Oh no the car....

Well the week started off well as my eldest had a activity day with a friend doing Archery, Falconry and Wood Crafts, but on the way home our car decided to play up, so now we have no car, so had to cancel a number of things and one very important catch up with my best friend who i haven't seen for a while which made me very sad :(
But we have been busy going for local walks, the boys have started making some volcano pencil holders and very busy doing science experiments.

Hope everyone is enjoying the half term if their kiddies are in school and  enjoying the sunshine being out. More soon.

Sleep Apnea and what it does....

So does anyone suffer with or knows someone that has this awful awful condition?
A family member of mine has it and has been battling this longer than we know and it has completely changed our lives, his especially.

The only way I can grasp alittle bit what its like for him everyday is how sleep deprived I felt when my boys were  born those first few months were hard real hard sleep wise. This affects everything his whole life is such a very negative way the ability to function full stop, work, gym, socially, emotionally everything not a way to live at all, sucks the enjoyment out if everything as well as being a awful strain healthwise even with a cpap machine in use.

I feel very sad at the moments thinking about this with no end in sight. Yes there are obstacles that challenge all of us but this one sure sucks.

I'm Sorry this is not a upbeat post but this has been life for a while. On abit of a brighter note I have just taken part in a stationary exchange and currently doing a work exchange  with another artist whilst family life continues and uni work calls my name.

The Weekend (where has it gone!)

Well can anyone tell me where the weekend has gone! I seemed to have misplaced it! I'm sure it was here just a moment ago!!!
This is definitely how I feel right about now, that and totally exhausted craving a glass of wine and a cold shower, yes surprisingly seeing as it is totally freezing here, wow it just disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I guess I have been busy, finishing the below collage which I really enjoyed the process of making, started on a brooch for a exchange I am taking part in more about that in another post.  I also had a Beaver conference on Saturday as I am a Assistant Beaver leader to a local group, uni work and today the boys had a couple of friends joint party to go to and that's it the weekend gone.

My lovely hubbie bought the below earrings for me today as a wee treat from one of my fav shops on etsy, looking forward to their arrival
How's your weekend been? Good I hope.

Those no longer here....

I was thinking just now on the way home from my mum and dad's about my Grandad Steve (Mum's dad) how he would have been just like me!
When I say like me I mean with similar loves, worries, dreams and so on. He had 6 children 2 girls and 4 boys and life must have been hard sometimes. But he would have had dreams for his children and himself and his wife (my nan).

Just strange to think the lives that those we love in some cases has ended, as we know it. But I'm sure there must be something next, such wonderful loving souls can't just end I don't believe that at all.

Just my thoughts.
