Sunsets and sunrise

















What a night i had last night... sometimes the most special nights are definitely the ones that are not planned..lol

Ive tried Mexican food, wore a sombrero and discovered a place in the city that serves sangria and tequila in jugs..oops



My fellas still asleep so im waking up listening to nature and enjoying the silence, it gives me the best start to my day and allows me to wake up happily, so today is a good day already in my eyes..

I went out and brought some holiday brochures home yesterday, so i can 'oh and ahh' over the sunsets and hopefully find the beach i want to sit and watch the sunrise on, so far its down to 4 places but by the end of the month im booking and hanging those tickets up to torment myself with, Estelle has bought me back from America the sexiest cowboy hat so im all set, all i need is my passport and a bikini..lol


My fella was trying to get me back to Turkey, but we've done that and im not going backwards anymore so i want to go somewhere i haven't been where i can snorkel and dive, i also always wanted to do the Aztec and Inca trails , i know ill love the food there, so Mexico is definitely in my top 4....


Anyway i cant sit here dreaming of sunsets and beaches im gonna wake my lot of nicely, with a cooked breakfast and enjoy the day....The radios on, im smiling so what more could i ask for.....except of course a beach...lol

Postcards


God the weather is so beautiful and I'm stuck working.............lol

Its been a bit manic today, last nights photos came out a bit too dark so i have to re due them again tomorrow, i think it may have had something to do with taking the kids with us to the unit..oops my fella was a bit stressed and wasn't as focused as he has been recently, hes now refusing to do anymore if the kids are with me.. oops again !

They were a bit hard work well 2 were, within five min's my daughter was bored and decided she would start sweeping up muck everywhere, so we had to stop and come home.....

So what was going to be a dinner out on the way home ended up as beans on toast instead..lol

Today has flown by, my sister and grandparents are having a great time on their holiday, so Ive been thinking about them on that beach all afternoon.... :)

Ive had my pep talk from my fella today...as every ones off or booking breaks, so hes tried to inspire me and tell me if i work hard enough and keep digging deep, next year i can go ... but doesn't next year seem a long way off sometimes.......... if i dig much deeper than i am, ill be in Australia anyway without needing the flight....lol

Anyway Ive listened, am happy and will of course keep smiling and wholeheartedly wish you all a very happy holiday if you are now setting out or planning yours...

P.S if you don't have enough luggage to fill up your case though (I'm only small) and will fit in nicely ....

Just need an hours notice so i can drop the kids at the local kennel first ........ lol

Wish I Was There







Well the working weeks over for most of you... not for me though..lol

I'm happy to say the websites now safely across, so you can now see some of the changes, its a little mixed up bless (it was built by a blonde..lol) and I'm working on that this end, round the clock...
Ive got to re size all the thumbnails so they are bigger, which is better for the customers and once that's done i can then start to load all the new styles in.....yipeeee

Its been really hectic as people have been ringing through orders all day, and they can see images are not right in some areas, so I'm having to email pictures to customers, but that's my priority job and by Monday ill have that part done, please bear in mind i have hundreds to do though.... so be patient with me..lol

I had a terrible migraine last night that stopped me in my tracks, but went into work today as I'm the one that has to talk to the computer, so a little dizzy and very tired I'm slowly coming out the other end and will soon have it working to perfection, the hardest part thankfully is now complete so the work now is all good.........creative and to make it look pretty.....

Ive also got a weekend planned, of photoing all day and website changes all night.. so ive missed my invitation with my friends to go to ' The Ice Bar ' they are off tonight to drink vodka in a bar in London that's made completely of ice, but in my absence will take photos for me, so this one ill fill you all in with Monday, and tell you what they tell me..lol Ive promised ill go later if the experience is as good as they say....
they are also off to another place afterwards i would have loved to experienced lol, which just happens to have 120 naked girls that dance there! ...lol

I really wanted to go, but as the site came across last night and the database this lunchtime, i have no choice, but to get this done and get all the new gear photoed, so i hope all you guys have a good weekend for me.........you could have a vodka and orange juice too if you don't mind for me...lol

My sister and grandparents are on their way to their holiday in Turkey, and yes im stuck here as usual ....lol

but it is as they say, we all have to sacrifice things and then we enjoy it all the more when its our turn.... and its coming ...
So Ive wished them all bon voyage and will really miss them all.........

So tonight i have 120 naked women running through my head and visions of a beach in the sunset........... now that should make for some interesting dreams............lol

Ill let you know that one tomorrow.........hehe

School Holidays


Its Monday...lol the start of another busy week....

I have a mountain of things to get through in 2 days, ordered uniforms to collect for the triplets and my eldest has a list of odds and ends he needs, thankfully i did go and get everything he needs to wear, and thought i had the other 3 sorted out, until the school decided to change from a middle school to a Junior one...lol ......

Its been a really hard 6 weeks, I'm sure other mums will agree its far too long for a holiday the kids get bored and look on us as the entertainers, which is pretty hard when you have to work...

I look on it as Ive survived but there has been times when i could quite happily have pulled my hair out, one was a doddle, but with triplets on top it tends to make that see saw a bit uneven especially when they are nothing like each other..lol

Ive done the hair cuts (no not a basin job.. i am fully qualified to cut hair..lol) and must do a good job as i seem to have to cut every ones hair from around here, yet mine is a mess..lol

Ive got Julie leaving for holiday this week and a full stock room ready to list in a new website that happens today, so it should be an interesting week..lol

Im sad to say i had a huge row with my partner last night, we don't ever argue he seems to read me well and doesn't bring out my worst side, it was my smallest boy that started it off, hes been a real pain and started again last night, all i heard was screaming and thought my fella was killing him, instead of tucking him up so up i go in a rage catapult my partner across the room and grew my horns lol...oops I am pretty calm but when i lose it, i lose it with style..lol

What really happened was my eldest son took away Brandon's game boy, that id already confiscated, and the screaming was him throwing yet again another tantrum, my fella was trying to calm him down.. so im in the dog house today, but he did giggle the fact that i will stick up for my loved ones regardless, even when i don't for myself sometimes.......lol

so Ive got up and apologised at least a dozen times and hope if he reads this hell know i am really sorry for not reading the situation well enough, Brandon loves to put a gap in between us and up til now Ive never allowed it to happen, i honestly thought he had pushed my fella too far. he certainly does me most times....

I went to bed to have a letter left on my pillow from my eldest saying he doesn't want his mum and dad to split up, they have never seen us argue as we never do, so I'm putting last night down to me and will learn from that one..........

I'm going to work today, but my fella has taken a day off, to sit and talk to the kids together so they know every things OK, its not good for children to hear parents argue it really unsettles them, my last memories of my real father at home, were with my mum throwing a carving knife at him christmas morning.......... so if that's the only argument we have for another 10 years it would be one too many.......................
perhaps the holidays came to a head, and if any teachers are reading this please appreciate you wont get anyone much more patient than us two, so if you think you've had a hard 6 weeks marking books, don't tell me this morning, or you ll get a flea in your ear...........

I'm eating humble pie all day for meals sitting in the doghouse and will have a serious talk to my little boy tonight...

Roll on Wednesday....................
