Some people

Tonight when my partner was checking his E-Mail discovered that someone had used one of his online accounts to order about £90 of songs from I-Tunes.

As soon as he said it I phoned my bank (damm I have hearing those darn automated services) but I reported my card as stolen (technically it had been) and the card was canceled. That at least means that no more money will be coming off that card (the one that was on the site that had the problem)

Though that means that I will have to wait for up to five days for my new card to arrive. I am not moaning though as I am just glad that noone else can use my card.

The site does not seem very good so I am going to get my partner to close his account down. I know that nothing is totally secure but it is better to stick to something that is known to be secure.

Early nights

I really am going to have to learn to go to be a bit earlier. The only advantage of going to bed later is that I have been able to deal with any problems that the wee ones might have when they wake in the middle of the night. However I am not getting a good sleep at the moment and that needs to change. Though it does not help that I have for a long time been in a night own habit and that changing this will take a bit of time.

I will never be a in bed by ten type person but if I can get in bed by twelve and then lights out at twelve thirty then that would be great.

My eldest got another sticker from school today. He told me that he did well with his reading. I am so glad that he likes reading. I love reading books and I am happy that he does too. He also told me that he got two more stickers for his chart. I am so happy that he is doing well so far. I hope that he keeps up the good work.

Tired

My fault though. I stayed up too late last night so I did not get enough sleep when I got up with the wee ones this morning. I need to do a better job tonight as I have been tired for a lot of the day.

I do need to work on how to deal with my temper when it gets on a short fuse. I do not think there will be a lot that I can do about stopping getting short tempered but dealing with it once it is here is the most important.

Lazy day

I had a lovely lie in today. I always like it when I get a lie in. I did not think it would happen though. Because of my step daughter sleeping over my partner and I sleep in the living room. To get a lie in I then sleep in my eldest sons bed for the lie in.

When I first went through I was disturbed a few times by my boys for various reasons. I was getting worried that I would not be able to get back to sleep. Thankfully I was though.

The day went well and the wee ones were really happy with the Yu-Gi-Oh cards that I gave them. I will never use the cards and they have really liked the cards that we have given them. They have done a pretty good job of looking after them. Though the card covers that we have put them in has really helped them.

I am making progress with the Japanese learning as well. I am getting more confident with the second lesson. I think I will listen to it once more before I move onto the next lesson.

My partner was listening to the theme tunes from Yu-Gi-Oh. I originally thought that they made the songs for the program, but it seems that they use songs that bands have created. There are a couple of the bands that I think I will buy some of their songs. I am not sure where I will get them from but I will see what I can find.

Full house tonight

We will be sleeping seven in a two bedroom flat tonight. My we ones are here as they normally are but my step daughter and her friend are also staying over.

Thankfully we are all able to fit in pretty well and it does not feel over crowded.

I have been in a really bad mood today. Thankfully I kept myself out of the way for a lot of the time, as I was cleaning the bedroom. I did take it out on the wee ones at some points but I was quick to apoologize. I really should not take my bad mood out on them.

Getting sorted

I managed to get the forms off today to apply for my eldest sons school dinners. That means that I will not have to pay for them from next week. I had forgotten to do this over the school holidays but thankfully while it was late this year it still was earlier than what I had done it last year.

Hopefully next year I will be even better.

Feeling much better

Thankfully the tablets did start working yesterday and today I feel so much better.

My head is not hurting much at all now. I am so relieved about that as it really was hurting. My partner will still do the school run tomorrow and I will take over as normal next week.

Though I am not happy that when he collects my eldest that he does not check to see if he has got all of his stuff. He has only been back a week and already he has lost three water bottles. I will not bother sending him with one tomorrow and leave it until Monday when I will be on the school run as normal.

I will be on the second Japanese lesson tonight. It is nice to be making some progress.

Shingles

Well that is what the doctor thinks it could be. She said that it could also be Folliculitis. So I have got treatment for the both of them.

Strangely enough though the doctor did not tell me that Shingles is contagious. I have asked my partner to do the school runs for the rest of the week (The wee ones have settled back to school and nursery really nicely) I am sure that I will be fine to do it next week. I will keep going to the shops though but I will have to make sure that I do not get too close to people. The mark on my face has dried up.


Though the pain is still there and my head feels like it is throbbing all of the time.

Though on a lighter note my mind has started drifting to a project that I would love to do. I have been watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's and in that there is the D-Wheel. I would love to make a road motorbike based on a mixture of the next two D-Wheels.

Head really hurting now

But at least I have a good idea of what it could be though.

