Ok, yawn, yawn, heres some pictures of the kitchen ... they are coming tomorrow with my units, so that should be interesting. First one is of my new floor, didn't get my camera charged to show before and after! At the moment the walls are just yucky with everything off and showing the damage from my washing machine leakages over the years and everything has been stripped off the walls, including very sticky wallpaper which was on one wall and the ceiling. I am really pleased with the floor and don't feel so depressed about it all now. I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel. I'll post some more pictures when the units are installed.
Well, we have had a lovely weekend so far. Yesterday we dashed about everywhere. I took Matthew out for yet more shoes (football damaged yet again!) and some more new clothes. He is growing so tall and the inches seem to add every week. At 5pm I had tickets to take them to see the Chuckle Brothers at our local theatre. He is one of their biggest fans and I kept it as a complete surprise from him. I told him we were going there to pick up some tickets for a friend. As per usual, I spent too long shopping and it ended up in a sprint after parking the car to get to the theatre in time. His face was wonderful when he realised he was going to see his idols! I thoroughly enjoyed the boys .. got a bit worried when they ran around with shaving foam on plates and stopped just next to me though but luckily the man behind got it in his face! We got soaked as they kept throwing water over us but it was good, old fashioned slapstick and family fun. We came out of the theatre feeling full of good cheer along with posters and hats! When the little darlings eventually wake up, I'll take a picture of Matthew with his hat.
This week has been quite busy and very disorganised. We can't find anything as the children keep moving the food stuff around and the poor cat had dog food one night for his dinner. The cat is loving the new washing machine, which is in the living room (plus the tumble drier and freezer .... oooooh) - its his new bed as he loves to lie on it. Hopefully, his new bed will be installed in its rightful position in the next few days.
I have been thinking of Jeanette this week, especially on Friday when she had her operation. I hope all went well for her. It takes me back to when my sisters went through their operations and all the stress and worry we had then. The drugs they have now are even better and I am impressed how quickly Jeanette has been seen and how quickly action has been taken.
A terrible thing happened this week. One of my friends at work lost her little nephew aged only 18 months after he fell out of a third floor window whilst on holiday in Morocco visiting family. Apparently his mother didn't even realise until she heard screaming outside. Its so awful, what a terrible tragedy. How do you carry on after that. Apparently, his mother and father were admitted to hospital as they were so agitated and inconsolable. Please say a prayer for them.
Events like this make me contemplate life. My thought for the day is make the most of every moment, as it will never come again.
I do wish every one a happy mother's day ... not you Gaz or Jim!
Hugs

I do love your new kitchen floor and will look forward to updates as you add them. Your mention of new shoes and growing boys brought a smile this morning as I thought back to my 2nd youngest son, he didn't stop growing until he was in college at about the age of 21 . Hope you had a Happy Mothers Day and yes, I will pray for your friends. We all should celebrate each day we are given.
'On Ya' - ma

Oh that must be awful how do you cope with such a tragedy. Cant wait to see the next instalment of your kitchen!! Love Laine xxx
I remember when Jeannette was publishing photos of her remodeling job. Her daughter can certainly write well, too. I thought she did a very good job of reporting on her mom's operation. I am so glad you decided to write again. I guess the remodeling job has kept you preoccupied as they re sometimes wont to do. My mother's second hsuband called her the remodeling queen! But I don't seem to have that in my blood. I was so so sorry to hear about your friends' loss of their child on a trip no less. I remember my cousin who had been ill got out because he was feeling nauseous on a trip, and he fell over the side of an abyss leaving 9 children fatherless! Gerry
