Welcome to my journal. I am a busy mother to 4 lovely children and i have trichotillomania. Here i will share the trials of everyday life and hopefully have a little fun on the way. Please feel free to leave a tag or comment, your input is always most welcome. But now it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride....its bound to get a little bumpy!!!!
! Thought I'd drop in to say hello. Hope you're having a sunny delightful day. XXX
Stephen King and teenagers! I loved him too... (not as much as Barbara Cartland)
I know....!

It's the beginning of the Easter Holidays.
Suzanne, Paul and Caitlin have some extra days holiday so they are off today but Louse is at school. The reason the smaller ones have extra time off is to allow the teacher to pack up the classrooms for the move to the new school. Some of you may remember my entry about the fires the school has suffered over the past few years and the disruption it has casued for the children. Well the children finally have their new school built and move in after the Easter Holidays.
Yesterday i took the camera to school and took some photos of the kids outside the school. They have really loved their time at that school and it will be sad to see the building demolished, but i am sure the new building wil be just as nice for them. Hopefully this will be the start of more settled times for them because the last few years the older children have been moved around between old classrooms in the local high school and temp huts. Luckily the junior section of the school was left untouched by the fires so the smaller children have remainied in the main school. It will be nice to have all the children back in one building and we can once again be a normal school community. 
The last two days have been beauitiful here. The sun is shinning upon us and the kids are getting out into the garden for some much needed fresh air and excercise.
It has been so cold for them lately that all they wanted to do was play in their rooms but yesterday and today they have been out on their scooters. I believe Caitlin is taking her dolly's for a stroll in their buggy today
It's also been great to get the clothes dried outside on the washing line. I have to do so much washing everyday and having the chance to get it outside to dry means the tumble dryer gets a well deserved break. It sure saves on the electricity too 
Urges have been pure hell for about the last week. Well whats new huh!!!! I think with the better weather coming in now i will see a huge difference. Now only in my urges but in my general positivemess. Winter always puts such a strain on me and there always seems to be this dark cloud looming no matter what i do.
Brighter, warmer days bring me out of that loomimng darkness and into the real world. 
The cross stitching project is going well. The wedding one is well on its way but i had to take a break from it so i could get Paul's dinosaur bookmark made. He has been driving me crazy asking for it.
It is almost finished but now Caitlin wants one too
I'll just change the colours round a little so it looks more girlie and make one for her then i will get back to the wedding one.
Another thing i have been doing a lot lately is drawing. I used to do it alot when i was at school, or at least i tried.
With a little patience and a lot of correction i could usually draw a half decent picture but i could never draw people, faces in particular. So i have been trying to perfect the art of drawing people. It's not going great but i am having fun trying. 
Time is running away from me here and i still have so much to do in the house so i will bid you all goodbye for now.
If i don't get on here before Easter Sunday i hope you all have a great day. Don't eat too much chocolate guys 
Love ans peace,
Michelle
