April 1st, 2010Mums' GossipMy daughter has started a new school and is in yr 3 so when they said easter egg competition we dutifully allowed her to make her own easter egg farm all by herself( cough). Carrying the tissue wrapped rice cooker box proudly into school, making sure the chicks and half shelled eggs didn’t move we were flabbergasted by the entries- all manner of creations beheld our eyes. Not one of which had had an under 21yr olds fingers within 10 feet of it. There were Egg Factors, Jegwards, SpongeBobs, Hairdressers, the ski jump complete with skiers and my particular favourite the London Eye!! So now the old man wants to start next years around Christmas time and is already interviewing architects for the job as we speak- competitive- not us !!!

March 28th, 2010Happy ThoughtsAs I walked down the beach today with babies in tow, I was amazed as I always am at the ocean and the strong waves banging against the shore depositing gifts of shells, stones and junk on the shores.
The babies were excited to play chase with the waves, running and yelling as the waves came near them. It brings a smile to my face to think of the memories of them playing chase. The littlest one found a great way of tuning her art ability by drawing in the sand. She instantly became addicted to it and didn’t want to leave the beach and I was thankful she was not drawing on the walls again.
For a few minutes or two the baby had fun chasing the Seagulls. She ran as fast as her little legs could take her. Of course the Seagulls looked at her like you think your going to catch me sister. Please…. You can not catch me in your wildest dreams. I have wings. She soon gave up and looked at them like she was saying fine if you don’t want to play with me, I have sand that will let me play.
The other babies enjoyed the walk down the beach. Excited to find all the unique shells that were on the beach. Collecting all the ones that they found to be unique. Jem found on that she thought was in the shape of a chicken leg. I think she was hungry. LOL Though she was right it could have been a chicken leg. Props to her and her imagination.
It was nice to see people (who were not being paid) walking down the beach picking up the trash and putting it in the trash reciprocals. People were walking there dogs, running, collecting shells, playing catch and having family time. The beach brings enjoyment to so many people. As a society we need to be conscious of waste and recycling so we can continue to have the enjoyment of beach and other wonderful simple pleasures that the great Earth has given us.

March 13th, 2010Happy ThoughtsOne of our favorite days at our house is family movie night, which is usually on Wednesday night. We do movie themes and make food to go along with the themes. We pick out our flicks from the vast assortment of movies that Netflix
has to offer.
Though, I must say my choices are NOT the ones usually picked to watch since I love guns, bullets and blood. Yes, the movies that make me happy and nobody else likes. Everyone else prefers the mooshie…lovey…chick flick movies ( Holding back the chunks now….Ok, I’m better.) and the kid type movies from Disney etc. We also love to watch “old” movies and TV shows such as MacGyver or Swiss Family Robinson when that was on TV….not the movie…
We all grab our pillows and blankets and a cozy spot to watch TV…It is amazing to see and hear their reactions to some of the “older” movies…I must say they have loved them. I’m happy that we have had the chance to expose them to show and things of the past…One of the best times is when we all discuss the movies. The kids always have input or really get into the characters and start talking about what they think the characters are going to do next.
We get excited when the Netflix
comes in the mail. The kids carefully rip open the DVDs to see what is inside. After family movie night they put the Netflix
in the mail and patiently wait for the next movies to come…It has been a great family experience to pick out movies and TV series from the past…Great memories…I must say even the big kids who no longer live here get into our family movie nights when they can…
One step closer to being a deliriously happy as a family….creating family memories and traditions to pass on…

March 13th, 2010Mums' GossipHaving finally decided to take the leap and move out of London we scoured the Right Move website until we found the perfect little terraced cottage a bus ride away from the 12yr olds school. No more getting up in those wee hours and driving him to the lonely bus stop where he would run the gauntlet of fear each morning wondering whether or not the bus would arrive to take him to school. No more taking over an hour to drive back on the polluted , packed A40 arguing with lorries and mascara wielding women desperate to get 2 cars in front on their ever so depressing morning journey. No more screaming at the 7 yr old to hurry up and eat those mega crunchers or we’ll be late for school- again!!
Our new idyllic country cottage although in rural South Bucks does happen to be situated next door but one from McDonalds. Now this may sound awful, but it does have it’s advantages ( and I’m not talking burgers here). The 12 yr old now leaps out of bed like a greyhound chasing the hare round the last bend. “Mine’s a bacon roll and easy on the ketchup”, I hear him shouting as he runs en route for the school bus. As he goes off to school and I take my leisurely walk around the garden gazing at the horses peacefully grazing in the field below. I am acutely aware of the lack of police sirens, gangs of youths bellowing in drunken voices and the loudness of local madeye mcjack arguing with himself- until that is I hear the distinctive sounds of “Can I take your order Please”, and my eyes are forced to look over to the left where the Mc D’s drive through breaks up the serenity of my country cottage setting. Ever get the feeling you can never quite get it right!!

