I say Hooray because 2010 was a hard year indeed. It seemed we were all sick for the whole 12mths with cold after cold and every other horrible infecting virus going around and to add to our misery our damn car broke down 3 times – costing in total $12,000 !!!! Now I know, and I do know, that there is so much worse that could be or happen but still I’m glad to see the back of 2010. Oh and I turned 40 last year…

So welcome 2011, you have made a good start and I thank you!

2011 will be a year of adjustments as we put our twins into prep school. Thomas and Emily are very excited and ready I believe. They will love the days full of stimulation and interaction. It’s been tiring recently to keep them happily occupied with science experiments, books, puzzles and outings and all questions answered. Thankfully they are used to being busy with mind and hands and shouldn’t find school too tiring.

I shall be taking a peaceful month before I begin to contemplate earning some income. A month in which I might find myself again and may or may not regain some sanity. I am seriously considering finding a yoga class. I dream of being a bendy person filling my body with energised oxygenated blood and happy, positive thoughts in mind. Nothing will faze me, I’ll be so at peace with myself and life and all will be… Perfect! Like I said I dream. No, no,no positive thoughts are with me. Life is great and will be greater.

I’m a lucky woman and I mean this most sincerely. The man I love, my husband Andrew, happily moved to this country to begin a life with me 6 years ago – to start a family. We have two healthy, smart, beautiful children who are caring and kind, hilarious and loving. Our family life is a perfect one in which we enjoy each others company, we laugh, we play, we explore the countryside and new things together. We have a lovely home in a nice neighborhood. We have a funny puppy dog called Spot, she’s a big Spot. My husband is forgiving and flexible often waking in our sons bed to find me, Emily, Thomas and Spot in our bed LOL See my life, our lives, are pretty darn good and the sooner the kids start sleeping in their own bed life will be just even better :)
