It wasn't smooth sailing, my childhood, & it broke my heart to hear her silently sob as we drove home, listening to her guilt, questioning herself, & me...I guess we never stop feeling mummy guilt, or questioning how we're bringing up our children, we just do the best we can with the limited resources we have?</div><div><br></div><div>I want my mum to know, if she reads this, that I love her unconditionally, like I love my children, and my husband, and my brother & father. </div><div>Nothing, no experience past or present, will ever change that. </div><div>I hope my childhood has made me a stronger person, a better, kinder human. </div><div>And I wish my own children are as lucky as I was to have a beautiful loving mother, as I did, for as long as God intends.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnCWClTR3HwXuarx3LN48Zn5ln3uc2vauWQBVnawaRbKRDQslqfX-2d98l3r0qFOk2cgHtgG_QhV4Pc1gT_7WqNQCzu5u0VMfoVGulOhv2Qx2rr-39r58ch3mPg0j2aXWRa3iwwWdt0eX/s640/blogger-image-37578296.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnCWClTR3HwXuarx3LN48Zn5ln3uc2vauWQBVnawaRbKRDQslqfX-2d98l3r0qFOk2cgHtgG_QhV4Pc1gT_7WqNQCzu5u0VMfoVGulOhv2Qx2rr-39r58ch3mPg0j2aXWRa3iwwWdt0eX/s640/blogger-image-37578296.jpg"></a></div></div><div>I<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> love you Mum, and I can't wait to share Baby girl with you...</span></div><div>Xxx</div><div><br></div>A Farmers Wifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07415633156453008068noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543188109542987739.post-46784110363688369712015-10-19T20:13:00.001-07:002015-10-20T12:37:09.914-07:00#realityhits<div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmKWcPgVVLuHTi_twoQ6_6PCxYjd_9mWxuCA4_GzdpFC8Gnwk-anmSBMAQ0xYMnroFs6WAkS1UFG79VZtbRCF_Hkykw2WyqNZcUXfE4CWjiTvWAeCf4eL4cA00eDU87OuASE7354uT8HQ/s640/blogger-image-1121770737.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmKWcPgVVLuHTi_twoQ6_6PCxYjd_9mWxuCA4_GzdpFC8Gnwk-anmSBMAQ0xYMnroFs6WAkS1UFG79VZtbRCF_Hkykw2WyqNZcUXfE4CWjiTvWAeCf4eL4cA00eDU87OuASE7354uT8HQ/s640/blogger-image-1121770737.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here they are! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My beautiful family..well, minus one small ferral boy who couldn't be caught from the bouncy castle to 'pose' with us. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But that's life isn't it?

So it's a huge task to keep on top of, & one that scares me quite a lot actually.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't think the fact that sodding Christmas is round the corner is helping either. I'd love to make it special for my children, & by special I mean actually wrap their presents?! Like, how the hell am I physically going to find the time to do that? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm fairly sure this is where my army of reliable friends & family step in.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm very lucky, I know that, to have a handful of 'A-Team' people, who, no matter what, are there for me. Whether it's to walk dogs, or pick up pile cream, they've got my back(or my arse).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Maybe if I wasn't a huge control freak none of this would all seem so bad. But I can't change who I am, can i?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mummy guilt is a terrible thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">How dare I have these thoughts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">How dare I wish I wasn't pregnant, for even a moment. How dare I moan when I be got entirely myself to blame for this situation? How dare I take for granted the fact I even have a husband to share my fears with...? I'm angry, & sad at myself for even having these feelings. Cue more sobs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My lovely husband did his best to talk me through the whole situation. To tenderly show me the full nut-job scale of my irrational ramblings...To reassure me that they're all so excited to have this new baby in their lives, they they don't share these 'new mum' fears that I have(that was a revelation I can tell you, I honestly thought they were dreading sharing 'mummy')</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He told me of how, in the church on Sunday, one family member took him aside and asked 'how do you do that?' how do you have such perfectly behaved kids? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Kids who were silent throughout the service when they were meant to be. Kids who were all immaculately turned out, & not one moaned or looked miserable(Poppy dodged shaking the 'weird' vicar's hand but honestly, I'd have done the same if I could've!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He tried to take the credit but said person knows us well & pointed out it was likely to be more down to me than him that we'd once again managed to at least look like we had our shit together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was the right moment for him to relay this little story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Some days we won't be that family, I won't be that mum. When I have Breastmilk stains on my top & our bed hasn't been changed in two weeks. & the teacher calls me in for a 'quick word', I definitely won't be that mum.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But, I guess we're only human. We're all struggling towards the same goal...health, wealth(hmmm), happiness?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So I hope you know now that behind the smiles, the unironed dress, the uncomfortable tights, the £7 new look shoes Ive had for three years & wear to most occasions, & that big(beautiful) bump, things are not always as they seem?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If I've helped a single person to see that they're not the only one who has these thoughts & feelings then it'll have been worth it. If not, well, at least I can pinpoint the moment I actually lost my mind?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lots of love...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Kirsty xxx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>A Farmers Wifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07415633156453008068noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543188109542987739.post-1988460608049665942015-09-14T20:08:00.001-07:002015-09-14T20:08:54.959-07:00Im back!..Again!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I know I know, it happened again!..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I said I would keep up with my blog and look, another year has gone by already!..

