Exactly that, I'm always on the go with so much to do but I really am trying so hard to make time... I need to do this for me too, but hey you can't have it all can you?!
I'm currently sat in Belle Hair & Beauty (it's 9:25) waiting for my eyelash tint & eyebrow wax... Amazingly I was early, although the morning has not been that plain sailing at all!!!
I had a rather stressful morning before school, my eldest has High-functioning ASD/Asperger's & can have challenging behavior at times... This morning was no exception:
He took almost an hour to get out of bed, then refused to get dressed as didn't want to go to breakfast club, making the girls late in the process, he continued to argue/back chat about random unimportant things before school & then spent forever cleaning his teeth, getting his shoes, searching for his pe trainers (which were at school) etc, etc, thus making us a few minutes delayed!
I had to walk him to his class door so he could find his trainers, which was making me have less time so no time for breakfast - thankfully Dunk had made me a coffee before he left for work, which I drank taking the girls to breakfast club... Must've looked odd walking up n down the road with my mug, but I wasn't going to not drink it!
Now I'm making time to blog as & when I can, so much so that's why I started this awaiting my beauty treatments - the joys of the blogger app on my phone! Gotta love it, eh?!
Albeit the time is now 2:17pm, so out with the laptop to try & get another blog or 2 done before school... Got 2 loads washing done & another to do, also the children have haircuts straight after school & Cameron has netball! Chloe (hairdresser) is not coming till 3:30 & netball ends 4:15, let's hope traffic is bad as girls just need a trim... Lol
NB/ 11-05-12: Note to self..... Don't start a blog on your phone app & then publish from your laptop - why? It is still saved on phone as a draft, which confuses the hell out of you if you don't manage to blog frequently! Lol

Blog-tastic!!!
As the title suggests I am a little excited about 'blogging' at the moment...
I can blog on the PC, the laptop, my iPod touch & my HTC Sensation XL, it's a bloggers dream!!! Although I still don't have the time to actually blog as much as I want to, there's always 'work' to be done, there's housework, chores, children, meals & all the other little menial tasks one incurs throughout day to day life when you are a SAHM - never-ending & the time just flies so quickly while the children are at school, you just can't get it all done & still have time for you! Well, I can't manage it - maybe I am doing something wrong?!
So whats all the fuss about then? I just love writing about anything & everything, I think I am quite creative in my writing too (but maybe I am not, who know's - maybe some comments at the end of this blog could help me verify this?) - I have a few blogs of my own including this one that I write, the 2nd blog I write alongside this is really about my cakes: *So·phis·ti·cakez! & then there is a new blog I recently started up due to some random Facebook status's that I used to put up (& sometimes occasionally still do) about Fairyland: *•°*˜☽ ☆ Sparkle 'n' Shine ☆ ☾˜*°• - I did start up a blog for my hubby's discos/karaokes, but I am not so good at up-dating that: Big Fun Entertainment Blog Spot... Perhaps I should up-date this one soon?!
I also follow a fair few blogs too (20 in total, I think that is more than enough (good job some don't post too often hey?!)), some local, some further afield - my personal favourites though are these: *Bicester Blogger (Jason (bestie) of course yours is in the top spot), Cook Along Kids (Chef Paul, I love the concept of this & the blog is great, I look forward to stage 2 where both Cameron & Hermione can sign up for more exciting cookery classes with you), Literacy Stuff (Mr Hill (our school's headmaster) set this blog up for when children are off school sick - great idea) & last but not least Laura's (Former) Expat Adventures (Laura, I miss you & really wish you would start blogging again (great to see all your updates on FB, but it's not the same)).
Recommended reading are any blogs that I have put a * before the link, don't get me wrong they're all great links, but some need updating & the others are very specific, but I like them as I have a connection with them through my hubby, children & the children's school. But hey, if you have the time do look at all of them - I just don't have the time (most of the time, although sometimes I do get the time) Lol!
Well on that note & talking of time, I had best make a start on the children's dinner, as I have said it's never-ending here & there's always something to do!
Have a great weekend whatever you may be doing, let's just hope the weather improves so we're not all like drowned rats - it's been absolutely awful here in Oxfordshire for what seems like forever... Rain, rain go away now - PLEASE!!!!!

Following on...
Now, as I sit at my own laptop to type up some of the blogs stored in my head (that is about to overflow from countless blogs taking up space amongst all the other bits of information a mum has to try & remember) yet another idea & blog has popped into my mind...
