Long Overdue...

Okay, okay, okay... So I should have updated this ages ago, but time has not permitted me to do so. So much going on these days.

Work is... well... a long story. :) Not the happiest place to be in the world, but I'm able to pay for what is needed, and right now that's what counts.

Home is coming along slowly but surely. I've got to get my stuff out of storage, which I had a quick peek at yesterday... and it is no small task, let me assure you. There's a hell of a lot more there than I had imagined. I'm just going to have to go one box at a time... which is a good way to do it really. Put, give or throw stuff away as I come across it.

The kids have new wardrobes, so I've got to put those together; I've got to clear out the 'spare room' for my future housemate and just generally start going through all the 'catch-all' areas I've created in the corners of each room. I look forward to finding all my treasures in storage and putting them out/up. Pretty much every room is 'put together' though. There's loads to do, but it's very livable... and comfy.

My parents were out recently and they were able to do a good few jobs that will make all the difference... even the smallest projects are having a huge impact. I wouldn't have gotten round to doing those things on my own, so I'm so grateful they were here to help. I'd say it was their final visit though... they wouldn't be big fans of the long haul travelling. Still it was so nice for them to be able to see where we're at.

I look forward to my niece arriving. I'm REALLY looking forward to it! I just can't wait!!! It'll be so cool to have a blast of high powered energy in the house... and the creativity too... so EXCITED!!!

I'm actually doing quite well... I'm in a very good head space. I'm beyond the despair (not that there was a whole lot anyways) and I'm quite happy in myself. I'm able to spend time with my children everyday, provide for them, pay my bills, sleep at night and enjoy the company of good friends. Life's not too shabby. The ex and I are doing well too. Still no hatred, still very pleasant with each other and very easy to be around each other. I'm so pleased about that.

Last but NEVER least... the smallies. They are, of course, FABULOUS! :) The small man has been sick for the last five days with a tummy bug, so all his spitfire is smoldered, but he's starting to come'round. The little lady is... well... she's just so awesome. She's such a good big sister and has so much love in her that she wants to share with everyone. She's gonna be every one's mammy when she gets older... A nurturing bossy-boots. :) School is finishing up soon... it'll be a challenge to occupy the kids, but their Daddy will be getting out of school too. Between him and the grandparents, the entertainment options should be high. Let's just hope for a decent summer... Last year was diabolical.

Okay... that's it from me for this time. I won't make any promises, but I'll try to add some Blog-fiber into my diet in order to be a bit more regular.
