Fancy That

The theme for the house warming party was school disco. I went to look for an outfit and realised that school girl is actually code for slut in the fancy dress world.

I get a little bit grumpy about fancy dress "I'm 31, not 5, why can't I go as myself?", but once I start getting the outfit together I get into the swing of it.

Well I looked like a slut and not at all like I did at school, I donned a blonde wig too which I really liked.

Fancy dress is cool.

Being grumpy about it is not cool

Baby Blues

I am due to go back to work at the end of the month. I have so enjoyed my time with my lovely Daughter and am so pleased I took the whole year.

I have looked at five different nursery places and done two inductions at two different places and although I was resigned to the fact that my Daughter would be there for only one day a week I really did not feel great about it, what if she needs me? What if she doesn't get the cuddles that she needs?

In theory I like the idea of nursery, getting to interact with lots of new people and Babies, social skills, structured play and different/messier play than we may do at home.

I had a knot in my stomach at the thought of leaving her and at the final hour my Mother in Law said she would have her. My Mother is having her the other day and a half.

Grandmothers and Mothers are cool.

Going back to work again may be cool.

Leaving my precious Baby with strangers who although doing a great job can't love my child like me is difficult and perhaps in time may be cool also!

I am so going to be one of those neurotic Mums, what do I mean I am going to be, I am!

Bad News

Whilst my Grandad was in the hospice my Grandma, his wife, became ill, it was almost like she had kept herself together to look after him at home and once she knew he was being looked after she allowed herself to fall apart a little.

After Grand passed away Grandma had her test results back and she was also diagnosed with Cancer.

It is so tragic for her, My Grandma and Grandad were married for 64 Years, can you imagine? She has lost him to Cancer and now has to face her own Cancer without him, it is hard to know what to say.

The Doctor seems hopeful and Grandma has a good family around her supporting her daily, mainly my lovely Mum and my Auntie.

Cancer is not cool.

Good Luck Grandma xxx

Blog It!

Well, well I havent been blogging for an entire month almost, don't know where the time has gone, really I don't.

A lot has happened and it hasnt been easy.

I lost my lovely Grandad or 'Grand' as he was known to me, my Brother and Cousins.

He was very ill with both Bowel and lung Cancer and spent the last few months of his life in an wonderful local Hospice. He was really quite happy there which we were all suprised at because he was very much a home body bless him. The staff were superb and he was made so comfortable.

Grandads are very cool, my Grandad was the coolest.

Rest in Peace Grand xxx
