September. . .
saturday 28th
I'm still feeling pretty fed up and sick. I have been wearing pyjamas for 3days - thankfully I have many lovely pairs of pyjamas. I am the self crowned pyjama queen, don't you know!
Exciting news came about last night - fingers crossed that one of my NZ cousins might be coming to VISIT. . .with his lovely fianc� and baby Alex! Watch this space!
friday 27th
And just when I thought that being ill twice, back to back was bad enough - I get blooming Tonsillitis! After doing the homeopathic thing for a few days, I went to see the nasty doctor (the SAME ONE I saw 3 years ago, for the same thing, when I ended up in the hospital!) and he prescribed equally nasty antibiotics. Fingers crossed that it has been caught in time, and I don't have another damn hospital trip.
So, to all those who claimed that turning 30 was a breeze. . .you lied! I am falling apart, slowly, bit by bit! Woe is me!!!
Happy Birthday Dad!
monday 23rd
OK, so I had a great birthday - which I still haven't written about, not to mention my low key 'surprise' party! I didn't manage to write about either of these events because I had an awful stinking cold this past week, and then on friday 20th, the day I started feeling better from my cold - a child knocked my feet from under me and I've pulled or twisted or strained a 'something' in my back! I'm not a happy bunny - I just spent the whole weekend feeling incredibly sorry for myself, not able to sit still long enough to even type this out. Fingers crossed, I think I am feeling a little more mobile today - I'm just going to watch out for those child sized demons!!!
wednesday 11th
sunday 8th I've added a little photo page especially for the newest member of my family: Baby Alex!
saturday 7th cont...
saturday 7th So, today included, I have just 4 more days of my 'twenties' left - it is a weird concept for me. . .especially as I never really stopped being 21. And it could explain why I've been so damn emotional over these past few weeks - I tear up at the slightest thing. Anything happy, sad or indifferent brings tears to my eyes - I'm being quite serious! Just writing this has set me off!!!
I don't mind if anyone wants to take my mind off it...everyone's been so quiet recently. Did I mention that I had a hair cut. It took me 2 years to grow, and ten minutes to cut off!
friday 6th ....and I don't know if I mentioned it, but I am REALLY enjoying my COLDPLAY album - it is on like repeat 24/7 on my cd player (ok, well if I'm honest it's more like 6 hours a day, but 6/7 just looks dumb!) I cannot find a duff track on the whole cd. . .I read a magazine review that said track 8 'green eyes' wasn't quite as good as the rest - but I can't see it myself, I love that track ~ I think they are all pretty damn fantastic. Anyone care to agree, or disagree? Anyone care to play "find the duff track" with me? I'm almost certain that you'll win!
thursday 5th It's mini-me I wish I had these trousers!
tuesday 3rd
sunday 1st However, I am certainly enjoying Coldplay. . .very much.
Yesterday I wore jeans and a sweatshirt for the first time in MONTHS...
...I can't tell you how happy it made me! The crisp, clear autumn air is on it's way.
OK, so that first saturday entry was written in the early hours of saturday morning, after listening to Coldplay just one time too many! Happy Happy Happy!
That week went quickly - it was a hectic rush of busy. . .
. . .but I feel good. I can feel the season changing - and you know, I just love this time of year. I am always so much more productive and inspired in the autumn!
The most bizarre thing was yesterday evening ~ the sound of the rain on my window made me cry. I don't understand what is going on. It's kind of like the scene from "Amelie", when she's making the cake - but all the time. (NB. If this reference is too obscure for you, you'll just have to watch the film ~ it's not as though I haven't plugged it enough!)
I am feeling at peace.
The visiting noise and bustle has passed and I can at last relax!
Breath in. . . .breath out. . . . .
I went to the museum with clare and plenty of children today - it was fabulous! As we were getting out of the car, a gust of wind blew some leaves from the trees - I just turned to clare and said "it's autumn". . .and she knew just what I meant! I am a fall girl - I just dig the autumn months, I suffer through the summer - I really can't be doing with the heat, headaches brought on by the weather or the bright sunshine (not that we've seen much of that these past couple of weeks). Give me the crisp autumn air anyday!
Erm. I'm kind of suffering.
There is a really loud level of noise in my house at the moment.
I am trying to enjoy the weekend. . .not always that easy.
