The start!

Hmm, this is something that i have been thinking of doing for a while, though i had no idea it was so easy to set up a blog! a few clicks and i was away! - well the thought behind doing this is for a personal diary.....was never much good a keeping them as a child or an adult, as seeing as i spend so much time at my computer i thought that this would be easier, i am not sure who if anyone will ever read it except me, but hey ho!
My life is pretty boring really...lol, so it's probably not of much interest to anyone else, but i will try to keep at least a weekly blog of what everyone in the house gets up to .....the trials and tribulations of having four children, two boys 9 and 11, and two girls 13 and 15, also 2 step children (they don't live here) girl 6 and boy 14 - as you can imagine a very hectic house when they all get together
I work in a primary school and support some children that need extra help, on the whole this is enjoyable.
I used to home educate my children till a couple of years ago when they all decided to return to mainstream education, the times that i had with them was enjoyable though exhausting and i do sometimes miss the freedom it gave us.
I am at the moment studying Spanish through the OU, this is sometimes hard to fit in but i am determined to do it!, bit like the losing weight business, i am determined to do something about it this year, it is slowly but surely creeping up constantly, i am not about to publish to the whole wide world what i weigh, but will say each week how i am doing!, probably badly but then i can but live in hope!- you only get out of life what you put it into it! - that should be my motto!

Our house is always hectic - the 9yo is like a lightbulb - he goes 'ping' the moment he wakes up and never stops!, he usually drives his siblings mad, and me sometimes! but mostly is a breath of fresh air - he loves computer games - what 9 yo doesn't these days!

11yo - has his 'moments' - not so many now compared to a few years ago, i put that down to growing up, school and the influence of the other half of my life - mostly he is lovely, enjoys the usual stuff 11yo do, guitars, computer games, and loves reading, though usually when he should be asleep in his bed!

13yo - is nicknamed 'obstropolous' she definatley knows her own mind and this definatley comes from being home educated - sometimes this can be a bad thing, but i know that when she becomes a fully fledged adult this will serve her well - she will definatley not be a 'sheep' thankfully

15yo - well all 15yo are lovely ....aren't they???? usual thing - make up, music, boys, messy bedrooms, and not all in that order, has some lovely qualities just wish i could see more of them sometimes.

6yo - little princess, can do no wrong..or so daddy says...lol, she is a very polite and clever little girl, shame she has the influence of her mother, though i suspect it wont be long before she starts doing things they way that she wants to and bugger everyone else! she definatley rules the house when she comes to stay!

14yo - lovely lad - polite, apparantley has a messy bedroom at home (according to his mum) but into music, drums, football, lol, the usual

other half - well we met again after 20+ years of being apart (we were bf and gf, when we were 18) seems like we have never been seperated now...lol, mostly he is lovely and i do love him to bits, but he is an official grumpy old man, moans and moans about anything and everything....though i know he loves me to bits really, but i do wish he wouldnt moan so much...lol

well thats it for my first blog, 'cept to say that when it is appropriate i will post photos. Thats it for now :-)
