feeling better

I got some time alone today when my partner took the wee ones. I had a lovely relaxing bath, tidied up a bit in the living room and meditated.

I used my chakra healing crystals when I meditated and I have felt lovely and calm since then. I am going to make sure that I meditate every day.

The wedding

The royal wedding that is. though it still was not enough for me to cancel my lie in for though. I recorded it so I can watch later.

Even more exciting though is that the American made for TV movie William and Kate was on again on channel five so I was able to record it and watch it later. So cheesy and great to watch. It actually was better quality than I thought, however I was looking at some of the actors and saying 'oh no, they are not supposed to be ***** are they?'

The wee ones, well we have had good and bad moments with them. I just need to keep a check on my temper when dealing with them. That is the most important.

Problems with my eldest

My eldest has been really rude recently. I think I will have a word with his teacher to find out if there is anything happening at school that has caused it. I think that he has started hanging around with someone new. I am not sure what to do to change his behavior.

Flood

Eek there was a flood in the bathroom. I was just watching a program in the evening when I discovered that there was water coming through the ceiling in the bathroom when I went to the toilet. Thankfully I was able to get the neighbor and get him to sort it out. It took a while for the water to stop, but thankfully it has. I will wait until morning before I clean up the mess. There was that much water coming through the light that it is not working at the moment.

Apart from that I have not had a too bad a day. I have had some moments when I got too ratty with the wee ones, but I need to keep working on my temper and not give up on changing a habit of a lifetime. It has been a long journey so far but I still have got a long way to go. I meditated today, I will do the same tomorrow to see how that helps me.

I still have not found my mobile phone sadly. This is the second day it has been missing. I was not able to see the text messages that my friend sent me about a committee meeting with the photography club. I could not make it as my partner was still away at that point. He got back at around ten.

Tired

I am so tired.

It is my fault for going to bed too late last night.

Today I have been busy sorting out the living room as that was really getting into a bad state.

Off to the beach

Yesterday when I collected my son from school he told me that we were going to the beach today. He had told the teachers. I had not planned on going, but I thought 'why not'

So today after lunch we got the train to Aberdour.

I went first to the Witch shop there. The woman there was so nice as she brought out paper and crayons for the wee ones to keep them entertained. that also meant that I could look around the shop in peace. It is such a funky shop. I really like it there. I need to make the effort to get there more often.

It was not that warm and I should have taken a jumper for my daughter as bless her she was cold on the beach. We had a funky time though and the boys managed to do a bit of exploring after their initial complaints about being cold (My daughter just stayed on the blanket that I had put on the beach wearing one of my tops)

After we spent some time on the beach we went to the park. The park is great and the wee ones loved it. It was warmer there as we were away from the sea front.

The wee ones were generally good, though there were moments when they would not listen and they messed around. We all enjoyed today though and I am really glad that we did it.

Feeling a bit down

I am not sure what has been the matter with me today, but my mood has been a bit up and down. It is doing well at the moment thankfully.

I have struggled throughout the day at points.

If only I could identify what is causing it, then I could do something to hopefully prevent it from happening.

My boys seem to be getting cheekier and cheekier by the day. Well not cheeky...rude. I will have to make sure that I do something about that. It is not very nice to be spoken to the way they are speaking to me at the moment and I am not going to tolerate it any more.

Nice walk

After the first attempt went kind of well (starting out well but not ending that way) I decided that I would still take them out for a walk again yesterday like I said I would.

I told them from the start that they had to behave themselves and that they were not to run off as well as listening to me when I tell them to do things.

The walk went so much better. We went a different way. We went the challenging way to the horses near the bridge. We went a lot further than I thought we would go. We ended up at the spot of Scotland's last duel and we went for a walk down a path that was near it. On the way back they wanted to go to the remains of a tower, but I told them that we could do that next time. I think I will bring them out for a walk every Saturday morning.

We all really enjoyed the walk and it was good for us to do something nice together.

I had my lie in today and I really must have needed it as even though I was woken at 11.30 I felt tired. However I had a broken sleep which did not help.

My partner took the wee ones over to his mums house today. Because he went earlier I got lots of time to myself today. I managed to relax and clean up.

Though sadly my motherboard died. We have no idea what caused it. It just cut out. We will get a refund on it as we only got it in January and we will have to order a new one. That is a shame as I have recently discovered how fun the Sims 3 is. I now know how to do what I want to do. All I would like to do it edit the houses and leave the computer to do the rest. Though I think I will have a part in making sure that my original family not only produce five babies, but also adopt five more. It is a shame that you cannot hire a full time nanny. Maybe that will be available in an expansion pack. There is enough of them released.

Not too happy

With my partner that is. He knew it was my lie in today, but he still got drunk last night. He then moaned about getting up, klept telling our daughter to bugger off when she tried to get him up and did not get up until ten.

I am not happy that he left them unsupervised, anything could have happened.

The only thing that he did to kind of make up for it was clean the side that I have cleared of stuff last night when I was speaking to my friend on the phone.

A sort of lie in

I was supposed to have a lie in but I ended up not really getting one.

All are well but tired

There has been no sickness today. Though I am still really tired. I am not sure if I will get a lie in tomorrow morning though as my partner is not feeling too well at the moment.

It was a long night

I managed to stay up last night, but it was a long night.

