I didn’t realise until tonight how much I need an easy chair in my shed ASAP I have barely set eyes on Lincoln since getting in from work as he spends his time gaming with his mates, Mommy needed space to discuss family matters pertaining to last night’s tragic news and Reagan had her mate staying for a sleepover acting like she owns the place

I sat in the kitchen after washing the pots up after tea watching a video on me phone finally with a chance to just sit down with a glass of wine, when in waltzes my daughter and her mate to make popcorn. Disturbed, went up to my room to chill and drink the wine when in waltzes Reagan alone this time, where’s my water bottle?

If I had and easy chair in my shed I could kick back against the world close the door and just be….

I had a job to do in Lymm at 9am so left after a coffee with Jamie, it was and easy install of an Access Point and UPS so I was back home by 11am with a pack of bacon. With Jamie at horse riding with Reagan I made Lincoln an me a butty each while I washed up and cleaned the kitchen, hung the washing and folded the dry clothes too.

James briefly came home but disappeared to a birthday party so sith both kids in their rooms playing with their mates (the new way to socialise) so on a sunny afternoon I just went out in the garden and sorted me shed out trying to use up some of the wood that is piling up in there

I spent a good few hours cutting drawer parts and shelves for my bench and the router table too by five though I’d had enough so treated meself to  Guinness outside King’s Lock after taking Billy around the canal walk.

We met as a family at the dinner table at 7:30 for Mexican after Jamie and me cooked nachos for everyone. I am now laid on the bed with a trapped nerve in my shoulder which is painful but more annoying than anything that I would just like to relax I have the chance to and my arm is numb…

It’s still a privilege to work from home and it was great to be able to do so all this week

I had the opportunity to take Reagan to the library where she has a summer job which I am so proud of her to have gotten. She volunteered to work 2 hour shifts throughout the summer and just thought she would feel good about getting her first job but she should get paid so I offered to pay her £3 per hour

I just thought how I would have felt working and seeing no benefit and just thought it was the right thing to do

How did we get to the point where I am taking my daughter to work and paying her to do so…

I discussed the blog with Jamie over the weekend and said that I am not sure me writing what I do everyday is very interesting and there doesn’t seem much point if no-one ever reads it only me and occasionally you. It helps me in a lot of ways to get things of my chest and just put the feelings and experiences down but recently I have not felt the needs to do that so it seemed pointless.

Until she reminded me, I had forgotten that this will be theirs one day and that is why I should just push through this lull in inspiration and will to put down my world in my blog and why I should keep doing it for as long as I can!

So since the 30 March 2010 you can read how my life changing affected me, mostly for the good but also the not so good too, I do try to add how I feel more over the last few years

She said that one day Reagan and Lincoln will be desperate to read every word and that is who you should be writing it for, even if you think you don’t need it they will love to read it one day and be able to find out who their dad was in the minutest detail!

14 years on this us today…

Still going strong, just trying to negotiate life as best we can doing our best to be happy every day because that’s what life is about at the end of the day.

Loved being away in Patty and Ians company in Warwick and today in Stratford but when they said they had to leave we decided to go home too. 30? heat was lovely walking around Stratford but it eventually took its toll on us and we ended up sat in the shade of a tree by the Avon

…but its good to be back home!
