Happy Happy!

I know..... I know ~ I have now officially turned into the worlds worst blogger ha ha !!
I have had the busiest of weeks ~ I think that I deliberately kept myself busy so that I wouldn't miss my boy too much.........it didn't work ha ha !!

Dan is back now ~ I picked him up yesterday and he was a little bit tired and a little bit emotional ~ but he has had the most wonderful week and as predicted ~ has come back with the most fantastic stories and memories that will stay with him for a life time.

It is quite strange ~ he seems bigger ~ more grown up ~ more independent ~ which I suppose was the whole point of the week ~ to give them a chance to team build and find their feet a bit more before they all make that huge jump up to senior school in September.

He brought back the biggest bag of dirty washing that I have EVER seem (tee hee!!) ~ and believe me I mean DIRTY!! They have been doing so many activities and have been outdoors in the gorgeous weather all week ~ so his clothes are going to need washing about 50 times to get them clean! Never mind ~ he has had fun and that is what matters the most.

Well, I have quite an easy day today ~ apart from Laurens dance classes I do not have alot else to do ~ so I fully intend to sit down with a cup of tea and catch up with all my blog friends (I have been so bad lately that this could take the whole day to do ha ha ) ~ I need to find out what has been happening in your lives ~ as I have felt lately like something has been missing ~ blogging is a huge part of my life and I cannot deny that I have missed you all soooo much!!!

Laurens preparations for her summer dance show are in full swing ~ I cannot believe that it is almost a whole year since the last one!! That is the thing with blogging ~ you have a record of these milestones and then you also have the realisation that time just rolls on by so quickly.....this year is shooting by me exceptionally fast ~ someone press that pause button for me PLEASE!!

I must also share a little something with you all ~ as I know that I am amongst friends (please be kind ha ha ha !!) .............I will be 39 soon (very soon) and I am having a total and utter crisis about it! Do not ask me why ~ I have no idea ~ I just woke up a couple of days ago and thought 'Oh my God ~ where is my life going ~ where the hell have the last 20 years gone.......what the hell will the next 20 years hold?' and then I had a total meltdown (I am such a wally ha ha !!).
I do not know why 39 has caused me so much stress ~ I am 40 next year and that doesn't worry me at all (Weird ha!!!) ~ maybe it is just the realisation that this is the last '30' birthday that I will have ~ I do not know!!!

Anyway ~ I am sure that I will be ok ~ and that this crisis will pass ~ they usually do (ha!).

Will be back again very soon with Daniels photos from his week away ~ the only problem is that he used a disposable camera ~ so we have to get them developed and then I will have to scan them into the computer............you all know that I am slightly challenged where anything technical is concerned ~ so the results could be......well ~ er ~ interesting??

Hope you are all well ~ look forward to my cuppa and catch up with you all later.XXXX

Hi Tabitha,
I am so glad that your Daniel had a great time away. It does them the world of good to be away for a while. Don't envey you having to do his laundry though.
I remember that I could not sleep the night I turned 40. Don't worry, you do get used to it and the comming years will bring you so many adventures and joys to share with your growing children.
Love and hugs XXXXOOOO

aww so glad to read an update! Glad Daniel is home and had a great trip! Can't wait to see the pictures.. I know a lot of places in the states will put the pictures onto CDs when you get them developed. That might be easier. No real words of advice for 39.. but I can say you look no where near your age :-)

Donna said...

Ah, to be 39 again! I could WALK back then, LOL! I'll be 57 in just a week and a half. I'm old enough to be your momma then, haha! Sit up straight and mind your mother! LOL!

The way I look at birthdays is this, and perhaps it will help. Each one is a gift - a milestone to celebrate on how many lives you have touched. Yes, it all passes quickly, but savor and ENJOY these days you have. You will look back later on and smile. I promise. The longer you live, the more precious it all becomes.

Lol! Age is a state of mind!
Kick up your heels and enjoy being another year older ,wiser and more seasoned.
This 39th year Girl,May just very well be YOUR year!

Happy Birthday tomorrow when it arrives and i hope it's not too hard for you!
Glad Dan had a great time ~ i just knew he would!
Doing all that dirty washing isn't the problem ~ it's the ironing that is!
Take Care!

Hi Tabitha, I'm so glad to hear that Daniel had such a great week! They are getting big quickly aren't they?
A blog is indeed a great way to document all the important (and sometimes not so important ;-) things that happen in our lives. AND it's a great way of making friends!
I've been really bad with birthdays lately (still have to make up to Dani and Tanya for missing theirs), so thanks for the heads up. And if I see what you accomplished in your 39th year I'd say: be proud and who knows, perhaps your 40th year will even be better! And I agree with Lindsay that you look nowhere near close to 39.

Lots of love and hugs my friend,
Tania
