I have some posts scheduled but I’ll be kinda busy entertaining over the next few days, so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to reply to comments AND visit people’s blogs… alurking I will go!
A friend of ours who we met through the online game World of Warcraft (you know, the one I have a blog for?) almost 3 years ago is finally coming to visit for the first time! It’s going to be so exciting to meet him!
I am heading into Glasgow to pick him up from the airport today… I’m so excited - haven’t been in that lovely city for 3 years now! I am taking my lil camera with me to get snap happy, so you will get pics at some point…
Time to go for the bus… bai for now!

Here are some pics I have fiddled around with a little on photoshop in the past few days.
The first two are pics that my dad took when he and my mum went on holiday last year to the West Coast. I just tweaked the colours to get them to stand out more.
The others I have taken with my new camera and then fiddled about with to get the colours to stand out a lil more, or less!

I get so paranoid about the boys, specifically about Max at night. Whenever he sleeps well (i.e. when I’m not woken by his crying in the morning) I can’t seem to shake the overwhelming urge to check that he’s still breathing. I’m paranoid about cot death.
Realistically I know that he’ll be fine and is most likely past the possibility of leaving us through cot death, but I still worry about it. I did with Zack too, but no where near as much as I do this time around. I’ll have visions of me having to tell people, like the neighbours, my friends, family obviously, and how on earth would I break such a thing to my bloggy friends?
It doesn’t matter how much I try to talk myself out of it, knowing full well that he’ll wake up soon and I’ll wish I could have just slept instead of worrying about him, I just cannot shake the whole idea.
I know I’m not the only one… I’m sure most of us worry about these things don’t we? It scares me to think how easily I could lose one of my little ones through something I couldn’t possibly foresee, something that I couldn’t do anything to prevent.
I should be happy that I am so lucky to have my two boys. Both happy, both healthy and both fun to be with (most of the time!), but instead I find myself worrying about them all too much. There are so many things that could still hurt them, or take them away from me, and it scares me. The thought of my little ones not being here with me, not watching them grow up - or worse, see them grow up to then have them taken away, still too young though…
I guess I just have to keep putting these thoughts to the back of my mind and enjoy the time I have with them, because let’s face it… we never know when our time is up.

Whee it’s my favourite time of week again! Time to show off my weekly winners… some may have been photoshopped as I try to figure it all out >_<
To say Zack was happy to have a box to play with is kind of an understatement…
The only problem was trying to get a picture of him not as a blur!
More fun in the box…
It’s been foggy most mornings but then sunny by, you know, a more human hour to get up at.
He seems to be so hyper these days - I don’t know what’s got into him!
Max has been having fun shaking his feet!
and I finally got some pics of them!
We brought out Zack’s trampoline for a little while…
The boys are getting closer every week
Granny and Grandpa came to visit!
Right, I think you’ll have had quiet enough of me showing off my boys! Time to leave you to it for this week…
Check out Lotus at
Sarcastic Mom for more of this week’s Weekly Winners!
