Courage

I would really like one of these badges some days or maybe just to get this message to someone in particular who doesn't seem to understand. It is seems it is much easier to make really big interpretations about someone (yep that would be me) based on knowing just a snippet. I like being an independent Mum, it is much easier and harder all rolled into one. There are good parents and not so good parents in relationships and doing it on their own. I do try and get up every morning and do my best.... but maybe it is easier for some not to see that. I read an interview with the maker of these badges and she said that these are her top sellers. I find it a little sad. So I'm not the only one who is a little misunderstood.

On a much nicer note, the girls and I have had a lovely crafty weekend. Lots of bits and pieces made for the upcoming BIDM.

Peace and Happiness

Are you too looking for some peace and happiness in your life.  Take yourself for a peek at Hey Harriet's  TtV (through the view finder) photos in her wonderful etsy shop.  Just amazing. There has been some very recent additions of some fab seagulls that are sure to give you a giggle and take you to sitting on the beach with hot chips burning your lap.  Wish I was there.  I brought the two above photos just before I moved and I adore them.  Hey Harriet explains the whole TtV business better than I ever could so I leave it to you to read. 

Peace and Happiness are two things that seem a little far off for now.  Not enough hours in the day and all that crapola.  Then again compared to many in the world my life is full of peace and happiness.  Just wish my bones didn't ache with the tiredness off it all.  Maybe if I wasn't so stupid and do stupid things like put my coffee cup three quarters full on the uneven part of the lounge I wouldn't have quite as much work to do.  Oh well the stain will probably just blend in to all the others to get the lived in look - right?
