Reflective Times

Birthday Boy with our
first attempt at a 3D cake

With my darling son approaching 30, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my life - focusing on my many mistakes (and believe me there are many!)  I am impulsive, and when I was young my impulsiveness knew no bounds which lead to a lot of grief for me and people around me.  Oh well, all I can do now is try to be the best I can, learn from my mistakes and be truly thankful for what I have.

Darren's birthday celebrations were a great success and he is partying again next weekend with his mates.  I am so proud of him and his wonderful family. Phoebe is thriving - a beautiful little bundle of joy.

Kirsty is still a great worry to everyone.  She is 22 weeks pregnant and not happy.  I'd hoped the pregnancy hormones would at least stop her from being aggressive.  What is this poor little soul being born into 

It would help if I could split myself in two

Totally exhausted!  Had Bethan, Ann & Stephen for the weekend, so on the go all the time. Shopping Bham and Worcester, dinner at the Hollow, met Barrie's new woman - Nadine - very nice - we approve!  



Phoebe 13.11.11

It also meant I  couldn't visit my darling Phoebe - Darren didn't want Nanny Ann to go to Lichfield :(

Another week has passed and she is growing so quickly! I dreamt about her all night last night, I think I might have to go over one evening to see her, but in reality, there is no point, she will be in bed.  Lichfield is just too far, I wish we could have moved, not to worry, I just have to accept it, what will be will be. 


Job secure for at least a few months - sigh of relief! Kirsty finds out what she is having on Wednesday, that is exciting; oh and for the moment Auntie Kirsty is back with Pep - who knows how that will end?

Brother, Phoebe, Earache

The most beautiful girl in the world!

OMG, I forgot to phone my darling brother for his birthday, ahhhh!  I am such an idiot.  Had a dinner party on Saturday, hours of prep and still not together for the meal! I am loosing it.  Sunday was devoted to clearing up, walking the dogs (another beautiful autumnal day) and catching up with Strictly, X Factor and Piers Morgan with Rolf Harris.  What a lazy idle git I am becoming, but I was exhausted.  Missed Phoebe this weekend but was sent fab photos of her from her Daddy. 

I've got earache! Ouch! First I thought it was a brain tumor and was preparing to die, but no, the ear thing is now so painful it can't be anything else.
