Life begins …. Within Temptation leaves …

September 11, 2009 in Life, Music, family

It has often been said that Life Begins at 40. It is one of the most used quotes for people as they either reach their thirties or are in their thirties. I was always looking forward to it, but I have now realised that just because your life has begun again, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the way you wanted it to go.

Absolute

August 27, 2009 in family

I got my decree absolute through the post this morning. I am now officially divorced. I am happy that it is finally over. But it’s a major part of my life that is gone. It’s odd how you can feel happy and upset at the same time. I’ve been wanting this to come through for [...]

Soon be time ….

It’s getting near the end of the summer holidays now. For a lot of people, they go back to school next week – 3rd September, but for my kids and a lot of schools in this area, they go back the following week – 7th September. This is odd as I don’t remember the last [...]

One year later …

I knew from about a week ago that today was not going to be an easy day. When I woke I was just going to try and focus on going to see my friend and seeing the counsellor. Today was the perfect day for seeing her. I spent a lot of the time with a [...]

Second of two – Another day out

August 14, 2009 in Days out, Kids, family

Yesterday – 13th August, we went to London. We being myself, my son, my daughter, my sister and her two boys.
After an early rise, we caught the 09:02 bus from outside our house and had to go and get the spending money from the bank. Met my sister and her two boys at the train [...]

Day out

August 6, 2009 in Days out, Kids, Life, family

Had a day out today with my sister, my two kids and her youngest. We weren’t sure at first if we were going to go to just one castle or two, as yesterday Walmer Castle had a power failure and their website said that it was closed until further notice. So we started the trip heading to Deal Castle.

Divorce and stuff

August 1, 2009 in Home, Kids, Life, family, friends

Horoscope: Sensual Venus in your sign can amplify your desires, yet her current opposition to secretive Pluto could make it tough for you to share what’s on your mind. You might feel as if you are trapped now and cannot find a path to satisfaction. Don’t give up; keeping your needs hidden is a mistake, but blaming someone else for your current difficulty is even worse. Speaking from your heart and taking full responsibility for your own emotions can open the right door at the right time.

Wednesday

Had counselling yesterday – 21st July. Took the kids with me because there was no one else who could have them at the time. They stayed in the waiting room with a DS each while I went into the other room with my counsellor. Was difficult this week. Hoping that it’s going to improve over [...]

Past few days

July 20, 2009 in Health, Home, Kids, Life, family, friends

My daughter had her leaver’s assembly on Friday morning, and I went to it. Was very moving. They had a slide show of all the year 6 kids through the years, and although my daughter has only been at the school for 2 years, the change they made in her was worth every day of [...]

Prom night

July 17, 2009 in Health, Home, Kids, Life, family, friends

My daughter had her prom last night, and I must say, she looked fantastic.  I was going to take her down at 6.30, but when I went outside one of her school friends was there with her mum to pick up a neighbour’s kid, so she offered to take my daughter down as well, and [...]
