“I’m star of the week and I’ve got Buster to bring home”- OH NO!!!

Picked up the 7 yr old from school on the Friday, and was greeted with the words- every parent dreads to hear, “I’m star of the week and I’ve got Buster to bring home”- OH NO!!! As my heart quickened and sweat broke out on my forehead, I reached for the 4 yr old standing next to me’s inhaler , didn’t need it but I thought it may help the sudden constriction in my chest. Buster the school stuffed dog is special, he’s awarded to the gifted ones, he comes with his ‘own apparel’ and he gives me the evil eye!!
So now we have the dog we have to entertain him all weekend and of course document his every move in ‘the diary!. “So let’s have look what Busters been up to with the other kids, shall we”, says the Old Man lightly.
‘Buster goes to the Star Wars premier,
Buster goes on the Eastenders set,
Buster goes to Tiffanys to choose Mummy’s birthday diamonds.’
I think the Old Man got to page 6 before he went for a lie down. As you have probably gathered by now the 7yr old’s school is filled with ‘showbiz luvvies’. No point trying to compete- so we did our thing. It was football tournament weekend, so Buster got to ride in the dilapidated mini-bus with a whole crew of 10 and 11 yr olds. Got to sit in the kit bag, under the gazebo amongst 45 people hiding from the torrential downpour. Felt the force of the strikers boots as he shot him into the goal (we opted to leave that out of the photo gallery!!) and to top off Busters weekend with ‘the normals’, Buster with his Mcd’s Happy meal.
As we took Buster back on Monday morning, we were confident in the knowledge that if buster could talk we know where he would rather spend his weekends- well until the next time when he was flown on the private plane to Monte Carlo to whizz round on a jet ski!!

Go From Being Irritated to Smiling

Everyday we have things that happen that we get irritated by ….rarely do we stop and find some happiness or joy from the irritation and put a bigger grin on our face and give thanks for the irritation that has now become a joy…Just recently my little girl took her diaper off and played in her poo…..I laughed…yes, it was a BIG mess to clean and I could of easily gotten upset but life is too short and the look on her face…to me it was her way of putting a bigger grin on my face for the rest of my life because I get to have the sweet pleasure of telling the story forever…which will add smiles and laughs for a lifetime…….

Find happiness and joy in the things that usually make you upset or irritated…this is a hard lesson to learn but once you have learned how to look at little irritating things differently your life will begin to change…. life will be a whole lot happier and take you one step closer to being deliriously happy……

As Adults we forget to have fun like a six year old

A friend stated to me earlier today ……wouldn’t it be fun to have “fun time” everyday…I was taken back by this…and replied, I have a “fun time” everyday…there is not a day that goes by that I don’t have fun. When did adults stop thinking about having fun…Six year old laugh the most with 300 + laughs a day and adults are lucky to laugh 10-12 times a day…. I told her and other friends to create day of fun…that’s what I believe…when you start finding the little happy joys in life that make you laugh or smile…great things happen…….Have a ridiculously fun day…which will lead to a deliriously happy day….and you will want to burst…and great things will happen…….To me these are not just words they are the truth..
