time...

sitting at home watching a DVD

                                                               The girls are at their dads place

I like Tuesdays on my own

                                            most weeks

But then sometimes I miss them 

             so much

They have another home

                                                 Another part of their lives

That I am not a part of

                                and it hurts...

Reflections of what has gone by

                   hope for what is to come

                                        Stuck somewhere in the middle...

like a tug-o-war pulling in   

                                                                     opposite directions

trying to find a balance

                 of what to hold onto and what to let go...

one...                day...                at...                a...                time...

Just a quickie

Just to let you know I haven't gone into hibernation again... my computer has crashed (unfixable!!!!) so I am borrowing Beck's to send a quick post.

The girls are back and had a fantastic time away with their Dad.  I am SO glad to have them home after 3 weeks away.  I was hanging out for a hug from them and was generously rewarded with lots of  hugs at the airport (especially from Coco, at 11 yrs old she missed her mummy).

I am going away for the weekend for my mother's 70th birthday.  What a milestone...  18 years ago she suffered a massive heart attack and died in the ambulance but was revived at hospital.  She then underwent heart bypass surgery 2 years later.   It will be a wonderful celebration for her with family and friends.  The only thing I'm not so sure about is it's a surprise.  I told Dad he'd better stand behind her in case she falls over from the fright!!!

Anyway, it's late and I have to drive 4 hours tomorrow to get to Mum's and 4 hours home again on Sunday so I'm off to bed.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Love Nel xx
