Thursday has rolled around again, I’m not sure why this year seems to be going past in a whirl but it’s ok, that’s life I suppose. You just have to embrace every day and take what you can from it.
Last week saw my girls starting secondary school
and I’m pleased to report that a week later they are still dead happy and
loving being at big school. I think they’ve still being lulled into a false
sense of security at the moment as they haven’t had much homework yet, but they
are more than ready for the change.
Both of them have been talking about a new
friend each, so I pray that those friendships grow and I’ve said to the girls
they can have their friends over for dinner when they fancy. They also start at
our church youth club this Friday and I hope that will be a place where they
have fun and grow in their faith.
JJ has settled happily back to school. He was
straight into loads of homework, I suppose they are establishing the
expectations with him being a year 10 and starting his GCSEs. He’s gone back to
police cadets, which he loves and he also joins the adventure in creation stream
of our volunteer programme that is run where we live. I’m hoping he has lots of
fun doing this and establishes some new friendships.
I’ve enjoyed the kids being back to school.
Routine really works for me and it’s been great to get back into work. I’ve
also volunteered to help on reception whilst they are short, so I’ve got to
refresh my knowledge as I haven’t done that for a good year.
Last week I started Slimming World as it’s time
to get a grip and help myself. I’ve been feeling more and more pain in my feet
and legs, to the point that standing and walking are difficult at times and
that’s not right. I’m 45, not 85! I was very pleased to lose 5.5lb in the first
week by making lots of good swaps, and I didn’t feel hungry or deprived at all.
I hope your week has been a good one and even if
it couldn’t be described as good I hope you can find those glimmers of hope.
All is not lost. Be blessed friend. Mich x
