That Happy Feeling!


After the last couple of years and experiencing an international pandemic, home schooling children (which I’ll be honest, never thought I’d do, but actually learnt a lot more than I did at my kids ages), spending 24 hours a day with my kids and husband for a period of 3 months, going back to working in the office, changing jobs unexpectedly and having more responsibility then I envisioned having, I came to the realisation that I am in such a great place right now!


Like many people, in 2020 adapting to what was happening around the world was new. We were told to stay inside, only go out for an hours exercise, don’t see anyone else that wasn’t already in your household, to change our way of living to save lives. 


In that time I learnt just how amazing my kids were with school work, what they did and didn’t enjoy doing, what they maybe struggled with but didn’t tell us about. They really surprised me! I know ‘the virus’ wasn’t brilliant to have around, but it gave me and my husband a glimpse into our kids worlds that we hadn’t had chance to see before. They handled lockdown so well and all in their stride. 


At the beginning of July we had to go back to work. Not gonna lie, I wanted to stay on furlough. I loved being home with the kids and hubby, we had such a nice time together. As the month went on someone who was on Mat leave informed the manager she wouldn’t be returning. Initially I thought a good friend of mine would get the job, but was told she wouldn’t as she wasn’t quite at that level. I jokingly said the manager could give the job to me and her response was ‘well….if you’re interested!’, which knocked me sideways. I wasn’t expecting that. We had a chat and I ended up getting the job. I can honestly say I didn’t see my year ending up being the supervisor of that team.  


Within a month, one member of the team had left (which wasn’t a bad thing) and two more were on their way to join us. The team went from strength to strength and still continue to do so. I love my team, I love being their supervisor. I love the freedom I have from my manager to run the team how I feel it should be.


My kids are doing so well in and out of school. They both seem to have grown about 8 foot and are super tall. Their personalities are amazing! They are both so caring, funny, loving and intelligent. Each day they entertain us and I look forward to each weekend to spend more time with them.


At the beginning of 2022 me and my husband decided this year will be the year we sort our finances (which we’ve done), stress less and have more fun. So far, we are doing pretty well with that. It’s so nice to feel happier and less stressy.


There is a sense of satisfaction in all areas of life right now. It feels so good!

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...
