More Pics!!

OK so I'm totally embarrassing myself now, but I don't care! LOL.

Here's some pics of me when I was small. The top two are of when I was a baby, and on one I'm sitting on my aunts lap. The bottom left is my Nursery photo and the bottom right, I'm pre-nursery age with my brother John.

Writing a Book - A Poem.

I'm trying to sit and write a book,
I wish it was as easy as it looks,
But words they come and words they go,
My mind goes blank and I'm shouting NO!!!!

I so want to get this story done,
But I'm also having a lot of fun,
I'm creating characters I never knew
But so wish that they could come true,

There is a Grace and a Carly too,
I bet you wish that you knew
Who they were and what they do,
The journeys they have that would touch me and you,

But you'll have to wait till the day,
I write the last line and hope and pray,
That my story may get published so,
For the story to open and flow,

But if it doesn't get published at all,
I will still share the story with you,
For what is a book without a story,
and people to read in all it's glory,

It's something to pass down to my generations too,
They will know what it was like for me and you,
Knowing what it's like in this day and age,
I hope they enjoy every page.

Me With Long Hair!

I thought I'd add this pic here. It's me back in 1997. Before I knew about PC's and when my hair was beautiful and long!!! Oh I Miss it, if only back then I knew how gorgeous my hair was. *Sigh*

Btw I was drunk in this pic, that's why I'm posing like a tart! LOL.

It's Over!!

The Harry Potter series is over, well sort of as I can always re-read the books again which I plan to do over and over again. I do plan to re-read all my books, including The Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan & To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee, which I hated. But I've read books before and disliked them only to like them when I give them another go.

Atm I've had a headache these past four days in which I read Harry Potter non stop. I was going to take a rest from reading but now I'm reading HP & the Prisoner of Azkaban. I guess I'm just addicted to reading. But no doubt soon I'll be taking time out as that's how it goes.

The kids have broken up for Summer, Joe goes away with his auntie, uncle and cousin to Hasting for a week in August. He's really looking forward to that.

I'm hoping to be working from September, I'm so bored at home now.

18 year olds. ARRRHHHHHH!

Friday evening, my eldest son Alex went out to the pub with his mates. We hate it when he goes to the pub as it has caused problems, as he thinks it's so macho to drink. I compromised and said I'd wait up till 12am for him, but of course this wasn't good enough, as he said he would be out longer than that. He told me not to wait up, I warned him the door would be locked after 12am and that if he wasn't back by then he had better make arrangements to sleep at a friends house. So 11pm comes around and I text him to warn him I'll be going to bed soon and that I'll be locking up. So he texts me back, saying he's 18 and why am I doing this? He asks me not to lock the door. After a few text's, he decided to make his way home, not wanting to go to a friends that night.

Well, when he got in he was so drunk he could hardly stand, he was swaying all over the place and it was so clear on his face that he was just about 'here'. He started babbling about how we're too over protective etc, and I told him while he goes to the pub, I will always wait up for him and expect him home by 12am. (for some reason he wants to stay out till 2am! or longer!) Because of the things that happen in the world today, like kids getting stabbed for no reason these days, plus he can't drink sensibly we want him home at a decent hour so we know he's safe. There's also the issue from personal experience, as his dad was attacked with knives when he was just 20 for no reason, just because a bunch of idiots wanted someone to pick on, his dad is lucky he survived. So hubby has this on his mind and wants Alex to be safe. As parents it's our responsibility to keep him safe.

Anyway, after Alex has his little rant, he goes straight up stairs to bed......... And yes you guessed it, throws up all over his floor!!!! So I made him clean it up, there was no way I was touching it. Through coaching him, he got it all cleaned up in between him falling sleep, he had a rough night after that and spent Saturday with a rather nasty hang over HAHA!

I dread the next time he wants to go to the pub, which seems to be every Friday night now. I know we can't protect him all the time and if he wasn't going to the pub, I wouldn't have to wait up all the time. But he can't see that's it's just because we love him. He said his friends parents aren't like this, but like I said to him I don't give a stuff about them, I care about him. I care enough about him to want to make sure he's home safely, so I will be waiting up for him for as long as it takes for him to get out of this 'I must get drunk at the pub stage!'

An Angel

Tonight I saw an angel,
She was standing on the stage,
She wore a pretty smile,
She had a flower in her hair,
I looked up to this angel,
And knew she was the best,
I'll never forget when she saw us,
and put her hands up in the air,
She performed with such grace,
I loved every single moment,
I love this little angel,
She has my heart forever more.

Tonight I went and saw Sophie's Show with her mum, Jess. Sophie was fantastic and I was so proud of her on that stage. I felt so happy when she saw us and waved back. I am so proud of Sophie and my heart leapt when she performed. Although I don't have a little girl of my own, I know Sophie is my little girl. She's so beautiful.

Today - 17th July 2007

I had a lovely afternoon with my sister and niece today. I blow dried my niece's hair and then we sat and did two puzzles together, after that we read together. She is so bright she learnt quickly what certain words were. She's like an old soul in a young body.

My sister made me the most amazing lunch! It was a fruit Salad with Avocado (which I hadn't tried before) apple, sultanas, orange and walnuts. It was so delicious.

I can see Sophie (my niece) in years to come as a young lady, and I know she's going to make everyone proud, she already does. Saturday I am going to see her on stage doing her ballet dancing and tap dancing. I am really looking forward to that.

It was one of my neighbours funeral today, he was an elderly man and he found out in October that he had Cancer, and it quickly spread to the rest of his body. He leaves a wife, and a grown up family. I didn't really know him, only to say hello, yet when I see the hearse today there was a lump in my throat, I think I will miss seeing him. Although I didn't know him well, it was normal to see him outside doing his car and pottering about. Things like this, always make you wish you got to know people better and they make you think of your own actions in life.
