creative juices

I always start my blogs the same way so today I will be different.

Life is still pretty good and I seem to enjoy the simpler things in life these days. Tomorrow my day will be going to specsavers to pick up my glasses after a lazy breakfast - low carbs as I have decided to try to eat low gi which I always find difficult as I love bread. I think when the sun is shining and it is not cold there is alot of enjoyment just in being. I love to feel the sun on my face and am never happier than when the birds are singing, people are cutting their lawns and you can hear the screeches of children playing. I am slightly worried though because In our bush you can hear a loud buzzing noise and see at least a dozen bees flying about ao I am wary of them when I am hanging out my washing.

Anyway back to my day, rivetting as it was I know but I will probably just hang about the house, let the rabbits out and clean their hutches. There might be a neighbour around for coffee so that is always a good distraction and the children all get on really well. I might even take them to the beach which is only a couple of miles away. If it is a really nice day we might go on the bikes on the railway which passes an hour or so and is good fun. There is a tearoom as well so that always adds to the whole experience.

I really want to write a book based on some of my life experiences or a light and fluffy read. Can't decide which - maybe I should start light and fluffy and progress to the heavier tomes! Maybe not might just be too depressing!! Light and fluffy it is then! Really at the moment LIFE COULD NOT BE BETTER but I always start to worry when I think that because then it almost certainly gets worse! But just for the record - it is pretty good and I don't want to always be moaning - you get so bored of hearing yourself!

So I think that is my next thing- write that novel that is somewhere there, become a success and attend lots of book signings then retire from work or drop some hours and work from home. Then I can do my counselling course and be a lady of leisure too! I am unconvinced that anyone actually reads these blogs apart from Blonde moments who is one of my dearest and bestest friends and maybe another - she knows who she is. I expect she has given up following me as I rarely write and most of it is just drivel - but there you go, the contents of my mind.

Whilst I write my daughter no 2 is chanting that she is bored and it is 2206 so she should be in bed anyway!

It has been a long time since my last blog but I felt that I wanted to revisit it. I have in my abscence been doing a counselling course which I was passionate about but just found with everything else going on with my daughter who was in hospital again for bowel surgery that it was the wrong time. I did really love doing it though but will have to shelve it for another time. I met some great people and really looked forward to each session but I needed more time to do assignments and attend the sessions than I actually had!

In the meantime my husband has become less grumpy and has left his job which involved travelling an hour and  a half every day each way and meant that he was never around for pick up or drop offs with the children and if I ever needed him to cover I could usually guarantee that he was somewhere between guisborough and sunderland where he was working. Now his new job is starting next week and already I have become accustomed to getting in from work to dinner cooking, a tidy house and children being fed which has been lovely. He is also much happier, more attentive and appreciative of what I have been doing for the past years since we have had our children. It looks set to continue as his job is 20 mins away which means that he will still be around to help several times a week which will be great.

My little boy is just about to start big school and is excited about joining his big sisters in september. He has to go on a little induction course as well and I am excited about that. I am relieved because I thought I would be sad when he starts school but I am not I am excited for him and look forward to them all growing up and knowing what they will become. It is a great time as life is busy and full and the children are really fabulous - although not all of the time but I go to bed at night content and happy with my life and that has to say something. Admittedly we are going into summer and I do love the possibilities of this time of year but I don't think that is the only reason. I have lots of things planned for the summer time and I am really looking forward to so many things. We have a week booked down in Devon and I have a couple of weekends away booked. All in all a good time ahead.
