Catch up

Wow have I got a mega catch up to do !!!!!!!!! LOL

OK what has been happening............

One of the biggest things we did over the holiday was to go to Disney World Florida. We had been planning this since last year and it was one of those things that we didn't think was going to happen, it was definitely not a holiday, but an adventure and one I will always remember.

I was dreading the plane journey but even that was great, there was plenty of room and the in-flight entertainment was great, our own individual TV screens with films and games, Connor was in his element, the food was good too.

The resort had mixed reviews when we looked it up but it was really nice the apartment was large and spacious, the pool could of been bigger, but I think I only went in it once.

We managed to get through most of what we wanted to see, Connor went round getting Disney character autographs and photos and we all had our photo taken with Mickey Mouse, well you have to don't you lol

We went to Kennedy Space Centre, Busch Gardens, Sea World, one of my favourites, I know they are in captivity, but I had never seen a Killer whale and I was in absolute awe, it brought tears to my eyes being near to these fabulous creatures.

The Americans were soo polite, always friendly and smiling and that wasn't just in the Disney resorts, I must admit to seeing some very large people.

The food was out of this world, Connor was in heaven when presented with six different colours of 'Jelly' for breakfast, we didn't do this too often, the all you can eat buffets explain someway towards the weight problems and on several occasions my eyes were too big for my stomach and I suffered for it.

We went to a couple of evening shows and Mum celebrated her 60th Birthday.

Tye got to play golf on some of the most amazing courses.

All in all it was a fabulous holiday one which will stay with us for a long time, all I have to do now is get on with the Layouts.

This weekend I went to watch Connor play football, they have moved up to 11 a-side now and play 35 minutes each way which when we do not have any subs is tough for them. Connor had an amazing game, he was all over the field and tackling anyone who went past him, my heart nearly stopped a few times as he was brought down and I managed not to hobble out on the field to check he was OK. The other sides coach was heard to say keep an eye on that number 5, and my heart lept with pride, as I though 'that's my son'. I hate standing on the side of a football pitch, I hate the cold, I try to understand the off side rule, but all that pales into insignificance at the pride that I felt for my little boy.

My Laptop died again!!!!! I am sure computers hate me, luckily this time I did have an indication that this was going to happen and managed to get all my data and photo's off. Unfortunatley my OutLook diary was lost, all my dates, I could tell what we as a family had been doing for the last few years, all my birthdays and importants dates were saved, now I have lost these, I am struggling to find them all again.

Life is continually busy and we are coming into the most difficult part of it, for me anyway, I hate winter and it hates me, mind you did we have a summer?

The busy is doing well and I am now formatting my first Tax Return! gulp The All Day Crops have been so popular that we are now doing them every month as opposed to every other month as I had waiting lists for them. The only thing that seems to be suffering is my ability to scrap, I don't seem to have the time to do my scrapping anymore. Tye always tells me that my time management skills are crap, and maybe he is right, but I seem to be juggling so many things at the moment.

A friend is going through a tough anniversary at the moment, she lost her baby son Harrison last year and we have just had the anniversary of his Birthday, with the anniversary of his death to come. Although I have been though something similar I would never presume to know how she is feeling my heart goes out to her and as ever at the injustices of this world
