Flashing
I'm feeling good tonight, had a really good day, as usual my grandparents came to visit and managed to put my house in turmoil... lol my grandad is such a character...
He decided today he'd pay Sandra a few nice compliments, so all morning so kept referring to her as a "nice bit of crumpet" lol
I didn't know where to hide, i was crying with laughter, she was the rosiest shade id ever seem her, but found it amusing that grandad took such a shine to her, she did look beautiful today and had arrived with her hair all done, looking totally radiant, having her sisters around all helping is easing up the burdon on her, so shes beginning to glow again inside, we can see it so clearly, and its so lovely to see .......
I let Estelle go early today as i was in the mood for singing and didn't want to put her through another day of me singing away in headphones ....... im really enjoying having my music back........ but i don't think anyone else is, strange that........ lol
I seem to have a dizzy head on this week , Ive entertained everyone by falling on the floor at random..... which is strange, as i feel really well, but the dizzy blonde jokes really can stop now you guys, (and whatever it is youre putting in my tea) lol
Tonight I'm now going to enjoy myself and go do some photography...
my fella has wrote a strange list and every night i get to pick a number and do whatever it says on the list ........hehe .... so I'm looking forward to seeing whats in store .........
And they say small things please small minds........
....... I'll tell you later......lol

Flight
I was engrossed in a conversation last night about growth ....
I'm not talking about size I'm talking about a person growing in spirit to the point where they can feel themselves flying inside..
Its a feeling that each one of us are special, that whatever you set out to do you can achieve, a feeling of such happiness its unsurpassed, a feeling that your souls flying inside totally uplifted and free..
Being totally connected with your spiritual side and able to feel, experience and enjoy everything there is in life to feel without worrying ......
I had a friend round last night and out came the wine, i wouldn't normally drink it but i actually felt i wanted to try it, so its a first for me, so 2 bottles later we stumbled on this conversation and Ive now discovered i actually do like wine ...
She started it off by saying how she sees me, i was pretty shocked, the way she describes me i don't see myself as, or feel anything like she seems to see me, why? ..
why cant we feel it and why do we always see the bad in ourselves, not the good ?
To me she oozes confidence, seems so alive its infectious ... this is someone who really will make the most from her life ...no doubt
She also makes me want to, I'm not in fear of getting older... in fact I am looking forward to every moment, some think when you hit a certain age you have to behave in such a manner and you cant do this, that or the other, as you are simply to old to act like that, i don't believe that..
I missed 10 years of what some class as the best part of their life, to me it wasn't I spent years being abused brought down and controlled until it got to the point I had nothing left , I wasn't growing i was dying..
The older I become the happier I seem to feel about age, it really doesn't matter, we gain knowledge, experience and friendships as we go along to add to what we already have so its all great....
We can all look at ourselves in the mirror and frown about the bits that don't hold up so well and see the marks of age taking shape, but does it really change you as a person ... no...
No matter what you do it wont hold back the clock , you should be happy you're getting old .... many don't get given that gift ...
to just enjoy whats inside them, as that's the part that stays alive ..
Have you ever heard the saying the eyes don't lie, its true, whats around the outside may look completely different with years, but the sparkle will stay in them if you are alive inside...
Work stress, problems, its all takes its toll , although you feel like you're jumping hurdles, later you realise that certain events & past moments have affected the way you feel and little by little they strike at your confidence, bringing it down......
I remember a girl I knew once who had a younger partner he used to joke and say that he would trade her in for a younger model, why ? if he wanted someone younger he should have moved on and not kept her spirit morally down with his supposedly funny jibes & jokes that constantly reminded her of the fact she was getting older, they did eventually split for him to move in with his younger model but, what he hadn't bargained for was he had grown so old in his manner of ridiculing people and couldn't keep someone younger if he tried, if the mind dies then the rest follows suit shortly .... so it all kind of backfired on him ...
What this goes to show is its the mind that keeps you young, so instead of worrying about what you like like in that mirror work towards making yourself feel good inside, that's what we take with us through life ...
What we were talking about last night was, what do you need, feel, want, to make and keep you feeling alive inside, what makes some people feel they can really fly.... without wings...
For each of us its different, what works for one, may not work for another, its that unique way we are each made up that controls what it is we search for, what makes us complete...
While i lay in bed last night it was running through my head, society cant deal with free spirits, they try to keep us down, for whatever reasons it may be, people use words envious, jealousy, but i am the kind of person that gets hurt from that, I don't cause hurt, its just not in my nature, be it friends family whatever, I always have tried to do whats best for them, if someone was picking holes in themself and you could see they were down, wouldn't you try to bring their confidence up, tell them they are sexy and how special they were, help them to try to feel good about themselves again, assure them that they really do matter, or if someone had less that you did and you were able to give without thinking, just so they wouldn't have to struggle quite as much, would you ? .........
If you even had to think about it, then you need to look in and feel how they feel, that's the problem nowadays nobody feels anything.......except the bad stuff ... its sad...
I'm now thankfully back on my journey learning what i need to fly, my way will no doubt be different to some to what makes me happy, i don't care about the material things I do care about the feelings, and want to experience my life in full, I'm not ready to sleep and rip holes in myself anymore, i am what i am and I'm happy with that...
And as for my friend we intend going out having a giggle and causing mayhem...
After all life is exactly what you make it..... and what you make of it ...lol

