I apologise for lack of updating my blog this week. The end of the school year is coming up and things are MANIC. Well and truly busy! School discos, parties, appointments with teachers, baking cakes for school competitions (Alice in wonderland themed! I am NOT a baker, I suck at baking cakes lol. Different coloured cupcakes with flowers and maybe 'Alice in wonderland' or 'Mad Hatter' wrote on with icing pens, is ok though, yes?? Seriously I am lacking time, lol!), the usual chores, grocery shopping, laundry (Is it just me that seems to be constantly washing, hanging and folding clothes?!) the list is endless and I can't even think straight. I am SO tired. 

Roll on the end of half term. 

On a better note, the kids are so, so looking forward to there discos and end of term parties. Not to mention games day. They can't decide which board games they want to take in! They're also allowed to take in there favourite DVD. Ellie is so looking forward to her school disco. She gets to join the year ones in there disco session! So grown up. Both boys are pleased with the teachers that'll be teaching them in September. Yet to find out who'll be teaching Ellie though. 

there school reports are wonderful! I am SO proud of them all. They all have excellent reports (and attendance). I'm really excited for them. The last week at school is always fun and I know they're gonna have blast.

I can not believe how fast this last year has gone. This time last year Ellie was getting ready to go up to primary school and Charlie getting ready to join the junior school, Harry was looking forward to being in year four. It's mad that I'm going to be a mum of a year 1, year 4 and year 5 children. HOW did that even happen?! Lol. Time flies when your having fun... or rather just being a mum. 

Roll on the end of term. I am looking forward to chillaxing days with the kiddos in the sunshine :D

So, it feels like I am coming down with a cold, at least I hope it's just a cold and not flu! Eugh. 
But of course, there's no rest for the wicked. Life goes on. I don't have a chance to sit back and relax. I have piles of laundry to wash, hang out, fold and put away. There's school uniforms and packed lunches, hoovering to be done and dishes to be washed, dried and put away. Dinners to cook and kids to pick up from school (except today because there was no school. It's May day and therefore a bank holiday. Thank goodness). I had an unsettled night last night, I don't know if it's because I changed my bedroom around and so the bed is in a different spot in the bedroom or because I just wasn't really feeling tired. Or maybe it was because I am coming down with a cold or something. Who really knows?! It was just one of *those* nights where I kept waking up and was up and down. It didn't help that the cat was meowing because she needed the litter tray and couldn't go because the door closed. Then she processed to be a pain in the behind and carried on meowing because she wanted t o go outside. 3am is not a good time for her to go outside, especially as one of the neighbours cats has gone missing (he's been missing since Friday night/early hours of Saturday morning. I really hope he turns up). 

I just hope tonight is a better night. I also hope that I feel better tomorrow. Or at least my throat doesn;t hurt so bad. 

Tomorrow is grocery shopping day but to be honest I could do without going. Not going to happen. Obviously we have to eat and so I shall plod on and go to Morrisons, get a weeks worth of groceries and go pay bills and whatever errands need to be done. Must remember to put the prescription for my medication in at the doctors!  
I can't complain too much because the kids aren't bad and they do try to help me if I ask them. Sometimes though, it would be nice just to have a break from everyday things, especially when I am feeling not so great. 
Chance would be a fine thing, eh?!  A woman's works is never done. 

Anyway, aside from that the weather has been amazing. Warm and sunny, lots of blue skies. The kiddies have been able to play outside in our large back garden. We're really fortunate to have a large back garden. the weather is suppose to be nice again tomorrow, if I'm feeling up to it maybe we could have a BBQ after school. Best make the most of it because after tomorrow it's suppose to be overcast and not as warm. Still, it beats winter, lol.

Anyway this post isn't really going anywhere, I just needed somewhere to whinge and whine, lol!! We all have days like that, right?

