Well it will soon be the summer holidays (three more weeks at work to go, then 6 weeks off )

Had a good afternoon today, went to Brighton to see the motorbikes.

Hoping things will change for the better in my life soon. Currently feeling a bit like I am banging my head against a brick wall with everything I try to do. Oh well.

Not much else going on at the mo.

Missing my daughter loads. My son is same as ever, lovely, annoying, argumentative, sulky - and he's not gonna hit 13 for another year yet.

Missing my cat still. Will probably get another cat around Easter time.

Life is basically the same as ever. will update my journal next when I have something really exciting to say. LOL.

Daisy my cat was hit by a car on Christmas Day morning and killed.

Completely ruined the feeling of having a good Christmas at last (after about 3 years).

Can't believe she's gone. Miss her so much. Kids devastated as much as me.

Can't say much else and will cry again.

Actually looking forward to Christmas this year. After the last two Christmases (which were crap) this one feels different and so much better.

Just two more weeks at work (woot)- so can't wait.

Loads going on at the moment, and so much to be cheerful, despite these troubled times.

Life is still hard, but not as bad as it was. Just hope nothing changes to make it crap again.

Got a few worries still, but hoping that things won't be so bad.

Saw lots of my family at the weekend which was soooo nice. Love them all, and love to all those that I didn't see too.

Will try and update again real soon. Probably around Christmas.

xxxx

Nearly half term, and dearest daughter coming down for a few days again - woot

Still not finished decorating hall, waiting on being able to buy some ceiling paint. BUT - have painted the front bedroom instead and it looks so much better, just need to move furniture into it and then can decorate back bedroom for Adam. Feeling good about it.

Hoping the credit crunch doesn't affect me anymore than it has, cos things will be really bad if it does, house could have to go ! Which i really don't want.

Oh well the joys of life - the government better sort it out soon for the people rather than just pandering to the banks!

Result - got loads to tomatoes growing, just got to wait for them to ripen. Already eaten some of my home grown courgettes and runnerbeans.

Wow - it was so fab to have my daugher down for a week. Problem now is that i really miss her again now she's gone back. Can't wait till next time.

Extra Wow - Got a boyfriend (lol it sounds so funny saying that at 43)

New Friend - have a new friend in Leicester (met on the single parent website).

Oh dear - decorating hall still (or actually not) lol.

Has it really been that long since my last journal, I had no idea.

Well not much different in life. Still muddling along as before. Been doing some stuff in the garden, and hope to be eating home grown courgettes, runner beans, brocolli, tomatoes and peppers.

Starting decorating the hall - hmmmm that will probably take me another month before I am finished. LOL.

Fab news that my daughter passed her theory today.

Oh and Adam has had his first real on stage acting part. He was one of the evacuue children in the musical BLITZ, which was staged in May by Sussex Musical Productions at the Worthing Pavillion. It was absolutely FAB!

Looking forward to summer hols now, and seeing my darling daughter and having loads of fun fun fun!

Well actually not exactly as I wasn't born till sometime in the evening, but hey who's counting hours when your 43!

Just been to see my 10 year old son playing the tenor horn in the Christmas concert for parents. This was his first concert, and it was FAB

Also he is going to be in the musical 'Blitz' in worthing next year YEAH! This will be his first performance, so fingers crossed with the rehearsals for him.

Keep you updated.

Actually two things almost a year apart, that have turned my life into crap and depression.

Firstly my mum dies, quite unexpectedly and heart breakingly. Leaving me with no one who backs me up and supports me in many ways, more than most will ever know.

Secondly, just when I think someone cannot mess my life up any more, they manage to do just that.
I now have to sell my home that I love as I cannot afford to live here anymore, because my income has now dropped by over £200 a month. Life is crap, I have no food for myself and my son, no money and no life. Can’t pay the bills. I cannot buy another house, so will have to find a rented place. Don’t want to move or go through the hassle of it all.