It's been really hard work this past couple of weeks, just doing bedtime by yourself, & being the only person who ever tidies up the house, walking the dogs, food shopping, general day-to-day chores and every day life in general-sitting down at the end of the day & having no one to 'share' with has been tough! This Sunday he spent the entire day mowing beautiful stripes in the lawn, and tidying all of Williams hideous garden toys away! So although he wasn't 'in' the house, it was still lovely to have him around!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm now 32 weeks pregnant, and it's going by so quickly!...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">With this post I thought I would just update you on our lives in general, bring you up to speed on what's been going on around here lately?<br><br>So it was Wills first full day at school yesterday, I'm a bit sad for him as he's not the most confident of children and he hasn't bound in with endless energy. Maybe the fact that he didn't go to preschool with his classmates has set him off on the wrong foot?.. I'm sure in a few weeks time he'll make some firm friends, for now, I'll be gentle with him & make sure he's well fed, & in bed on time every night, tired children do not make happy children in my experience!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaU8ZD6C0FDXhDrNcwGUGQGtGUmJDyuQphAFKOsriCwypWBfLgxuWFiHhujaupp1z5qRsR9JhlwybtMcNojR3Pe1YBWjUtTE-QHg1IwdGT9kAPDnR36E2yL5MzoA_kld7ihpWqNdLWIudh/s640/blogger-image--531826360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaU8ZD6C0FDXhDrNcwGUGQGtGUmJDyuQphAFKOsriCwypWBfLgxuWFiHhujaupp1z5qRsR9JhlwybtMcNojR3Pe1YBWjUtTE-QHg1IwdGT9kAPDnR36E2yL5MzoA_kld7ihpWqNdLWIudh/s640/blogger-image--531826360.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Poppy started senior school too, and whilst she doesn't love the idea of school (neither did ,I I can't exactly blame her!) she's settling in really well, is being very organised about her homework & is up on time for her mini bus every morning! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyXrD1Y5EC53WMVmMWS0kH-xWjR3zkEYO_E15Bj7hIOPG993gDU3u_OYg5HvAmGtLFB_AjwWus7ObfDQaBeBUP4aY3FaDvdXCQUXM66LzRTejoEKZGh2Xl5pGBjkNcoWHiY5fwMZJ7reLm/s640/blogger-image--342652594.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyXrD1Y5EC53WMVmMWS0kH-xWjR3zkEYO_E15Bj7hIOPG993gDU3u_OYg5HvAmGtLFB_AjwWus7ObfDQaBeBUP4aY3FaDvdXCQUXM66LzRTejoEKZGh2Xl5pGBjkNcoWHiY5fwMZJ7reLm/s640/blogger-image--342652594.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div>Ruby has been her usual self, very helpful, talks endlessly about the baby, & is pretty much always in a good mood!

