Friday I’m in Love…

Friday, January 13th, 2012

This week has been a tough one, my illness has taken a bit of a bad turn and I haven’t be able to walk so well.

This makes me sad, I know I will have to get used to it ( at least for now) , and people have much, much worse but it still makes me sad… okay, and grumpy…grumpy and sad.

And impossible *cough.. difficult to live with, I can be a little ray of sunshine and also a very big pain in the arse. I know it, my mum says its because I’m a Gemini, bless her .  I will go with that. I have a bitchy bad twin I guess..a bit like Niki/Jessica in Heroes ( only less literal of course, and less violent ;) )  .

Anyway, so as well as feeling proper pants,  I havent been able to walk, even the short distance to Milly’s kindergarten. But seeing as its only her second week  ( and she’s LOVING IT) I didnt want her to miss anything, so Big J has had to do the Milly school run  run everyday. This is on top of having to work from nine until 12 (pm)  everyday ( he has a big deadline coming up) .

He’s also brought me lunch everyday, and sent me funny texts. He has basically been a bit of a Jem, and it was so cute watching him push Mil’sta up the street in the buggy (something he never usually gets to do) . It made me smile, its true what they say, men take on a whole new level of hottness when they are with their babies,  and he is one hot Papa!  Im lucky,  I know that now for sure. It’s a shame its taken this weird illness to notice how lucky, but hay I guess that’s what they call a silver lining, I’ve been seeing a lot of them just lately.

So I have decided to run a new section on here, the Friday I’m in Love post ( love that song, love The Cure! There you go, there’s love all over already. Hehe  ; ).  I hope to write one every Friday , it will be dedicated to stuff that makes me (and hopefully you guys ) happy. Might be something arty, something foody, something fashion-y  or something personal. But hopefully it will be a reminder of those silver linings. Lets get our Shiny / Happy on,  and writing about them will help me (us) apriciate them, yes? yes ..I think so .

So Big J gets the first Friday Im in Love . No pictures of him though, he’s shy ;) .

See you next time lovelies, and remember its Friday, so be in ..with something ; )

The one where Jack gets stuck up a tree…

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

This weekend Big J took Teen Ellie, Little Milly, Eleven boy Jack and my lovely step daughter Aime May (9) to the woods.

I usually go with them, but my Mum was over and I thought it would be nice to spend a few uninterrupted moments of peace with her before she headed home on the train. The little  house we all share can get a bit crowded on family weekends,  its odd like that with second families. One weekend its just me, Big J and Milly, the next its a full on house party!   all fun though.  Anyhow, I digress….

So Big J was at the woods with the kids, I was perched on the sofa with Mum, having a very strange conversation about your parents having sex… (don’t ask) when I got this text from Big J….

 ….after some snigger’s  (read falling about laughing) from both me and mum  ( bad mummy, bad granny ) we started to get a bit worried.  What if he was stuck really high? what if he broke his legs when he eventually jumped down? should we get a taxi and come and help?!….

Just before night fall, after a whole hour of waiting, with no phone or text contact (no signal in the woods) , they came home.

Eventually after much cajoling Jay had to just yank Jack down from his “great” height….

 LOL! I think even baby Milly could have jumped down from here without injury … but  he is so stubborn my boy, when he decided to be “stuck” he was staying stuck… thank god we didn’t need the fire brigade.

Lesson 1- Don’t let Jack climb tree’s … like, ever! …..

Lesson 2 – Boys can be bigger drama queens than girls….

Lesson 3 – Don’t let Jack go to the woods unaided ( read, without me) .. “or you might be in for a surprise,  if you let Jack go down to the woods today, you wouldn’t believe your eyes,  lalala …. ” Bless him!

Lesson’s  learned ! ;D