But on with this blog I am about to write. As the title suggests I am about to follow on from something previously written, in fact this is following on from the blog I wrote this morning: No photos..., but also could also be following on from a blog I wrote in December: Photos, photos, photos...
I am a bit of a photo fanatic & love to take photos everywhere, I think maybe I'd like to develop my photography skills a little so that I can take even more shots. Until then I have discovered a fabulous little app that is available on both my iPod touch & as it's an Android app too, I can use it on my HTC phone also - it's called 'Instagram'
I absolutely love it & have 91 photos in my Instagram album in exactly a week... it's sooooooooooo easy to use, take a picture either on your iPod touch (or iPhone) or your phone (Android compliant) then open the app & import the picture that you wish to use or you can take a picture via the app itself, then you can edit it in a flash (unless you just want to use the original)...
Various filters such as: Amaro, Rise, Hudson, Sierra, X-Pro, Lo-Fi, Earlybird, Sutro, Toaster, brannon, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Valencia, Nashville, 1977 & Kelvin instantly transform your picture, add a frame, pick out more detail it's just a fab little app & even if you're not a photographer this app can make you look more of a photographer - it's great!!!
Here's a few of my favourite pictures that I have put through the app

Friday 13th... Superstition or something more?!
Now I've always been in two minds about superstition. There are lots of weird & wonderful old wives tales & sayings about what you should & shouldn't do in certain circumstances, for example here's a few that spring to my mind:
1) Break a mirror = 7 years bad luck
2) Salute a singular magpie = Avoids bad luck/news
3) See a black cat = Good luck
4) Walking under a ladder = Bad luck
5) Crossing paths on stairs = Unlucky
6) Finding a four leaf clover = Good luck/fortune
7) Never shun a gypsy = They'll curse you
8) Throw salt over shoulder = Good luck
9) Rabbits foot = Good luck
10) Find a penny = Brings good luck
But today being Friday the 13th January, I have had my fair share of what some may say is ill fate or is it just circumstantial?! Here follows the 'Bad Luck' I have received so far today...
1) Pebbles is sick on the sofa & a cushion - So that has to be stripped & washed (the lovely hubby stripped it for me, so that was a stroke of good luck)
2) Oliver or Colin caught a pigeon & left feathers all over the garage - Need to pick all the bird debris up!
3) Forgot to take Anneliese's cooking money into school - Twice today (morning drop off & afternoon pick up... that will have to go in on Monday now)
4) Went to post a parcel (in same packaging it came in) back to supplier via recorded (the same way it arrived) - Was told the price, then asked to measure package only to be told it was too big to go recorded & would have to go Parcel Force at nearly £12 or Standard Parcel at £4.41 when it originally only cost £4.29 for recorded delivery when ordered
5) Went to PO straight from school & came home - Had to go back to Boots & Tesco as forgot
6) Go to Boots - Forget something I need to buy
7) Went on yet a third trip to town to M&S - Still forgot to go back to Boots!
8) Try to call the supplier who I sent the package back to - Just get answer machine
9) Try to log in my email to see if they've responded to my email sent first thing - I've been blocked due to being hacked!!!
10) Can't bloody type - Keep making major typo errors?! (this is soooooo unlike me & I have had to correct everything a million times before posting)
Now I know these are all little trivial things, but seriously how can so many things happen in just half a day?! No doubt there's more to come given the course of events over the day so far, but I will not let it get the better of me.
Do I believe in superstition??? Yes & No, there's certain things I do without fail: I always salute singular magpies, I pick up pennies I find, I cross my fingers, I blow candles out on birthday cakes, I have a lucky pig... there are various other quirky things that I inadvertently do without even thinking about it & there are some things I think really?!? So I don't worry about crossing people on stairs or walking under ladders etc - after today maybe I should???
Just a few moments ago another bit of ill fate happened to me... the phone rang, my brother went to grab it for me & then dropped it on the laptop thus shutting it down mid-blog - I then had to restart laptop as it said hadn't been shut down properly & then Google chrome had to restore the web page, by a sheer stroke of luck, the majority of the blog was still as I'd left it... Thanks Blogger =)
Right, let's see if I can actually cook the dinner without something going terribly wrong - I am glad I had no cakes to cook or decorate today & I only have to avoid two more Friday 13th's this year - so don't expect to find me in April or July on Friday 13th as I will be hiding after today's antics!!!