Blowing candles
Its been another lovely day today, im feeling happy and not at all stressed i dont quite understand why, but all i do know is its lovely......
I had my sister come to visit last night for the 1st time in a year, it was quite emotional, her daughter is now expecting a baby so she came to talk to me, im glad she did, i had forgotten how much i love her, ive never been held so tightly as she did last night, it took me back a bit...
My spirit seems to be finally coming back, everyday im getting better, gaining strength and feeling positive ... it definately helps having the sun shine .....
Today is my boys birthday (12) he is so happy and got some lovely cards with the wrong age on ...(thanks to me) ooops but at least he has my sense of humour and has found it funny ....
My sister got him a room guard which managed to have my hair on end in terror this morning, he'd set it up and not told me... so in I go to make the beds with the whole house empty to hear a man talking to me and screaming at the top of his voice to get out !! i couldnt see the damm thing as hed hid it up........ lol ....thats the quickest i ever flew down the stairs in my life ... but when i finally managed to get my heart out of my mouth the funniest moment ive had in a long time.......
The day seems to have got funnier from there.... lol
Ive had one guy asking for close up shots of my bum (so he can see the material better )lol and at least 3 pervy emails so its been quite an eventful day ... with a few giggles ... at my expense as usual...
Tonight will be a real giggle, Creanes coming round with a bottle or two, so im looking forward to her funny stories and a good night all round.......
Its nice to finish a day in the same way it started ... full of laughter.......

Tranquil
Saw this picture and as its been such a beautiful day, I thought it would be a perfect way to end it.....
Ive really enjoyed my day, ive had my headset on listening to music all day as i worked and its made light of the hard work i had in front........ and it really made a difference...
Ive been subjecting my helper to singing all day and thoroughly enjoying myself .......lol (although im sure she didnt feel quite the same)
Tomorrow is my boys 12th birthday... so its going to be a good day......
he doesnt want a pressent !! only for the world to be happy (well thats what hes said lol) probably so he gets a better present as id be proud ....so hes learning from his dad well...........lol
Im now going to finish the night off with a brandy (which im halfway through) and a long hot soak in my tub.....
Im so pleased with myself today ive done more than i thought possible, but also have some time left for me ............
now thats not something I dont get to say everyday ..........
some kind of wonderful...............

