Life Appreciation

hey there all my avid readers..

*looks slowly from side to side, squinting into the distance*

ahem, okay

Well...what have I been up to? I hear you shriek with unabated impatience. Well not much and yet so much if that makes sense. The routine I follow is pretty much monotonous. It consists of work, kids and homely duties. However, within all this monotony, I find chaos surrounding my every move. Yep, only I could create such havoc in the midst of what should be a pretty mundane existance.

Actually, strike that - i'm not being fair there to other women in my shoes - or to myself come to that (changes title of post)

I have a good and exciting life actually, compared to many. I have a job where any two days are never the same and I work with a great bunch of supportive and extremely unassuming, funny individuals. I have three beautiful children who simply do not give me the time to get bored even if I wanted to. They always have something new to share with me and they are amazing to watch and to be around (albeit tiring!). I also have good, solid friendships and a Mommy that loves me.

I have been quite busy lately in terms of going out, too. I went to see SAW IV last Friday with my sister - awesome it was, too - but i'll blog about it at a later date. Then I went to a halloween party at my mums house on saturday - which was an excellent night that consisted of us all watching the 100 cheesiest pop songs on The Hits (whilst dressed at witches and ghoulish ghouls of sorts) and rockin' out to the likes of young Kylie, the Cheeky Girls, Spice Girls and Bucks Fizz.

I kids you not.

We rocked to Bucks Fizz.

I felt quite old that night actually. Not only was I in my element connecting with all the 80s tracks that were played - but I was totally out of touch with the noise that my sisters were listening to in the next room. As I heard the words 'What is this crap?' fall from my lips - I cringed openly. As if those very words were some kind of lament to the big '30' that is looming towards me. Close enough to the point where I can see and feel it changing me all to quickly. Oh well. Maybe the changes in me will be for the better.

On a slightly negative note, I am still going to get a divorce - but the whole thing is going to be a longer and more painful process than what I ever thought it was going to be. My hubby wants half of everything. He aint having it. Thats the short and curly of it right now - so it looks like most of our monies are going to be sucked up by solicitors anyway. But I dont care - as long as I have a roof over my head and health and my kids, i'll be cool.

Work is going well although I have been struggling through it feeling poorly for a while (ya know - that 'thing' whats goin' around). I am hoping to plan my time more effectively though so I can get stuck into this writing course that I wish to do. I want to write Medieval Romance Novels eventually.

Yup another thing on my 'to do' list. Medieval Romance Novels.

Bite me.
