Flying Solo .....

Well my nest is empty again! It's soo quiet it's like a ghost ship and I don't like it one bit! As Murray is away back to Egypt and mum is in Ireland at a funeral, LeeAnn is in Ireland (Nor'n) for a piss up and I'm left here all alone. Booo! :(

I thought I would be feeling sad, lonely and bored .......... but I'm NOT!!!!! As, my gorgeous Baby Joe decided this morning to learn to crawl, pull himself up on the furniture and stand!!! Wey hey!!!!!!!!! (I'm shattered!)

I am so proud of him, he is so pleased with himself and is trying so hard, that i think i might just burst! He just melts my heart!

I'll put up another post with pictures once i get onto the bigger laptop this notebook thingy hasnt got any on it!

much love xxxxx

WELCOME 2011 ... DO COME ON IN!!!!!

My goodness it's finally here! A brand new shiney sparkling and fresh start ..... 2011 I am hoping will have all my hopes and dreams hidden away - just waiting to be unwrapped and explored!

I don't think anyone could understand the emotional rollercoaster that 2010 was for me to deal with. I really just scraped through it by the skin of my teeth, and I'm still more than a little bruised and battered from it all.

One thing for sure, sitting night after night, here alone, is that it made me realise is the people that I can count on and who matter. I have had my eyes opened up to so many things, that I've decided that this is going to be our year as a family of 3 - starting our own wee traditions, setting our own mark on the world and it's going to be a big break away aswell!

I am both really scared and excited for our move away, Spain is hardly the end of the earth away but it means leaving my lovely mum - who is just a complete angel. I love her so much and I feel like I'll be missing out on precious time with her when we move, as everyone knows that life is all too short and dissappears way to fast, and its scary! I know I'm 31 but I just love being with and spending time with her and with Joseph as he just adores her!

But it's something we've always talked about doing and we've now got a chance to go ..... so once the house eventually sells - then it's bon voyage ...... Gulp!!

So in true Sarah style - I'd better get my ass into gear and stop being an ostrich - deal with all the stupid paperwork left over from the business and get fit, as I don't want to be bogged down by horrible things to do all year as I want to enjoy every second of all the exciting day to day things with my beautiful bambino - now that I can do whenever I want, without having to be appart from him and work anymore - and I need to be bikini ready for Almunecar!!! wooop wooo!!!!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS (may be ammended as the year progresses!)

1 Get Fit - get off my ass (I need to do more exercise than just the housework!)
2 Go to bed early ....... to get up early!
3 Empty all the attic stuff we have stashed in everybody else's!!! Pack for Spain!
4 Clean my lovely neglected car more often
5 Get back into doing my weekly beauty routine
6 Make an effort to meet new people and go to toddlers stuff with Joe
7 Stop being an emotional doormat - stand up for myself when things are unfair
8 Get out more with the new people I meet as i'm bored
9 Keep all Joe's milestones up to date and recorded in his book ....
10 Actually start writing up Joe's book and print out the pictures!

So fingers crossed this coldy flu thing that I have - or the scary croup thing that jospeh has(resulting in yet another trip to out of hours up at the hospital!) dissappears fast and we are both bouncing, ready and raring to go for daddy coming home in 3 sleeps - yaaaaaay! Where we can spend some time together as a family and also as me and Murray and have ourselves a late merry christmas, using up all the tasty goodies that I got in for visitors that never came and were never used and I might get a night out or two and some fun as i've had more than enough of being on my own, totally alone, which has been a shit end to quite a crappy year.

But this is a brand new year and i'm going to embrace all it holds! I can't believe how big my baby Joseph is getting (he's going to get a whole post to himself for all the goss!) I'm so pleased me and Mur are closer than ever and about to embark on our biggest year yet and I'm jut so excited that i'm going to have some fun again! :-) In a different way, doing different things - but with my beautiful people who live with me and who I love with all my being and all that I am - in my House of Hughes xxxxxxx

Happy New Year to you all and I hope that 2011 is a fabulouso one for you all - I sure as hell plan to enjoy it! xxxxx

Mwah, much love xxxxxxxxx
