Game of thrones night!!! an evening when I get to sit with my eldest son for an hour and watch the show together. Its great as we can sit and discuss it afterwards and its one hour a week I have him all to myself. He is almost 19 but he will still sit with his Mam which is fab :-)) im so glad we can still spend time together.
To all the mums out there who celebrate mothers day today, may you always leave a little sparkle everywhere you go and be loved and celebrated every day xx
One of the first cross stitch designs I did when I started getting back into it when my boys where little, wooow seems like a whole life time ago, I have done so many since then even after injury. I dont think I could give up my hobby for anyone xx
And I love the weekend!! time to relax with my hubby and sometimes without the kids on either a friday or saturday which is awesome, yes they are growing up and yes hat means they will be flying in the nest in the not too distant future, but that does give myself and hubby a chance to be a couple again and not just parents. Hope you all have a great weekend xx
Here is how my latest project is coming along, I am just trying to bring a little sunshine into my life help brighten up the darkness a little :-)) I am really enjoying it too!!! Shouldnt take make longer to complete either xx
We had a taste of summer but its been taken back, please bring us back the warm sunshine please!!! I am missing the beach already!!! I know its only the start of May but it was so nice over the easter break, ah well its almost the weekend. I am hoping this one goes better but I know better than to count my chickens!!!
Today I am feeling a little brighter, feeling that maybe I am not here to control everything, thinking I cant spent all my time being miserable even though I am the one who was hurt, when its gone over other peoples head. So I am starting with my kitchen, going to cook up a nice roast dinner and some strawberry and white chocolate chip muffins that will get me feeling some what normal again :-))
Today is cold and miserable, which kinda suits my mood!!! was gonna go to the beach...but now my day will be mostly trying to finish lego batman 2 on the ps3, hope its better where you are and that you have a great day xx
Yeap still under a cloud but I am quite aware that wouldnt solve anything at all in fact it would be worse on me tomorrow. I cant keep feeling like this I need to sit think and make some choices xx
Something happened last night that has hurt me, shocked me and rocked me to the core. Couldnt quite believe what was happening and it was all down to selfish behavior of a 17 year old child who thinks the world owes him a living. He has a lot of growing up to do and a lot of ground to make up before I feel like trusting him again. I wonder where I went wrong sometimes as a parent, but when your child gets into the wrong group of people and you do everything you can to try and get them away but the keep constanlty running back, what are you supposed to do? Im gonna take a deep breathe and try to figure out where we all go from here.
On a different note, something my eldest said to me also really shocked me and I really dont know how to deal with that news right now!!! theres already too much going on in my head!!! If I had one I could use a very large very strong drink right about now!!!!
Spent the morning up the church helping making my Mum look nice and tidy, been thinking so much the last few weeks about life and death and thinking about how much time and effort is wasted on the wrong people, especially when they throw it all back at you. Makes you wonder how much more you will keep taking before you just want to let go.
My hubby did an amazing job trying to touch up the gold lettering as his eyes are so bad but he just wanted to help. We both understand how hard it can be growing up with out a mam in our lives and its so very sweet of him to do this for me even though I know he is going to suffer for it later.
My Mam has an amazing view from where she is and my Dad said she always loved the view so I guess she would be happy knowing this is what she can see.
HHHMMMM, should I shouldnt I?? Do I start something new....do I work on one of my many WIPS....
ooohhh, come on.... you know me well enough!!! I was always going to start something new!!!!
And not before time too...ahhh come on he looks like a little mop!!! Well I asked for him to be short as he wiont stay out of the mud and he gets soooo dirty when we are down the beach. But I didnt quite prepare myself for how short he was gonna be!!! He looks like a different dog now!!! Ahhh our little Jensen, my little pudding!!!!
My Dad asked me to make some flowers for my Mams grave an the real ones are dying far to fast or being eaten as she is up on a hill side so we went down to Dunelms bought several different ones and I made these!!! Hope he likes them!!!
Than constantly struggling to keep everything clean and tidy all the time?? esp when you live in a house of boys, have two cats and a 10month old puppy??? I really do like throwing in the towel sometimes!!! Therefore I can totally agree with this because my life is never dull for a momment!!!!
And today the easter break is over and everything goes back to normal, its awesome apart from I dont feel great but im sure that will pass, its hayfever season again and just something I will have to get used to, that doesnt mean that I cant try and enjoy a cuppa with my Dad when he calls then try to enjoy the rest of the day. Happy monday everyone!!!
But this is what happens every time I go to sit on my bed and watch tv or a dvd and stitch!!! hhhmmm never going to get any done when he wants cuddles!!! And I will put down my stitching everytime because I am just so grateful he is still here with us, at least when Lilly joins me she is a good girl, well sometimes!!!!
All finished!!! and I love it :-)) It looks so awesome so black on the pink sparkle, hhhmmm I was asked if I was going to do it in white on black and then I wondered....do I have enough glow in the dark??? cos that would be way cool!!!
Hoping you all have an awesome weekend!!! I am gonna try after this week it may be just what the dr ordered!!!
