Well it has been a while since I have posted. Life has petty much got in the way so when it comes to sitting down I am too tired to think.
Tom has been sick for about a week and half. It started off as flu which then developed into sinusitis and a chest and ear infection. He is never sick so this has really knocked him for six. He hasn't even played his X Box so he must have been bad. It was his first trip from the the house today so we headed into town and bought a few bits for Liv for holiday.
I then came home and scrubbed and cleared the yard. Next door had some work done and the cheeky roofers left some of their stuff in our yard. Also plants I bought about 4 years ago died about 3 3/4 years ago and the weeds were taking over so they have all gone. It is a teeny tiny yard yet I managed to fill 3 garden sacks, amazing!
Liv is turning into a real little girl now. She is discovering what her legs are for. We have been walking around whilst she holds my hands, it is too cute. She doesn't keep her feet still though she is always on the go so she falls over after a couple of minutes but she will be toddling before I know it.
Not long now until our week away in Whitby with the Griffins and Parkers. I really really can't wait it is going to be so much fun and it will be a much needed break. i think I shall go and Google "things to do in Whitby" :)
Hopefully now Tom is back on his feet and can help with the baby wrangling I shall have the energy to blog some more.

Tired.com
I am finding it hard to catch up on myself lately, work is hectic, after work is hectic, sleep is sporadic and I am aching all over. (seriously all I do on here is moan haha! This is part of the reason I posted Hugh as a break from whinging)
We have more teething which majorly sucks. I got a call from nursery to go and pick her up today but we are so busy in work I had to call Tom to do it. She had a bit of a temp and was apparently inconsolable but she was fine when Tom got there. The two of them ended up going to the park for a play and she took a couple of assisted steps, she obviously refused to do this again when I got home typical :)
Holiday countdown is on, 6 weeks on Friday we head across the country to Whitby or Scarborough or somewhere around there heh. I am so looking forward to a week away from real life. I am rather nervous though as I suck at cooking and the thought of having to try and cook a meal one night for 6 adults and 6 kids is terrifying me! I think I need to start looking for ideas that are easy, healthy and someone with chromes can eat! rah!
It is Apprentice night tonight which sadly is a highlight of my week. My house is a disaster zone so i should be tidying and so on but seriously I can not arsed, I will just have to make sure we don't have guests this weekend :)
Only two more get ups until the weekend woohoo!

June already!
Time is flying by far too quickly!
I am trying my best to pick myself out of the slump I have been in since 16 May. There is nothing and everything wrong at the moment and being fairly miserable is such damn hard work. I keep looking at the crap people have to deal with and my wibbles are nothing in comparison.
As it is June I can say that I go on holiday next month HOOZAR! A week away in Whitby / Scarborough with my lovely Tom and Olivia, Luke Ellie and their clan and Beth, Dave and the boys. it is going to be so much fun, even if I think Luke adn Beth will murder each other, siblings with different ideas of how to plan a holiday. Tom and I shall just sit and let them fight and then we will agree with the last one standing :)
I am also stupidly jealous of my friend who is pregnant, she had a little one in July and number 2 is now due in November. It was a complete accident as she forgot how the pill worked! It is so wrong to be jealous especially as we're not even trying yet!
Well tomorrow is Thursday so almost Friday, the boss is off and me and Vicki are going out for lunch to have a couple of drinks and have a major bitchfest about work. I love my girls in work, we spent the morning randomly shouting quite load WE HATE THIS HOUSE haha it's the daft things like that, knowing that we're all hating it, that make it easier to go in.

Right off to watch the crazy feckers in Corrie :)

