Spring forward

So we had a lovely weekend and it really felt like spring had sprung and the world had woken up!

We had missed just walking around locally and going down to the sea, walking the zig zag path and the board walk and ending up on the harbour arm which is now open again and a lot more of the old platform is finished.

Easter is coming and although they're mentioning cold weather still, I don't care because I've always liked Easter. Not just for the chocolates! Its time with family, a break from work and maybe , just maybe, ditching the haggered winter jumpers! Fingers crossed!

So I may take a break from this whilst the kids are on holiday. Unless, of course, they provide me with some hysterical inspiration that I just can't ignore!!

Happy Easter everybody, may the chocolate be with you!! 😉💜

Moaning

So lately I've been struggling for inspiration a bit as 4-year-old is not providing a great deal to laugh about.  He's behaving like a stroppy 2-year-old a lot of the time.

His day starts with moaning because I won't let him rifle through the recycling bag during breakfast looking for another empty box he can make into a 'rocket!'
We then proceed with me repeating to him the need to eat something until I'm blue in the face.

By this point 7-year-old is up, fed, dressed, hair done and asking me tricky maths questions at 7.30am!

Ninja moves are then applied to 4-year-old to get him into school uniform!  Resulting in a lot of moaning from both him and me!

Moaning continues all the way to school, he hates phonics, he hates maths and anything that doesn't involve charging around outside getting as muddy as possible!

I enjoy my 6 hours to myself!!

When 3pm arrives, there's moaning that he can't run off by himself, moaning because whatever cardboard monstrosity he's made is falling to pieces as we fight the British winter weather walking back home, moaning because he can't have more than 1 'Freddo!' Moaning because he's got to take a bath, moaning because apparently I cooked the wrong dinner!

Ninja moves to get him into his pyjamas!

Moaning about having to read his school book, moaning because there can't be more than 300 bedtime stories!

Finishing up with me moaning because there's nothing good on TV!

Happy Monday everyone!! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷!!

A new pair of jeans

It's amazing how a new pair of jeans, or an old pair (but newly found 😉) can take you from feeling like you just can't 'adult' this week to feeling like you have the energy to take on the world!

This week involves many aspects of life and on a rainy Monday morning I couldn't see how I would ever make it to the weekend.  Then I got home from work to find a pair of jeans had been delivered which I had forgotten about, and I feel there may actually be a reason to get up tomorrow!

This was followed by this evening watching Reese Witherspoon on The One Show and realising she's over 40! Ok so she still looks like she's in her 20's and never seems to age but it gave me some comfort knowing I'm actually younger than someone who looks younger than me!

Happy Monday everyone, it's nearly done!!