Today still has me thinking, especially about my mams sister, its hard to take in the fact that the same cancer is slowly killing her that killed my mam in the same house 33 years ago next month. I have been up to the house to see her but it is so hard to go in there and see her struggling with the same thing. I guess life is so very short and you have to use it wisely and only be with and do the things that make you happy xx
Today had been a very sad day, when I know I was going to this ladies funeral I wasnt quite sure how I was feeling about it, I hadnt seen her in a long time or her daughter who I was best friends with when I was growing up. But the second we got there I knew I was going to be upset. My friend gave me the biggest hug and we both started crying. You dont realise how much impact someone has had on your life until they are gone and you forget how suddenly that come hit you with no way of going back. So please give the people you love hugs and show them you love them while you can. Im off to have a jd and honey and have a think about life xx
It's getting there!!! watching the first 3 series of games of thones at the same time is really pushing me to get this done!!!!
Happy birthday Mam, I really do wish you were still here with us to I could give you a big hug and a kiss, but I'm sure where ever you are you are giving them hell. Can hardly believe you have been gone so long, miss you love you always xxx
Here is a photo of our kitty Sammy after he was hit by a car last year and the vet said he was blind and would proberly have to be an indoor kitty from now on. Well, its a shame that she didnt see him bring the bird in yesterday!!! or climbing onto our neighbours roof as he loves to do so much!!!! Sammy youve had your dance with death once please slow down!!!!! you are always so crazy!!!!
This year, I would of tried to make another easter cake, I really would I was so happy with this one I mad a few years ago!!!!
Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!
AAAAWWWW a photo of my princess sleeping on my bed. I love her when she is nice and quiet like this :-))
Today is such a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the skies are blue, so we decided to have a bbq!! But when we aere enjoying the spring heat our poor puppy was over heating so we filled a paddling pool for him and he was much better!!! Its just a taste of warmer weather and he was struggling poor baby!!! We had a great night and was nice for my children to be home for it too as we hardly see our youngest these days.
Today I am going to try leave mine in my garden as I am busy busy busy cutting back mowing and painting the inside of my shed a datk purple as I would love to have somewhere to sit stitch and read in the summer!!! wish me luck"""
Tonight it was beautiful so we took Jensen for a walk along the beach!! well, he came home stinking haha i love it he is never white for long!!! my furry little pudding!!!!
Here is how my supernatural stitching is coming along :-)) All the out lines are now done so its much easier to sit and watch all 3 seasons of game of thrones, and I have to be honest im loving it :-))
I want ot have a good think about every area of my life, from my house to the people in it. A clean start is the best step forward. Time to leave the past where it belongs and look to the future. Time to be me and not mammy as my boys are growing.
My friday this week is cooking up a big pot of chilli and playing walking dead on the ps3 :-)) hope you all have a good weekend xx
Our kitties are driving us mad at the momment, they will insist on sharing the bed!!! lucky we love them to bits!!!
So here is my happy pic!!!! I am a very happy girl today!!!!
This may just happen to me tonight of we lose our game, so I had better keep all my fingers crossed for a good result!!! Come on Chelsea we can do it!!!!!!
Came across some of these that I used to make the other day, ah memories, theres so much competition out there over making everything these days I dont know if it would be worth while to start up again.
Theres been a few emotional days this week, so with that in mind as there is just so much going on I would need hours to blog it!! Iam going to cwtch up with hubby have a quiet one and watch a movie. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend xx
I spend most of mine playing singstar, rock band and guitar hero on my ps3 I loves it!!!!
See I told you I wouldnt be able to control myself!!!! Love my supernatural loads :-))
Finally all done!!! and I am just so proud of myself!!! I couldnt wait to share :-))
This is a project I want to have finished before the end of the summer, thats if I try really hard not to start something new...now I know I am never going to finish it!!!!
Here goes my month of photos!!! fingers crossed!!!!
This is what I need to try and life by from now ao. Its going to be hard work but im hoping I manage it.
33 years this year Mam, I wish that you could of seen us grow up and meet my boys, I hope I make you proud I love you so much xxx
I dont know how I did it but I did!!! I managed to lose 7lbs this week!!! must be the get fit with Mel B game i bought and nearly into a smaller size too!!! just have to hope i manage to keep it off!!!!!
My youngest turns 17 today, where has the time flown to? I hope he has a fantastic day I really do one of the last few we will get to spend with him before he is too big I guess xx
Today we are saying goodbye to my husbands sister, I didnt know her my husband didnt really either as she was his half sister, but we both thought it was important to go and say goodbye. We had a warm friendly welcome from the family we did know. Its always hard saying goodbye such a sad time.
Its not spring yet but is never the wrong time for the beach and our puppy loves it there!!!
How much mess can a teenage boy be comfy to life in in all honesty??? Im sure there is less rubbish on a tip than Leon's bedroom and I for one an sick to death of it and in all honesty Jkaes inst that much better. All these boys do in the house is their own rooms they are far to lazy to help with anything else and they still expect it all... Ive had enough. My hormones have kicked in big time today and between the feeling sick and being in total agony I am sick to death of everyone and everything. It would be wise to run the otherway if you see me coming for the next few days I am likely to say what I think rather tahn what I should you have all been warned in advance.
I really did try today!!! I got up I went shopping with my Dad, I did my zumba, chatted to a friend, sat with Sammy for an hour, got my mind set for a new look at a new week, new month.....it don't last long. And I should be used to it really, in all honesty is anything in this life as simple as it sounds??
It just goes to show what a person put into a situation who doesn't belong there can do to a family and its ripping ours apart. But there's nothing that can be done about it. I keep being told oh it will fizzle out, but I really don't think it will, once you mix with poison it rubs off on you and is harder and harder to pull away from it no matter how bad it gets. Time to turn a blind eye or its going to continue to eat at us all. Playing Chinese whispers so it says just with the people you want.
Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow x
