An impromtu game of Yatzee after our tea on Saturday night ended up being one of the best family nights ever with lots of laughs “and no arguing” it was just fun.
A teenage boy and his hormones, this morning mommy found a distraught Lincoln crying because his hair would not style into the way he wanted. I remember it being tough at that age but I can’t say why everything and nothing most likely but I think I struggled because me dad had recently abandoned us which didn’t help.
I hope we can all stick together and help each other through any “adversity” we encounter.
As for this morning mommy dropped everything including making her breakfast to help out in the hair department saving the day and calming the the boy down so he could take on the world with a perfect do…
Its a rocky road little dude but we got you!
Losing the first two games was easy to take because the Broncos are in a rebuild with a rookie quarterback which is likely to be painful getting worse before it gets better, but to win the next three made you think, maybe?
I love watching the Broncos and how many emotions I go through watching and tonight was no exception being 23 0 down before losing on a failed onside kick with a minute to go 23 16
Primetime TNF next with means 1:30 am het up Friday morning #GoBroncos
Jamie joked as I popped my head out of my shed “Is it good not to have to do it all yourself?”
I had to get up without talking to her because she was so fast asleep earlier as she has been desperately trying to shake the jetlag before Monday so I left her to sleep
At 10am it was me that blinked first, knowing she intended to go to church. I woke her up after getting back from walking Billy and assisted and encouraged all three out of the door in great time to make the 10:30 sermon
I was in my shed all day until she knocked and I was happy that I really didn’t have to think about anyone else and just chill.
It is great to have her back and settle back into our life which for me just makes me feel happy and contented
An annual trip to the Malpas punkin patch was such a let down and I am not sure if Reagan and Lincoln are a little bit too old for what’s on offer. Maybe the magic has gone but we also saw ageing props costumes and a maize maze that was just a walk through a three foot high crop. Was it a bad crop year or was it poor planning, either way we picked our pumpkins and left saying we won’t be back…
We went to Costco to cheer ourselves up with some retail therapy and a cheap tea.
Could barely sleep and woke up about 04:10 and lay there until my alarm went off at 5am and checked flight tracker to see where she was. It said the arrival time was 06:35 three quarters of an hour earlier than planned, so I still had plenty of time for a brew before heading off to the airport.
It was torture waiting at the barrier of Terminal 2 International Arrivals peering through the door as it opened and closed desperate for the first glimpse of Jamie in three weeks. When she did appear I nearly burst into tears and felt very emotional as we embraced and not wanting to let her go for even a second I ducked under the barrier so I could walk with her and hold her hand.
I love the bones of her and missed her so much it hurt but she’s back now and I just want to feel as happy as I did in that photo, forever!
I just can not wait to get me best mate back tomorrow as I write this I am sooo excited I could burst!
Tonight Steventons finally won a match, its been a long time coming but really pleased that everyone stuck at it and enjoyed the journey too.
7 3 against The Junction and what made that even better a young lad who plays for us got his first win too.
Throughout the summer and four games in the winter league we knew a win would eventually come and tonight it did!
Reagan and locked horns yet again this morning when she informed me that she did not want to go to school but I was adamant she had to and she dually went and stuck it out for a second day.
I am not saying it was easy, it was tough but I told her I was really proud of her for doing it. She felt a lot better when I got home so much so she wanted to take Billy for a walk but I think that was because she had some new jeans delivered and needed a reason to go out in them.
When Reagan said: “What should I do if I feel ill at school?” was basically saying I will be ill today nothing is more certain. It drives me insane when she does this because she has decided, I can ride horses and go to a sleep over at my mates but I need an extra day to get over it because I am tired. I really have no patience for just doing the good stuff and having no intentions of doing the rest because the good things tire you out! Reagan went to school but messaged me on the way to tell me that if she feels unwell she will tell the school and walk home which means she will be doing exactly that.
So I am just waiting for the call, it makes me feel on edge that I know she is just biding her time before she gives up. I feel really bad that I made her go but but if I let her stay off today then she will expaect to be allowed to stay at home all the time. The waiting and anticipation of getting a call really affected my mood although it never came, I did suffer a slump in what had been pretty easy mentally this past two and a half weeks.
She texted in reply to my text asking how she was feeling to say she was tired and going to bed for a lay down. I said I was proud of her for sticking it out and that rest and paracetamol would be best for now. I have to say I was surprised that she stuck it out but she also knew I was at work in Crewe and could not come and sort her out if she did want to come home.
