]

Just enjoy

I love the fact that Jamie has this opportunity to spend such quality time with her family and friends and I am always cautious not to tell her how much we miss her without stressing how much we need her to “just enjoy” being there because you’ll be home for the next 50 weeks but […]

Kebab night

Tonight I cooked chicken Kebabs in pitta bread with salad and chips with a plain chicken option for Reagan. Ironically the spiced option was a huge success and both children loved it and want me to make them again soon

Beckham

I have not missed Jamie more than tonight watching a Netflix series about someone I have loved and I am sad to say hated… Posh and Becks are on the TV saying they’re the most loving couple and I am just thinking noooo? We can always be as loving as any couple but I think […]

Disappointed

I never think of myself as a good parent and feel like I am winging it every day taking most of my leads from Jamie and I just hope I am doing it right, most of the time? Today, Jamie sent me some ‘disappointing’ revelations that Lincoln had called Reagan names and wished she didn’t […]
