IT IS STUPID O`CLOCK!

THE CAR !

It is stupid o`clock on a Sunday morning and I am awake but the 8 year old is not!
Now that is just not fair.
Plus she still has a funny tummy (I know..... too much detail) so no trip with the childminder again.
But she is still surgically attached to the computer so she cannot be that sick!

ARIEL EATING CORNED BEEF HASH PIE

And I am sad as Ariel has gone back to Syria for the final part of her academic year.
And Belle is in Florida.
And Anastasia is in Vienna.
And I miss them all so much.
But hey..........that is me just being a Mama.

`Not this nothing time.Not this waiting room of the world.` CS Lewis Shadowlands

and this is a reason for me to be feeling better.CS Lewis described that time after Christmas until the start of Spring as that `nothing time` and for me I feel it is over when the clocks change back.
And thankfully they have changed!
Even having to change the time on my ever growing collection of clocks is not a hardship.
I also have a new clock........ a little black cuckoo clock!

FIONA IN HER FIELD OF DREAMS
TAKING PHOTOS FOR COLLEGE

Sad news,
another camera has expired on me and this time SnoWhite did not drop it!
But RunningMan bought me a new one for Mothering Sunday, be prepared for me to be taking more photos with the lighter nights.

Napoleon the bunny has managed to escape from his hutch.....I am convinced he is hiding in the garden but it was too dark last night to go searching for him.
Ungrateful little swine!
It is not as if he doesn`t get fed and watered and looked after as he is now huge since we re-homed him, he was quite small before because he was constantly escaping and so not getting fed.

It was Red Nose Day
You can just see Beauty standing next to her teacher dressed as Cinderella.

GUESS WHO?

Now I really like Grafitti but this is just not art.

`And baby bears bed was just right.



Beauty playing The Three Bears in IKEA


A recent trip to Roath Park
Check out the Goonies t shirt!

Beauty, Mama and hufen ia!

I LOVE MALTESERS!

I TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF BEAUTY AND ME!

BEAUTY TOOK THIS PICTURE OF ME

MY BABIES
THEY ARE SO CUTE

Children can be disgusting little beasts even when they don`t try very hard!
On Wednesday I bought my self a box of maltesers(the only chocolates I really buy and eat)and didn`t eat them but put them in the fridge but Thursday Fiona asked if she coulh have ONE so I said yes.Beauty found them, wanted ONE and Fiona let her have the WHOLE box and she ate them all!But she didn`t eat all of them but sucked the chocolate off and left the malt balls behind, everywhere.....plus there was chocolate all over the computer.
Beauty has been off school with a funny tummy for over a week so it is definitely a trip to the doctors.She is eating and drinking perfectly fine and she is as regular as ever but once a day.....yuk! Nice morning conversation.
The problem with Beauty and funny tummys which she seems to get a lot off is that when she gets them she loses a lot of weight each time and then she has to be built up again.She loves crisps and last year I stopped buying them AND then she got sick so I allowed her them again and when she had put on weight again,I stopped them.
When we stay in hotels,the first thing that Beauty does is make herself comfortable!

BEAUTY AWOKE AT 5:50AM

On Thursday evening I stayed in the Beeches Hotel in Wrexham and it is a very nice place.Beauty loved her supper of fish and chips.



The evening was slightly ruined by two ladies sat opposite us who started talking quite loudly when Beauty and I sat down about why they wouldn`t have long hair.

ME AND MY LONG HAIR!
(AND YES THE CURLS ARE NATURAL AND DIFFICULT TO TAME!)

BEAUTY AND HER LONG HAIR!

They weren`t that much older than me,maybe early 50`s but they had that unisex haircut that older women seem to have.The girls have made me promise not to cut my hair!

PICTURES OF THE HOTEL ROOM FOR ANASTASIA TO SEE

BEAUTY ENJOYING HER `COMPOSA`
COMPOSA IS WHAT SHE CALLS COCO POPS
WHY ?
WHO KNOWS!

Beauty has just got up and is damaging my ears with pleas to go on the computer but I am going to be strong and finish my post.
I have to apologise for not blogging more often but in the last few months I have just not been well enough,when Beauty is in school I try and sleep to get my energy back and when Beauty is home then computer time is just not happening.

THE HOTEL ART
I ENJOY TAKING PICTURES OF HOTEL ART
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN

Ariel is home from Syria for a few days but we have seen little of her as she is out and about having lots of fun.
She has been to institute, the temple,visiting with S and R and of course shopping with Fiona in town.
SnoWhite will be going to visit Ariel in Syria at the start of the start of April.
I pray there will be no international incidents!!!!!!
Because I do not have the money or inclination to go to Syria to sort it out.

HOME

We are home from the holiday in Feurteventura and whilst it was nice to be somewhere warm it is so nice to be home.
And it is wonderful to have Beauty back at school and she loves it too.
But not as much as Mama loves it!
Beauty's face is healling well from her cat fight in school.....well more like attack than fight as she didn't fight back.SnoWhite wants to go to school with her and be her bodyguard,save us!
Baby News
Fiona's friend from church has had her baby and she is calling him Harry but she isn't sure yet how she will spell it.He is a little beauty,we went over there on Tuesday to take a present.
