So we all enjoy a wedding, in fact we love a wedding. The sheer love an happiness makes for a beautiful day every time. I get so excited and look forward to it so much.... The the morning of the wedding arrives, suddenly i remember I have 3 children to get ready and myself.... two girls to do their hair and little 1 year old... well this will be fun, not stressful at all are my thoughts.
Luckily the girls are at the age where they are now quite independent being 5 and 6, so I only really need to do their hair, but this day of all days my little boy was clinging to me, he would not leave me alone even when his dad tried to take him away... i then had to hear him screaming for me whilst I was trying to get ready - doe this effect anyone else? I literally find it the most stressful thing EVER!
So we are ready, we set off, (just over an hour to get there) so the notorious 'are we there yet', the boy crying and screaming (he hates car journeys) gosh how I wish we could just teleport there....
But alas, we made it and with 15 minutes to spare! However there was an infestation of WASPs, oh no my fear was out in full force, and I'm meant to be brave in front of my children so they aren't scared? IMPOSSIBLE, but I tried my hardest and was actually surprisingly brave at points!
A stunning ceremony, then onto the reception after some time for photos, oh gosh the sit down meal and the 1 year old boy - well this should be interesting. He is tired, he's not napped form the excitement of the day.... Yes of course I ended up pacing about with him.... oh the fun to this point.
So my partner was drinking, I was driving and looking after the kids..... is it this way for all of you mums I wonder? There was actual ALOT of free booze, so my partner was erm..... past tipsy! By 10pm I decided enough was enough, it was time to go home..... baby boy asleep, girls tired, partner....well intoxicated and over an hours drive ahead.... lets go.
Get to the car and the key doesn't work.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ok I will put it in the lock and open it normally, i do this and open the door, no interior light comes on... i start to panic. Key in the engine, NOTHING and whole lot of NOTHING. GREAT! tired girls, sleeping baby, I'm freezing and an annoyingly drunk man saying 'Hurry Up' not understanding that the car won't start.....
Luckily i found a mechanic, he jump started the car and boom we could go (after about 45 minutes), when the car was jump started, guess what the lights were on..... my partner 'Oh yeah i put them on when i came back to the car early, I must of forgotten to turn them off'
Wow what a day, a beautiful wedding, with evil WASPs, a fun reception and a broken down car...... some highs of the day and some lows, but you know what - I wouldn't change my kids for the world, how perfect they are they make me stronger every day, they make me proud every day and I love them all dearly.

Prediction of day - FAILED
So furthering from this mornings post, the prediction of the rest of my day has ALREADY failed.... and nothing any of the kids have done...
Remember my partner I mentioned? and how he remained in bed this morning at 4.30am when I got up, as he does most mornings.... well I popped home on my lunch as I always do... and guess what... HE WAS IN BED ASLEEP
Of course I woke him, I asked why he wasn't at work... the answer - because he was tired so he's arranged to go in this afternoon and make up his time.... He's tired? really?
Gosh that feels better to air that and get it off of my chest.... sorry about a second post from today but I did need to rant... I guess as he has had a morning of sleeping tomorrow will be his get up early?

Where to begin...
So I am new to blogging, but it is something I have wanted to do for a while now. I think that this is a great way to unwind and express how you are feeling, to let others know how you cope with your daily struggles and let people in on the funniness of your life...
So I have two beautiful children myself, my partner has one child with me and another child with his ex partner, life is fantastic and we love every second we get with our three beautiful children - however at times, like any children, they can be very testing.
My little boy turned 1 yesterday, he has had a week full of excitement with us being away last week and then his first birthday celebrations, all of this caused at 4.30am start to the day today... 4.30am!!! Does he not realise this is basically the middle of the night?! Oh and how I have to get through the WHOLE day without napping like he gets to... so entertain him from 4.30am, breastfeed, breakfast play time, get ready, get him ready, get him to childcare and get myself to work by 8.30am.... plenty of time as he got me up nice and early of course.... but by the time most people have been up 1-2 hours, I have already done 4.... So here at work with not much to do, I count down until 4pm, the end of my day excited to get home, however I will not be resting of course. I can see it now, leave at 4pm get baby boy, get home, give him dinner, bath him, get him ready for bed, and again another dose of his magic breast milk, then bed for him.... As all of you mum's know you won't get to rest then.... make dinner for my partner and I, sort stuff for the next day, oh and get ready to go and host my FREE running group.... gosh I need determination and energy today, luckily I use supplements to make sure I get what I need and to get me through the day.
Of course, this has been an easier day as my daughter is at her dads and my partners daughter is at her mums, so only had to worry about our baby boy.
Funniest thing is, sitting here reflecting and guessing so far I haven't even realised that from 4.30am until I left at 7.30am, my partner was in bed..... in bed I tell you..... but then I guess I would rather that then deal with the grumpiness form his tiredness later on :-P Please tell me I'm not alone here on this mums. I find as the female species, we get tired, but we continue, we snap at people when we are tired, we apologise we continue, we probably even do this wrong, upset people or are mean when we are tired, but we APOLOGISE and we continue, but when a man is tired its THE END OF THE WORLD is it not? I'm not just referring to my own partner here, he is a fantastic dad, albeit a grumpy one in the mornings or if he is tired... but I mean with MEN in general, around the office, out on a daily basis, you can spot a tired man from 100 miles away.
Despite being a bit tired, I have had a couple of cups of my thermojectic tea and I'm now buzzing with energy and looking forward to the day ahead, and again reflecting, thinking of how strong we are as mums and how we get through our days. I strongly believe you think positively and positive things will happen, stay focused on what you want and always work hard to achieve this, that way you are always one step closer to your goal than you were yesterday.
Mummies be happy, YOU ARE AMAZING
