Finding peace



This morning has been such a good one, the boys are upstairs preparing for their holiday tomorrow, Lauren and me have been chatting away doing girly stuff and painting our nails, its lovely when you get up and dont have to get straight into work, I love weekends..

Yesterday my fella and me went off walking, originally it was to get those last minute bits the kids need for tomorrow but we ended up doing all those little things we never get time to do, it was lovely, Hes just like me in so many ways, what other guy would look so pleased to get a new windowscreen wiper..lol its been driving him mad as it was broke so even though it was sunny we were driving up the road with them on full.. Just because we could!

This week is such a big week for him his projects are all doing fine but he has a rather important meeting on Tuesday, i know he will do well, hes brighter than any man i know and if he doesnt know an answer will find it, lady luck landed on my plate when i met him, it doesnt matter what we dont have, its what we do that means the most, i have an amazing family a very sexy fella and so much love for this lot, I caught my daugher this morning trying to write to tescos for the mum of the year award, how sweet is that..

The kids are all officially in the summer holidays and although mother natures not being so kind with all this rain my lot are all enjoying themselves, I took them to see Harry Potter as promised so its stopped the nagging but we all agreed it wasnt as good as we hoped, the ending was a bit wish wash, netherless it was a lovely evening with us all coming home complaining of overeating, why do they make that popcorn so good, i ate a whole tub and was giggling away watching my fella munch through an enormous bag of what was supposed to the the kids sweets.. Im not sure who the biggest kids are, i think we win that title..lol

Today im chilling out and cooking something nice, ive got to do the rounds in a moment of checking the kids bags and making sure they havent forgotten anything but judging by the state of the bulging bags everything and my kitchen sinks in there.Several of my things have dissapeared overnight of course that mr nobody must have taken again, whoever would need styling mouse in a tent? i think their appearance will be the last thing they will be worrying about, judging by my eldest lads untouched soap bag last year ! lol

Im organising some fun stuff to do with Lauren this week, starting with a sleep over tomorrow night so its going to be a girly week and hopefully one that will allow me and my daughter some quality time together, we're riding tomorrow evening and both looking forward to the week ahead.

Im going to really miss the boys, but this is Brandon and Callums first holiday, so ill be smiling knowing they are having a great time, amusing really they get to experience canoeing before me! Dont you wish you were a boy sometimes.... I do .. lol

Time for breakfast.......

Week Ends and Starts



Its been a really good couple of days, Last night we were in Stalham for Sharon and Richards Cuban salsa class, it was a really god night, but the best part most people usually miss..lol

Right at the end last night there were 4 couples left and Richard got us doing rueda, lol i havent laughed that hard in a long time, it was hilarious, we were going so quick all i could see was Adrian running around with his arms waving about! it finished a great night off as usual and added the icing on the cake for us all, Thursdays now we really look so forward to, its not just the dancing its such a sociable night, every ones always so friendly...

Ive booked me and my fella up for the body styling classes now, i went in may to Sharon's class and know how good these are, it was what first got me into Cuban style, week after week she planned different things and every week was brilliant, i used to really look forward to them, so i for one am glad we are going to get that chance again, the guys will learn from Richard and if its half as good as Mays classes were then we are all in for one fun packed afternoon.. with many giggles......

It was an early start today, i was going to take the day off from the riding school but changed my mind last minute so prepared with a waterproof off i went...lol

What a day..........its been totally brilliant, i was worn out when i came home and apparently was falling asleep when my fella was talking to me so Ive grabbed an hour power knapp and woke up like Ive had a full nights sleep......lol I feel great !

Ive been out getting soaked all day and really enjoyed working there today, the men all went out into the fields so i was left alone to groom the horses once i had got them in.. that part i totally love, watching their expressions when you get that brush on their itchy bits..lol
You can see they realy enjoy it. I took 3 hours getting through them one by one, I totally lost track of time , so i must have been enjoying myself... I didnt leave though until i had done the last horse... how could i leave one covered in itches.......lol
But i totally loved it today.. the rain just made it better...
Walking the horses through the fields this morning was unbelieveable, the rain was steaming down, but the sun was out shining through it...
Looking across those meadows with the horses running free and that view, gave me such a feeling inside, i had to just stop and stand there staring, moments like that are priceless...

Kevin brought me dinner, the men even made me tea ! now thats what i call a good day...lol

I came home as black as my fella has ever seen me..... hehe
I was covered in mud from head to toe... god! it feels good sometimes to get like that ..
My fella has always laughed and said i clean up well, so hopefully by tonight and with the help of a long hot soak, I will....

Tonight we are out with our friends dancing, we haven't been for a few weeks, so are all meeting up having a couple of drinks and dancing the night away, Cuban style !!.. so i may swap my vodka for mojetos tonight.... I am rearing to go now, rested up and so .... looking forward to this weekend.....

We were taking the kids camping tomorrow night, but the weathers threatening to delay it again, so Ive come up with what i think are good ideas to compensate and intend on having a great time regardless..

Ive found a place that has a beautiful wood where we can camp, he hires kayaks out too ! theres a field full of horses and so much beautiful countryside to surround ourselves in, i am driving down there tomorrow to see if we can arrange something, i haven't seen such a pretty place since the roundhouse, its in north walsham but unseen, unless you know its there..which we thankfully do now.. its simply perfect to camp out, i have this vision of a blazing fire, me cooking on it and my kids faces smiling all playing Ray Meers, in the fires reflection, so I'm going to make it happen.....

My fellas just about completed all hs work now too thankfully, so after another long day tomorrow hes free.................lol

Now theres no excuses for him ... no time like the present I say.......
