One Happy Boy

 

 

Bryan loves his Leavers jacket. I can't believe that my baby will be going to High School next year! This is him adopting a Sumo pose when I said "Let mummy take a picture of you in your new jacket." Incidentally that's how he ripped one of his brand new pants once.

I Felt The Earth Move Under My Feet.....

One fine day, some smart-ass thought it was a good idea to put that white piece of rigid, chair mat in the garage, SPIKE SIDE UP, I might add, in between our2 cars. Now I won't say who that smart-ass is, but the name rhymes with "cleric".
Normally, when I drive into the garage, I always close the garage door before I get out of the car. Always. So what happens is that it gets really, really dark inside.
So I get out of my car, as usual, walk towards the door, as usual, and then..... you see the corrugated side of the mat? Well, my left foot went under there, my right leg went over it, I tripped, I fell and lost a whole lot of skin as I skidded over the spikes.

Look at my beautifully embroidered knee. If you're familiar with skin tear categories, they're all Category 3s.

Now what would YOU do if this happened to you? Would you:

A) Stay on the ground and assess your wounds?

B) Cry and whimper for a bit?

or C) Grab your phone, dial "cleric" sounding name perpetrator and scccooooooollllllllddddd the living daylights out of him and then send him pictures of said wounds sustained because of his stupidity?

10th May 2015 ~ A Love Letter From Bryan

Isn't that sweet? A love letter from my son and an added bonus, a little charm. It was a loooooong letter too, written in ink and in his best (yes, that's HIS best) handwriting. I think he's destined to be a doctor o_o

10th May 2015 ~ Happy Mother's Day.... To Me!

I got woken up by clanging noises coming from the kitchen at 5.15am.... on a Sunday! Bless my firstborn, she woke up to assemble my breakfast with the cupcakes she baked from scratch yesterday. Then the clanging subsided and she went back to her room and I fell back asleep.

This was what I woke up to at 6.30am...

 

 

You, Caitlyn, my first offspring, have moved to the top of my list!
