Bad Luck

This is how I feel right now... I am so sick of life throwing curveballs at my family. It's like somehow nothing can go right and when it does, it starts going wrong again.

My family has been through enough in the past 5 years. We've struggled and lost so much but life just keeps delivering those punches and I honestly worry about how much more it can take. 

Happiness is such a precious and fragile thing. Right now it seems that life is trying to break our happiness whilst we hold on to it with the very tips of our fingers.

It's not fair!!

But at the end of the day, I know that I have to put on my bravest teacher face, keep on smiling and pretend that nothing bad has ever happened to me in my life...

Bit of a sombre blog today at 10PM. I apologise.

Love to you all

Tip Tuesday

I thought I would be a little ironic on this Tuesday evening. I haven't done Motivational Monday in a while so here's a little quote to get your inspiration juices flowing!!

This picture and quote is so ironic to me because I spend my whole life planning and replanning. But actually you don't always need to. In my job, yes I do but my day to day life, I  hate planning. Mainly because I forget the plans so quickly but also because I spend my life structured enough, sometimes I do want to just see what happens or see where the day takes me.

If you're having a bad day, I think this is also perfect advice. Forget about the day not going to plan, breathe and just enjoy life.

Extreme Reading

As I said yesterday, my school is doing an extreme reading focus to try and get children to get excited about reading and to help the cause, they asked all the staff to get involved. This meant that this weekend I had to take a picture of myself doing some extreme reading.. Now, this picture is not quite extreme but my original plan of going on the roof of the extension on my house might have been extreme but I'm not sure it is a great way of being a role model for my children. This was the compromise...

Bearing in mind there were loads of kids in the park when I did this, I did feel pretty silly. I took multiple pictures of me on the swing and slide but this one looked the best.

The things I do for my children, eh!

Have a happy Monday!

Hello March/Birthday Party

It doesn't seem possible that it is already the third month of 2015. It feels like 2015 just started yesterday and we're already coming close to being a quarter of the way through the year... Absolutely mental.

Today is such a busy day for me  because although it is Sunday and the day of rest, I have been up and planning for ages. I have until 2 to be finished and ready for my nephew's first birthday party and I'm freaking out just a little. Next week is an important week for our school and I can't even begin to think about the long list of things I still need to do... Never mind.

Max's party today is from 2:30-5:30 (including tidying up) so I'm going to enjoy his party and then come back and worry about more planning and resourcing until well into the night I'm sure. What a life I lead!!

This actually speaks a lot of truth because although I spend all my Sunday planning, it does make my week easier when I've got everything prepared and ready to go- it doesn't make me feel like I'm out of control or stressed because I know I've spent my Sunday sorting everything out. If I didn't, it would make my evenings even harder than they already are during the week!

Today, I have to take a picture of myself doing some Extreme reading for school... I am yet to know what I quite want to do but if I take a funny one, I may share it with you tomorrow.

Here is an example but I can assure you, I will not be doing anything as amazing as this. I couldn't even get myself up an inch off the ground , let alone that much!

The things I do for my job, eh!

Anyway, it's the start of Spring and I'm looking forward to the lighter days, the warmer weather and just seeing the sun a lot more- there's  nothing better than waking up in the light and coming home when it is still light. I also have big plans now that the days are becoming longer which include finally booking some driving lessons. I'm hoping to book some for Easter and then book one hopefully every week, even if I do it on a Saturday!

Well, that is my big spiel on my life on this Sunday. What are you doing? Leave me a comment down below!
