She has been...

She waited until 7am as the kids didn't go to sleep until after midnight and I was in bed ..so she had to wait ...



E.B got them onesies each.. Haven't got a photo of Mad but here is Seb on his Flash one...




And Mads 1D lollies from. The UK




We had a very nice breakfast, just the 3 of us... Chocolate, mocha & fruit hot cross buns to choose from, and Big M milk..their favourite..

Then we went to mums for morning tea with my family...i made red velvet cakes




Home for a big walk with Mad and came home with a lost dog... After a few calls and an hour later her mum was here to pick her up...

Then we each did our own thing..Seb - Xbox, mad ..Skype, me - stitch..

Then mum came up for tea.. Nice tea with just the 4 of us, normally it's the whole family .. It was nice to have a quiet stress free day..

The Kids are doing fine, Seb was to go to his dads tonight, but chose not to, Mad is still here with me, they are old enough to make their own decisions of where they want to go.

Me - I am getting better day by day..and finally realize..there is nothing wrong with me, I did nothing wrong, I was loyal, committed and honest for 27yrs..
I can live with that...

I'm getting back to cooking and stitching which I enjoy, reading.. I need to find the time still.. There are so many things to do and so little time..working full time sucks.. But it pays the bills..

Happy Easter xxxx

So as I said...

I haven't been stitching ..but still been buying..
The Fab 4 couldn't resist this little cutey.. We all got suckered in to doing the auto ship program for Just Nan's ornament series.



Just Nan - Honey Bunny..

And the kids gave me a voucher for Christmas so it went on this...




Victoria Sampler - candy cane cottage ... To match the gingerbread house.. I will do one day..

And then I saw this...another Just Nan - Tea with honey..




And then.... The new Shepherds bush Grey snowman.. When I was in the US -Vegas went to the best cross stitch store and picked up the other snowmen, so I had to add to the collection...




And....... Yes another and.. This...



Quaker Balls by Amaryllis ... They have intrigued me so much. I had to get it..OMG the book is 30 pages long..but have been told they are "easy" ...mmm let's see if I ever do them..lol

Now I am saving for this pretty little thing...



I am selling all my scrapbooking stuff on eBay.. Haven't touched it in years..so you never know how soon I will have her on my bench whipping up delicious cakes ...

I'm now about to go wrap the birthday boys gifts... He had 3 boys over tonight for pizza...he said he didn't want a cake.. Until 4pm tonight in 35 degree heat ..he asks for 1.. So what does a mother do....



Goes to the supermarket and buys a Freddo frog ice-cream cake ..
The boys loved it... Went down well with pizza...

I'm still here....

And almost back to sat soccer..today was a practice game..in the heat..







Now home in the cool..and this "little" boy of mine is 12 tomorrow. We have 3 boys coming over tonight for Xbox pizza and whatever else.. Then tomorrow a quite day playing with his presents ..then a family tea...

All is ok here, the house has gone them and its all mine.. Thankfully no hassles, and he agreed to it all.. He really had no choice.

At the end of April mum , kids and myself are heading to Sydney for a few days.. I need a break away...

Seb is going good right now, seems to be ok with dad nights..Mad ...well she isn't even speaking to her dad at the minute, hasn't since end Jan, she has some issues with him and what he has done, she currently wants nothin to do with him.

So she is with me everyday.. I honestly think he can't change how she feels, but she needs time..and we can't force her to see him..she is 14 and has opinions and a mind of her own, and forcing her with all those girl hormones won't do any good I think..

Stitching wise.. I have done a small amount..but brought heaps...lol no stitching hasn't stopped me...haha

I'm thankful I have what I have..it may not be what I want ..but it could be worse.. And I have the best 3 BFF's who hear my whining, and offer advise..
