Happy Blog Birthday To Me...

Doesn't time fly? It's one year ago today since I started this blog.

In that year...

I have become older, gained a few pounds and been brunette, red headed and blonde. I have been on 12 aeroplane's, been in accident & emergency on 3 occasions, owned 5 different cars, visted Iceland on 4 occasions, been in a helicopter and had 6 holidays.

I've been happy, hysterical, angry, sad, emotional and a little strange.

I've argued with people, laughed with people, cried with people, shouted at people and been in love with people.

I've made new friends and found old one's I'd lost touch with and better still I haven't lost any I did have...always a bonus!

I've been drunk more than a few times, I've been sick, I've seen the room spin but I haven't had a hangover.

I've bought more clothes than I've thrown out and I have less shoes than I had this time last year but I own more handbags and watches!

I've watched my Sis become single again and my Mum become part of a couple again. I've seen my baby start school and heard my daughter ask for her first bra (not bloody likely at 9!).

There have been no new births in my family and (sigh of relief) there has been no deaths either.

I've lost a wisdom tooth, 9 year old's lost a big tooth and 5 year old thinks he's found his first wobbly tooth.

I've been able to sit in a pub and smoke and now I've been made to stand outside a pub to smoke. I've taken drugs...but only on prescription. I've swapped Lemonade for Ginger Ale in my Vodka and I've realised that my Better Half snores like a pig.

I have been living with someone else's husband for longer than I lived with my own! Bizarrely though I am still a wife and have been married to my Husband for another year and will soon be "celebrating" my 10th wedding anniversary...you work it out!

I have gotten through another 365 days without my lovely Daddy and I am no longer angry with him.

I have toyed with idea of having another baby on at least 6 occasions but have still not thought of one good reason to go through it all again..I have managed to think of at least 5 why I shouldn't hence the reason I have not gotten pregnant in this last year.

All in all it's been a good 365 days.

I miss your dad also.

Whatever etheral plane he now resides in is a better place for having him, sadly this one has to do without. There is no justice...

Seeing as how my kids are sadly lacking in the grandparent stakes having lost 4 in 4 months and having only my wee Mammy left...are they allowed to adopt a granny?? If so could we have Mrs D??

Thanks for your kind words Mrs D and as for you Ross...

whenever I think of you and my Dad there is only one sentence that comes to mind! You know what that'll be! I can't help but think though that given the affection he had for you he'd have welcomed you in with open arms!