No TV
0
February 9th, 2010Mums' GossipOur new family adventure…no TV days. Yes, I call it an adventure and the kids would call it pure torture, cruel and unusual punishment, my mom/sister is being mean. You know the drill when you impose rules on the babies that they are not in favor of.
The babies want to know how we could be so mean as to take away the TV. We did this because the kids were not playing games, reading books, playing outside or using their imagination as much as we wanted them to so we took away the one thing that occupied a major part of their day the TV.
It has been nice to see them dust off the big dust bunnies and knock down cobwebs to find the games, toys, books etc. that in some cases have never even opened up and finding new adventures that they didn’t even know existed. Now they haven’t been thrilled about it just yet… No jumping for joy or cheers for no TV day, they are still too upset about losing a day of TV which they do get back at 7pm. Right now they spend the day counting down the hours until seven. Yes, with each hour that passes I hear 6, 5, 4, 3 etc. hours left until I can watch TV…silly babies have not given any thought that I could and will add another day or two to the no TV days…nice to know I have the ability to enrich and disrupt their little lives with just two little words…4 letters and a space….No TV….the power of mom…oops! Sorry about the power trip I’m going on…
I’m now creating little musicians, whiz kids, writers, readers, make-up artists….Oh the possibilities with having them have no TV time is working out great. They are learning to do things outside their normal routine. The one little tiny itty-bitty problem is that they FIGHT more or should I say they bug each other more.
For a final note…. I have not saved any money on my electric bill which I thought was going to be a bonus…joke was on me.

Time…

January 22nd, 2010Happy ThoughtsWow! Hard to believe it is 2010 already…where has time gone is always the question?????
Time waits for no one…time does not wait for you to reach your goals and then proceed.
Though it would be so nice if we could say, “Time stand still a minute or two while I to get this done.” I would be saying that all day long. Time stop! Time go! Time stop! Time go!
Yep, I could become addicted to those words so would everyone else. The utter chaos it would cause..I have had a couple of people tell me this year ‘What have you lost but time..not a big thing.’ I’m looking at them thinking ‘amazing, time is not a big thing.’ Time is a major component of your day, success, life and it’s not important? What planet are you from?? A second lost is a second you will not get back. We definitely had different view points on time. Not to say I haven’t wasted time, but time has become a “precious commodity” that I’m becoming more respectful of and enjoying more of.
Time is always in perpetual movement. Make this the year that you organize your schedule/time so you get the most out of your day to accomplish your work and personal goals.
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. ~Horace Mann

January 7th, 2010Mums' GossipSo once again the kids are home and we’re snowed in!! I just don’t get it- we’re in the worse stages of global warming since the invention of the wheel and yet here we are digging our way through UK Snow!!
I didn’t mind it so much before Christmas as it kind of ‘got us in the mood’, even when I skidded the car into a metal fence and needed the assistance of 4 burly builders to save me ( Maid Marion eat your heart out). But AGAIN ????
The 12 yr old is of course in 7th heaven as he just can’t get to school- and if he could get there he wouldn’t be able to get home. The 7 yr old though has school. Tried driving yesterday and can’t say I enjoyed the experience so we decided to walk through snowy London this morning. Well we didn’t so much walk, as hobble to school. I give walking with caution a whole new meaning . At one point I was overtaken by a 75 yr old man with a walking stick who floated down the street, whistling- I mean how relaxed was he?? It all came to ahead when I hit a bad patch. The 7 yr old described it as ‘spectacular’. I describe it as painful. I can only say I think I may have performed the first triple axle on concrete. Hey maybe the producers of Dancing on Ice should give me a call- or not!!
P.S- the next person who throws a snowball at me and laughs will face my wrath- Bah Humbug.
