Back to school for Nae-Na, yes at last! It was a long three weeks having children with different school holidays. I hope it doesn’t happen again as its was a real juggling act. Thank God for MrJK and his work pattern and flexibility. Nae-Nae was excited to go back to school but she was also nervous. She wants to do so well this term and for her doing her best means not getting internally or externally excluded which is a bit sad but we’re working on it. She told me that exercising good behaviour all of the time is hard for…

Monday Monday… Nae-Nae was still off school today and she has a thing about having 100% attendance so she needed to confirm with me that she had an inset day. She knew she did but she came to me asking “Is it Inset day today?” I replied Yes. A few minutes later she came back again “Is it inset day today?” I replied “Yes Nae-Nae.” She then asked “What does inset day mean?” I explained it was a day when children do not need to go to school. She knew the answer to it she just asked for reassurance that…

Happy Sunday again! It’s becoming a habit and routine now at 7.30am on a Sunday I get woken out of bed no matter how tired I am, whether I went out the night before or not, by Nae-Nae who wants dippy (soft boiled) egg with toast ‘soldiers’ as we call them and always wants me to make it. I think this is the only thing I make better than MrJK so they come and get me. I do make the most perfect egg though, if I do say so myself. Nae-Nae gets me up to make it for the family…

Over half way through the month… wow it’s flying! I have so much to do at the moment so I was up doing those admin tasks while the kids were finishing home work and playing. MrJK went food shopping as he does and came home and finished some housework. I had a booking which was cancelled and then another commitment but due to my workload I just couldn’t get there. I hate being behind with work and admin so until I feel in a good place I have to do the work. I felt like I needed a bit of…

Friday yay!!! I just wanted the working day to hurry up so I could get some time with my sis. We planned to go out tonight for a meal, chat and lots of laughter. I love her so much I just get excited when we get together. It’s important to have close people that you can hang out with who you can just chill with and know that they just get you and you get them so the encounters are just effortless in a good way. MrJK is good like that as he understands my need to get out so…

I woke up thinking how can it be Thursday already? This week is flying! It’s soon the weekend again yay!!!! I overheard MrJK tell Nae-Nae that they are going to town straight after breakfast so she should tell me what she wants to wear so I can iron it. Her response to him was just a simple “Ok Daddy.” I just sit there sometimes and just marvel at their conversations. When I need to go somewhere and need her to come with me I have to give her a whole story as to why, when, how etc and even then she…

I woke up to a shout from Nae-Nae. As soon as she called out “mummy” I remembered what I had forgotten to do… Her tooth! The tooth fairy job! Heck lol. However I quickly went to my purse got £1 and went to her aid. She explained that the tooth was still there and she’s been looking everywhere for the coin but can’t find one. I offered to help her look. Time to put my cunning plan into force… I asked her whether she wrapped the tooth in tissue? I could see that she didn’t. She said no so I…

I woke up feeling very thankful. This day 15 years ago MrJK and I signed a certificate to declare we wanted to share a surname and be together as husband and wife until we depart this earth. We had other wedding ceremonies in the same year so we tend to make a bigger deal of the anniversary in August as that’s when we blessed our marriage in church, nevertheless we still mark this day in some way by reflecting and giving thanks. I’m thankful that despite challenges of life, despite some silly things we have done and although we annoy each…

Monday morning yay!! Work again. As I woke up Nae-Nae came to my room said good morning and then she asked to feel my face. She often does that and loves the sensation. She doesn’t feel my face with her hands she does it with her lips and nose. She started on one cheek rubbing her dry soft lips across from side to side. Then she turned my face to get to the other cheek and she did the same. Next my lips and she hovered gently over them and I gave her a gentle kiss, she then needed our…

Happy Sunday again. Wow this part of the week has come around quickly. Even though the days are lighter for longer it just appears that time runs faster at this time of year. It’s psychological though. I woke up really refreshed from a good night’s sleep. After all that driving yesterday and waking up early I needed it. I was getting ready for church and talking to JJ reminding him that I’m taking Nae-Nae to a party after church to check if he changed his mind and wanted to come. It was a party of my friend’s twins who are…
