New years eve

As we face the new year i dont face it with as much peace and hope in my heart as normal. This year we will find out which school Abi will start in september and i cant believe she will be going to school, we also concerned that we will get her in to a good school. Then there is getting her to scholl and picked up after school while i am at work. Our favorite school is also the futherest away so we also need to sort out getting there the days i dont work. There is also ste job as we are not sure what will happen as there is a futher threat of redundances.

On the good side there is what to do for mums birthday as she is 70 this year. Whatever happens i now that me and ste will face it together. I also know that god has a plan for our lives and we need to trust in that plan even though we dont always agree with it.

Questions

Abigail seems to have changed her mind about Father Christmas and has been asking lots of questions. First of all want he is doing and we told her he is having a rest so now she keeps saying Father Christmas is having a rest. Then today she wanted to know why he comes down the chimney.

Cards

Abigails face was a picture as she was opening her christmas cards from Nursery. She got so much pleasure from each card. It reminded me to slow down and to think about christmas and its true meaning and to stop with the hustle and bustle of christmas and take pleasure in the simple act of giving.

anniversary





Cant believe its been 5 years since she got married, but they have been an amaising 5 years. But it has caused poor abigail some confusion as to why mummy and daddy were opening presents but she couldnt open presents from under tree and it wasnt her birthday. Then she asked me to make the snow go away. Then later she said she wants to get married when she is older i told her she has got to find someone as good as her daddy... Then she said she wants to share mummy and daddys sweets she is very good at sharing things that are not hers.... had a great night out with ste in the snow and it wasnt bungee jumping it was a trip on the big wheel and a walk round the shops in the snow.......thank you ste for a perfect day love you. I have to say though the biggest memory will be seeing ste when it started snowing he was like a kid in a toy shop. It was fun althoug reality hit when we set off home it took us about 1h and 20 mins to get home and we even saw snow ploughs. And of course poor macy dog whos dog flap wouldnt open for snow who then disappeared into the garden and was lost in the snow

Proud Mummy and Daddy



Were both very proud parents this evening. Her Angel Abigail was a star and did everything she had to including distoying her halo. As for her little shepherd he slept through first service and did make a brief appearance but was more intrested in playing with his shepherds crook than sitting still.

Schools

I could nerver understand the length some parents went to too get there child into the right school.........but im starting to........not that we can do anything our only option would be to change religion and thats not an option ......so i am just going to trust that she will get into the right school for her............As for completing the form online i think i do it by hand.........

Busy Saturday

someone needed to tell ste that its saturday he had me out of the house at quater past eight this morning. On the upside though we got loads of jobs done and he brought me breakfast. Abigail has been funny today at tea time when ste asked her if she wanted any of mum's noodles and she said no but asked him if he liked them. Ste said no he didnt like them and abi asked him had he tried them when ste said no she told him she should. Good advice but pity she wont try new things

Hopes and Fears

Went to Speke hall with the songsters tonight. And it had the purpose of making it feel like christmas, and bringing back memories. We sang o little town of bethlhem and aa always it reminded me of our wedding. But i came back yet again to the line that says all our hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. Which was the reason i chose it for our wedding but it made me think tonight. on my wedding day i had lots of hopes not any fears as i knew i was marring my true love and i had no doubts about us. I guess as i look back a lot of those hopes have come true and i knew we have been very fortunate as we have too healthy beautiful gorgeous children and a mad dog. There are regrets at times that dad did not get to spend longer as a grandad. My life with ste has been amaising and even throught the bad times he has been my rock. As we come up to our fifth anniversary and face a new year i do have some fears about the future not to do with us but to do with worries of bringing the kids up and jobs. But i knew that with ste and my firnds and family by my side and god. That things will be ok

Infact those hopes i had have been more than meet.

Countdown

We headed to Warrington this morning and i must admitt i thought it would be mad and we wouldnt get anything done. But it wasnt to bad and i managed to stock up on stuff at lush and then ste managed to do so some secret shopping with Abi and then me and Abi got new boots. Having a quiet afternoon doing jobs. Tonight im heading out to speke hall with the songsters looking forward to it i think it will be very christmasy.

Change of paln

Ste started the tradition of going to fleetwood then on to blackpool for chips on new years day, long before we meet. And every year we have kept this tradition apart from the year we went a week late due to abigail being born. We decided none of us were well enougth to make the journey and instead went to cheshire oaks, a bit concerned because we thought it would be mad. However it was quiet but as for shopping apart from a christmas present for ste sister ans summer coats for the kids we came home empty handed. but had a nice trip anyway with chips

Countdown

Its countdown time 24 days till Christmas 27 days till Abigails Birthday and 16 to our Wedding Anniversary. The plans for christmas our going well the presents our brought and wrapped. the cards are half done. The cake only needs icing and the decorations are up. Although not so sure ste is organised.
