Halloween

Eve'nin....

Ok, so it's not quite Halloween. I have only really discovered Halloween since having the wee yin. I didn't really pay much Attention before. But for two weeks now I have heard the words " is it Halloween yet, when is it? Can I be a witch? When is it? Is it Halloween yet?"

It is. Tomorrow. So we were dooking for apples at my mums today, each kid came away with around 11 each. I remember that, a a kid. Being so happy with apples.

It was nice to watch. Been very tired today. I honestly have no excuse. I normally have a bit of a hangover on a Saturday, which tends to continue the whole weekend, but I challenged myself to an alcohol free week last week, including the Friday night. I fully expected to see Saturday's in an amazing different light, through alcohol free eyes. I was surprised to say I didn't feel any different. Perhaps I was always just tired and not hungover at all.... (bummer) So with that in mind, I sit with a sloe gin and soda, thinking that today with it's extra hour, feels kinda long, doesn't it? The g and t, sorry, s, came out a whole hour earlier. Not that I am complaining, of course... But should really have looked at today with an attitude of "a whole hour extra! What to do?!" but instead I watched last nights Piers Morgan, with the noisy wee yin putting on barbie and ken voices. All very lovely, but oh so noisy. Why do barbie and ken shout at each other? :-)

I had a text tonight from my friend, the one from yesterday, she said they are going to shave her hair tomorrow. I offered to do it for her. Or at least give her a little pixie cut for the time being. She said that at least if it was a stranger she could be annoyed at them.

Ach.. Hubby was talking about some work stuff at the same time as these texts. I just felt like saying " does it really matter?" but of course, it does. Life, does. But sometimes you just listen to your worries in your brain and think, "hey, that will sort itself out. Life's fine." I'm thankful for mine. I just wish I could help others who aren't so fortunate right now..


Anyhooo..... On with the motley and all.....

Not sure when the last time I blipped was before yesterday, the wee yin has nursery on a Monday now, so much as it took aaaaages to get used to it, I now have five whole hours free in the morning. Free to clean the House, or do what I wish... Clean the house, mostly. Lovely to have time, just to chill, put some music on and be. Then, in the afternoon, she chooses the activity. So the whole afternoon is wonderful quality time together. Mondays are just magic. So, I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I always ask her to think as she drifts off to sleep what she would like to do with our afternoon. So.... I shall find out in the morning. :-)

Hope you all had a wonderful day.

And a great one tomorrow. X

don't spend your life dying to get old, dying to be someone, dying to get rich, dying to get a bigger house, car, better job... One day you might look back and find you lost your life dying.