(Its really not..but when you spend all day surrounded by muck(& not a lotta brass) & knee deep in bleach you have to feel pampered once in a while!<br />
<div>

<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">It's a balmy twenty degrees and the sun is shining! </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I've decided to restart writing my blog..sometimes life gets in the way of the things we want to do but I'm going to try harder!!..Firstly I thought I'd start with the 'Now' & yesterday I had a little beauty treat..!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't have a 'beauty regime' as such. I wash & blow dry my hair everyday, & put make up on(which I remove with baby wipes)everyday. I have my hair cut & coloured once a year, & I have Gelish on my nails almost all the time, but only because that's my business! In fact, if I didn't have Gel polish on my nails, they'd be non existent. </div>
<div>
I wash my hands around 20 times a day, they become engrained with grass stains, mud & worse, dry from cleaning products & short because they're too brittle to grow! Here's my current favourite colour 'plum & done'! (These are a clients hands!)<img src="webkit-fake-url://1C607C41-25EF-4A81-90B7-DF2A900938D9/imagejpeg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;" /><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
If you'd like to know more about 'Gelish' you can look on my Facebook page, just search for 'The Nail Barn'! & pop by & say 'hi'!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, back to yesterday's treat! </div>
<div>
My favourite part of my makeup routine is mascara. All you albino-esque blondes will sympathise when I say I cannot leave the house without it! </div>
<div>
But since my wedding I've gone one better & tried beautiful, individual eyelashes. </div>
<div>
Some of you might immediately think 'man in drag' when you hear the words 'false lashes' but I can assure you these are the most delicate, intricately placed lashes & can't help but flatter the tiniest of eyes! I'm in LOVE with them, they're an occasional treat but increase my confidence by about, Oooh 100%! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This time I went one better & also had my eyebrows threaded, trimmed, waxed, tinted AND had false individual ones applied to fill the many gaps created by my 14 year old tweezer-happy self! (Child of the 90's!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My daughters' step-mummy is a brow & lash professional & I trust her 100% to give me the natural look I love..if you're in the Fareham/Hampshire area pop over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carlas-Beauty-Box/660105867352897" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carlas-Beauty-Box/660105867352897</a> & book an appointment!</div>

As i was saying, (about) the lovely weather giving people a boost, ive noticed 100% of customers are in a better mood while the sun is shining, normally when i say(a very cheery) 'hello'! as they walk in i get half a raised eyebrow and a look as if to say 'um why are you talking to me'...but when its bright and warm, well HELLO ROMSEY! Some even pass the time of day(shock horror), and ask me how i am(which is so nice)<br />
<br />
i can understand why people like to live in LA and the south of france, being warm(and tanned ?) makes you feel sooo gooooood!!!!<br />

My garden is slowly creeping into life, i feel like every pot and border should have a Geranium or Begonia but its a llleeeeeeettle too early for that just now. My hens are laying like CRAZY!

Hey you guys, how the devil are you, good?..I hope so! I know you're all probably wondering where ive been? Well, life just gets in the way-AS USUAL! Life here is lived at 100mph most of the time, and when its not, the last thing i want to do is sit with my laptop open and write a post, i'm more likely to be found with a tractor book open, sat on the sofa with my son, snuggled with a crochet blanket. That's not to say i don't miss you though!<br />

Im totally out of touch with blogland, i don't know who's hip n' happenin' anymore and who has dropped off the radar, so maybe you can guide me? Looks like a few changes have been made to blogger too, i always have my iPhone with me so maybe i cold use blogger via that? Forgive me if the layout of this post is crap and things are in the wrong places....!<br />

I probably dont have much of interest to tell you at the moment, the kids are growing like weeds and the house is groaning under the strain of all the 'stuff'' three kids own! We have tonnes TONNES of tractors, in every corner of every room, my son is obsessed-naturally.<br />
<br />
Ive tried to seek out a few 'fashion' blogs lately, as one thing i strive for is to look 'together', even if my home and brain most certainly are not! So maybe if you'd like me to i cold share a few outfit snaps with you on a post in the future?<br />

On my, I'm not one for showing off...and normally I'd never be able to own something which cost as many pennies as these babies but they were a Christmas gift, and one I've had on my list for 3 years. Well, all I can say is COSY!!! They are so super snugly and warm I never want to take them off...people wonder if they're impractical as you can only wear them when it's dry but I've worn them lots of times since Xmas as we've had lots of cold dry days. And don't be thinking I'm a fashion victim, I'm normally a very practical kinda gal, wellies and a big coat are my bag usually, believe me, if you like to be warm these are a great investment!!!<br />

