Guest Blogging and Sunshine

I slept like the proverbial baby last night couldn't have been MY babies they were talking about and woke up to the sun shining from the sky. Hurrah! It's still minus 20 but the young lassies will be out in flip flops, shorts and fake tan, ignoring the goosebumps, the blue toes and tsk, tsk tsking from the grannies passing by.

Lucy and Fraser woke me up with a cup of tea and a plate of ginger nuts...can you believe that. I was so amazed at having slept, so chuffed with my kind children that my head started to get around the fact that today, today I could merrily skip to the shops, stop off for coffee and possibly even go up a hill. I even rode the banister down the stairs with a merry 'weeeeeeeeeeeee' to find a forlorn looking lass pouting up at me, clutching her tummy.

Crash and burn, thoughts, crash and burn. So Kelly stayed at home. I questioned her for a moment but Kelly always goes to school, hating to miss anything and once we'd established that nothing was wrong at school, I looked at her pale face and tucked her into a blanket, resigning myself to the house.

It gave me a chance to package up these lovely little gifts from Snapdragon's Garden for my bloggy peeps; the last batch of Scottish lovelies went missing in transit, apparently some little bint somewhere is rubbing my tartan all over her house and 2 months later, I received my double surance: insurance and an assurance from the mailing company that the next batch would be safe. Nuh uh. These little beauties are being posted by my very own hands. Keep your eyes peeled.


I was asked to guest host a blog today by the lovely Charlotte at noteasilyoffendedmoms. As you can guess by the title, it isn't a blog for the faint hearted but definitely worth a look if you can stand the pace. She gave me three subjects to consider: sex, religion and/or politics. Hmmmm. Subjects that normally leave me in palpitations. Of course, having the opportunity to spew my diatribe all over someone elses page with permission didn't leave me thinking for too long. But I warn you now.

I plan to make some pakora and paratha bread for Lyn as she is having a weekend curry feast. I'll also be making some Parmesan crusted mini quiche tonight and will let you know how it turns out. Amazing what you can do with cheese, eggs and flour. Illness always spawns requests for chicken noodle soup and macaroni cheese so that is what is on the menu for the children; if they like the quiche, then supper is sorted.

Back to normal soon as Brian returns tomorrow night from his wanderings and I finally have Time returned to me.

Sex, religion, and politics are always subjects that leave me mentally spiraling and near panic attack. I've been practicing asserting myself and being confident in my ability to articulate without being pushy, but... for a born and raised people-pleaser, the thought alone is enough to give me a panic attack. I'll definitely be checking out your post over there.
Also? The foods you plan on making sound delicious. I'm thinking my oven will be put into use today simply to satisfy the food cravings I'm getting now, lol.

My husband used to travel all the time, but now that we started our own business, he's home all the time. When he traveled, I had a routine that went so smoothly, then I'd stay up late cleaning, or writing, or rearranging furniture, but I guess it was really me time. Then we celebrated when he came home. With the boys being older and the schedule too huge for one parent, it's great he's home now.

I love your project! One of my BFFs would love it, too! By the way, I feel for your. THere's nothing more relaxing, more fun than a day frollicking through shops, letting your mind just go where it will, and having a me day. Sorry your daughter was sick!

I hope all are well now!.I'm off to peruse your thoughts on the dirty dirty. You're writing about politics, right?
;)