I am now pretty sure it is Eczema. I have got a doctors appointment for tomorrow though and that shoudl hopefully confirm it.

It has been hurting so much today. It was so bad at one point that I just put some of the cream that I have already got. It was challenging getting it through my hair but I had to do something. The pain is like I am getting painful pins and needles in the back of my head. I have never had such pain from eczema before. But then again I have never had it at the back of my head before.

I will be glad when the pain has gone as it makes getting things done challenging.

Sore head

I do not know what is the matter with me but my head is really sore. I have either got insect bites that are taking their time to go down or I have got Eczema. But either way it is really starting to bug me now. I will have to go to the doctors if it carries on like this.

I have managed to listen to the first Japanese for the third time. I am not feeling so overwhelmed by it now. I have to listen to each lesson a few times before I move onto the next one so that I can properly take in what they are teaching. I found that for the first couple of times I was getting a little overwhelmed at some points but I felt comfortable all the way through today. I would like to ideally listen to a lesson a day.

When I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's today I found myself picking out the words that were featured in the lesson. I think that teaming up watching the cartoon with the lessons could really help me as it will good for me to see Japanese how it would normally be spoken.

Not sleeping well

I do not know what is the matter with me but I am not getting off to sleep very well at night. Even when I am tired. Maybe I have been leaving it until I am over tired too much.

It has just meant that I have not been getting a good sleep as last night I went to bed late and it took me a while to settle off and I was up early with the wee ones. At least I should get a lie in tomorrow so that should hopefully help.

First day back at school

The wee ones are back at school and nursery today.

I was prepared and had pretty much everything ready the night before. the only thing I needed to do was go out to the shop and get a bottle of water for my eldest. Getting them ready in the morning went well as well.

I got to see the new school today. It looks great. I am really impressed with it, there are lots of windows so plenty of natural light gets in. It creates a lovely feeling.

they all had fun. Though sadly my eldest son lost his wallet at school. I will have to ask about it tomorrow when I take them in.

Filling out forms

It was today that I realized that I had not filled out the form for getting my eldest his school dinners. I just thought it was for the clothing grant but today I checked and noticed it was also for the meals and milk. I will have to get that in as soon as possible. If I get it in quick then I will not have to pay for very long.

Going for a walk in the wood

I decided that while I did not get any work done in the shed I would take the wee ones around the wood instead.

Wasted summer

I knew I wanted to spend some time relaxing this summer but I really have taken it too far.

It suddenly dawned on me today that the summer holiday is nearly over and I have not done anything at all. I feel bad for having wasted all of that time. I have not even done much with the wee ones. I know there have been many wet days when we were not able to get anything done but not to do anything at all.

I have made good progress with sewing name tags into my eldest sons school uniform though. I have nearly got that done now. All I need to do is sew the name tags into the jumpers. I can do that tomorrow.

I really need to work on my motivation though. I also need to start meditating again. I am getting increasingly short tempered. I do not think that it helps that I have been spending far too much time on the computer.

Getting better

It has been funny since about the 2nd August.

Time really has flown but I do not seen to have done much (well apart from getting ill and adicted to a game on Facebook)

I was ill last week and I had to spend a night in hospital. Thankfully It was partial Bell's Palsy that I had got and so I was not really affected that much but it did take it out of me.

Thankfully I am now nearly at the end of my medication (I take my last steroid tomorrow) and I do not seem to need the eye gel any more.

I do need to start sewing on name tags tomorrow though. My eldest goes back to school next week and I have not done any at all. I have not even got him any shoes.

My birthday

It is my birthday today and I am 35.

I have had a really funky day today. I was not able to get a big cream cake for myself but I was still able to get cream cakes for us all.

I did not go out to the beach as I had have hoped but I still had a nice day. I treated myself to a really funky leopard print tool box. There were some tools in the box that had the same print on. I have never seen anything like it. It is awesome :)

The day was finished off with a duel with my partner. I won this time. It was a perfect day for me to win.

Rain, rain

Please stay away for just one day. I need to get some washing dried.

It was sunny in the morning and shortly after the clothes had been washed it started raining and the weather has not been dry for long enough to get them dry. I could just use a few good drying days.

Lets duel

Friday 31st

My partner and I had a duel for the first time tonight. It went really well. I lost but I was not bothered as I had fun and it was good to do. We will definitely have to do that more often. It will get better the more I know about the game and understand the cards and how they work.

I did well at activating the traps though and I started off really well, that was until I decided to be bold and attack his defense monster. It was still fun though.
