CharlieBeth's "My Life As Mumma Walker"

Jack - 3 years old today. So grown up! Originally uploaded by chiggster My first ickle teenty tiny baby is three years old today. 3... I can't believe it. And doesn't he look so grown up too. I think we've done right by him for his birthday. We had a bit of a party for him on sunday. Jen and Kathy came over with their kids, and the two lads from over the road came too. So our little livingroom was packed out! Snacks and birthday cake, with DVDs to watch and football on the street. The seemed to have a good time. Poor Katie was poorly though with a bug she picked up off her daddy, she had to go home early, but she got a goodie bag to take away with her. But today is his actual birthday do Mummy, Daddy, Birthday Boy Jack and Baby Brother Tom all went to South Lakes Wild Animal Park (Dalton Zoo) for the day. We thought at first that all Jack was going to be impressed with was the ducks, geese and black swans that great you at the gates, knowing you'll have a bag

It's a busy old life here again. Work is a nightmare so I'll keep that short and to the point: we have gone into administration for the second time in less than 2 years, the boss backed his car in to mine (his is a brand new jag.....) and they ARE sending me pack to the parks. So I'm leaving first chance I get. And that's all I have to say about it (or else I'll go in to full on rant mode and that's not why I've logged in tonight). But it's life at home that's keeping me busy and keeping me sane. I love my kids! They make me so happy! Really they do. Jack's tantrums aside, and Tom's bursting in to tears when ever I leave the room.... well that's all par for the course. The good stuff far out weighs the bad. (I still want more kids, so it must be ok, right?) Take today for instance. Mark should have been home today and would have taken Jack to Dads Club while I had some time with just Tom, but some cover work came up and - as always -