Thanks to everyone who wished Ellie happy birthday! She had a fab weekend. On Saturday we tok her out to Colchester castle (in north Essex!) We went on the train to Colchester Castle, looked around inside, which is now a museum... lots of fascinating things, got a chippy lunch and ate in the park! Ellie went on the playground for a bit, she LOVED it. We had a fab day and Ellie really enjoyed it. There were so many squirrels, so cute! The gardens in the castle park are beautiful.. and the pond/lake.. the trees are changing colour too. Such a beautiful time of year. Such fun. (I'll write about this in more detail sometime during the week when I am less sleepy lol)



Sunday was her actual birthday, she got soooo many presents. A new dolls pram, a Moshi monster scooter, Moshi monster moshling figures, Moshi monster notepad, pen and stationary set, colouring and activity books, playdough, chalk for outside (OoOo excited to draw a hop scotch and teach Ellie how to play, hehe), money, sweets, glowing tinkerbell, some clothes, my little ponies... and I think that's it.. although probably, missing a few lol. We had a small tea party in the afternoon, lots of balloons and food and birthday cake of course :D It was really lovely. Ellie was shattered by the end of the day, lol. The boys really enjoyed her tea party too!! (I will be sharing pics soon so please look out for those)

I am soooo sleepy tonight. I've had a headache for two days.. darn IIH. I have an appointment Thursday, my GP will probably refer me back to the neurologist, again. *sigh*.  Right I'm going to go, I am sooooooo very sleepy tonight.

Honestly, I am just so tired. I have no idea what is wrong with me lately, I just feel tired. Constantly. All. The. Time. It's driving me mad! I think I might be anemic, again. I don't know but I am going to the doctors because it is not normal to feel THIS tired all the time. I hada good 8.5 hours sleep last night and all day I have felt so tired, my eyes are stinging, it's as if I haven't been to sleep at all last night. Even first thing in the morning when I wake up after a good nights sleep, I still feel tired, urgh.
Anyhoo moving on..
The boys had a nice time at there dads this weekend, they went fishing over night and half the day. Both boys caught a few fish, the're so proud and couldn't wait to tell me about it, aww. Ellie has had a good weekend here with me. Just me and her, it's been nice.
Tomorrow I need to write there names in the uniforms, P.E kits etc, fun times eh?! I know, I've left it until last minute.. Oh well. They're all excited about starting back at school. Charlie is really looking forward to being a junior, lol.
Anyways I'll leave this here, Ellie is calling me and the cat is me-owing to be fed (again) lol. It's never ending in this house, lol.

P.S I am currently addicted to pinterest. Such fun!

Woohoo it's finally Friday! I feel absolutely exhausted today! See, I decided that I needed to *ME* time (watching random stuff on youtube, listening to 'keep calm and relax' album etc) so I stayed up late last night thinking "oh it's ok I can nap tomorrow". Only problem with that was I forgot that the plumber/heating engineer was coming to fix the boiler and flush out the whole heating system this morning at 8am. Somehow I managed not to write it down on the calender. It takes pretty much most of the day. There goes my nap... So instead me and Ellie have been doing puzzles, pottering around doing housework (with Ellies "help" lol) & doing laundry. Its now 11am and I am just SO tired. I know, it really IS my own fault. Early night tonight. No, really, I MEAN it, I NEED an early night tonight!

I need to get back into reading, I have a few new books to read but the last few days I just haven't really be bothered. I've picked up my e-reader a couple of times but I can't get into anything. I did start re-reading fifty shades again but the problem is, I think I might ruin the movie for myself. I really NEED Ian Somerhalder to be Christian Grey.

Hmm, how many times have I mentioned the word 'NEED'?! lol. This is a very needy post, haha.

Harry has football club after school today, I am hoping it doesn't rain so that I can take Ellie & Charlie to the play park near the school, otherwise I have to come home and then leave 10 mins later to collect Harry from football. Going to the park is so much easier, lol. We've not been to the park for a good couple of weeks as the weather has been so unpredictable! I think the kiddies would love a trip to the play park :)
