Precious moments

Recently my son starting going to Boys Brigade.

Last night, because its running to the end off the season for this club, they held an awards ceremony. Everyone has to come they said because all of the members will be getting something from a certificate to a badge to a trophy.
OK i thought I will take him, bearing in mind that this is a religious club and i don't really do religion much these days.
Be there for 7pm they said (normally bedtime for titch) but me and titch went. I left him with his group and i went and sat with some other mum's and dad's i know that were there. Bless them out they plodded and sat down in the front of the pews all full of expectation. The leaders did there talk and bless him (my son) he sat really well through all the boring stuff.

When it came to the presentations he was the second one up and received a certificate, which he was very proudly showing off to everybody.

When we got home later, whilst reading him his story and giving him his bedtime cuddle "Mummy" he said "thank you for coming tonight" ... Ah bless him Those moments so make up for the rushing about and trying to fit everything in... Precious moments to remember when things are tough ....

Home, a patchwork of things..

Patchwork In the last 11 years, I have moved house numerous times. 5 to be precise! I did love the whole thought of moving house, but now I am fed up with it. I helped my sister move 3 times and my mother move once, so in total that is 9 times (only in my eyes). My favourite place to live was the one and the only house in the last 11 years for me, it was a beautiful house on a busy street, but it was just down the road for my son's school (very handy). We had a cellar and a gorgeous long garden, all full of mature shrubs. (as well as the normal 3 bedrooms, kitchen etc). The one lovely thing I treated myself to and brought with me when I moved was a patchwork stained glass window for the front door.  Now my door was a mid to dark green and had small viewing panel in it, this was just plain and fairly quite boring so I replaced it with this beauty...  This was custom made and came all the way from America.

Holiday

My first ever abroad holiday. Yes I've gotten to the grand old age of 53 before I've planted my feet on foreign soil.  My flight was to Portugal, and my partner of 3 years was coming too. Unfortunately he's had a crisis and called off. That's fine I'm going anyway...  First flight omg brilliant, loved it.  And here I am , but it's raining. Will I let it spoil my experience? No chance in h***! Food, drink and cats today. What will tomorrow lead to. Let's wait and see.

Made me smile

This morning I and laughed and smiled at something I noticed my young son does, he loves to draw and write. Pretty normal you think? Yes .... but he does it everywhere. The other day we were travelling in the car, so he went in my bag and got some paper out. It wasn't until later I found out he had my diary. !! OH NO ...but no this was O.k. On some of the pages he drew me little pictures in the spaces allocated to the days (ah) some people may think how annoying will stop me from using that space. But no not me I will work around it, because every time I look at the page for that week I will smile and remember him and how sweet it is... Then I noticed in December (not quite the Christmas week) He has written he a little story about him self and our family.. Sweet or Annoying? I know which .... because this is one of the most stressful weeks near Christmas, I know when I look in my Diary I can see this and SMILE ......
