Ok I have not really blogged about how much I love watching American Football and I think seeing as how it’s Divisional Playoff day I am going to try and explain it.

Generally about Lincoln
Lincoln and Reagan got towels for Christmas but I think Lincoln has taken to his as much as anyone could have Read more
Last night I woke Lincoln briefly as I took him to bed so that he could have a little wee before I laid him in bed, but it must not have been enough… Read more
Lincoln’s second full day of this week at school and when I got home from work at 17:45 he was all but asleep face down in his tea which was funny but I knew Mommy was about to go out to choir practice so it was going to be down to me to sort the situation. Read more
England went back to work today and that included me 🙁 Christmas was officially over and although it can be a bit of a pain you have to take a breathe and get on with it because you win the battle in your head in a morning going to work is easy if you accept that unless you win the lottery you have to work to live NEVER live to work though!

My last day off after a BRILLIANT Christmas break and I got up to the smell off slow cooked pork shoulder which I had prepared last night and slow cooked all night Read more
Reagan spelled out Subway from their sign and then said that makes subway like Mr Swift said subtract it means take away…! When I hear my little baby daughter say stuff like that unprompted just because she is using what she has learned at school just blows me away she is growing up so fast. She is always practicing reading all the time and getting better, only struggling on “word wall” words ones that sometimes can’t be sounded out which if you think about it subway was a very tough word but she read it.
I feel pretty proud of her today as I do everyday but today just a little bit more than yesterday?
Lincoln on the other hand doesn’t care about reading yet he doesn’t start pre school 3 days a week all day until Monday so he just ate a full 6″ ham cheese with salami (which he really wanted) but because he asked for salami he was refused a childrens meal because the jobs worth serving the butty’s said he can’t have salami on a childrens meal deal…I nearly flipped! So he had to have a grown up sub crisps and a drink but no toy and no bag to put it in FOR A POUND MORE? I would have given them the extra pound to put a couple of pieces of salami on his childrens meal butty but unfortunately that’s NOT allowed at subway?
Lincoln didn’t complain, he got what he wanted, even though his sister got a princess bag and princess game and he got a meal which he ate COMPLETELY!
It makes me VERY proud how easy going Lincoln is and not complaining about things like that make me realise we are getting it right.
After some pottering we went to a farm near Congleton where Reagan and Lincoln fed the goats pigs cows horses alpacas and chickens and then we fed ourselves at the cafe before heading off to Astbury Mere Country Park for a walk and some fresh air. Read more
Last night was fantastic we had a great night just Jamie and me on the sofa some booze snacks and a film, once Reagan and Lincoln went to bed. Our day begun yesterday slowly but we had a plan to go ten pin bowling but that was almost scuppered by Lincoln getting very car sick but after returning home to get him and the car cleaned up we did eventually enjoy an hours bowling if a little broken up by malfunctioning alleys.
Next we planned to keep the kids up later and have a disco with music and flashing lights snacks and drinks which we did but at their normal bedtime they actually asked to go to bed which we happil…. begrudgingly obliged.
I had a great night drinking upto but not past midnight sticking to my plan, Jamie on the otherhand drank past midnight and polished of a bottle of presseco herself, which came back (literally) to bite her this morning not through excess but late drinking meant a slow start and a day off for her as she suffered all day. The children and me went for a walk into town and then to the park while Mommy recovered and then we had a really lazy day watching movies and I cooked a good tea with lots of veg and pork which proved the final cure for Jamie “slow day” lol
I sit here now watching easy telly blogging and drinking water, yes water knowing I have cracked day 1 of my plan
I weighed myself – no change
This was Lincoln relaxing watching Ninja Turtles while playing with a free toy from McDonalds even though he has a hundred pounds worth of Christmas presents on the floor at his feet, unfortunately in this photo he has nodded off and snoring Read more
