One more chance

I just got this e-mail from my wife:

"Have just had a very stressful half hour with L, which resulted in me losing my temper & I already felt low. She just will not co-operate, I only just made it on time.

She then took the uniform I washed & ironed last night & rolled around in the cut grass, wouldn't stop swinging her bag about & hit H & by the end of it all when I told her once more & I would cancel her friend coming home for lunch...

...she just stood & poked her tongue out at me & told me she got 4 chances because thats how old she is!"

L is a real handful at times.

Hello Dolly

Back from the hinterland, this year has been a bit of a blur.

I've had surgery (March) for a bi-lateral inguinal.

C had his tonsils and adenoids out in July.

L is waiting for her surgery for the same thing.

I've been promoted and am heading up a new team.

C just started his swimming lessons two weeks back.

L started gymnastics last week.

I had to give up this year's OU studies due to all the hospital visits, new workload and so on.

Going through the motions

I got so much else on my plate at the moment that the last thing I need is blogging guilt. I feel like I'm letting the kids down a bit by not noting down things here.

Hell, I haven't got the time so my blurbs here will have to be infrequent.

The twins are 4 today, only eight more months until they start school WOO-HOO. We're having a party at the bear factory on Saturday. They'll get to make a cuddly toy each. 12 kids at £12 a head works out about the same as hiring a hall and bouncy castle plus we don't have to provide any parry bags as all the kids will have toy to take home.

My Grandma has finally decided to move in with my Mum. She's 87 and her sister died last year so she's been a bit lonely on her own in Merseyside. Mum and Dad went to clear out her old bungalow this weekend and I got a wheel chair for her from Freecycle.

Bloody car broke down on Saturday, turns out it was just the battery but it cost £123 to join the RAC and get them to come out plus £71 for a battery. Put this on top of the twins birthday and having just come out of Christmas. January is proving to be very expensive. Roll on payday.
