To track or not to track, THAT is the question.

Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh So I am driving myself crazy with guilt and worry what to do about my son's school. I know I want him to go to a different one and the guilt is from leaving it too late to do anything about it probably for this school year. I did apply to one, but chances are slim it seems and the other idea I have is to try a track school. I wonder how many parents think this is a good idea halfway through the LONG summer holidays? I cant be the only one. I think we are both sick of the sight of each other and basically I am just EXHAUSTED. What are your thoughts?

Forgot to mention my monkey got to compete in his first mixed martial arts tournament, but no cages or blood was involved (phew) I think most of the kids at one point ended up crying or making someone cry, I almost lost my voice screaming and Liam got a kick to the face which his instructor thought had knocked out some teeth. Luckily its just that age where they fall out anyway and they were old gaps. He did well, coming 4th and was mighty pleased with his trophy, can you tell?
Been busy buying on Etsy and have to show you all what I got, but first I came across this while searching pounce by gsakowskidesigns

Is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?

No sorry this is.......

Or is it this?
So now I am all peeved with myself now for having a silly spend on some jewelery (which I hardly wear). Trouble is though I have a rather fat neck so maybe I should stay away from drawing attention to it! Oh who am I kidding? It's still going on the xmas list.

Anyway night night, I'll show you the stuff I got next time cos its not half as nice as the scarf's and I'm gonna go sulk a little :)

Whoopsie!

Oh dear, Its been OVER 1 year since I blogged and the cries to call me back were few to say the least. I have dusted off the keyboard and made another new years resolution (even though its now July) that I will blog again!

Things that have happened to me over the past year:

-My operation was a success, 2 disks removed and now 100% fused (yay no more yoda).

-I got a new tattoo which was supposed to represent family blah blah but looks like a ninja star according to my son (who is now 7).

- Went to Las Vegas and a trip home to the UK.

- Lost 10lbs

- Got a treadmill after I lost 10lbs, still at same weight

- Went swimming for the first time in 2 years and didn't drown

- Drink red wine now instead of white

- Slapped my husband around his face in my sleep

- Didn't kill the dog!

So all in all quite eventful.
Things in the shop have been blooming lately, just as my son is off school and keeping me too busy with his boyness. No more monkeys I'm afraid, they just take too darn long and it was getting hard to part with the little guys. Let me show you some of my fav's from the year!

Babushka Love mobile, makes me want a little girl (almost)


Little Gnome called George. I was heartbroken when this guy was sold, but he went to a great gnome lover.

Wish bracelets, that everyone of my friends and kids seem to have and wear. They are such fun!


Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, at least it got me out of watching Van Helsing with the hubby.

I'll be back........... I promise
