So there I was, stuffed to the gills, having to leave a good portion of my tea ‘cause I’d put far too much on my plate (yes, I know you’ll be stunned at this news but even I have my off days and at least there was no-one there to see it or bet on it!). My son, who having troughed his way through a sizeable portion of his own, decides he’s still hungry and proceeds to finish all that I had left on my plate! ATTA BOY!;)Following in my footsteps all the way!!!

Well, now I have the time and the energy to write a proper blog, I just wanted to tell the world about how proud I am of my gorgeous son, Brandon.

:]

He achieved such a lot last week that I am absolutely bursting. First, he attended Beavers( the 1 before cubs) for the first time and just settled straight in. As I was sat there, filling in paperwork, he went off and made friends with some boys straight away. He also came home with sunflower seeds which we have watered religiously and are about an inch high already!(well, we have dahlias on another blog so I thought I’d introduce some more flora!;))

Then on Saturday morning, he started at Taekwondo. It was here my baby had a crisis of confidence. After looking forward to it all week, we paid and he suddenly didn’t want to do it - after a little gentle persuasion, he joined in and loved it, he can’t wait to go back. But I am so proud of the fact that he overcame his fears and insecurities and joined in. Mummy’s little soldier:]

Sunday was the best day of all(and the worst for me on a physical level!). I taught Brandon how to ride his bike without the stabilisers. It was exhausting - we’d only gone 50 yards when I needed a rest and I’d carried the bike over half that distance as it was grass!:| Then, after nearly 2 hours, he was definitely off and what a thrill. Just to see my little darling, peddling away, legs going ten to the dozen after having fallen off loads and just getting straight back on - definitely the high point of my year so far. By God, I was f>:XXd though, I didn’t realise how unfit I was and I have pulled quite a few muscles I didn’t even know were there(sore still!) but worth it, oh so worth it.:]

So feeling pleased as punch, I bid you all farewell for now to go and put my little soldier in bed. Cheerio:p

Whoever invented work needs shooting. I am sat here with my heart in my mouth, the thought of stepping in that building fills me with dread. There has to be something more. Shit, I need to go for my bus else I’m going to be late for god damn work. Hope your working day is better than mine will be. Confident that mine will be shite, shite, shite:’(:|:-/

It’s gorgeous out, bright sunshine and the bluest of skies. So why have I still not got anything to look forward to? Come on, Big Man, smile on me once more! I’ve been missed out enough. It’s about time something good came my way. :]

So I’m sat here thinking about food and I’ve just remembered these little blue sweeties we had a work. Oh fab, oh joy - I was enraptured. You should try them…………………………………………… except I can’t remember what they’re called. Sorry - I’ll get back to you on that one;)

I stand before you today ( you know what I mean), totally lacking in focus, aimless, without a single goal, no ambitions…………..ETC:|. I need help. I exist - I don’t live. Well, I have decided that this is not good enough. I want and need something more out of life. However, I have no clues, no ideas, my brain is frozen. Anyone have any suggestions for me…………………..pretty, pretty please!:D( and I asked really nicely;))
