Time difference

With only 22 days before we leave for America both children are getting sooo excited, Reagan wants a suitcase so she can start packing, while Lincoln is trying to get his head around time differences. Both of them are now focused on America Mommy has started finalising stuff like a rental car and a hotel […]

Selfish me

I have become to realise that I find the most joy when I have Jamie alone, to myself and we spend time together. She is the biggest reason that I smile every day, but she is so much to so many other people it seems so selfish to need her company so badly. She is […]

Are you excited?

Its a question that keeps on being asked at the moment because Jamie has booked for us all to go to see her mum at Easter which means we all fly to America in 24 days. I am excited to spend my birthday on the same continent as my mother-in-law, something I have always said […]

Chaos and Cricket

As chaos reigned at Middlewich High Reagan felt unsafe so text her Mom to say some pupils were protesting the toilets being locked all day so pupils are unable to use them, something we as parents do not agree with and the school have been told about but they had taken this decision to stop […]

Glad you’re happy again, Dad

Happy Anniversary

Changing my route

Rowt or Route? This morning I tried to make todays change early by walking in a different direction, I am going to walk it doesn’t matter where so I did the old Poppity Johns and canal home. Did it bring me joy, it was a good walk and Billy was excellent, but as soon as […]

Groomed

Today was a struggle I layed in, we walked, we shopped, I lazed then took Billy but did I find joy? Tonight I spent half an hour grooming from top to bottom all unnecessary hair removed followed by a shower and some aftershave and deodorant. I felt good afterwards and I felt joy, it made […]
