I don't think I've ever eaten birthday cake so early in the morning,

but it was the only time in the day we were all together!

Happy Birthday, sunshine!

life

lately, it feels like life is slipping through my fingers.

all we do around here is work and study.

no time to play or have fun on weekdays!

i still get excited when the time of year for spring bulbs arrives -

i'm a sucker for spring, don't forget-

and i'm over the moon when i get a parcel in the mail,

even if it's something i ordered.

and if you ask my little one, he won't complain for lack of

weekend activities - plays etc.

but a new reality has slowly set in.

i looked at my paperwhite today,

and thought that these should be the last plants i buy for a while.

i smile when i see my extremely cute, yet totally unnecessary, shabby-chic rabbit and mouse toys on my bedside table -yes, i really need to

stay away from etsy.

books and entertainment for my little guy

will be the last fortress to fall,

even if i have to eat pasta and rice every day.

- besides, i love pasta! ;)

oh, well! it's the weekend.

i'm sure i'll find something fun for us to do.

i wish i had more time to blog.

i feel better already.

take care!

big sigh of relief...

thank you all so much for praying along with me.

it means the world to me.

my son is fine now.
he's been operated on to remove a lump on his upper thigh.
we got the biopsy results last night and it's nothing to worry about.
the waiting was killing me!

he was so brave, through all the tests and the surgery!
he's at home now, recovering, enjoying his new toys!

thanks so much for being here!

(ps. what's wrong with blogger? I've written a long post explaining things and sharing feelings and it's all gone! no time to write it all again!)

when you try to pretend you're brave...

...when deep inside you're scared

... and you take all the pressure out

on the one person you shouldn't

... then you know it's high time you cried

and asked for some positive vibes sent your way.

please, hold my son in your thoughts and prayers...

sunday outing



we went to the mountains yesterday;

it was a good, family day

{ a rarity lately }

~~~~~

it's a school holiday today.

son and his friends are playing with his playmobil in his room.

i'm enjoying some me-time;

trying to decide if i pick up a book or a hook-

probably both - not simultaneously!

~~~~~

i've been reading your words, looking at your pictures
but haven't been commenting much
as blogging time is really limited.

~~~~~~
thanks for stopping by!

take care!

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

Why always "not yet"? Do flowers in spring say "not yet"?

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

I've found myself with some priceless me-time this morning and decided

to look back to the year we've left behind.

May you all have Health and Joy in 2012!
