What can I say about life since my last post. It has been emotional, challenging and, at points, a real kick in the teeth! Apologies in advance, there have been so many things that have happened my head is a little scrambled so please bear with me. Let’s start at the beginning. We celebrated theContinueContinue reading “A Kick in the Teeth”

Holidays and Rugby
Easter holidays are here!! That means a lot of happy memories being made, right? I don’t suppose anyone knows how to achieve this when sibling fights are occurring multiple times a day? If so, please feel free to share your tips with me. The holidays started off rather well. The first weekend was enjoyed byContinueContinue reading “Holidays and Rugby”
Head Space
Sometimes I wish I could understand my own brain. I played rugby on Sunday with the team but for some reason it all seemed to go wrong. I am fully aware that I was not in the right head space to play on Sunday. I was afraid to play. Why were you afraid? What wereContinueContinue reading “Head Space”
No such thing as a Quick Fix
I discovered this week that there is no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to your mindset. By all accounts this week should be a really good week. I should be in a really strong happy mindset following the success and fun enjoyed during Sundays match. A few small things happened thisContinueContinue reading “No such thing as a Quick Fix”
What a Weekend!
Wow! What a crazy week it has been this week. So many different emotions and worries. I am not sure where to begin. The week started with the girl testing positive for covid, which set in motion a further week of bloody homeschooling! Oh the joys. All I can say is that I am thankfulContinueContinue reading “What a Weekend!”

Frankly, there are no words within my vocabulary that are adequate and it would be a disserviceContinueContinue reading “My Sanctuary”

He has now reached the usual age for retirement which is 10 years old. Due to the pandemic there is a bit ofContinueContinue reading “Things we take for granted”
For the Greater Good…
So, this week has been a tough one. My son tested positive at the beginning of the week, as have many of his class mates, and as a result he has been in isolation. Homeschooling was back for the week. Google classroom still exists, the schoolwork uploaded and there it stays, taunting me daily. IContinueContinue reading “For the Greater Good…”
Moaning for the sake of Moaning
Admit it. We all love to have a good moan about something. I do it daily, it has become the new small talk. We moan about the weather, restrictions, traffic and, of course, the trials and tribulations of parenting. What happens when we have nothing left to complain about? What do people do who haveContinueContinue reading “Moaning for the sake of Moaning”
New Beginnings
So, as predicted, the feeling of being ahead didn’t last. The kids returned to school on Wednesday and by Thursday we were late getting there. There is a saying about best laid plans or some such thing which seems rather apt. However, we made it to the weekend. It was a rather hectic one butContinueContinue reading “New Beginnings”
