Lots of spare time

Well, after another busy weekend of birthday parties and housework Faith has started full time at school!
I picked her up yesterday and all she could remember was what she had for pudding and that she played outside three times!
Arent kids memories great??!!!

I got back in touch with an old friend this afternoon. We had lost touch when I was having trouble with my abusive ex and she was having health trouble. It's a time we should have stuck together really and it makes me sad that I wasnt there when I could have helped her. I was encouraged not to see her and she got fed up of coming round because of what my ex was like. I cant blame her really, he wasnt nice, but it was only me who couldnt see it at the time. The old saying cant see the wood for the trees comes to mind!

Anyway, she is going to come round at the weekend with her family. I am really pleased and we were chatting like we have not been apart. Her health is not good but she sounds like she is battling on. Makes my worries about arthritis look tame!

Tickets

Got my tickets for the stamp show yesterday, they came through the post!!
They are the ones I won off UKscrappers. I thouht I was only getting one, but two turned up! I think we will go on the saturday because its the Paperdolls crop on the sunday. Mom is coming with us this time which will be great.

Faith is having fun at school, I wish it was next week and she was there full time! I will miss her but just going for less than two hours is a bit of a nightmare back and forward.

I always feel uncomfortable waiting for her aswell. I have never been good with the playground politics. As I have said before, I am terribly shy and cant just start chatting with anyone. Everyone seems to know each other from their kids being in the pre school together and I feel like I am back at school!

So this week will continue to be an uncomfortable one which not much chance to get stuff done. I worry that when I am at home Dave will get annoyed if I havent done the housework. His ex wife was incredibly laxy and although she was at home with their daughter all day all she did was chat on the phone and have her nails done. So, I start panicking when I have a lazy day in case he starts getting fed up. How insecure is that???

First day

Well Faith did well on her first day, she said they did nothing and it was boring then continued to tell me loads of stuff she had done! I love the way kids minds work!

Did manage to get some scrapping done. Found this photo of me and Dave in Tenerrife. He took me to see the dolphins as a suprise for my 30th. i was so overwhelmed I proposed to him. Luckily he said yes!!

Monday Morning

Monday again.
Faith starts afternoons at school today, then full time next week. Why cant they just start full time straight off? most kids have been in full time child care before school nowadays anyway. Or am I being presumptuous?

Had a busy weekend. Faith had two birthday parties to go too. I always feel like a bit of a spare part at kids parties. I get on well with a lot of the Mums but I always feel a bit out of place. Its not that I'm unsocial but I guess I am a bit shy (even after all these years). I'm not confident that anyone would actually want to sit and talk to me!

Not had chance to do much scrapping for that last couple of weeks. Lost my mojo a bit. Have to complete a CJ to post today so will do that this afternoon when Faith is at school. Bought two guinea pigs for the girls at the weekend, have to take them for their check up this morning, will put some picks up later.

Thanks for the comments, its nice to know someones out there!!!!!

Plodding on

Nearly through the summer holidays and although I love spending so much time with my daughter I feel like my brain is turning to mush!
I cant wait to get back to university and start using my brain again. Mind you, saying that, I have loads to do ready for my dissertation but my enthusiam is vanishing rapidly. I have stacks of reading but I always try and find other things to do!

I have rediscovered the playstation 2 and Harry Potter, the trouble is I feel like I should finish it asap!! I keep getting stuck, I think I am getting too old for gaming, either that or I am too normal!

So now I feel like I am wading through mud getting towards a really busy time and I know I should be doing something to easy the rush! My daughter starts school in september, she loves nursery and I know she will be just fine but I want to get her started and settled. She is also starting swimming lessons in septmeber, which I know she will love too! Onwards and upwards!