Inner Vision
It was really strange but so many feelings started to appear with each track, music is very special, it can change my mood in an instant, certain songs seem to put me back into times when i was glowing inside, so my strength comes from it, if i was to be shut away on my desert island with only one thing, it would be my mp3 player id take without a doubt...
On this tape were songs i haven't played for so long, and i felt so different to how i did when i made the tape up, i think this is my problem ..... its what i want, miss and need ....
Ive got so swept up in trying to do whats best, that I'm being forced into non stop working, i don't want spare time talking about what we will do when its all done, there doesn't ever come a point when you catch up with everything, so that's the problem......
That's also where me and my partner differ......
He is passionate about work and finds it wonderful to push himself to be the best he can, which is great, I'm all up for that, and always try to do the best i can, but he needs a cut off point where enoughs, enough, so we can just be ourselves and enjoy our time ...
Why waste time talking about it, when you can do it, if life's for living ...then live it...
I was reading his blog last night and for every point he put across, i have an opposite feeling..
I don't want to be hemmed in to spend my quality time working for the day when we can sit back and relax, ill be dead and buried by then...
We were having a conversation about how i felt ,and why i was so down and out it came, the reasons i was trying to find for that empty feeling that grows bigger by the day... i think i finally discovered why ..
Its a feeling of not being in control of my own life, I'm getting frustrated and wanting that part back that's being killed off .......
I'm not feeling positive inside, its not the fact that things have been hard, as long as i feel like i am control of my life I'm OK... but its feeling out of your dept and not being able to explain it...
I'm one of these people that value simple things, sitting on the beach or feeling the sun on my face, its priceless to me, the rest is just food and bills that enable us to live freely, and i don't want anymore than i am already lucky enough to have already, if the bills are paid and you have enough to eat live and enjoy yourself why lose out on the good stuff .......
I watched my aunt work to live, she became a multi millionaire true, but it didn't bring her happiness, in fact it brought her sorrow, her husband got ill and took himself to bed and never got up again, all their lives they said how they would work for their retirement, but he never did, so all their life was missing out on the good things to then end without experiencing them...
I don't want that, i want to enjoy every minute as i go along, so if it all went tomorrow at least id go smiling inside, i 'll do the work but also switch off and get back to basics, its a balance.....
I think the work needed now is self worth......... its pretty low at the moment on my list...
and needs to now take priority .........

Girls day

characters
Shes so full of fun and mischief we are so similar...lol
When she left, me and my fella were talking about characters, and why some are so bubbly when others are just settling for a life of boredom....
We went out one night with Creane and Silvia, and i have to say it was probably the best night Ive ever had in a club...
It started as a pub crawl with Silvia, giving lap dances for drinks, it didn't matter who was there as this girl was just so full of energy its untrue but she was one of those girls you wanted to be around , she was infectious...
We got on a bus to head to the club as shed flagged down the driver to stop, he wasn't supposed to but did and what a giggle, there were us girls pole dancing all the way down the bus hanging on to the handrails with the driver not knowing whether to stop or join in..lol
the club was manic but brilliant, i ended up happily drunk and decided i wanted to hit the podium with Crane so we did, and next thing we knew some guy was taking pictures of us , she told me he was the manager and would hang them on the wall (not that i really cared) i was far to busy enjoying the music, but what she didn't say is we would be all over the website, with my dress being tugged off by Silvia and creane doing her Christina dancing..lol
I think it took me about a week to feel human but i didn't stop laughing all week, Ive not been able to get on a bus since and not giggle........
Shes now hit 25 and is at an age where shes becoming so confident, she probably cant see it, but it shines through, just a bottle and a good conversation showed that, and it was great to see her again...
As for her want to do list, lol wed probably be arrested on the first night there, but what the hell im always up for fun especially if it includes a pole and some music............... lol
see you soon and welcome to my blog ......... i bet you've been sitting up all night reading this haven't you? ........hehehe
Don't be a stranger bring a bottle and well do the cooking...........

