Parents

As a parent, there are many things I want for my kids, I want them to be happy, I want them to grow up and do something they enjoy doing and feel the huge sense of satisfaction in what they choose. I want them to feel that no matter what age, they can come to me and tell me their highs and lows.

Tonight, after being told my grandad had been taken into hospital today because of a bad chest infection, that this time it was serious. Now I didn’t mean for this to slip out, but whilst being told this and after a couple of responses of ‘you always say that’ and the look and words of ‘yeah, but this time it is’, I accidentally said ‘yeah, but you always do this’! What I was meant to say was ‘you always say this’, but I fucked up with my words. The response to that was ‘ok, I won’t tell you anymore then’. Always a great response from a parent.


What I really wanted to say was ‘well you do and you know what, I can’t take it as well as what you actually think and I really struggle each time I’m told that you think he’s at the end and then he pulls through’. Obviously I’m glad when he pulls through. I don’t want to say goodbye to him. Each time it’s happened I end up in pieces overthinking it and I’m sorry my words came out like that earlier, but actually, maybe I needed to say it for my own sake because else I’d be sat here doing the overthinking thing again.


I’m learning to protect my feelings more and more. Maybe today my subconscious took over for a moment to help me out.

When all you want to do is cry!

Everybody has bad days, it’s just a part of being human. We all have our ups and downs. Today was a down.   It should have been such an exciting day. I’ve booked flights to go see one of my besties in America. Instead it turned into a day when I felt such a lack of respect from my manager and a colleague on an equal level to me.  It sucks having that feeling. I tried so hard to hold my shit together, then out of nowhere, one little tear escapes and I know I’m screwed.  Luckily I have another one of my besties that always makes the time I need to just get it out my system, cry on her as much as it takes and then I’m good to go! Thank fuck she was in the office today, I would be screwed without her! She will never know how much I need her in my life!

A change is always good!

Today is the day I decided that now is as good a time as any for a change! So, assuming my hair doesn’t melt in the strand test, in just over a months time I will go back to having some blonde highlights, with a root smudge and hopefully a couple interesting colours.  It’s a common theme with me to change the colour of my hair. I get to a point and decide I’m bored, then I search for endless hours on Pinterest or Instagram for inspiration. Last night I found ‘THE’ picture of the hair I want and I knew that was going to be my next experiment. I contacted my hairdresser and tonight, went to see her so she could take a strand of my hair to bleach tomorrow. I’m really hoping it doesn’t go badly. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow when she shows me a picture of the results. Fingers crossed!

The Intro to me!

Today is the day I decided to start blogging. Why, I hear literally no one scream!…..thanks for asking……because I have such beautiful content to put out there in the world that I felt blessing the world with it is my duty!   Only joking, it’s more like I’m having a midlife crisis and thought instead of having all this crap in my head, I’d burden the world with the random thoughts I sometimes have, that way it might feel like someone, at some point, is listen to me! Who am I? Great question! I, like literally millions of other people on this beautiful earth, am a granddaughter, daughter, wife, mother, friend and I like to hope, nice person (most of the time). I pay my bills on time….usually. I do that shop where you go in for 5 things and come out with over the weekly budgeted amount. I talk to myself, a lot! I recently had the realisation that I can have a whole conversation in my head, get out everything I want to say to someone, without actually saying it! Who knew the internal v...
