Thanks for asking. Here are a few pictures of them I am trying to develop a watermark for our photos so you may see several variations appear in the next few weeks!
Yes he really is going to stop working.
No really- he is not going to be looking for a job once we move.
Actually he is really looking forward to spending more time with his sons and how an earth could you suggest that having this wonderful opportunity of time with them is beneath him as a man. It prooves beyond a doubt to me the kind of father and husband he is- not to stoop low but to be willing to accept the greatest challenge and most precious gift of time with his children. He is doing one of the most important things he may ever do in his life.
Actually I have not worked (for money anyway) for the last 3.5 years…so what are you saying about the role I have taken as a mother? Is it worthless?
He will cope, he has coped, he does cope- yes being a fulltime carer is hardwork but they are his children and he does know what he’s doing- it’s not like he hasn’t done any of the things before!! He may even be more patient and consistent than I have been.
Actually he is really looking forward to it, feels liberated and yes it was HIS decision.
Why is it that women look on his choice as such a gift and with so many good wishes and hopes for him but fellow men cannot help themselves but try to undermine him?
He is who he is, not perfect, but I love him and we vowed to be equals in life: priests, parents and friends. Others have put upon us expectations which attempt to deny us this fundamental part of our relationship. He has been stronger than I at restoring this equality and for this I will defend him at all costs.
Chocolate Count: Zero…hurray I am triumphing over the powers of Satan!!
Alcohol: Breastfeeding and cosleeping mean that this vice is well and truly conquored…that and the fact that I can’t reach the alcohol because I am vertically challenged.
Hours spent in fervent prayer: oh dear Lord! I am so embarrased (but it is only 13.38 so there’s time yet)…
Sleep: sleep?
Spent last night worrying about new car. Shiny new silver car which was delivered yesterday following previous house burglary and theft of car keys, car, wonderful designer bag that was a gift to self on being appointed to a new job and the they drove the car like lunatics and wrote it off. Anyway slept would be a joke. Went to bed about midnight. Worried about if I remembered to lock car- got up, car still there, phew. Couldn’t get back to sleep so wrote some correspondance for Back to School, um, I mean Church, Sunday. 2.30am decided must try to sleep. Rev’d Skywalker (my husband and star wars geek) was restless and proceeded to get up and check all possible entrances and exits in and out of the house and locate all sets of keys. Evil Rev’d Skywalker then decided to wake Rev’d Jones and ask about contents of wallet emptied out in search earlier. No chance of sleep now- paranoia all round. Thunderbird 3 (youngest son) then proceeded to pick up on anxiety of parents and be quite wakeful for the rest of the night. *sigh*
had.to.get.out.of.bed to call in and collect some things from the Parish office. Miss Money penny was in good form assisted by Q (it’s M’s day off) and I achieved all in speedy time and made my get away with Thunderbirds 1-3 to b&q.
oh money spent: too much…but that little red bus keyring was just soooo mine after loosing my keyring of 15 years in the burglary.
if you haven’t got it yet this is my attempt to stimulate myself into blogging having just re-read Bridget jones Diary…….
Whilst neither Mark nor I usually go in for his’n'hers items we recently stalked and shopped to look for something meaningful for our anniversary (which isn’t for a few weeks but we couldn’t wait!). I love etsy for unusal gifts and had previously found a Jewellery Artist I liked so we decided and ordered just 10 days ago and WOW. Here are a few pictures.