When i read back through posts from a few months or years ago, i can recall moments in my life with pure clarity, yet without actually <i>seeing </i>the pictures and <i>reading</i> the words-its like my brain could never retrieve the memories i worked hard to create and document. So, i guess what im trying to say is,im glad im back blogging!</div>
<br />
I think im probably not the only one who questions the choices in live which ive made so far...reading back is very cathartic when im questioning the why's and wherefores of how we ended up on this ramshackle farm with three little piglets in tow...ive realised i wouldn't change a thing...not a thing.<br />
BUT i will be playing the lottery regularly from now on-just a few pennies would really help us out right now-again, im sure im not the only one!<br />

Just keeping on top of the mountain of washing and making sure all 9 mouths are fed is about as much as i can manage at the moment. Of course, i have help just to achieve that-my (fairy god)mother is here every week to help me out-i often get her to help me with those jobs you really need two people for, one to climb into the loft cupboard to grab bags full of clothes to sort, one to make tea and hold the baby-you get the idea.<br />

All of the children are a real pleasure at the moment. Of course we have the usual worries like every family, a poorly child now and again, school worries now and again. The girls are growing into, well, bigger girls, but ones with a bit of attitude, and i can hear myself in them, the things i used to say to my mother, the things she said to me, its history repeating. But then i sit back, and think, and i realise that my mother is my whole world, and we've been through a lot together, and that we did just that-we got through it...and now i savor every moment with her, i cherish the laughs, (an the tears) and i look forward to the challenge that raising my daughters will bring and i hope that our relationships will be half as good as mine and my mothers-and then some!<br />

We're into February tomorrow, i love February, in my mind the month is a pale turquoise colour, not like January, January is maroon, dull and dark, with a huge money hangover from xmas..those four weeks reeeallly drag for me. But February is a whole different picture! We're on our way into spring, longer days are just around the corner, just think, april last year was hot hot hot-we could in eight short weeks have our summer dresses out girls..oh dear..the diet starts next week then eh..?!<br />
<br />
Ive included a little photo update montage for those of you who like to see them. I know some of you see my daily ramblings on facebook so i apologise if they're old news to you guys xx<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">My son has already got the outdoor gene from his father, in fact there is no where he likes better.

I was devastated when i discovered them, as you can imagine, luckily my brother was here to kindly lay them to rest for me. I only had three chooks and the fox had killed them all but not taken any, god i hate foxes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Later that week a kind man who was delivering some rubble to the farm (for a new 'road' we're hopefully putting in), came over while i was stood in the garden and explained that he had 13 cocks/hens which needed a new home as he was emigrating, and would i like them??</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, i guess you could say fate was smiling down on us that day! I practically kissed this kind stranger and stumbled over my words but think i managed to say 'yes please' at some stage as this week he and his wife arrived with our new friends.</div><div><br /></div><div>I felt incredibly guilty, and still do, about how the last chooks met their fate, so its made me all the more determined to out fox the fox this time round, they've only been let out of the main pen once this week and were kept securely in the hen house for 2 whole days when they arrived so they knew where to roost at night!</div><div><br /></div><div>Poppy i completely in love with them and spent some time yesterday taking photos of them.

