Having a bad week

Its been one of them weeks that I call bad, having a had a few low days and just wanting to have a bit of time out is hard, but thanks to my parents for helping me out this week.
I have also started another session of counselling to help with the panic attacks and anxiety, but no help with depression.
I was having a good Day on Thursday so i decided to take little man for his hair cut, after the last time i was not looking forward to it, but we decided to try another barber this one was headcase in Blyth and i have to say a big up to them as there was no tears and tantrums.

Glorious Sunshine & Homemade Quiche





Who would believe we are nearly into September and we are still having fabulous hot weather.
My little man is loving being out in his shorts and t-shirts and just generally running round the gardens chasing the dogs and generally getting into mischief as little boys do.
I was feeling pretty domesticated today and decided to bake some quiches with bits and bobs i had left in the fridge, so there was onions, cheese, leeks cream cheese and bacon and hey it was really tasty even the little man enjoyed it.

Potty Training Tip

Jacks Beach Adventure

As its been a glorious day I took my little man down to the beach (anything to do with water he loves). So off we went armed with a bucket and spade (and all the other items that a 21 month old needs).
As soon as he saw the water he was jumping round like a little spring so as I turned my jeans up and armed with a fishing net off we went for a rock pool hunt.
Jack was in his element looking at the shells seaweed etc, we came across a good sized crab and being as inquisitive as he is picked the crab up by the nippers my heart was in my mouth as i thought the crab would nip, but jack decided he'd had enough of that and threw him in his bucket (along with a few shells and stones). We found starfish and a few other things, before the tide got the better of us so we headed up on to the stone beach where jack thought we must have been in maka packas (in the night garden) world, he was picking up stone after stone and putting them in our bag to take home. When we got home he decided to get the bar of soap and a sponge and wash them (thanks to the above mentioned programme for this). On another note it is good to take my son out and about to see and do the things Iwas younger as this doesn't seem to happen much now.
