Changes.

Well it seems I won't be studying this year, or not the course I had planned anyway. As it turns I'm needed at home, by more than just my 6 month old. I'm not complaining, if I had gone to study this month I would constantly be doing a juggling act between study, expressing milk, school run (with one child starting reception this year), and any housework I could manage. 

So without  study I don't have to pump, I can drop the kids at school in the morning & help my 5yo settle into his class. 

Life is still busy, but manageable. Most of the time. 

Valentines Day, 12 years & 5 kids later.

12 years ago today I was the blushing, busy, stressed out bride. Yup, we decided (as I suppose many do) to get married on Valentines Day. A day which turned out to be scorching hot, so much so that when we had our garden photo done several of the bridal party (including myself) ended up with heat exhaustion!! 

And 12 years later I'm still exhausted! But this time it's due to a full life. And I wouldn't have it any other way! Through all the ups & downs we have each other, to help lift us & give us a reason to keep on going.
