Being talked at…

After finishing work at 5pm I went to the kitchen to make burgers, a request from Reagan as her “last meal” before fasting for her surgery scheduled for tomorrow. As I walked through the living room Lincoln started talking and just didn’t stop for the next 15 minutes, I didn’t want to extinguish his enthusiasm […]

Euphoria

I felt so good tonight from the time I got to the Legion and had my first pint of Guinness for over a year to now sitting here writing this blog. I have been chatting with me mates making them laugh joking around just riding that perfect time when you drink, not sober and not […]

Hospital break

My life is so boring when I read back what I write every day, today I spent the whole day in a training session at work but luckily had a hospital appointment halfway through which broke the monotony. It should be daunting to go and have my armpit scanned for lumps that could kill me […]

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

As we walked to Youthie tonight Lincoln said to me “You’re happy today Daddy, you’re going to be happy tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next, I’m glad you’re happy again!” We chatted all the way to Market Field and off he went into the Wych Centre leaving me to walk […]

Coping better

Just got in from playing pool and pleased we actually won a match sadly too rare this season so to take all the points with a 5 3 win against White Lion a good side with some very good players was really good! With no car because I can’t tax it because the MOT ran […]

It’s about perspective

Today was the absolute worst day everAnd don’t try to convince me thatThere’s something good in every dayBecause, when you take a closer look,This world is a pretty evil place.Even ifSome goodness does shine through once in a whileSatisfaction and happiness don’t last.And it’s not true thatIt’s all in the mind and heartBecauseTrue happiness can […]
