Pouring with rain

First day of the holidays,half term,and it is pouring with rain
So a cosy Cwtchy day at home with the tv,blankets and the cats it is.
Rabbits have been fed and we need to check on my mum's dog at lunchtime but apart from that we are not venturing outside the door today.
We had an amazing day at Mount yesterday with the Kids RBT lunch and afternoon together,I love my church family and it was lovely spending time with them.

We have a new kitten

We have a new kitten,who we have named Rogue she is so sweet,she is black and white and a ginger/ biscuit colour ,she was the last of a litter of my mums neighbours cat

She means we are now a 7 cat household

Amazing wedding

Yesterday saw two of my friends get married, the last of 6/7 at church this year.
It was an amazing wedding which me,Paul and the boys attended with my Mum,we also went to the evening reception which was great fun with fruit trees and chocolate fountains and barn dancing,which was fun to watch but looked far too energetic.
This morning I have so far put a Beef casserole in the slow cooker for lunch and read the boys RBT verses with them,as it is Kids RBT this morning
I love how they have their own bible studies and their contributions amaze me .
I'm just so lucky to be a part of such an amazing church family xxxxxxxx

And breathe

The last few weeks have been mental,endless physio,drs and and hospital appts,not just for Reuben,but Zac and myself also.
Today Zac had the fracture clinic where we waited for an hr and half after his appt time to see the consultant who took one look at him and said he is healing nicely and she will see him in January,Arrrrrggghhh
Just what I needed on a busy day
Just had lunch and time to chill for a bit, before the school run, making tea for friends of ours who have had a new baby,delivering said tea ,then 6:47 for the boys and a friend who has started going with them
Maybe I can relax at 9pm.....by which time I will probably be asleep


On the positive side, I have enjoyed reading Leviticus this week and have read most of it
Also been doing a lot of art journaling,writing poetry,doodling,writing quotes and bible verses that have helped,all in one journal...sort of like therapy 

We have Love

We have a new grey rabbit called Love

It is Pratchett our baby rabbit's mum, and Love is the name she had when she came so we have kept it.
So this now takes the grand total of our animals to 10, 6 cats, 2 guinea pigs and 2 rabbits

I would sooooo love to have some chickens,as a friend of mine has just had 4, if I had a bigger house and garden I would have more animals for definite

The rabbits have been fab therapy for Reuben he loves smoothing them and helping look after them

And they are more than just pets ....... They are a part of our Family

Physio physio and more physio

Yesterday Reuben had his first day of 3 days of physio this week, followed by 3 next week, which considering he is looking and acting very tired already, will be fun by the end of the week.......

Zac has his 2nd physio session today, following the dislocation,fracture and chipped bone elbow incident earlier this summer... So we shall be off on the delights of local transport in a shirt while


I'm quite looking forward to the boys being back at school,hich is 2 weeks tuesday, just to be back into some sort of routine, and some me time, is that bad,

I mean being able to go to lunchtime meeting and ladies bible study at church, and tea at church prior Tuesday night prayer meetings, I'm a bit of a creature of habit who needs routine..... Well to a certain extent anyway

Fab weekend

This weeks has been fab but strange,
My mum has taken the boys away for the weekend, only the second weekend I have ever not had the boys since they were born, they have stayed 2 nights in my nana's when I had work training courses,but that was during the week and only in swansea
Well thursday night they went to stay at my mum's and then Friday they went on their hols, to Market Harborough to stay with my brother David.
They have had an amazing time by the sound of it and are due back sometime this afternoon/evening.

So what to do when you are child free.......
Friday night we went for food at a Toby carvery and then a sunset walk along the beach and home to 2 Fleetwood Mac documentaries
Saturday we went to Mc Arthur Glen for lunch and shopping, and hubby treated me to a fab new Saltrock Maxi dress, then we came home fed the cat and my mum's dog, and went out on a 10k bike ride,well I was on my bike ,Paul was on his skateboard, had a lovely time
Today I was up early as I was on sound at church, which is both an honour and a pleasure to do, I was truly blessed by the service this morning, and can't wait to be there again this evening
