I'ts been a while

It has been a while since I've actually sat down and had the inclination to write.  Even now, I'm not quite sure I have anything I specifically want or need to write about.

Life is happening - moving on - changing - fluid.  It is early morning here - I can hear the baby just starting to burble (if that is a word), and behind me, the early early bird is playing with his trucks.  In a second I will go and put the jug on, make a coffee and some breakfast for the rest of the family.  But for now, it is still.

I want this to remain a positive space.  There is so much negativity and focusing on the problems in our lives, that I don't want to speak them forth - rather I wish to speak forth the blessings that I know God has in store for our lives.  He knows the plans he has for us, plans for good and not for evil.

I'm having a nosy around this blog here: maybe more on that another day.

Right ... off to make the coffee .... blessings dear ones - maybe more another day.

Midnight Hours

According to my kitchen clock it is 0:38am.  I'm sitting here, giving it another ten minutes before I get comfy in bed again.  Just to make sure that baby girl is really and truly asleep.  We've got visitors staying with us, and while I'm not usually the CIO type anyways - because then we get the rest of the kidlets waking - so it's walk and rock and cuddle and snuggles.  I admit, I did (am?) grumble and growl abit ... but the more I think about it - she wants her Mama - and for the most part I'm ok with that .... right .... that was six minutes .... off to rock and cuddle some more - might be time for a different strategy and pop her into bed with me?  What do you do in these situations if you have a wee one .... if you don't have wee ones - what's your best fall back asleep technique for yourself in the middle of the night because now I'm wide awake :-)  Wonder if I should tackle the ironing?  That's a noiseless chore ....
