Apologies…again! I have been MIA for a while. I didn’t want to write any blogs until I was in a positive mindset. The last thing any one needs right now is some stranger bleating about their struggles. It took a while and this week I am feeling good so figured it was a good timeContinueContinue reading “Hello Everybody!!”

Why January Sucks
So far 2023 has consisted of loss, shame, stress and failure. That’s impressive considering we are only a month in. The new year arrived, I had no expectations, I had not made any resolutions, all I was hoping for was a calmer peaceful year ahead following the stress and panic of the previous twelve months.ContinueContinue reading “Why January Sucks”
Staring in to space
This post has taken some time to write and there have simply been too many ups and downs to keep track of. Therefore I have chosen three events to write about. One which makes me nervous, one which makes me proud and one which has made me feel useless. So much has happened and thereContinueContinue reading “Staring in to space”

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