Life update

Back again. This could be interesting, I'm trying to type here with Woody (cat) sprawled across my lap and left arm. Now I'm not the most efficient typist so I'm seriously handicapped here!!

Well I went for my Equine Touch course and it was fab, really enjoyed it. Blew my brain a bit and lots to remember but I feel I benefited hugely from it. Lets hope the boys agree!! I will always need guinea pigs too so may start groping friends for the practice. Butt shots is rumoured to be a fav....best test that one out eh!!

I took Beau with me on the course which was really nice. He had a mini spa break in complete luxury and I got to ride my boy there and back and to spend some quality time with him. I recommend it to anyone who loves their horse. Had to drag him away though, He always settles into Suzanne's very quickly! Back to reality now with a bump though!! xx

Catching up

Another busy week has gone by. I sometimes feel that life is constantly on the fast forward button, dont get chance to breathe. The christening went well. The children behaved really well and everyone seemed to have a good time. Some more than others I must say. Is it really correct to be THAT wasted on a sunday afernoon!!

I cant believe my boy is a year old! Doesn't seem that long ago I was pulling my hair out and wondering what I'd done. For those who dont know, Stefan wasn't the easiest baby. He seemed to scream louder and longer than any other child I know and has quite a quick temper. I truely felt I was failing as a mother as I tried in vain to juggle life and keep everybody happy. But we got here. He's still short tempered and has the loudest shout but is happier now he can get about and harrass his big sister!

Ive got my 3 day Equine Touch course as of tommorrow. Been really looking forward to it. It's massage techniques for horses and it's local so the best bit is that I can take Beau and spend some time with him too. I'll let you know how I get on.

Katie's just been given a proper guitar, she is so excited. Looks like mummy's going to have to brush up and teach her as Paul doesn't have the time. He's working so much lately.

Oh well best get back to work. dull dull dull!! bfn

turn down the lights
turn down the bed
turn down these voices inside my head

lay down with me
tell me no lies
just hold me close
dont patronise me
dont patronise me

i cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something that it wont
here in the dark
in these fine hours
I will lay down my heart, I'll feel the power
But you wont no you wont
and I cant make you love me if you dont................

working on it!

hey there, hope people are well? I never know if people dip into this and to be honest I'm not worried either way. I love to write and this is an ideal platform to exercise that pleasure and to get my feelings out there.



Well it's friday night. Paul is watching the Master's Golf on tv (yawn). I'm buggered if i'm going to join him when I can be chilling out here with the music on and lights turned low. I use the term watching very loosely though as I can hear the snoring from here. One day I may really question the older man choice!!



So what's been happening then you may ask. Well some things I'm not going to even disclose on here my darlings but life is following a strange path at the moment. I'd be lying if I said parts of it were dull as I recently had a fantastic night out with friends that to be honest made me wish I could turn back the clock and approach things differently. Now dont panic, I adore my children and feel lucky to be here with them but you know how it is, sometimes you just wish you'd been braver................



It's Stefan's birthday today. Wow 1 year gone already, how scary is that? We are doing the dutiful christening bit on Sunday and I think mum and I are hoping the church doesn't set alight when we cross the threshold!!! Dont get me wrong, everyone is allowed their own beliefs but it's not my bag. Bit of family PR going on here I think!



Families are strange though. I'm not a recluse but despite having lots of siblings ( 1 brother, 1 half brother and sister, 1 step brother and sister and Linda's 3 kids we dont keep in touch that much. Ricky has recently had some bad news re work and Andy is busy with his family and work and Julie, well she's in a dark place and I'm not sure what can save her. All I know is that I have 2 gorgeous nieces who I haven't seen in ages who are heading down the wrong path and I'm un able to save them.



Yes I know, lose the super hero hat Kelly but somethings never change I want to help the people I care about.



I've kinda spun out on a tangent tonight sorry. Lots of thoughts in my head and they are popping out willy nilly. Not entirely sure any of this is making an ounce of sense!! The one thing I really want to talk about is a bit too sensitive to discuss so I'll just have to sit on that one for a bit.
