It’s been a strange few weeks to say the least, there was the VIP Disney Trip followed by the excitement of a pregnancy, the desperation of a second miscarriage (in three months) and the confusion of packing in my job and becoming ’self employed’ (code for housewife or stay at home mum, I prefer the latter, less ironing).

There were a couple of days where it all felt a bit much, but I drew on the support of my husband, family and friends (which includes all my friends online, if I haven’t mentioned you it’s because I’ve run out of words). I’ve moaned, felt a bit sorry for myself, and wondered what the hell I was doing with my life. I’ve also remembered that I’ve been through worse, much worse, and that I’m on the path to having everything I’ve ever wanted, a happy family, a nice house, a fulfilling job/career/role, all of them are a work in progress but I guess that’s where you’re supposed to be in your mid-twenties.

The cloud is lifting now and a few sums tell me that we’re not about to go hungry. Panic job hunting is pointless. It’s time to regroup and focus on what’s important. I have important business to take care of right here, so that’s what I’ll do for now (in between blogging of course). I have a summer of gardening, family time, holidays (well one big one anyway) and who knows what travel trips…

September will hopefully bring a new job that has been in the pipeline for a while.

Will the Disney 7 rise again in 2009? Probably not, but who knows for 2010…

and will that be the same year we see an addition to our family? I hope so, but I guess that’s out of our hands.

Lots of good stuff happening…

I’m off to upload some Disney videos, watch this space Craig the Barman is coming….

Top ten things that would make up the worst day ever (I think I’m up to about 7 today already). Part of the ProBlogger writing project.

Number 10 : Require the need for a tradesperson. Full Stop. (apologies if you are indeed a reputable tradesperson….eh….could you email me your number by any chance?).

Number 9 : Be going on holiday, and have to pack – for yourself, your husband and the children.

Number 8 : Realise that you have ‘run the cupboards down’ so much for said holiday that you no longer have anything edible for lunch…or tea…

Number 7 : Call up your bank for a simple balance and have them quiz you about every transaction across four accounts over the past month…..just for security purposes of course.

Number 6 : Just before you leave for said holiday (1000 mile round trip?) find that one of the tyres is very close to the minimum national tread depth.

Number 5 : Wake up to changeable weather and remember that I haven’t bought daughter gloves and hat because I couldn’t find a set ‘cute enough’ ….ahem HELLO practicalities first.

Number 4 : Come up with a great idea for a business 2 days before going on holiday….

Number 3 : Having the need to ring a call centre in Bangladesh and speak to ‘Peter’ about my bank account/washing machine/insurance which is based in good ol’ Great Britain.

Number 2 : Venturing out and onto the bus service knowing fine well I’ll have to wait for about four buses before one can fit the pram on.

Number 1 : Have no breakfast, snack or sustinence since 5pm yesterday (it’s 12pm, and yes, that’s an issue because I get very ratty without food!)

Have a Good Day!
