Week 20 – 15-21 May 2023

20-220.6

The week started with Mum’s birthday and as is tradition I went out for dinner with Dad and my sister. It is always lovely to have an excuse to go out together although it was short meal as I had to get to choir.

The Little Mister had the opportunity to participate in a Digital Leader day which he absolutely loved – anything to do with screens and technology and he is one happy boy!

We had a number of Cubs activities this week and I went to help with various gardening activity at Edward’s Cubs. There was much hilarity in general, amongst both the leaders and the kids. It was a fab evening.

On Friday evening The Mister and I darted between a family Golden Wedding party and to The Little Miss’ Ciubs where she was invested. She as so proud to get her neckie and due to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful friend Kayleigh she also received a fistful of badges as well as her investment badges.

Saturday was exceptionally busy as The Little Mister was involved in the Youth Games where he was playing in a hockey tournament in the afternoon and then there was the closing ceremony in the afternoon. It was fantastic to see so many kids participating in sport. In the middle of it all I popped out to sing at a lovely wedding.

What a fab week!

Week 11 – 13 – 19 March 2023

37

This has been a busy week but one full of good things.

The Little Miss took part in the Eisteddfod and she recited a poem – she did brilliantly and had lovely, kind comments from the adjudicator

The weather was good enough to have lunch in the garden at the weekend and we had a handsome, but stupid, male pheasant visiting the garden.

On Saturday I managed a fab cycle, swim at Horseshoe Pool with my friend Emma and then a trip to church for a green event which was lovely. So many people to catch up with.

The weekend ended with Mothering Sunday. Always a day of mixed emotions but one in which my sister and I talked a little about Mum whilst going out for dinner and visiting her grave with the children.

We have so many blessings and so much to be grateful for.

Week 9 – 27 February – 5 March 2023

8It has been an incredibly busy week.

On Thursday I had to go into work really early as I had to do a report for court but the plus side is that I got to leave early and went to a charity afternoon tea. I was easily one of the youngest person there and I was sat at a table with my lovely aunt and her fabulous friends. It was great fun.

On Friday evening The Little Mister had Cubs and they went climbing and did archery. The Little Miss also started at a different Cubs troop. She had a fabulous time and there were a lot of people there from her class.

22At the weekend The Little Miss participated in her first gala. On the Saturday she came joint second for her age with her friend and on the Sunday she got two silver and two bronze medals. She thoroughly enjoyed it and she was really competitive.

We also squeezed in a family concert which was great fun… although The Little Miss had a nap half way through!

The saddest thing this week was that our lovely pussy cat Betty was hit by a car and her injuries were too significant for her to survive and we had to have her put to sleep. I wept buckets when I had to make the decision, altough I am quite sure we made the rights decision. I will miss her a lot. She was the cat who would always sit next to me, or one me, when I was watching TV and she would be found snuggling up with the children over night. For such a small cat she has left a huge hole in our life.

Week 6 – 6-12 February 2023

1.2

1.4It has been a lovely week. The weather has been mainly clear and there are signs of spring everywhere. We have also had some truly gorgeous sunrises and sunsets – my Mum would have described them as ‘glorious’! I have enjoyed being out on Basil the bike all week. Commuting to work is much more enjoyable when it isn’t in the car!

We went out for a choir meal on Monday and then I went out with some social worker friends on Wednesday. Ut was lovely to spend time with different people.

The local paper featured a lovely article about my Auntie Doris who was a bit of a local heroine in WW2 when she ran a soup kitchen.

The week ended with a school disco and a visit from my cousin and her kids. A lovely week.

Week 3 – 16-22 January 2023

43This week has included a poorly Little Miss, a busy week at work and school, Betty the cat bringing her offerings to The Mister and leaving them in his shoe.

The Little Miss also had to do the Kick Challenge at swimming and she completely smashed it – the competition was who could swim 8 lengths with a float and short fins and she managed to do it in 3 minutes 31 seconds. She completely turned it on!

The Mister also squeezed himself into his tux and went out to a work awards do and on Saturday I went out with Dad to a charity ball. We were all shattered by Sunday but it was a good week. I discovered the Little Miss had been taking selfies with my phone with me asleep in the background.

Oh this has been such a tough week. I have really struggled with feeling stressed and I havem’t felt very well which has contributed to the difficulties.

These two have both been the lights of my week, but also one of the stresses. So much fun but so challenging!

The Little Miss is never happier at bedtime than when she is surrounded by cats.

I love it when they lie on her as it stops her getting up and down and mucking around!

30.1

Before I had children I was that person who would tut away when I saw kids sat at the table when they were out for dinner staring at a screen. These days I am definitely not that person!

This morning we had already been to the beach for a swim, been to church and spent time with friends. This little interlude was a glorious few minutes whilst we waited for Dad when I could drink my wine in peace.

I remember my mantra… “Low expectations equals high satisfaction.”

28.1A fab day off with the kids although we had a very early start as we had to drop The Mister at the airport at 7am!

I managed to get a lumpy but lovely swim in at Port Soif and then The Little Miss had a play date and The Little Mister had a cinema party.

This evening The Little Miss and I went out for dinner with Kayleigh. This is the face of an extremely tired child watch8ing the TV screen in the restaurant. I just think she is so beautiful.
