AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thank you. She's going for a sleepover in her new bedroom during half term and then starting school there on the following Monday. Having had her at home with me since June 2015 when we started this battle, it will feel very strange and quiet around here for a while. Aww - it will Upsy - but well done you and your daughter - hope that all of her dreams come true...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So a new weekend and I have already smiled (and not just because it's half-term!). I tend to have a weekend breakfast of boiled egg and a bagel. This morning when I took the top off the egg it was completely perfect and that so rarely happens! Plus as it's half-term I treated myself to a cinnamon and raisin bagel as well as the plain one I usually have - the smell of warm cinnamon alone makes me smile! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put cinnamon in an apple crumble the other day and my daughter said "Mmmm. It smells like Christmas." :1b 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I've smiled a lot today too - about nothing more than the absolute 'beautifulness' of the weather - good word 'beautifulness' think I must use it more ::1a 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hasn't been beautiful down here, we have 'black east wind' and is quite unpleasant. I really want to put my PJs on and snuggle up and watch strictly, but have to go out for a meal to a busy, noisy pub! Oh well at least someone else is doing the cooking and washing up!

AnonyMouse_14268 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 The sun being out this morning after torrential rain yesterday. My stupid dog, pulling on a stick that was actually a vine about 30 foot high and soaking me in rain drops when he pulled it! The fact that I have ready lasagna, sage and onion bread and crumble all done for tonight's tea. Just off for a haircut and hope I am still smiling when I get back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Weather is absolutely gorgeous today and I have been in the garden cutting back overgrown shrubs. I heard a 'mewing' noise and looked up into the sky to see a Buzzard soaring effortlessly against the bright blue sky. I stood watching and realised there were about seven of them. Beautiful sight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_14268 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just had one of those moments last night when we were all together as a family having a bit of a giggle, and I thought I want to freeze this moment and hang onto it. As my boys are growing away (17 and15) these times when we are all together are increasingly getting less and less and on some occasions one of them will be being a truculent teenager! Also smiled today when my sons rugby team absolutely smashed their game and he remained injury free! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm sure we can all relate to that as our children grow older.. Even now, mine are 32,29 and 24 and when "we" as the family are all together it's magic - just different somehow. I love the way they interact with each other as families so often do. Always brings a huge smile to my face. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always brings a huge smile to my face. Your post reminds me of my 'Always Smile' Last year, at my youngest sons graduation I watched he and his older brother play pool with hubby. I decided then that I like these two young men apart from the love you naturally have as mom. They whispered together about strategy against their dad, they played him up, they laughed at him and ganged up in a way only brothers can I expect. I saw them as young men, adults, people not just as my children, my little boys. The photo I took of their shared whispering is a joy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
