The kids went back to school today YEHAA!!! lol. It was much needed relief for us all i think. Robbie also went back to college today and is back to his part-time job on thurs. So its all normal again. I'm actually finding it amazing how much i like my routine now??!! I love the time i get to spend with Nathan alone and also the things i do with the kids, even just taking them to their swimming lessons. Its so nice to know when things are happening and for how long. I was watching Supernanny the other night and she was saying about how important having routines are and i totally agree although i haven't always thought this. Maybe its an age thing?? I've had a good day today, after the kids went to school Nathan was still asleep so i went back to bed to read for a while with a cuppa and then took him in beside me for a cuddle when he woke which was lovely, i feel like i haven't had him to myself for ages. I've finally managed to give the house a good clean (1st time in nearly 3 weeks) and i feel refreshed. I have just been watching the Paul Mckenna weight loss thing on Sky One and its pretty good, don't know if anyone else saw it? I'm going to use his advice and see how i get on as at the moment because i'm trying to eat healthy and get more excercise all i can think about is food!!! lol. Will update on that soon....... Hope everyone is feeling good/well.

Hi All,
I've not been on for what seems like ages but its because my computer is away getting fixed (dodgy disc-drive!) so am having to make do with popping into my mums every few days to check on things!! its very annoying. Anyway, me and the family are going great, things still on the up. Me and Rob are getting on fine, he's going to see a counsellor tomorrow about his 'issues' so hopefully things will eventually work out for the best for us?! Am slightly worried about it as i keep thinking what if he realises that its not us that he wants? what if i'm not making him truly happy? What if's can be a terrible thing can't they?
Anyway this is just a short update, hope you are all keeping well.
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hi Everyone,
Sorry i've not been around for a while, had so much happening. Nathan has been ill and has been in hospital for the last two days, he has Bronciolitis. He had a chest infection at xmas and it cleared up only for it to come back as this, he went in on thursday and got out today. He's ok but has to have another inhaler with a strongeer drug in it which he hates having. Me and Rob are both knackered, robbie stayed with him the first night and i went in yesterday at 9.15am as soon as the other 2 kids went to school and i was there until he came home today. Didn't get much sleep last night. I've not been feeling too good these past few days, don't know if its cos nathans been ill or something else. When i was in hospital last night i started having 'thoughts' again, something i've not had for a good while now and this has worried me a bit incase it becomes a regular thing again or if its just because of the stress??? anyone had the same experiences? I've also been having palpitations again but i think this is the caffeine and adrenalin that i've been running on. Hopefully it'll all settle down soon. Robbie got on ok at the councellor, she told he doesn't really need councelling, more anger management as he knows what his problems are just not how to deal with them, he also said that she loved me??? because i'm so supportive of him and because of all the help i've been giving him, like getting him books out of the library and things like that. I told my mum this and she thinks i should go into counselling as i have that type of personality. I'm seriously thinking about it because i've always been interested in a career in 'helping people' but have always just thought about nursing or health care. I've been reading susannes diary and think i might get advice from her about her course although our local college does a one day a week foundation course that rob's mum did last year and is really in depth and very good. I'll give myself abit of time to recover from nathans illness first though, i don't want to overload myself.
Anyway feel like i'm rambling now, its a while since i've done that!! Once i start i don't seem to stop at the moment!!!
Loadsa love to you all, hope your all well?
Sarah.xxx

Hiya Sarah
You have had alot going on , hunny. And yes, as ever, we are living parallel lives. Well, I was so poorly with a virus over xmas and new year and now my son has been bad (let me check with hubby - oh god yes ) for 2 weeks with teething. This is no normal teething, lol, this is 3 stone (built like a you know what) tantrum, molarl, do we need a paramedic as you throw yourself against the wall kind of teething. I would not be without Nurofen at the mo'
Anyway, little uns being ill is so much worse than anything else life throws at us - ?
Hope you're ok. It is lovely to hear from you Hxx

Hey Sarah! How are you sweetie! Thats a great idea about becoming a councellor...what sort of area would you want to do...councelling for children, adults?? etc That'd be so great for you! It's good that robbie is getting help and realises he needs it! You must be a lot more happy because h e's willing to get help! Poor lil Nathan....hope he gets better soon!!! I hate it when they're sick! Peter, brett and myself have been sick too not a great combo having us all down with the flu!!! Well take care and hope Nathan gets better quickly! Love ya Nat xxx

