Reasons to be Cheerful

This is the first time I've tried doing one of these, so I sincerely hope I get it right. It's being hosted by my friend Michelle, who is Mummy from the Heart.

My reasons to be cheerful this week!

1) I've just managed to run a software update on my Kindle without tears, or resorting to asking DH to do it. Go me and my techo-phobic self.
2) Jack has no homework this weekend. Not that it's a battle to get him to do it, but I think it's good for him to just be able to play Lego with Luke and ride his bike.
3) We're having Sunday lunch tomorrow at my Mum's, with my sister and her boys and my Mum makes a fabulous roast. :-)

Just the little things, that are pleasing this little mind today.

The Seldom Seen Other Half

Tiff works in construction and commutes a hour plus each way, every day, so he is gone in the morning before the rest of us are up and comes home late. This week was unusually busy, but he was out Tuesday and Thursday nights, had bible study here on Wednesday and came home at 8 last night because there had been a late meeting and drinks. Weekends are quite precious to us as a family. (So why am I lying on the bed, blogging?) Anyway, here is the SSOH and his beloved guitar, as photographed by Luke.

I'm a bad blogger

and I worked out why. I think I may have set the bar a bit high for myself. The truth is that I really struggle to practise the presence, some days I don't even try. I am a mum of three relatively small boys, married to one hard-working, but seldom seen (sort of!) husband and I need to be a bit more real. So, I will be renaming the blog and trying again!