A festoon of festivities
A little later than I would've liked to blog about the festive period, but as I have not had that much laptop time since the event I had to wait until I could sit down & blog properly, with some good tunes playing & the ability to upload pictures from my camera onto my blog!
Here's a festoon of festivities, it all started for me really on Wednesday 21st December... Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve!!! Lol
So what happened I bet you're all wondering?! Let me reveal an incite into my little magical world of festive bliss =)
(thank the stars for my constant FB status's as my memory isn't what it was 10 years ago)
I changed my hair colour on Wednesday 21st, now I normally go for Mystic Violet but the children had talked me into going for Cosmic Blue instead... I was a bit worried that: 1) it would be too black on me & make me look ghostly white, 2) it wouldn't suit me - to my surprise I was wrong on both counts, yes it was dark & quite black but it actually looked good & I thought the blue tint to it somehow managed to make my eyes stand out more. We then went round to my bestie's place for Pre-Christmas nibbles, it was wonderful to see Claire, Jason & the kiddies, what was even better was the Mince Pie taste test between M&S Lattice Mince Pies & Heston Blumenthal Puff Pastry Mince Pies with Pine Sugar Dusting (I previously blogged about this HERE). After a very enjoyable afternoon, I had my nails Minx'd for a little Christmas treat to myself - I've never had them Minx'd before, but they did look beautiful for Christmas I must say. We had a fairly chilled out evening after my nails had been done, Aisling joined us & we had the funniest conversation between her, Alison, myself & Duncan all sparked off from the Christmas Card I had brought Duncan! Lol
Thursday 22nd itself was a pretty non-eventful day at home... well, unless you take into account the children were already very hyper before Christmas & Duncan was at work for his last day before his Christmas break & I was pulling my hair out! Still the evening came & we were going to Funky Mike's karaoke down The Kings Arms, we hadn't been out on a Thursday since November 3rd so it was a very pleasant change... so pleasant that Duncan was drinking with Sparky Mark & shall we say, he ended up a little worse for wear much to most peoples amusement - thankfully he doesn't do this often, he deserted me & left me at the pub while he staggered home alone! LMAO
I spent a day in the kitchen on Friday 23rd (7.5 hours to be precise), busy baking & decorating a selection of cupcakes for my gorgeous adopted daughters 25th birthday as she was celebrating that night at karaoke - so it was obvious it would be a cupcake-oke instead! Alison had decided that as she always had a winter birthday she would have a change & go for a Hawaiian Beach Theme instead, so the cupcakes had to be fitting. I had some icing cupcake toppers to link in with the theme & also made the following flavours: Strawberry Daiquiri, Piña Colada, Coconut & Chocolate! It was a fabulous atmosphere in the pub that night, people out just before Christmas, people celebrating Alison's birthday & people just celebrating everything & having fun =)
Saturday 24th (Christmas Eve) was a good day as I managed to get my phone upgrade after waiting the best part of 2 years... never again will I have a 2 year contract, my last phone went for repair no less than 4 times & still needed repairing when I upgraded! The joys of faulty phones... No less I love my new one though. We popped round to see the Funky Fulfords & spread some festive cheer... only myself, Duncan & the girls went as Cameron wanted to stay home with Alison. After finally getting the children into bed at about 9.30pm I managed to chill a little by packing our bags to go to the In-Laws & finally playing Mrs Christmas - I couldn't wait to see the children's faces in the morning, think I was almost as hyper as them by the time Duncan got in from work!!!
Sunday 25th December... Christmas Day, Yay!!! Posted a cheery Christmas status on FB just after midnight, opened my 1st present from my wifey Becky at 01:36 & proceeded to post a picture of my gift on FB, then at 02:00 I posted pictures of the piles of presents Santa & Mrs Claus had delivered to us & the children, finally at almost 03:00 I posted a picture of 3 Terry's Segsations that I opened before going to sleep as they said: You're Incredible! You Star & Big Kiss. Got back up just after 07:30 with the kiddies & we opened our presents with Alison - I got the most beautiful 'Charmed' watch from Duncan amongst various other great items. The children were pleased with the presents they received & all in all it was a very happy house on Christmas Day, we then headed over to Sharp Seniors Pad for Christmas lunch (Merlin was coming along with us too) with Mum & Dad Sharp & Granddad Doug (he is doing incredibly well for a 91 year old) as always lunch was bloody brilliant with home cooked Christmas Pudding which I videoed flaming this year instead of the obligatory photo!!! We all watched the Christmas Dr Who special, which was absolutely amazing (the best yet in my opinion) - an all round fabulous day =)
Monday 26th December, Boxing Day... An almost complete Sharp Family Christmas with Mum & dad Sharp, Richard, Tim, Stuart, Treena, Nathan, Bronwen, Imogen & of course the five of us, me, Duncan, Cameron, Hermione & Anneliese. It was full of fun, food, games & lots of laughs with silly prizes - The children behaved well & played with their cousins, the adults were as behaved as they could be, with the star of the show being Tim & his comedy impressions... job well done sir!
