Sunday preperations

Any parent will now, Sunday just seems to fly by.

 Before you know it it's Monday again and the chaos begins again!

 How i prep my Sundays to try an ease the stress ready for Monday.

1. I iron the kids uniform on Sunday evening.

 2. I use to be dreadful with trying to sort the pack lunches Monday morning, so i now make them Sunday evening.

 3. Shower time, instead of leaving this till last minuet i'll make sure there all clean by 6.00pm

 4. Home work, if they get any we do this together on Friday evening just so we can all enjoy the weekend together.

 5. Cleaning, i'll have a little tidy over the weekend if it needs doing but i will leave my big clean until Monday once the kids are at school.

 6. Dinner, unless we are going out for dinner i will always make sure its cooked by 3pm just so then the evenings are not a complete rush.

 7. I make sure that i have my clothes and bits ready Sunday evening as well, so i'm not the one holding everyone else up! 

 This is my routine, and i do love a good routine. Just keeping things simple and knowing what your doing really does make it all so much easier. Especially when the Monday morning alarm goes off! 

 Do you have any tips for a smooth running Monday?

A letter to my children.

A letter to my children, To you who showed me what love really is, who made my heart grow three times the size it was. You've grown me into the women i am today, the love have have for the three of you is like no other. You fill my world with chaos, but i wouldn't want it any other way. When i held you in my arms, i knew i would give my last breath for you, to promise to protect you for always. To cuddle you when your happy or sad, to play silly games with. You my darlings are my sunshine in the darkest of days, you give me a reason to wake up. My bond with you each is different, we all love to do different things. Yet those family days we have filled with memories can not be beat.  I'm so proud of you all, the humans you have grown in to You all have your off days but that's just life. I'm proud of me too for doing my best for you all, don't change my darlings.  Always be proud of what you achieve, always be yourself, stand up for what you believe

Anxiety...

Behind the smiles the laughter and the normal feeling, is that crushing, sinking worrying  feeling that is anxiety. 3 year ago whilst heading off on a family holiday, a sudden adrenaline rush hit me, with chest pains, finding it hard to catch my breath and a surge of complete worry. . . I had no idea what was happening to me, i managed to calm my self down but opening the window, taking some deep breaths and the reassurance from mark got me through, but what was this awful feeling? Since then I've still had to deal with *ANXIETY* rather a taboo subject until recently, was i embarrassed, ye i was i didn't feel like me any longer, and even though I've wanted what we have now for so long Jesus it was such a daunting time for me. . . Everyone has hard times in life, some just deal with it all better,maybe there stronger? but what I've learnt is we are all strong! ghosts haunt us all but we make each day our own. . . I feel grateful for every little thing i have
