Please bear with me or should that be bare? I always find those two confusing! Nope, definitely bear, we don’t need to all be getting naked although I am writing this from the bath where it is a necessity.
Anyway, as I was saying, I’m still slightly groggy with coming out from hibernation.
So, Christmas! What did we get? Something fluffy? Something cuddly? Something to make us smell nice, a tiny tincture maybe? Nope, blinking StrepA! Well thank you Santa Claus! I really thought I’d made the nice list! I would have preferred a lump of coal, but the way the fuel prices are going that might end up being what you get if you are on the good list! Fuel, this seasons gold and must have!
All that being said, we still had a wonderful Christmas Day spent in our new pyjamas, eating yummy food, playing games, watching films, opening pressies and laughing. Not laughing at the presents! Just laughing in general, there’s always a lot of that in our home and that’s one of the things I love the most.
Tuesday 2nd January Lee was back to work and the boys had a much needed inset day. The dogs were getting groomed and so were the boys, not at the same place as one of my mum friends questioned.
Another Mum friend popped something into the WhatsApp group about school. Bless her barnacles I thought to myself, she is ready to drop with a baby not exhaustion. So I gently reminded her it was an inset day only to receive a barrage of texts to the contrary from several of the mums.
It was 07:51! School starts at 08:30. I start work at 08:00! Lee had already left. I was still in my pyjamas and my hair was greasy. It was a **** show! But somehow we got through it and made it. Someone suggested the short notice made it easier for the boys to start their first day back, but I’m telling you it’s not a life style choice.
We’ve made it to Friday. Thank Crunchie and every other chocolate bar in the Galaxy! It appears I’ve accidentally stopped drinking alcohol. It wasn’t a conscious decision and I’m pretty sure I won’t be partaking in Dry January (quitters!), but so far I accidentally have and before you ask, no I don’t feel better for it.
2023 has been kind so far and having got in touch with my more Spiritual side due to the loss of a loved one on Boxing Day I can see a glimmer of light on the horizon, rays of hope and positivity.
So come on people, fresh year, new canvas, ready to paint what you wish. Mine is definitely going to be filled with sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.
Love and hugs, kisses and wishes xxx
