 FOR TODAY Friday, 26th August 2011

Outside my window... black clouds and rain


I am thinking... will my family be okay tomorrow while I leave them for 12 hours!

From the kitchen... wafts of chicken roasting

I am wearing... blue jeans and a t-shirt


I am creating... absolutely nothing :-( unless you count the mountain in my waste paper basket!

I am going... to Kate Crane's art journaling class at Art From The Heart tomorrow! It's been booked since July.. can't believe it's actually tomorrow!

I am reading... Harry Potter.. The Goblet of Fire to DS1.. still! (almost finished!)

I am hoping... everyone is still friends when I return home

I am hearing...  The Penguins of Madagascar on tv.. they all hilarious! My 4 yr old is sat transfixed!

Around the house... newspaper all over the floor while our new furbaby litter trains

One of my favorite things... just sitting and watching our new little furball.. and seeing the smiles on everyones faces.. it's only her 3rd day with us and already she has brought so much joy to our household

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Harrogate! I'M GOING TO HARROGATE!!


Here are some pictures I am sharing...

Sorry it's a bit blurred.. it's impossible to get a steady photo of pussball while she's awake! She just loves Tom's bead frame!

.......... and my other little munchkin that refused to sleep in his bed last night!

    awe!!!! why do they have to grow up!!

One year ago today..

our darling Mr Glenn went to the stars.. one year on and my little world has been tipped upside down again.. remembering Mr Glenn today with fond memories of long happy days that I thought would last forever.... can't believe it's all over..

Always in our hearts...

The Creation
When God had made the earth and sky the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals the fish, the birds and bees. And when at last He'd finished not one was quite the same. He said, "I'll walk this world of mine   and give each one a name." And so He traveled far and wide and everywhere He went, a little creature followed Him until it's strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea, the little creature said, "Dear Lord, there's not one left for me." Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front and called you dog, My friend."

I'm praying Mr Glenn was waiting at Rainbow Bridge with my Mum looking out for my Dad. 

I miss them all so much my heart is broken..

Outside my window... pitch black with stars.. it's 1am.. I can't sleep!


I am thinking... why did I have to loose my Dad so soon after my Mum.. :-(

From the kitchen... CLOSED

I am wearing... scruffies


I am creating... can't tell.. it's TOP SECRET!

I am going... to loose it soon.. DS1 is pressing ALL my buttons and he knows it :-(

I am reading... Harry Potter.. The Goblet of Fire to DS1.. still! (almost finished!)


I am hoping... I daren't hope for anything right now.. 

I am hearing...  snoring!

Around the house... Sympathy cards and beautiful flowers.. I feel very touched.

One of my favorite things... at the moment.. the colours of wool I am using to make a crochet blanket that I can just pick up and work on for 5 mins.. (will add pic in the morning!)

A few plans for the rest of the week:  trying not to think about them..


Here are some pictures I am sharing... 

I alway believe there are many lessons to be learnt by stopping and taking the time to spend some quality time with Mother nature.. she has lots of lessons to teach us.. just look at these little ladybirds..

  LOOK where they live!

These photographs really speak to me and let me know there is hope in the world.. even if I don't feel any right now..

 FOR TODAY Tuesday, 9th August 2011

Outside my window... blue skies, white fluffy clouds & a faint sun


I am thinking... why do I still look at the clock every evening expecting my Dad's usual call to let me know he is okay?

From the kitchen... lots of washing up awaiting my attention!!

I am wearing... outside clothes.. I haven't had chance to change


I am creating... a surprise for an online event coming soon!!

I am going... back to the dreaded hospital to collect a certificate of death tomorrow and then to the Register Office....

I am reading... Harry Potter.. The Goblet of Fire to DS1.. still! (almost finished!)


I am hoping... I won't have changed too much when life settles down again..

I am hearing... the sounds of Super Mario Galaxy!

Around the house... Sympathy cards everywhere..

One of my favorite things... at the moment.. the colours of wool I am using to make a crochet blanket that I can just pick up and work on for 5 mins.. that helps me to forget everything that I've got to get organised...

A few plans for the rest of the week:  can't bare to think about it.. altho I do have an hair appointment.. I'm thinking of going short??


Here are some pictures I am sharing...