I have rediscovered how fun the Sims 3 can be. It is thanks to seeing how my friend edits the town. I am now free to edit my houses before I move the family in. I am also really happy with the couple that I have designed. I am now looking forward to getting them moved in.

More sickness

My youngest son has been sick today.

All are well

Again. Thankfully after my eldest was sick yesterday, he was not sick after and today he has been fine.

I am glad about this as I needed the lie in today and I know that it would have been disturbed had he or ay of the others been sick.

Sickness

My son was sick in the night. He was a little bit sick in his bed, on the couch and then a big bit once I gave him some milk.

Very busy

I have been such a busy bunny.

Firstly I rearranged the wee ones room to make way for the furniture that we was given. The after that I was in the mood for moving stuff so I also rearranged the living room. I am so pleased with how it looks now. There is more space to move about.

Busy, busy...so, so busy

The last few days have been quite crazy.

It started on Tuesday when I went to visit my friend. I ended up staying until gone one in the morning. I wanted to visit her before she moved.

Tired and...

Cranky.

I was fine in the morning. I even dealt with them really well. I did not get mad with them and giving them time out when needed went well. They were doing well also.

However this afternoon it all unraveled. I started working on the bedroom and I started getting would up and agitated. I kept getting disturbed and more and more stressed.

It was not too long before I was getting mad with the wee ones and there were time when I got really mad and upset them. I did have moments when I was not too bad. Though I was bad more times than what I should have been.

I will make sure that I go to bed at a good time so that I will get a good sleep, so I will not be tired tomorrow. I also need to rein in the stress when I start to get agitated.

Mothers day

Happy mothers day to me...ah well at least someone has said it to me even it is just me telling it to myself. I think I will have to train the wee ones to say it to my next year.

It is pretty sad when you think about it. I brought my own mothers day present. Though to be honest I prefer the home made cards and I would also like for the wee ones to do something nice for me instead of a present. However they will have to be taught about doing nice things for people and then that will come with time.

I am not too happy that my partner did not organize something for the wee ones to do for me and I was not happy that my lie inb was disturbed.

I really needed the lie as I ended up cleaning the kitchen until gone four in the morning. I needed to get it clean as the water was cut off today for nearly twelve hours. I had already got bottles of water in, but I could not leave the dishes all day without being washed.

The wee ones have had their good ad challenging moments. I too have had my moments, however I started to get better when I started to think about remembering that on supernanny, it was said that you discipline without getting angry. I gave out time out and did it in the way that they did on the program. I told my partner how to do it so that we can keep consistant.

I need to make sure that I get a bath before bed as I would like to use some of the nice bath stuff that I got for myself.

Busy

I have been so busy today. I did a bunch of washing in the morning as well as keeping a look out on the wee ones.

I then had to rush out to the shop to get some wrapping paper to wrap my partners mothers present up for tomorrow. I had managed to get the picture printed that I wanted. I got my partner to make a silly face for a picture that I wanted to put in the frame that I had got for her. I tried to print it off last night, but when I replaced the ink it was not printing out right. I just changed the ink this morning and it is working fine.

I printed off pictures of Vistlip with their new look. My daughter loves how they look and has put up the pictures that I printed for her by her bed.

I also read on a website that Vistlip are featured in a magazine. I looked into ordering it but sadly when I got to the checkout I discovered that it would cost me 3,700 yen for postage (no cheaper options) I decided that it would be too much money for a Magazine (The total cost of the order would have been £37.65) and I think that is too much for a magazine. I have E-Mailed Amazon to ask if there are any chances of including cheaper shipping methods. I checked another website which I know has cheaper shipping methods but sadly it says they are out of print. I have sent them an E-Mail to see if they will get any more copies in soon. I really hope that I am able to get a copy of it.

Though back to my busy day, after my partner had took the wee ones to his mums house I started work on the living room. It took me house to get it clean. Then once my partner got back I cleaned the wee ones room. The after that I cleaned my bedroom. Though there is a lot of stuff piled on the one chair it still took me a long time to do what I did. I cleared the floor and it looks so much nicer. I need to make it stay like that.

I am shattered now though and I still have work to do in the kitchen.

Well it will keep me fit.

Was not a happy bunny

In the morning that was. I was having my lie in when my partner came in and started moaning to me about my eldest sons juice bottle.

The bottle had leaked and he was making out like it was my fault that I had used a leaky bottle. I did not know that it would leak. He was then moaning about a note in the bag that was asking for a white T-Shirt. Then he was moaning about something else, but by that point I was ignoring him.

I did decide to get up and make sure that he had got a snack as well as a white T-Shirt. I then found out that I had forgotten to put a snack in his bag (though I am glad I did forget as it would have been ruined by the leaking bottle.

Thankfully I was able to get back to sleep and I had a good lie in. I was still annoyed because my lie in always seem to be disturbed in one way or another.

My wee ones are continuing to be good. They have moments, but them I can deal with. My youngest son was great in the afternoon. Both my boys had scattered the toys and after my partner said he would pick them up I told him nbot to as the wee ones need to learn. I managed to get them all picking them up. My youngest son was the best. He did such a good job of cleaning up. When he had finished he was really proud and wanted to show me what he had done.

He even carried on cleaning up and helped out in my bedroom. It was lovely to see him taking such an active interest in making sure the cleaning got done.
