Summer Holidays

Well the summer holidays are upon us and don't i know it.

'A' has been acting up the past two nights, not wanting to go to sleep and i'm finding her quite hard work at the moment. Plus both the girls and fighting quitw alot during the day.

Been trying to think of things to do during the holidays and i have signed 'A'  up for the Summer Holiday Reading Challenge so that is one thing :o)

Might take the kids to the park and farm tomorrow, just need to make time to do some housework as i have been quite lazy this weekend and it's piling up.

Well thought i'd better post something and this is better than nothing.....won't leave it so long next time

Bye for now :o)

Five things i want to do this Summer

This is my first Listography which is from Reluctant Housedad.

I don't have any pics to add to this so just words from me lol

1. Spend more time playing with my children.
I don't spend enough time actually playing and enjoying being with my children, so the plan is to go out as much as possible when the weather is good and and find things to do in the house with them when the weather isn't too great.

2. Cook more
I am not really a keen cook even though my partner is a Chef. So i am going to find some recipes that i think we will like and get cooking :) Might even let them help hehe

3. Take my children swimming
The only time i have taken the kids swimming is when we went on holiday last year.
I can't really take both at the same time so going to have to take it in turns with them when Mark has a day off.

4. Get the house organised
I have never had any motivation to get the house organised but i would like so get into some routine. So i'm going to start making lists of what needs to be done on each day and crossing it off when it's done.

5. Try and do some exercise and eat more healthy.
Ever since about Easter time my eating habits have gone down hill and i've put on about a stone, so i would like to get back on the Wii or a excerise DVD and start exercising again and not eating as much crap as i have been. Just got to find time to do the exercising.hhhmmmmm

Well thats me done :)

1st post

Well i thought i'd better start posting on here as i haven't since setting up my account a while ago.
I am Gemma, 28 and my family consists of my partner, Mark, our 2 daughters who i will call A and I and our cat called Pepper.
I have suffered with depression since i was 18 and sadly lost my mum 3 years ago, who was my best friend. I am currently a stay at home mum but looking to start working part time in the very near future.

I don't really have a specific thing i'm going to blog about, just everyday life really :)