I hate this situation. I feel so alone and depressed. Quite frankly I really cannot be bothered with the stress of worrying about it anymore. I am just going to let it happen and hopefully come out the other side.

Would like to do so much, but the usual evil of money prevents me. In my dreams life is so different, wish it were a reality. (Or just some of it lol).

Missing my mum so much.

Things around me are going to be changing and I don't know how it's going to work out. Feeling a bit scared by it all.

At the moment I am just hanging on by my little finger. What I need is a major lift back up. Here's hoping something comes along soon before I fall off altogether.

Anyway some things are good, which helps keep you sane!

Hope my next journal is better.

Adopted Daisy today.

She is a beautiful tortoiseshell cat.
See my new avatar pic.

She is from the RSPCA and has had a tough time lately, but now she is with us and we love her.

She is really friendly and inquisitive and gentle.

Although I expect she will have her naughty moments.

Will post some photos soon.

Happiness is here.

Had a pretty grim birthday, but this weekend is much better. Still in the shit money wise, but hey you can't take it with you when you die, so might as well keep spending it now - especially as I need to so we can eat. No spare cash for treats or fun. Oh well hope this skint period passes sometime soon. At least I still have a roof over our heads at the moment.

Love my kids.

Wish this dull grey weather would go away. I need blue skies and sunshine.

Want to go out and do some photography, but I don't know what to do - feeling totally uninspired at the mo.

PROBABLY DUE TO THE DULL DULL DULL WEATHER.

Anyway hope the New Years bring you all good luck.

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Feeling kind of strange about Christmas this year, as it will be very different without my mum around. It is going to be just me and the kids this time. Will probably be quite quiet. Can't afford many presents for them this year, but hope they are happy with the little I have got them.

Iron Maiden concert coming up soon, we are all so excited - just can't wait - it's going to be wicked. Iron Maiden rock.

Happy Christmas to all you peeps out there

Anyway got to try to get back to normality now. Going to work tomorrow - first time in three weeks. Hope I feel OK don't really want to let them down any more.

Just remember all you young people out there - look after your mum and treasure your time with her.

She was always there for me
When I needed to talk

She helped me in so many ways
Supported me through the hardest of times
Always had a smile
Always full of love

I miss her so much
I can't believe what's happened
I don't know what to do
I wish she were still here

]]> ~seadragonia http://seadragonia.deviantart.com/journal/10060476/ http://seadragonia.deviantart.com/journal/10060476/ Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:41:19 PDT I did not mean to make you seem bad
It was only me being tired and stressed
Particularly after the day I had.

I know you don't always know when to help
But any little thoughful thing is good
Just a cheery smile and hug
Instead of just a grunt and a shrug.

You must remember that you are
So wonderful in many other ways
You care for Adam as best you can
And I appreciate it more than I can say.

So let's try to help each other out
And keep our strong friendship going
For a mother and daughter together
Are to each other more caring and knowing.

With love
Mum

Feeling pretty good actually, enjoying life, bit bothered that I cannot afford to build extension on side of house for my mum, who is disabled and elderly, to come and live with me so I can look after her. Feel so sorry for her as she is lonely and she just wants to be with her family and not end up in a home with people she doesn't know. She does not want to be forced to have to be social, it is not her and it makes her unhappy.

Where is the help for where you really need it. It would cost the government less in the long run, if they could only help a bit with the cost, but no they would rather pay for her to stay in a flat.

Wish I could win the lottery for her. It is such a sad thought that the only way I could achieve happiness and security for her is winning the lottery, which I am unlikely to do knowing my luck.

Well I will keep trying to find a way, goodness knows how. If any one has any ideas for me please say, I'm desperate.

Anyway back to the rest of my life which is great at the mo. Looking forward to visiting a new photographic club on Monday eve, hope it's good as I have missed going since moving down here.

Can't think what else to write at mo, so will finish here. ]]> ~seadragonia