What a week!
I have quite frankly had a rubbish week, it could have been a million times worse of course but in my life of nothing ever ever happening I have been on self destruct mode!
It started off with work being it's usually shitty self, I really am struggling with getting up to go in there. I have asked to change my hours so I can finish at 4.30 and get to spend some extra time with my Oliviasarus, it has to go to the board so fingers crossed there is a meeting soon and they remember to discuss it.
Felt really quite sick on Monday but it was stupidly busy so I stuck with it. (Not sure why I bothered no one thinks any better of me for it!)
Tuesday was a long day at Alder Hey, although Liv was such a superstar, coping really well with the several hour delay and came out of recovery wide awake like they hadn't actually put her to sleep, which the did as I was holding her while they did it! (that still makes me want to cry).
All is going great with her eyes and she is doing better than they expected her to do so fingers crossed she keeps going this way and I shall be one very happy bunny!
Wednesday still feeling pants I got up to go to work, why? God knows. On the way I was plodding along to get the train and then suddenly I was doing some crazy lady jig trying my best not to fall on my face.
I really hurt my ankle but at the time I was just so embarrassed that I kept walking. there were a gang of kids stood at the corner who bizarrely didn't say anything and a fair few people behind me. as I tried my best not to limp (I failed badly at this) up to the station everyone behind me during my street dancing session started over taking me. I got on the train and felt waves of sickness. I wasn't sure whether this was the fact I wasn't well or the pain in my foot.
I got in and said that I was going to clear my desk and then be gone by 12.30. As the day went on and got worse my ankle of sorer and I didn't leave until 25 minutes after I should have gone home on a normal day! sometimes people take the piss and I am such a mug for taking it.
I think I have always been that person in work that people know will do things and at times take advantage of it. I tried to stick up for myself on Wednesday which lasted a whole fecking 10 minutes. As far as I see it I have two options 1) bring baby plans forward a couple of months and pray for an early catch or 2) look for a new job which may be impossible in itself and delay baby #2 GAH
Thankfully I knew I had some time off on Thursday as Liv had her last set of jabs and as the pain was still bad I went for a trip to the hospital at the top of the road, very handy! I have some ligament damage and some crutches. crutches are a pain in the ass and i feel rather embarrassed using them.
Liv had her jabs and was quite good until 10 minutes later and we got to the supermarket and she screamed the place down poor love so we got home and had cuddles on the floor :)
Friday I put her in nursery, had the day off work and it was supposed to be an easy day, blimey sitting down doing NOTHING is hard. The doing nothing changed after lunch though as my lunch exploded in the microwave so I had to clean that and then led to cleaning the kitchen and bathroom and then aching haha
Yesterday and today weren't too bad. Minor injuries paper cuts, banged heads and cut lip, I think I need a bubble wrap suit!
Ah well tomorrow is our 3 year wedding anniversary (!) so that should be a good day. We have a sitter for the day as the volcano stopped erupting and the ash cloud buggered off so my mum got home so we are going to the flicks and for a meal.
Right that is a rather moany post, I must make en effort to get out of my grump and be more cheery :)

BONGO SOLO
I miss listening to The Chris Moyles show in the mornings, the show really makes me laugh but they run late all the time and I find myself standing still listening to them instead of getting ready for work so now I have to put the news on instead.
Now that my iPod seems to be working again I have been downloading the podcast but my goodness I really shouldn't listen to it when I am going to work. When things are funny to me I can not control the laughing so on the way to work today an old man gave me a disgusted look and on the way home I made a girl next to me chuckle as I just couldn't contain myself.
I think everyone should listen to the podcast, it's awesome.
Going back to work in January wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, I guess it was nice to be around adults and playing daft games, it also came at the same time the hospital appointments for Liv settled down as well so it was nice.
There was a time a couple of weeks ago when I had a breakdown in work and struggled for the day but was OK for a while but right now it is so hard. I take Liv to nursery and she loves it and goes to the girls there and I spend a couple of minutes each morning looking at the photos on the wall and I feel sick and jealous that they get her all day.
The I am OK for a little bit as I meet Vicki on the train and we have a good natter like we've not seen each other for weeks not the day before but that is going to change soon. She has her final exams in a few weeks which she will pass as she is a genius and then in July she has a training contract and is being sent to another office so won't be back in Liverpool for about 2 years *sob*
The days are long and dull and I hate it and I miss Liv and I only have one picture of her on my desk and should get more but when I look at the one I have it makes me sad not happy.
Then I get in about 6 and she is tired from not sleeping that much in nursery because she is having too much fun, all the other kids sleep and she is catching on quite well, but she is normally in bed between 6.30 and 7 so the time we have isn't fun time, apart from the bath when she's not too tired :)
I can't afford to drop a day at work so I am trying to shuffle my hours around so I can finish at 4.30 instead of 5.15 so at least I get a good hour with her to play before all the bedtime stuff begins. Not sure what they will say bit loads of people work funny hours so I doubt they would say no
Having to work truly does suck :(
Wow didn't mean to go into a whinge about that, ah well obviously needed too! I was going to post something else about this but it has slipped my mind now.
Right time to go, Friday tomorrow, AWESOME!

The Talk and front doors
So I got around to telling Tom I am broody as anything and to my amazement he didn't run a million miles away, in fact he said he was surprised that I hadn't mentioned it earlier heh
I want to wait a little while so that baby number 2 (squeee) isn't born around the same time as Liv. So now it is the waiting game before the waiting game and time to get those folic acid tabs in the cupboard and weetabix for breakfast :)
So it is all very exciting and we have a long to do list for the house which would be great to get done. One of them is a new front door, I know where to buy a door but who do you get to hand them and do the locks and so on? I am so confused, also I don't want to be spending loads of money either, I have another baby to pay for hehe
This really has perked me up, I can't wait though it is a little daunting the thought of all day sickness with a toddler and then a new born with a toddler. Ah well I guess that is what grandparents are for :)
Right time to get a drink :)
