Went to a lovely wedding this weekend. It was lovely in itself, in terms of the way the day was organised, the venue, the food, etc but the nicest thing was that our friends are ridiculously in love and feel truly blessed to have each other.
The little ones scrubbed up well and remained clean for around half an hour, the jr started looking for worms to eat and sr went slime fishing with his new wedding friend. His new wedding friend was a very pretty little girl who at the age of five had already developed some pretty impressive womanly wiles and managed to convince sr to spend his pocket money on a chocolate lolly for her!
Am poorly today so little one jr is at childminders and I am at home. Been t'internetting and found this freaky gem. I guess this guy should be politely referred to as eccentric, it is funny but the last few seconds have an almost unbearable pathos.

Been a while
But I have been very busy...
Been OK though, not entirely sure what I have been up to but one of the best things has been that the chickens have moved next door, they now have their own little patch of rough woodland to scratch about in and look much happier - well they actually look the same, I am just assuming they are happy because I would be if I were them.
Little ones Sr and Jr. are fine and dandy. Sr has spent the entire weekend in fancy dress so he is very dandy and Jr has had a lot of fuss so he is very fine.
Spent Friday night getting hammered and chatting up the Husband, he came home with me so I have definitely still got it.
Of course Saturday bought a childrens party which is a world of pain with a hangover. Sr did me proud in that he actually detatched himself from my leg and joined in. Jr just crawled around picking up stuff from the floor rather like a slightly less bidable Roomba.
I do think he is probably less trouble than a Roomba, he is so bloody quiet and undemanding I keep forgetting I have him. Don't think he would make a good cat ride though.

OK Magazine and Cream Cakes
Rainy today, not neccesarily a bad thing as I was planning to do some outside exercise today and I can use it as an excuse if I don't want to go.
Today I have no children, I have just done a bumper shop at Tesco and managed to put three paperbacks, two body moisturisers, one face moisturiser, OK Magazine, two cream apple turnovers and some perfume in the trolley. Actually feeling a bit bad about that now as am meant to be reining in the spending.
Got home to find a big dog poo right outside my front gate, maybe someone does not like me and trained their dog to do that or maybe somebody actually just let their dog do that and thought "ah, well" and just carried on up the road. Not sure which is worse.
So, next thing to do is the cleaning of the house and after that is the exercise and then is the cleaning, exfoliating, depilation and moisturing of the self. I am modelling for a life class tonight and it is the first time I have done it when I am not pregnant. Suprising how much my body has changed over the last five years, After my first pregnancy I was just a bit bigger and carried more weight in the area between my hips and waist. After this pregnancy my tummy is slack and round and my breasts are lower. Maybe cream cakes are not the answer.
Exercise I think - rain or no rain!

back to all that
I am now returned from my short break, we did sleeping in, staying up late and windsurfing, t'was good. Missed the kids though, honest! I would write more about where we have been but I am scared that if everyone found out about it then they would all go and we wouldn't be able to go anymore. It is the sort of place where you can cook on a fire, sing at the top of your voice and go skinny dipping (I didn't - it is April) and nobody would know because you cannot see another living soul!
Lovely to see the boys on our return, little one sr. was bound to be enthusiastic (he knows we bring gifts when we go away!) but little one jr. was just lovely - reaching out his pudgy arms and rocking back and forth then nuzzling in like a little lamb.
Now we are back I am trying to get the garden sorted - this actually involves hacking down lots of stuff from my neighbours garden as it has gone a bit mad and she is not well enough to do it. It also involved buying new plants from B&Q - little one sr. amused the shop by saying "are you going to kill it mummy" everytime I picked up a plant.
Anyway, feeling a lot better "in myself" as they say. I think the windsurfing helped - something about doing something new and making yourself tackle it and master it (to a very amateur extent) - it is a good process. Oh, and the sleep helped too.
Haven't had much time to mess about on the internet but I did read this on the lovely Dr Crippens blog

The best medicine
Feeling a bit better today, thank fuck.
Went to work which was OK - well, apart from the fucktard system of trying to get people admitted.
I was told that a patient waiting on a medical ward had a bed and could I organise the transfer...yup, no problem, that is simple isn't it?
I can't even be arsed to document the process, the phone calls, the stupid questions, the person who works for the same organisation as me saying "I don't know what you expect to do for this patient" - I expect you to admit him because he is on a section 2! Blimey.
All this working for mental health services really puts you off being mentally ill!

Gah!
Today is a bit of a bad day...well, a lot of a bad day. I had been on a good run recently and stupidly didn't renew my antidepressants prescription. Four days off and I am a mess.
Feeling anxious, thoughts of self harm just popping up, guilt, feel ugly...rubbish.

I'll put you on ebay...
Ha become the new refrain in this house, little one sr. is using it as the ultimate threat to his toys and his little brother. I'll put him on ebay if he is not careful. He has been rather good though considering the amount of chocolate he has had this easter, he is currently curled up sleeping like a cat.
Little one jr. is his usual smiling self and continues to grunt like a little pig while he sleeps, if I had known how loud he would be then I never would have bothered with a baby monitor, certainly not a digital, crystal clear, cost more than you want it to one....still at least I can put that on ebay.
Been a bit "wobbly" the last few days, "wobbly" is my euphamism for feeling anxious, on edge and worthless, if you call is feeling "wobbly" then it sounds a bit fluffier, easier to talk about. It doesn't feel fluffy, it feels shit. Being out in the garden helps though. I was sat there last night frog watching, saw two medium sized pale green variegated ones. The frog spawn is breaking down and the tadpoles are getting tails.
I have also enjoyed checking out one the link to photoshop disasters... this is my favourite so far, giggle.
