Alopecia.

Give me my hair back please - I

want to wear it up!

I know I’m much luckier than some who have this, but still - ARGH! I tend to only get it when I’m stressed, and I had noticed at the start of the year it was coming back. Normally it’d have started growing back by now but that seems not to be the case. Grr!

So last week I posted my 13 things I loved about boarding school, and I thought I’d better take off the sugar coating for this week and reveal the things I didn’t like so much…

  1. Being away from my parents was hard. VERY hard. I’ve always been so close to my mum so being away from her was very difficult for me.
  2. The cafeteria food… ICK!!!
  3. Having to get letters from my parents AND a friend’s parent for the Housemistress if I wanted to stay at said friend’s house.
  4. Couldn’t just go out in the evenings for a drink once I was 18. Fair enough when I was underage, but I mean come on, I wasn’t even allowed out to celebrate my 18th birthday with any friends because it was a frickin school night! [They did have a lil party for me and even bought in some cheap champagne so I really shouldn't complain, but it just wasn't what I wanted to do at the time!]
  5. Being forced to go to church every week even though I have never been remotely religious.
  6. Sometimes there was just too much going on at once for my liking!
  7. Packed lunches (can I get a EWWWWW!)
  8. Racing for a shower in the morning. (4 showers between 22 girls = not fun!)
  9. Having to live with someone who was a thief among other things. Not fun when I had to deal with her being the head of house in my last year!
  10. There were a lot of cliques in the first school I went to because they’d all been together since they were about 11 years old. That was pretty difficult to break into, and I was only just starting to when they announced the school’s impending closure (just 3 months before it was to happen).
  11. I never got used to taking care of myself or helping out around the house when I was away - everything was done for us. That was kinda difficult… going to uni having no idea how to cook any proper meals etc, how to use a washing machine. It sounds so stupid but I didn’t have a clue!
  12. Having to watch what I said ALL the time in case the younger ones overheard.
  13. Not having any real privacy.

All the kids that is, well.. new to them ;)

we finally managed to put the finishing touches on changing the spare/junk room into Zack’s Big Boy Room today, so Zack has been sleeping in his new bed - so far I haven’t heard a peep and he went to bed 3 hours ago…

Quite a difference as you can see…!

So we (mainly J) are tired, and *hoping* for a peaceful night with Zack in his big boy bed for the first time - can anyone hear the hysterics? No? Great… the padding worked well then! :D

Also… here are some pics of the boys -

I’m trying to catch up with the housework after having our friend to stay, and I seem to have run dry on things to say… not that I have much to say to begin with, but you get what I mean, right?

I couldn’t believe it today though - woke up to sunny skies and a warm house, with NO heating on! Typical that the whole time Nosey (Tim) was here it was grey, wet and yucky. I reckon he brought it with him… ;)
So yeah, I’m talking about the weather - I suck right? Well, J may disagree with that though (ahem, totally different post there!).

It’s a pretty, sunny day and all I want to do is go back to bed. I don’t wanna do the ton of laundry, I don’t want to run around after the boys all day, I don’t wanna go outside. I just want to go back to bed. I guess you could say I’m having an off day *sigh*. At least these are few and far between now huh?

I *should* get off my ass and do my chores. I will, I will… later. What I’m gonna do for now is play with the boys, cuz even though I don’t really WANT to right now, I know I’ll enjoy it once I’m taking part!

DSC_0068.jpg
Edit: Oh apparently we’re going for a walk. Maybe I can get J to take the boys and leave me here? Then again, it will be good for me to get some fresh air, off we go…

First off, I wanted to give Lotus a hug, but since she’s so far away, I’m gonna dedicate this week’s winners to her. Lots of love honey xx

For Lotus

Zack decided he wanted to be Baby Zack this week… the boy has NEVER sucked his thumb before in his life!

I took some picks on the way to pick up our friend from the airport.

Waiting for the train…

At the bus station…

A rainy day in Glasgow…

Max adored his new ‘Uncle Nosey’

DSC_0001.JPG

We took him to see our city centre.

Zack was happy to be let loose for a while!

DSC_0005.JPG

Lots of places to run around!

DSC_0025.JPG

Especially when you’ve got someone to play with!

DSC_0100.JPG

These two had lots of fun - it scared me how alike they are!

DSC_0177.JPG

Even in real life they tried dueling each other!

DSC_0194.JPG

Uhh… who do you think won?

DSC_0202.JPG

On Saturday we even went Bowling for the first time with Zack!

DSC_0007.JPG

I was beaten by my 2 year old son *sigh*

DSC_0045.JPG

(That was AFTER I bowled my ball… see it in the side?)

Obviously the stress was intense for Zack…

DSC_0104.JPG

But he got over it! (Unlike daddy! >_< )

DSC_0162.JPG

All in all it was a great time :) I was pretty sad to see Tim go (/poke!! :P ), but I think he’ll come back sometime… Zack loved the thought of him being up in the air in a plane! I *think* he understands that’s him gone for a while. We shall see tomorrow morning I suppose!

If you liked these pics then head on over to Lotus at Sarcastic Mom to see some more, and make sure you bring lots of love and hugs for her too!

Zack and Nosey.jpg
These two have been having some fun times over the past few days! Tim’s visit has been a long time coming - we initially met almost 3 years ago on Warcraft, and he, J and I have been friends ever since! He’s known us from being new parents to Zack, so it’s great for us to finally meet him! Zack has absolutely loved having “Nosey” (his nickname on the game) around and won’t leave him alone! I don’t think he minds though…
Oh and btw… if you click on the picture then a fancy lil lightbox-effect thingy should come up - oooh shiny! ;)
