Well people its Friday already and I am at home doing my record of achievement books as well as looking over a few posts on my favourite sites such as http://www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk/ and http://www.stampingmadforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl. Well its been a quietish week really Tuesday we had our meeting at church for Rebekah's sacramental programme she is to be confirmed in May and Holy Communion in June and she has chosen Cecilia as her confirmation name.
Wednesday I had the final meeting concerning Rebekah at school as some of you may have been aware we were having some problems with her but she is starting to sparkle a little bit now and seems happier so happy Rebekah = happy Linda.
Thursday all quiet in the Lawrence household as the older ones had gone bouldering with the explorer scouts . Tonight Rebekah has a practice at the church for her Brownies as they are 90 this year and having a celebration. Rebekah has to dress as a Rosebud from I think the 1930's.
Then tomorrow me and my sis are off to Harrogate to the Great Northern Paper Extravaganza
it will be brill hoping to meet up with a few peeps as well.
Anyway better get back to work

Monday Monday
Gosh don't Mondays come around quick ?
Work is absolute chaos at the moment we have the builders in doing some internal changes to our building and so along with the builders knocking and hammering and the children pretending to be builders in the brick corner knocking and hammering and then the other children trying to be noisier than them well............................ you can just imagine the noise cant you.
Really need to get back into my card making as I feel it is slipping away from me again so fingers crossed when we have our Easter break in two weeks I can really get my head round it all again.
We have a meeting at school tomorrow for Rebekah's Sacramental Programme with Father John as she makes her confirmation in May and then her Holy Communion in June .
Hopefully will have some more excitement for you tomorrow lol

Happy Mothers Day
well we have had a lovely day today my little Rebekah who is 7 made me breakfast in bed ( with daddies help of course) then i opened my presents which was some shower gel from "lush" called sweetie pie ( Rebekah chose it cos that's what i call her lol) I also got some small storage boxes which i think are a hint to sort out my crafting stuff lol. We went to church were all the mums got a little bunch of daffodils and then been out for a meal which was lovely. Me and Rebekah have just made some yum yum cake as we call it others may know it as mars bar cake All in all a lovely day ( just waiting for the peace to be shattered lol when my two step children come back from spending the weekend with their mum )
Been a good weekend for a change so fingers crossed next week will be just as good

self review then parents evening !!! glad thats all over
Hi well what a day today has been I had my self review today with our head teacher and although I had lots of positive things to say i did find it quite emotionally draining, I feel I have been on a roller coaster the last 6 / 8 months but at least my boss does not think it has effected my work in anyway so that was good to know.
Then tonight we had parents evening for stepson got to be honest with you was absolutely dreading it as he has not been having a good time at school with arguing with teachers being sent out of lessons and that's only a few things that he has been doing. But we went into school and to be honest his main problem is his literacy skills or lack of them ( i personally feel he has been let down at primary level where this could of been addressed a bit more and i feel as we should of done more for him but up until him coming to live with us in November we were never part of his schooling as we were never invited to be ) but he can do the work and is a bright child but he just struggles with the paper work so hopefully strategies can be put in place to help him.
Oh yes his mum and step dad turned up at parents evening as well and saw a couple of teachers and basically told them that well you see he doesn't live with us anymore he is with his dad ( pass the book pass the book) and forgot to add one vital part of information ........ they are clearing off to the other side of the world anytime ( that wont have an effect on him will it ?)
Sorry rant over

Keep Clear its the sicky house !!! ( please dont read if of a delicate stomache )
Oh my word what a day it started at just after midnight ( well i know they normally do but i don't normally see the start of the day in lol) Rebekah was sick ( not just normal sick but sick from a great height as she is on the top bunk and it was as she was coming down the steps to go to the loo) It went everywhere BUT fortunately not over her sister in the lower bunk.
After we had tidied all that up she came in my bed for the night and as she slept on and off I hovered on the edge of the bed ( how can a 7 yr old take up so much room ?) She was awake on and off with tummy ache and at about 5 ish this morning she was fully awake and then sick again all over our bed so had to change that. ( twice ) second time just put her in a sleeping bag on the bed.
I went to work but ended up coming home I felt decidedly dodgy and still do if i am honest. I should of been out tonight with my dad and my hubby for a meal at the local cricket club but feel lousy so sent Steve to go on his own.
Right off to bed now to see if this yucky feeling goes

gosh where did the time go ?
Hi folks really really sorry for not blogging sooner but i really don't know where all the time has gone ( go on own up who has hidden the rest of February ?)
Whats been going on well life is never what you might say calm in this house hold ( life is a roller coaster ) cue for a song i know but that's what i feel like at the moment ups and downs.
ups = have received a couple of RAKS ( random acts of kindness) off Carol and Joe from http://craftsbycarolyn.co.uk truly thankful for those as they really cheered me up.
another up is that Rebekah seems happier at school than she has done in a long time.
It has been my sister and nephews birthdays been out for a meal and off to pictures at weekend to celebrate.
downs = my step son is having a bad time at school and i really don't know how to help him we have tried all sorts of things and are getting nowhere fast. this leads to arguments , tears arguments , tears round and round again.
So like they say things can only get better ( another song i know !!! Lol ) hopefully wont leave it too long next time.
