Morning All,
A day late and a dollar short!!!!!!! Busy day, late night and too tired and emotional to type LOL
Normal day really, slight headache hanging around.......really hoping its my hormones and not the fact that we are trying to reduce the steroids as I am due to reduce them again today! My hand is now sporting a beautiful green bruise - I like the colour green so this is not so bad I suppose, could have been red and "I 'ate red I do" and is quite painful to the touch - OK I know........don't touch it then!!!!!!
The boys broke up from school early today and as soon as Sean got home I took the opportunity of................walking to Tesco's........yes that daily treat I actually miss LOL Well, I was shocked.......I got most of the way there and started to puff like an old steam train, 3 weeks of not doing "anything" except around the house has obviously taken its toll. I did the shopping and had to stop at least 3 times on the way home. THIS UPSET ME a lot folks......I mean bloody hell, can't even walk 12mins to the shops and back. Going to have to ask the onc next time about how I can overcome that. I have visions of me just getting more and more bloated and exploding........might be better than the end that "buttercup" has in store for me I guess LOL
Dinner tonight was a twist on my classic pasta dish (have told you all before about the pancetta, chicken, broccoli, parmesan etc etc) so tonight I cooked it as usual but then.........put it in a oven proof dish crumbled some feta cheese in...popped in the rest of the mozarella pearls I had and topped with breadcrumbs and more parmesan......under the grill for 10mins till all brown and crunchy on top. I would say it was a success, cos the bowls were all empty. Of course that could be a sign that my family were just very hungry and too scared to say they didn't like it LOL
Before we knew it, Jack was off to teach at Tony's karate club as we were going to watch Lara's leaving production at primary school. I am an emotional person anyway, I can cry at the drop of a hat but having my last child leave this school - I've had one there for the last 11 years - was going to be hard, especially as right now I don't even know if I will still be here to see Lara through secondary school. I was right, I kept it together for most of it, but towards the end when they were all thanking the teachers and talking about their favourite moments I noticed Lara crying - well that was it.......I blubbed. Still managed to take 70 fantastic photos though.
Being the creative type, we have bought Lara's class teacher and the sports teacher who she seems to have spent more time with some very nice bottles of wine......then in my graphics programme I have produced our very own personalised wine labels. I soaked the bottles and took off the labels....put them on a piece of paper so they know what they are drinking LOL and glued on our own. I am quite chuffed with how they turned out.
So this morning I have to get my butt into gear, having worked within the grounds of the primary school I have always been there to see my kids go in on their last day and.......take photos, being a keen shutterbug I try to capture everything much to the family's annoyance. Well today I am not working but as the boys are here to watch the puppy for me, I am going anyway....a friend is giving us a lift (so no puffing billy) and I can then pop into Tesco's on my way back and still get a bit of exercise.
Oh......I ordered my sister one of those bracelets.......should be here today with about 4 or 5 beads to start her off too, she has been amazing through my treatment so far, taking Jack to most of his orthodontal appts and arranging time off for different things. I hope she likes it.......of course......one extra bead fell into the shopping cart for me too ;)
Right, I need to get dressed today.......I woke up at 5.48am today the exact time that Ollie got me up yesterday - but he was still sleeping. Crept to the loo and back to bed without waking him only for Tony's alarm to go off at 6am!! Ah well, its given me a bit extra time to have a cuppa do this and hopefully still be ready by 8.15am.
Thought for today:
If you don't hurry up and let life know what you want, life will damned soon show you what you'll get.

Have not mastered Facebook, so was also intreaged by the bracelet. I sypathise with you over your last child leaving primary school , once they move up every year is so important and they go so quickly. love your thoughts of the day.
