Why is it all so hard sometimes?

So I have been in a big stinky grumpy mood for weeks now and I just can't seem to lift myself out of it, which is not like me at all. It seems that everything around me depends on me to hold it all together, that everything seems to be such a struggle, that there is never time for the fun stuff anymore. Work is really busy and taking a lot of my energy, Ayesh is a typical vivacious 5 year old that doesn't have an off switch, or a quiet one. And to be honest I wouldn't have her any other way. Dear non-hubby is busy busy busy as he is off to Beijing in 4 weeks. Im going to miss him soo much as he's gone for 6 weeks!! 6 weeks!! Crikey, thats a long time. Gulp. I guess its a culmination of all the little things chucked together with the winter blues. I haven't even had time or head space to be arty and that annoys me too. Boo hoo.

I know that my life is very blessed and that there are kazillions of people in this world who have it a lot tougher than I do, but this is my blog and I can be all woe is me if I want to!!!

New dress

Do you like my new dress?? Isn't it pretty! My friend Sharon had a link on her blog with freebie blog templates and this one kinda took my fancy. The only prob was that I lost all my blog links so I have spent the last hour or so trawling through my faves to add them here, hopefully I have them all now.

Will post some more in the next couple of days, been a few things happening in my world, some good, some bad.

Sweet dreams for now xxx

Random pics

Just cos I can and I promised to post some of Ayesha's birthday party pics.

Mothers Day....slightly delayed

I had the most beautiful mothers day this year, absolutely perfect in every way. I was woken to lots of cuddles and kisses and exclamations of "mum, mum its a special day just for you!" Bliss. I was well and truly spoilt with lovely gifts made by Ayesh and bought from the stall at school and Nick had me in tears and tears with his gift. He made me a photo book of pics of Ayesh and I and its all about why she loved her mummy. Now for those of you who know me, I cry at the drop of a hat, happy tears sad tears, any tears really. This book had me sobbing from the second I opened the page and realised what he had made me. I truly am very lucky to have 2 people who love me very much - for all my good bits and not so good bits. So after my big tear and sook fest we headed to one of my fave places - the Dandenongs - Olinda and Sassafras. We walked around and noodled in the many little shops that are there sipping delicious Lindt Hot chocolates and eating toasted marshmallows. A blissfully happy day, feeling the love.

I hope that all the mums out there in blog land had a wonderful day
