Decorating Day

Its the day the decorations go up at the Hall today and i wasnt able to help as at the drs.  I like that day as it focuses my mind on advent.  With so much to do and prepare we and i guess i mean me need to remember to prepare our hearts and minds as well.

Mixed up Day

Sammy got his new glasses last night and went in to school wearing them although his teacher did comment i wonder how long they will last, and then he came home with them on and only took them off when he went for his bath......unheard off....But he was very upset when i picked him up and then didnt go for abigail even though i had explained she was staying late as she had handwritting club.  As we had to pick her up at 4 and we live 15mins away from school it wasnt worth going home.  So a trip to tesco and a   fredo frog soon made him smile.

Christmas preperation

the present shopping is done, the making of cards started, the wrapping started,  the christmas clean is done so were ready for the tree to go up next weekend but i need to get on with the cards and wrapping and i just remembered to do Abigails party invites so i feel a busy week ahead

Father Christmas

When i took sammy to opticians we saw father christmas as he was walking around the centre sammy went to say hello and got a chocolate.  Abigail was then upset because she hadnt seen him.  But normally she dosent want to as she says she is frightend i dont know what has brought the change about but a couple of weeks ago she asked if the father christmas you see are the real one so we had a chat about how they are his helpers as father christmas is to busy getting ready for christmas.  Not sure if thats why but know she wants to see him

Broken again

sammy got his new glasses on thursday and they were broken by last Tuesday.  I took him back to the opticians and as they dont have the frames he had he needed to pick some more and i dont know why as i didnt even now he knew who the simpsons are he picked a pair of simpsons glasses as long as he wears them he could have picked anything so we have to go back wednesday and then we will see.

lucky daddy

ste brought one ticket and won a bottle of pop must to the kids delight he brough a strip of raffle tickets and won 7th prize

school fair

it was the school fair today so as usual Abigail had her nails painted but i didnt ask her if she wanted her face painting as she always says no likewise we didnt visit father christmas as she gets frightend.....as we got in the car she complained i wanted to see father christmas i wanted my face painted.....trust me to get it wrong again

Be good

Abigail and sammy where stood at door waving goodbye and told them to be good when abigail told me to be a good nurse

Another fine mess

Having had a convesation with jeanette i had decided i was not going to do timbrels as she said it was fast and hard.  But at rehearsals today ste said off you go and i said im not doing it he and other people said have a go.  So i did and i struggled with bits but got others but more that that i felt like i belonged and it is a long time since i felt likt that.  I know it's my thought because i come out of songsters and uniform but i have felt more and more like an outsider and it dosent help when people tret you like that as well and dont include you in things or ignore you.  But suddenly i didnt feel like that and  i had conversations with people who i wouldnt normal.  The only thing is will i be able to keep up.  And how do i get my own back...

Cute

Sammy has been sat under his bed singing along to his christmas cd.....he is just so cute

Which List

Sammy was singing santa claus is coming to town and i asked him if he was on the naughty or good list and he replied the naughty...................not sure he is right though

Glasses 2

We returned today and he picked up Mr Bump which were his first pair but also are to small as he looks over them but after the lady showed him the glasses case the lego glasses come in that was decision made although it cost us a visit to macdonalds

Glasses

What a day after taking Sammy for eye test yesterday in which he did actually tell them what the pictures where so they could test his vision but he wouldnt look through his glasses so had to go back and see the doctor today he had to have drops in the outcome is there going to reduce his prescription to see if he will wear them so tried a diffrent opticians and they had spiderman which is what he said he wanted but then we couldnt get him to try them he hates change so that might be why.  He just kept putting his glasse son and the new ones in his case.  But we need to get a pair that fit better so will have to try again tomorrow

Favorite Thing

Asked sammy what his favorite thing at school is he replied home time

Remember remember the fith of November

I remember it but for very different reasons.  Fifth november 2004 i met ste for the first time and that was the start of our story.  Eight amazing years.

Stranger

How quickly i have gone from belonging to being a stranger if it wasnt for the kids and me wanting to bring them up with a faith and grounding for life i would just wwalk away and the sad thing is i wouldnt even be noticed.  Because im certanley not noticed when there
