Whoa there .. don't all rush to comment on my lil ole blog. I kinda like blogging to myself. Its is only in deerence to those out there who 'might' moan that I spend as much time as I do correctingmy spellig mistakes and check-ish my grammar. Poof to you! My brain flys faster than my fingers so its no wonder they haven't time to catch up!

A little adapted nursery rhyme to sum up this am....

Little Miss Carys
sat eating her breakfast
sharing with Upsy Daisy and Pumpkin Pez
Along came a brother
and sat down beside her
and all hell broke loose once again!

THE END

pictures were taken but slow to upload. i have no patience and patrick is hovering like a hwak for some PC time.. so I'll do it later ...


("seeing how Monica has her own 2 Pcs and she still insists on using mine".. Patrick Doherty)

addendum to previous post

I am not a moron. I know how to spell. Spoell checker not working and I was too lazy to correct my own errors!

I got a telephone call and am over the moon....

I am soo PROUD of James. He had his review today in school and his feedback was GLOWING!

His confidence has grown in leaps and bounds and he has a bright future ahead of him. WELL DONE MATE, your cheering squad will always be here for you! woo hooo...

I go to schoooolllllll

Carys' new favourite phrase. " I gooo too scoooollll!" I go to school. yes she does! Carys started her playgroup last week. She goes Wed Thur and Fri morning at the local Methodist Church. She does look a little too small to be going and at 2.5 I do feel she mega guilty for sending her. She goes to sing songs. read stories and play with about 10 other 2.5 to 3 year olds. It can't be too bad right? I have turned her applicaiton form in to Scared Heart last week so I hope she gets accepted for Septmeber. For some reason subscriptions are at a peak for Catholic schools so I hope she gets in. It can only help that Adam already goes there... I think it gives you more of a chance if they have a brother or sister there already.

Carys got herself dressed this mroning. Black woollen tights, denim overall dress, green longsleeve T-shirt with a black/dayglo orange halloween shirt over that. oh and brown princess boots ( they are brown suede with a princess cameo on the front and yellow flowers down the side) I hope she never loses her 'eclectic' style. So what if she doesn't conform ehh??? Adam on the other hand needs to lose the " My school shirt is okay to wear 5 days on the trot.. the ketchup/dirt/juice/yogurt remnants don't matter" attitude. Poor thing he is taking my economy drive so seriously. He has appointed himself " Electricity Man" with the responsibility of turning off all redundant lights... he thinks if he wears his clothes longer the less we have to wash hence the washing machine can stay off longer!!! His logic is there.. but Adam.. NOOOOOO... clean clothes please! He is a miser in the making!

Anyway.. blogging get me into trouble.... I have been sat here with reading to do and I have visited no less then 5 blogs and typed my own contribution to blog-world. Its time for me to go. Au-revior (kids had french week in school thsi week but mreo about that later!)

back from the land of the living.

Well, as I am sure you noticed, I took a littel hiatus from blogging. A sabbatical of sorts as I was behind on EVERYTHING and had a lot of catching up to do. Had I 'popped' in to blog I would have stayed logged in and trwaled.. and trawled and trawled blogville. I have NO willpower as evidenced by the my physical state on the best of days!

January has gone by a bit too quickly. The come down after the holidays was cold turkey. The sure sharp shock of deadlines, musical rooms and no sleep has taken it's toll., and the everpresent aura of doom and gloom hasn't helped either.

January run down:

Maren came to visit form Sheffield *originally edgewood, NM

Adam moved out of his room and slept in with us for a few weeks

Eugenes *brother in laws* 50 birthday bash in Slough

Deadline for uni assignments

Carys crawling in to our bed every night

Grandfather passed away

Sightseeing in London

Getting Adam to sit down and do his literacy homework

Car went Kaput.. but brakes fixed

Mersey tunnels raised the toll cost AGAIN

reborn determination to use as LITTLE gas and electricity as possibel to save money

Reborn determination to cook more and eat out less to save money... hmm indian on sunday night, fish and chips last night, Costco baked potatoes tonight....need to revisit this one

Furiously planning trip to CHINA in April.

Sneaking off at every opportune moment to get some UNI reading done. If I never see another book on social work practice/ social policy/ and Law...... I don;t know how many times I start my sentences off with this.

How can I learn and retain Law whenI have attila the hun and his sidekick running circles around me?

Look.. I am going to have to go... Patrick has fallen asleep in the bath AGAIN... I can hear his snores from down here!!

Monica, Patrick, Carys, Adam and James are fine...

Happy Birthday!!! watch this one first

Happy b-day party for nina and Tio Danny..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

To Nina Cessi and Tio Danny... may your birthays be lovely and bright! We had a party without you... but your painted standins had a great time!

Love yous