Lifted
I spoke to my sister today after receiving a lovely text message with a photo of my newphew in it, with the words ' as you havent been to see me yet, i thought id send you a photo before he is a toddler'
It did get to me and thats obviously why she sent it, i rang her and thought it was only fair she knew what i had on my plate so hopfully she may understand a little more why i havent visited or been anywhere..
for start off she doesnt work, but has a car and hasnt been to see me either, i work full time, have 4 kids and am struggling to find enough time to wash my hair let alone go to hers and listen to how hard motherhood is and how she misses my mum and wished i could fly her home to visit ....mmmmm .. im good for something then ...
I have my vat bill in that needs paying and have to work extra hours when the bills come in, but to punish me for not having enough time when im trying so hard and my door is always open is cruel...id welcome them here and really enjoy the company, but they never come.....
Its easter weekend i am working, but im also painting eggs with the kids in between and doing my best to keep them happy, so im trying to keep them entertained and happy and so far it seems to be working well ....
I had a talk earlier with my fella and as things are looking brighter im getting back my oasis next week and a few things ive badly missed so although the last 2 months have been very tough im glad i have dug in deep and am getting it done....
At least i know never to take anything for granted.... so ill enjoy it all the more ...
Tonight im taking a night off, instead of salad which is all we seem to eat, im having chips... lol proper home cooked ones with fried eggs sausages and bacon...and enjoying every bite, then im gonna have a bath , turn myself back into the woman i havent been lately, light my candles and watch a movie......
Have a great Easter weekend everyone ................

birds call
What a difference the sun makes ...
We were all up at 3.30am this morning sitting in the garden with a cuppa, my partner and eldest are both working today but were so chirpy i had to giggle...im not used to company that time in the morning but it was lovely...
I have my sunshine working with me today helping me put straight the kids rooms and endless dens they keep forgetting to put away.. i had forgotten it was easter holidays til last week, and nearly died when they said they were off school now for 2 weeks .......
Its not been a problem so far as they seem to understand what im doing and why i even had one make me tea yesterday and offer to go to tescos for me..due to the lack of crisps ...lol
Anyway its a beautiful day, i am looking forward to some kind of weekend and nearly there....

just another day
...
Numb..
.....
.......
totally knackered..
.....
....
....
I cant wait to get back to normal this end and start living again...
Ive been told i have about 2 weeks of this as theres so much been put on my list i dont know where to turn next but im the only mug who can talk to computers here, (swear at them more like)
so day by day im working through the list, ive done a full stock take and am now getting organised at last to how i normally work, but my god i need a break, im so tired its untrue...
my fellas out working everyday, ive managed to cut the kids lose and let them play outside on the park, its not fair they suffer as mums got to work all through the school holidays, so im trusting them and hoping ive taught them enough to stay safe ...
I dont want a life on hold cause of a website shop, and i dont want to end up chained to this so im doing whats needed and then hopefully getting back to being me...
I havent got much nice stuff to blog about, as all ive done is work , the websites really busy so while its mad, im working round the clock so i can have a week or two away from everything, and over indulge on sex food rest and too much sangria...
Back to the grindstone,T breaks over..... god i really could sit in a hot bath, listen to some music and relax.....aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
not a hope in hell there...............lol
Sunday, April 1
Peaceful
I think i was over tired yesterday ...lol
Thankfully a good nights rest has now left me feeling much brighter...
I woke at 4 to get my fella up for work and did something i never normally do ...went back to bed..and got up at a more reasonable hour ...lol
Ive been keeping up with my excercising and have now started to speed skip again , so im hoping around another 2 weeks or so ill finally be ready to rejoin my kickboxing group..
im so looking forward seeing my friends again, it feels like ages since i last went so i have a lot to make up, but as i have to keep the belt i was awarded i had to make an effort and not walk back totally unfit as i would have really struggled, so im happy at least the work hasnt stopped everything, besides which the kids dont get their pocket money if mum doesnt do her sit ups every day..lol
they take turns to sit on my feet and hold them down for crunches, so i knew by making that their new job they wouldnt let me get away with not doing them...hehe
This week i have a busy one ahead but looking at what ive acheived with this mornings much clearer head makes me realise i am getting through it ...
anyway its a beautiful day im making the most of the sunshine and am working but in the garden with my laptop, so things cant be all that bad, can they..lol