I cant believe how many lovely, sweet comments and emails ive received this week!</div><div>Im pleased to say i will continue with my ramblings, and if there is anything you would like to read more about, just let me know! I know we're all guilty of reading and running sometimes(me-alot of the time!) but its been really reassuring to know you're with me!</div><div><br /></div><div>So, firstly i have to show you what i got for mothers day! The girls and i were up at 6.30am as i needed to do another boot sale to rid the house of a bit more clutter, the girls and daddy firstly called me into the bedroom and presented me with a beautiful card....i then had to wait there while my gift was wheeled into the lounge and i was instructed to close my eyes until the TA DA! Moment!...Well, you can see what i received below!......</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVxh-c3Vu4X5or2Pvpx-Dlzq7wkn13qATsu55J32a9eSiRDcQ8fo0uQ0mnCfpX_kBkd4qgDVE6-ogfo6xCGghKcLcX_JR0NbOEKXk8IoFxLwmUVrtdMrddOhdqpr3PrGzWq7rGDxtqSD8/s1600/P4030005-1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVxh-c3Vu4X5or2Pvpx-Dlzq7wkn13qATsu55J32a9eSiRDcQ8fo0uQ0mnCfpX_kBkd4qgDVE6-ogfo6xCGghKcLcX_JR0NbOEKXk8IoFxLwmUVrtdMrddOhdqpr3PrGzWq7rGDxtqSD8/s400/P4030005-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592191405836693714" /></a>A new wheelbarrow! And not only that, a PINK wheelbarrow!<div>Now, you might scoff at the idea of a wheelbarrow as a mothers day gift, akin to receiving a washing up bowl for some women, but this was actually something i <i>needed.wanted! </i></div><div><br /></div><div>For the last three years ive been using a holey, rusty barrow with a flat tyre. </div><div>And when you consider how much use i get out of one-it takes my laundry from the utility to the line, my shopping bags from the car to the house, my logs from the pile in the field to the back door in winter, i couldnt live without one!</div><div><br /></div><div><i></i>A new barrow was even on my birthday list this year, but i didn't know you could get pink ones!</div><div>Mr P really pulled it out of the bag this year...thanks baby x</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday was a really special day. After the car boot(made another £45) my mum brought my brother over and i cooked a huge lasagne with salad coleslaw, garlic bread, salad etc for us all. Mums favourite! Mr P even came home from work at around 5pm to share the day with us. He then spent the rest of the evening mowing the lawn-the girls had THE best time left to learn how to ride the mower themselves, lots of videos were made to show them when they're older.(for the safety conscious among you the cutting blade was disabled when they dove it and it was kept in the lwest gear-slowest speed possible, and Mr P was in the garden the whole time!)</div><div><br /></div><div>After we'd eaten, something special happened, there was a light shower of rain, then bright skies....and right outside our lounge window, the most beautiful rainbow came out, ive never ever seen the start and end of a rainbow-both of which were in our field, it was truly a sight to behold...i guess growing up on a housing estate was why id never seen the start or end of one before? It must of always been hidden behind a house!(im not sure the photos show this but honestly, you could see the ends of it!)</div><div>Not only was there one stunning rainbow, as the sun got stronger ANOTHER one came out above it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_lyLJjz9AjqKmXWr7pjuCZbpGsLJxdXNUR3tdz9wCRlHheSlcN_aNGXGCaCZNzuoqqdBoTaFSQAwmhW_rtJ8pQTDohpiJApxPCKwNffroH_d06UAMMMhp0J3Awg6eYqAuohx_FhdY3o/s1600/P4030002.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_lyLJjz9AjqKmXWr7pjuCZbpGsLJxdXNUR3tdz9wCRlHheSlcN_aNGXGCaCZNzuoqqdBoTaFSQAwmhW_rtJ8pQTDohpiJApxPCKwNffroH_d06UAMMMhp0J3Awg6eYqAuohx_FhdY3o/s400/P4030002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592191404981604322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FukC4dBvm0brDo73MBd9coAxg1ebmgKS7KkkuQ5eqFGjl1v7vKm9Jpx6g4_f5W2GZmPxuBfbaZ-2tJ40ymq6jbvShcl5q9Qhhgw1VEeY_XfxcBCGO1I_oBwEw5bt3mbWLrqo2xnfHMY/s1600/P4030010.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FukC4dBvm0brDo73MBd9coAxg1ebmgKS7KkkuQ5eqFGjl1v7vKm9Jpx6g4_f5W2GZmPxuBfbaZ-2tJ40ymq6jbvShcl5q9Qhhgw1VEeY_XfxcBCGO1I_oBwEw5bt3mbWLrqo2xnfHMY/s400/P4030010.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592191401518832146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZuMo1Z5KsZn06tWE9hgjVSlFrPnw5yxl7XXEkSVVcWHe31w87B0avNW9zpAXiSJBMl_1fMonWxKSsHOrjMrmU3-HBP6mjdbZ-BBj5zfjl5kUNpQnnW71BEvVdfjcCDmcZK9AD_wK3u4/s1600/P4030009.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZuMo1Z5KsZn06tWE9hgjVSlFrPnw5yxl7XXEkSVVcWHe31w87B0avNW9zpAXiSJBMl_1fMonWxKSsHOrjMrmU3-HBP6mjdbZ-BBj5zfjl5kUNpQnnW71BEvVdfjcCDmcZK9AD_wK3u4/s400/P4030009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592191397483203330" /></a>It was a perfect mothers day.