All in all Christmas 2011 was one of the best yet & I am already looking forward to Christmas 2012 to see if it can get any better?! We'll just have to wait & see, only another 348 days to go: Countdown to Christmas 2012

A little blog from the kitchen!
Well, it seems I have been as busy as ever & still have yet to find enough time to sit at the laptop to write a proper blog!!!
As the title suggests, I am currently in the kitchen cooking dinner for the three children... But hey, lucky for me I have the blogger app on my phone so I can blog away (even if it is just a mini taster blog again) while I cook - multi-tasking, got to love it!
Not a hard dinner to cook for the little cherubs today, they're having pasta, red pesto & chicken. Nice & healthy, they all eat it & they all eat without any complaints... Perfect meal time =)
This week is increasingly busy for me, I had PoSCh this morning (a support group for parents of children with additional needs), this afternoon I've spent on two school runs, hoovering, polishing & bathing the dog, now of course it's dinner duties...
Now tomorrow I get to see my very good friend Sam, she is one of the most amazing people I know & is one of my very closest best friends. It doesn't matter if we don't see each other for a few weeks or more, we always pick up where we left off & it never seems like we've been parted that long either! I've also got to talk cakes with someone & of course being Tuesday, I've got Slimming World in the evening - let's hope the scales are kind?!
Wednesday I have a Dr's appointment in the morning... First the nurse, then the doctor - can't wait!!! Still, I don't go unless I have to so I'm not a frequent visitor thankfully. Have to see a doctor never seen before though, always a but daunting but nothing overly personal to chat about fortunately!
I'm hopefully meeting some good friends for coffee on Thursday, just hope they can all attend as will be lovely if everyone is there. You know who you are people (I'm sending a text after this blog) x
Friday anything could happen yet... I'm hoping for an easy day, but when does that realistically happen when you have a home, children & husband to look after?! In between all the aforementioned tasks I will of course have household chores on a daily basis, they're never ending & always require a little work day to day!
Well, the dinner is ready for the little kidlets so my time blogging has come to an end as theyre now sitting down to eat at the table... I'll go have a quick cigarette as I'm going to eat with my hubby when he gets in from work & the kidlets are in bed.
More blogging soon, but not soon enough... Still got a few blogs stored in my head that I must get to a laptop to do!

Not a hard dinner to cook for the little cherubs today, they're having pasta, red pesto & chicken. Nice & healthy, they all eat it & they all eat without any complaints... Perfect meal time =)
This week is increasingly busy for me, I had PoSCh this morning (a support group for parents of children with additional needs), this afternoon I've spent on two school runs, hoovering, polishing & bathing the dog, now of course it's dinner duties...
Now tomorrow I get to see my very good friend Sam, she is one of the most amazing people I know & is one of my very closest best friends. It doesn't matter if we don't see each other for a few weeks or more, we always pick up where we left off & it never seems like we've been parted that long either! I've also got to talk cakes with someone & of course being Tuesday, I've got Slimming World in the evening - let's hope the scales are kind?!
Wednesday I have a Dr's appointment in the morning... First the nurse, then the doctor - can't wait!!! Still, I don't go unless I have to so I'm not a frequent visitor thankfully. Have to see a doctor never seen before though, always a but daunting but nothing overly personal to chat about fortunately!
I'm hopefully meeting some good friends for coffee on Thursday, just hope they can all attend as will be lovely if everyone is there. You know who you are people (I'm sending a text after this blog) x
Friday anything could happen yet... I'm hoping for an easy day, but when does that realistically happen when you have a home, children & husband to look after?! In between all the aforementioned tasks I will of course have household chores on a daily basis, they're never ending & always require a little work day to day!
Well, the dinner is ready for the little kidlets so my time blogging has come to an end as theyre now sitting down to eat at the table... I'll go have a quick cigarette as I'm going to eat with my hubby when he gets in from work & the kidlets are in bed.
More blogging soon, but not soon enough... Still got a few blogs stored in my head that I must get to a laptop to do!