Hi everyone,
Nat i am happy at the moment, things between me and rob are going great, since we got home with Nathan on sat afternoon we have been laughing and playing about (you know, play fighting, tickling, that sort of thing) and we've had 2 nights of great sex, and we've both really wanted it even though we've been knackered with Nathan being ill. Its great and i feel like we're finally getting closer again just like we used to be and even he said last night that he loves that feeling and can't believe he put it all at risk by being selfish and stupid!!! I am soooooo lucky aren't i?? lol Nathan is alot better now, still very wheezy and coughing alot but not half as bad as he was, i can see a big improvment in him. He's such a happy, smily baby too. All in all things are looking up for us again. Yay!! I feel much more content today.
As for the counselling, i'm not sure about any of it yet, its just an idea that i'm thinking about (seriously though). I know Rob's mum did it last year and she said its very hard going in the fact that you have to look in depth at your own life/feelings/situations etc and that worries me a bit although my mum thinks it would be good for me. I'm going to get the college prospectus and have a good read of what the course will entail and then make a decision. I don't want to go into it and then find i can;t cope and drop out, i did that with the nursing course and i still feel that i've somehow failed and let myself down. I feel alot that i never stick anything out, if i get bored or am finding it hard then i just seem to shove it to one side and forget about it. I've always been like that and it really does make me feel a failure in the part of my life thats just about me, does anyone know what i mean? Its like i know i'm a great mum, partner, sister, daughter etc but in 'my' life i'm a failure, i haven't achieved many of the things i've always thought i'd do. Anyway thats why i'm going to consider this really carefully. Will let you know when i've made a decision.
Well i hope everyone else is having a great day, and to those of you who aren't, i'm sending a big hug {{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hi Everyone, Not been on for a few days, been quite busy with one thing or another. Anyway been feeling pretty good still (yay) ;D Me and Rob are still getting along fine. Its quite funny but a comment that susanne made when we were having a chat has made me think!! We were talking about happiness lasting! and we both said we have a tendancy to look for things going wrong whenever we are experiencing happiness, i'm sure many people do this but i have decided to try and make a conscious effort to actually enjoy being happy I'm sure this will be quite a hard habit to break but i'm determined to change my 'thinking pattern' about this. Do you think it's possible? Anyway its my nieces birthday next thursday, she will be 3 (gosh it flies by soooo quick) so tomorrow (sat) we are all going to a adventure play centre (probably similar to the wacky warehouse that suzanne mentions) so that should be fun, i haven't told my kids yet as i don't want them hyped up!! ;D I have bought her a barbie school bag as she starts playgroup in April. Its also my kirstys birthday on the 8th feb, she's going to be 7 Where do the time go? lol. We have bought her a 'Bratz Rock Angel bike' which she'll love, and it was reduced from 89.99 to 49.99 !!! (just what you need after christmas eh!) She is having a disco (i'm doing it at home!) for 25 of her friends.................. what am i thinking? I'm sure it'll be fun! hahaha.... Anyway i suppose i should go and get dressed now as my mum is coming for lunch today and i have some housework to do before she comes Hope everyone is feeling good/well today? Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hi H and everyone,
We have not long come back from 'Planetkidz' and it was fantastic. The kids absolutely loved it and we got to sit and eat in 'peace' hahaha, bear in mind there were about 100 other kids running wild!!! but it was great and now we are all knackered. My niece got her bike today as her dad will be away on her birthday so they brought it forward so he could enjoy her birthday aswell and its all she could talk about 'auntie sarah, i got new bike' 'auntie sarah, chloes bike's cool' shes so amusing.
Anyway as for our disco/party, i've had parties in my house before, never for 25 kids though, i think the most has been 12. Although a couple of years ago i had a disco for kirsty in a hired hall for about 20 (i think) and basically, i just put all the food on the table and put the music up loud and leave them to it, then i get my mum (who can shout alot louder than me) to gather them up for a game of pass the parcel or something like that and then let them get on with it again until its time to go home. Its the one day i really don't care about my house getting trashed as the kids are having fun and i know i have my mum, robbie and usually my sister to help tidy up. One thing i do though is make sure any breakables are moved upstairs long before the party starts as its one less thing to worry about. Apart from that HAVE FUN, and enjoy seeing your child in their element.
Anyway the kids are moaning for their tea!!!
Hope everyones ok today.
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx
