Reagan lost her PE kit earlier in the year, which Mommy replaced only for her to say last week she can not find her new PE kit, which this time also containing her trainers, which cost £50+ but in true Reagan fashion it’s not her fault, she’s looked everywhere someone MUST have stolen them! She […]
Jamie worked till 8 tonight but still found time to cook herself and the kids some tea leaving me lots of time once I’d finished work and taken Billy, so I had an hour in me shed playing darts. A great way to unwind and forget about the 2 hour meeting I had to finish […]
Tonight, I tried to explain what time it will be at each stage of our journey, and it got confusing, so I I had to write it down. Basically we leave Manchester at 14:30GMT and arrive in Denver 06:04GMT but we have booked a hotel next to the airport so hopefully we can stay awake […]

Reagan went back to school today after spending the weekend convalescing and as her Mom waved her off I just saw that glimmer of empowerment she has and just thought, she won’t spend the whole day at school, they’ll phone to say she needs to be picked up. Lincoln just gets on with life wearing […]
