And relax, again

So, we decided that the job, however lovely looking was essentially the same as the last job but full time and further away. Fortunately I managed to pursuade Ed that it was probably not the smartest move ever and he has left it.

Which leaves us with very little income. But happy. Hopefully.

It also leaves me in the same position I was in the last time I thought about my life, which is working hard, feeling more than slightly overstretched and worried that I am not doing my most important job as mother as well as I should but with fewer options that before.

Which means only one thing.

Shut up and stop whinging.

So I will!

Half term has arrived so we all have a week off school.

With any luck the snow will melt and spring will arrive. Again. Seeing as it started early and got killed off by a freezing cold week or two.

sorta off topic, but I love the term "whinging". It's uniquely UK. . . we don't say it at all in the States. And before I read Harry Potter "Little Whinging" I had no idea what it was or meant.

What do you do instead of whinging then? You should try it. Most satisfying, especially when you get the tone right and you can see someone cringing with discomfort at the shrillness and never-ending monotony of your whinging voice. Aaahh! Yes, it is something we do very well over here! Maybe it's the weather.....

Hooray! I am so happy that you are happy again! :) We will keep praying that it keeps working and that Ed feels better!
