So it turns out I may have poisoned the husband, not on purpose I hasten to add! Coleslaw was the culprit, fizzy coleslaw, with a way to go yet on its expiry date. Oh well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and slimmer on this occasion, although I wouldn’t recommend fizzy coleslaw as a diet regime.
I received a card from my Godmother Nancy last night. It brought happy tears to my eyes and the kick up the bottom to get back in to the flow of writing again.
She told me a lovely story about my Mum which warmed my heart and made me feel hugged by her.
Harry ambled over whilst I was washing the dishes (been a year, but I still keep forgetting we have a dishwasher) He questioned the goofy look on my face and I told him I was thinking about my Mum, here’s the conversation word for word,
Harry “ who is your Mum?”
Me “Nanny Jenny”
Harry “ can we see her?”
Me “ no because she’s gone to heaven and is an angel now or maybe even your fairy Grandmother”
Harry “ oh, is she the orange bits in the sky?”
Me “ what do you mean?”
Harry “ you know when we see the sun rise and we say it’s a hello from Nanny Jenny, is she the orange bits?”
Me “ I’m not sure about that Harry, but she is everywhere you just have to listen for her”
Harry “ is she in our house?”
Me “ maybe, I know she does come and visit us to make sure we’re okay and let us know she is looking out for us”
Harry “ she isn’t in the oven is she?” He says, pointing at the oven which I’d recently turned on.
Dear old Harry, always makes me laugh. Which is good as he is going through a phase which makes me want to scream!
Bedtime is hard, but I’m taking a parenting course which I believe is helping, but not as quickly as one would like.
The fourth time I put him to bed last night the dog ate my dinner off the side! I decided Dad would want me to finish the wine he left, for medicinal purposes.
Some days you have to search for the things that make you happy, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t there!
