I have been cold allll day and cannot get warm, there is no need for it to be these sub zero temperatures when there is supposed to be a globing warming issue...maybe they could move the ice caps here, that might give them a chance.
so tonights plans are, husband, son and I are all going to cozy up on the air bed and camp downstairs tonight watching predictable movies that you just can't turn off!!!! - good times....it's all about memories for the boy to look back on!!! When I look back on my childhood, for some reason all of my memories are where the sun is bright and I am out playing some game with friends...I think its important for boy to look back on his childhood with heaps of fun memories, not just mummy going off on one because he hasnt eaten his lunch, again.
my question today is, what is your earliest memory and what is your best childhood memory...also was the sun always bright in your memories or is it just me and my cold blood!!

hmmmmm
so a new year and today is the day that things start to get back to "normal". Husband has gone to work for the morning, he is looking after son this afternoon while I go and do a stint at the paid work.
I dont do the paid job on Tuesday and so, with a faint skip in my step, I am really looking forward to tomorrow as i am going to have such a productive day. Today I will get all the house work done and things like that so tomorrow I can really get to grips with my other stuff - like the writing thing.... I am sooo excitied.
Yesterday afternoon, Son and I spend cutting fancy pictures out of magazines and creating a visual experience of what we hope for in 2009....not enough magazines, need more pictures!!! I bought a little miss and a mr men poster to cut up, it was very interesting what son choose for his representation of himself with the mr men!!!! - I will tell you all about it when we are done and the pictures have been stuck down.
thats it for now, maybe more later...
question for today....what are you excited about and (if any) what do you need to do to get prepared???

world news
I read various different news sites as I prefer to get as many different points as possible. I cant say this is one of my favourite past times, but I do think its important. I also look at an American and Australian etc etc site if those at number 10 do a press release for one thing or another, I do this to see what other countries have said about it and their reactions.
Most Journalists try to give a non biased account of events which annoys me slightly, sometimes it would be nice to see how others are reacting to that bit of news.
Sometimes I think that all of the worlds media have got together and said this is what we will be saying about this topic, and they all agree, more or less word for damn word.
As you can tell, this pisses me off as where is the variation.
Not sure where this is going but I felt the need to share!!
And what of the state of the world at the moment...all this Miss Worlds neglected their powers and went against their "i want world peace" speeches at the competitions.
I think some so called leaders all need their bloody heads banging together or shaking and told / shouted at WAKE UP!
aaaahhhhhhhhh - woke up in one this morning, sorry about that.

lazy day results!!
So, after saying that I was feeling rather lazy and that I was going to kick myself up the ass, it turned out to be a fun day!!!
My son has sooo many toys that all we have in the way of space in his room his a clear path to his bed, so I thought about getting a loft bed from a weel known swedish flat pack shop...and off we went. We couldnt find one that we all liked so i decided on the spot that we would re-decorate his room. The favourite colour of my son at the moment is red....blood red...hmmmmmm.
so I got some red bits and bobs to go into his room and I am very pleased with my line of thought as to how the bedroom will look!!!
When my son was born, my father in law very kindly made my son a huge cot, a fantastic peice of woodwork, which was / is big enough for son to still sleep in. Because it is a cot it has high sides, husband came up with a genius idea od literally turning the bed upside down!!! and it work!!! a few modifications are required but we have more storage / shove it in there space and I am very chuffed!!! - saved some money which is not like me at all!!!
On a different note, a friend of mine also keeps a blog, she has made 9 resolutions for 09 and has made a "vision board". This is basically going through magazines, cutting out ones that are insprational towards said resolutions and stick em all down, hang this somewhere personal but prominent and hey presto, fun and a reminder!!! - I think I am going to do with son and see how it goes and that child is not into creative stuff and all and it drives me mad!!!
anyways, I shall let you all know how that goes!!
COMING SOON - PHOTO'S

lazy days
At the moment I am feeling rather lazy and trying to get out of stuff!!!
So I have decided that a quick kick up the ass is in order. I hate the whole lazy can't be bothered feeling and the only way I know how to get out of it is to do some from of excersise, like running round the lounge or dancing like a mad thing with my son.....todays excersise will come in the form of swimming. I say comes in the form of because, although my son can kind of make his way across the pool, I dont think it can be described as "swimming"! also, at our local pool there is a nice big slide, so not that much swimming actually takes place. Today though, husband is coming so that means he can do the slide thing whilst I go and thrash my way up and down the adult pool!!!!
My question for today is...do you ever get cant be bothered days and if so do you get yourself out of it and how or do you just hide under the duvet for the day?!?!?!?

more to do with resolutions
Having wished friends happy new year and talking about a new fresh leaf of a year, we got talking and laughing about New Years resolutions, and it got me thinking......
I googled new years resolutions and in and amongst the crap I tried to find where they began.
At this point I think it would be fair to make my opinion known....I am thinking that a Mr/Mrs Perfect decided that the crap people that they knew should need a kick up the gluteus maximus so came up with an ingenius plan "ah" said perfect "I think I will make them decided what they want to achieve and then make them declare it on the first day of each year, thus setting themselves up for a fall". Lets face it, most of us are expert in the field of procrastination, but having made a New Years resolution, we feel duty bound to comform with the notion that we must carry out this oath of losing weight / quiting smoking / being better at..... but then half way through the first month it all goes a wee bit pair shaped!!!! - madness
So anyway, with this in mind I decided to try and find out where this tradition started, fully expecting it to have started around the 18 hundreds or something... so anyway....and heres the deal.... it all started whey back in the Babylonian period, around 2000BC where their New Years resolution was to give back borrowed items!!!!.
So, in this case, I think it fitting that I continue with this tradition, but maybe add one more Resoltuion and that is not to break my resolutions!!??!!??
So, again, what are your New Years resolutions and I add a further question of, which ones do you fully expect to last and which ones to you kind of think are maybe a bit too much but are willing to give a try anyway??
