We are enjoying the school holidays and we
are having lots of fun! But today is one of those
days when I feel like I am missing something.
It started with having no tea bags this morning
so I missed my wake up cup of tea.
But then I discovered that....
I am missing... really missing....
Alex - My sweet pea has only been home at the weekends for the last 8 weeks. He has Just over 1 more week to go and he will be working locally for a while! I take my hat off to all single parents out there as I am so tired and really feeling him being away! Roll on next week.
The Friday morning girls over at Kristy's! Last time we met Steph made this wonderful lemon cake for us to share. I cut the cake and apparently I gave everyone 'a huge slice'. Amazingly the girls ate up til their plates were clean!
(little note: I did have a brief encounter with Karen in Tesco's today but she elbowed me in the eye at customer services! What are friends for?)
Finally I am missing... Clare, a best friend and cousin. She came with the boys & new baby G last Thursday and popped into see us on the way to Kitty's house for her birthday. She has lived in Bradford for a few years now and we don't often get to meet up because of one thing and another. She goes to a great church - Abundant Life and is the kids pastor there. Oh how I love to see her in God's house, serving, being creative and releasing dreams. The greatness of God shines in her and she is so happy. We went along on Sunday night to the church and Matt (clare's welsh half) sang a song to kinda introduce Rock Nations youth conference that is happening this weekend coming. Oh man the band were playing total rock and there is me crying - he sounded awesome - the Hoops definately rocked for J!
Anyway I'm off to make a cup of tea now that I have some tea bags.
Erm..actually I am not missing them now I have finished typing this post!
Oh, Im so gla that you found your missing tea. I thought I was going to have to send you some!

I hate it if there's no coffee in the morning, I just can't start the day without it.

I feel so sad that Alex has to work away so much, I know the boys must really miss him too. You really made me realise how much I miss out on all the family things, and how i would really love the freedom to see everyone more often.
