I cannot believe it is the last day of 2007! What a year it has been, full of ups and downs and roundabouts.
Logan is now one - which finally saw an end to what seemed like an endless month of wrapping presents. He is walking, although a bit unsteady still, but what a quick year it has been. No doubt this speeding up of time is a sure sign of my increasing age, but I will ignore that for now.
Christmas was lovely, a quiet day and a busy day only marred by poor Beth having chicken pox! She missed the whole last week of school, the one week that all the fun things happen in, and although she enjoyed Christmas she wasn't her usual bubbly self.
Katy and Logan had great fun. He played with all her toys and she played with all his. Everyone had lots of lovely presents and scrumptious food, although we didn't overdo it. All the males, except Gordon, were working Boxing Day night, so I was being the taxi driver.
My knee is now mended and I can almost go up and down stairs as normal, at last. Unfortunately I have managed to develop and ear and throat infection along with a blocked salivary gland which makes eating unbearably painful! So that will help me achieve my target for 2008 and being fitter and hopefully more healthy.
I rarely set myself targets and resolutions because things get in the way and then I feel bad about not sticking to them. I have to improve my fitness and hopefully lose some weight though. My health has been so poor this past year and it is getting me down so my future is in my hands.
I just want to wish you all a happy and healthy 2008. I wonder what delights the year ahead will have in store for you and yours, me and mine? Here's to a good one! Take care x x x
Just a quickie - life is pretty hectic at the moment, I wonder why?
For those of you who like digi scrapping have a look here and here. The second one is my fave as it includes some of my favourite digi designers.
I would like like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the designers who offer freebies of their hard work, I for one really appreciate it.
Back soon with an update. Take care x x x
I am still here but life has been fairly boring so not much to relate. I think a weekly update will do me for the next wee while until I manage to get a life again, lol. I can now walk unaided by stick or banadage, I just can't do stairs very well. In fact Katy can beat me on the stairs, as can Gordon's mum, opposite sides of the age spectrum but fitter than me - I can feel a new year resolution arising!
Anyway, Miss Katy is now three and had a good birthday for the most part. The rotten part was she spent the night before being sick and couldn't even eat her birthday cake. Luckily her party is on Friday of this week so she will be in top form for that.
Then Michelle decided she wanted some photos for Christmas. She had bought Logan a Santa suit as it will be his first Christmas, Katy also got a Santa outfit and Beth had an angel's dress. I could see this really cute phot in my head and had the scrapbook page planned for it. Sadly my skills as a photographer obviously leave a great deal to be desired as it was a disaster! Logan was crabby and cried then Katy got fed up. Beth just wanted to play with Katy's toys and I wanted to toss my camera out of the window! Maybe one day, maybe other people's children are better behaved, maybe pigs really can fly.
I had hoped to be back at work today but just wasn't up to it. I have to go back on Monday whether I am fit or not, I have masses of stuff to buy for Christmas as I have barely been out. I have managed a few pages but no cards as yet, despite the fact I have a ton of stuff. I think I may make them anyway and send them next year. I cannot believe how fast the past few weeks have passed, despite each day seeming long. Still at least Christmas will come again next year so I have another chance to get it right, or organised, or both lol. For now I am away to bed in the hope that tomorrow I will be able to achive something, no matter how small. Take care x x x
