If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The munchkin had a wonderful time with Granny at the start of the week. She’s always loved Mum and been excited to see her when we go and stay and wasn’t phased at all when we told her that [...]

I’ve been doing a bit of thinking lately. I’ve been really struggling to cope with Mr H’s job situation. But why is it affecting me so much? I was in tears this morning over it.

Is it that I’m such a control freak that I just need to know what’s going on?
Is it that the uncertainty [...]

Still no photos, no post for over a week and no comments on other blogs (actually scrub that…I’ve not even made it to other blogs!).
The stress of Mr H’s work (and the indecision regarding his team’s future) is making life a little difficult here at the moment. We were plodding along, coping, until last Sunday [...]

Mr H’s commute to work today entails leaving home at 7:15 driving to the nearest office (not the one he usually works at) to pick up a colleague, driving on to the airport, parking up, bussing to the check in and then a flight to Dublin before picking up a hire car and driving to a [...]

…I can give you the news I’ve been sitting on for the last two weeks.
Mr H is going to be staying with his current company for at least the next 11 months, working on something new which hopefully will succeed and mean he won’t be made redundant this time next year.
The email went out yesterday which [...]

That’s what I’m trying to bear in mind as we fight off a nasty cold in the H house. I started feeling rough on Friday with the cold hitting with full force on Saturday. The munchkin, while not as bunged up and hoarse as I am, is definitely off colour and waking in the night [...]

 
Some winter pros and cons:
+ Beautiful frosty scenary
- Very cold fingers when I try and photograph it
+ Spider’s webs look amazing
- They’re mainly at the back of the house which is where the sun is all day so they melt quickly
+ The munchkin looks gorgeous all wrapped up in her big coat, hat and gloves
- [...]

And I’m definitely ready for a quiet(ish) weekend. It’ll be nice to be at home and have Mr H here all day too. R moves out tonight (though may have to finish moving a few boxes tomorrow), so it really will be a weekend to ourselves. However, it’s the children’s nativity service at church on [...]

The weekend at Mum and Dad’s flew by. We had a lovely time though the munchkin didn’t sleep brilliantly (though she did the night we spent at the Christmas party) so we’ve come home quite tired.
I posted my ornament for Julie’s ornament exchange on Monday while we were there so now I’m going to be [...]

Well, Mr H’s interview yesterday didn’t go too well. They were looking for a more academic engineer than Mr H (he’s very practical and hands on). We weren’t expecting too much from this interview anyway as it was for a principal role, and Mr H is still very young and rather inexperienced for something like it.