Thought you might like to see a few nice photos before i bore you all to death with this post?</div><div><br /></div><div>*WARNING THIS IS A LOOOONG RAMBLY POST!*</div><br /><div> </div><div>So, thats me lately, mental, i think i AM actually going mental. I just feel like i have SO much going round in my brain that if i dont get some of it out i'll end up sat in a small corner of my house rocking whilst holding my knees!</div><br /><div>Firstly i want to apologise, i dont feel like im that 'finger on the pulse' blogger that some of you girls manage to be, i have ideas for posts, then someone else gets in there before me and writes an identical account, or i cant photograph what id like to blog because my camera is broken, or i sit down after the girls have gone to bed with all good intentions, and fall asleep by 7.15pm...So, you catch my drift right?</div><br /><div>Things are all good with us right now, there isnt alot to show and tell for the moment anyway i guess. The bathroom(the SODDING bathroom ive renamed it) has become a bit of a pain in the arse, but as soon as its finished i will show it to you, in all its glory, please accept my apologies its taking SO LONG... you can wait a little longer, right?</div><br /><div> </div><div>Babys room/landing has had a white paint makeover and the carpet went down last week, so i can reveal all when i can get a man in to move all my furniture back to where i need it. </div><div>Of course, nothing's ever simple, and i inadvertantly managed to instruct the fitters to completely cut off the main tv ariel into the house. Major, MAJOR catastrophe. Still not fixed, no idea when it will be...thank god for BT Vision!</div><br /><div>Mr P isnt around right now as we have been blessed with the weather we need to get the crops in. It means i have the place pretty much to myself and he doesnt get shouted at for coming home filthy as im already asleep by then! </div><div>But, there are a great many 'jobs' on my list which are niggling at me to be finished before the baby comes in precisely 5 weeks!</div><div>This includes a major leak under the sink being rectified, i cant use the dishwasher, OR pour anything down the sink at the moment, i think if it goes on for another day the men in white coats will have to carry me off!!!!!!</div><br /><div> </div><div>Then theres the garden, oh, my poor poor garden, There are about, oh, a million ? things i need/want to do out there, but im being realistic now, my body just wouldnt be able to cope with any hard graft, and, i just don't have the time(or the energy) right now. </div><br /><div> </div><div>I still need to organise 'most' of the cupboards in my house, the uncontrollable nesting urge dictates the actions of my every waking hour right now, and the cupboards seem to be my target-tidy cupboards mean more room for tidy 'stuff'. </div><div>Ive kind of fallen out of love with my house, it just feels too challenging, the dogs/cats/kids just create SO much mess and physical dirt that there is literally a thick layer of brown dirt on every surface at the start and end of <em>every</em> day. Remind whats so idyllic about living on a farm?!</div><br /><div> </div><div>I still have loads of stuff to get in prep for the baby, so far i still need a mattress for the moses basket, and one for the crib, and sheets for both, plus sheets for the cot. I need to get a blind made for babys room, i need to get to ikea for 'bits' for baby's room. I also need some more 'mummy stuff' which a new mummy cant be without.</div><br /><div> </div><div>Then soon its easter, the girls are always inundated with so much chocolate that they're still trying to work through it in October so im planning something which isnt chocolate orientated for them, i will be even more heavily pregnant by then so must must must sort it out now!</div><br /><div> </div><div>Mothers day cant have escaped your attention, in the uk its in just a weeks time, shit, one week?! Where did that creep up from....cards bought, must sort gifts - x3!</div><br /><div> </div><div>So, there we have it, the latest installment in my crazy life...be back soon, hopefully feeling slightly more sane, i promise x</div>A Farmers Wifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07415633156453008068noreply@blogger.com5
