  • THIS ESSAY IS HORRIBLE!!!!!! Im hating it right now, i have little or no motivation, i just need to get it done, I dont even care about the grade now, Ive had enough. Once its in I can forget about it as long as i pass!!!!
    NSD today, got a lovely salad for my lunch at uni and have dinner already prepared at home for tonight.
    Kids dinner also pre made just have to cook some rice to go with it.
    Dinner tonight meatballs in sauce with peppers and onions with rice and an apple for afters.
    Right- now to this essay- I will finish it- i'm determined!!!!
    I was a bit naughtly last night and bought my son some pre loved nappy covers from a facebook page- I used spare funds that were in my paypal though and now I almost have enough nappies for him and my DD to be in cloth nappies full time and I wont have to buy disposables anymore.
    thats all from me for now.

    I think ive caught a bug as 2 of the kids have had the same vommy headachey thing and I can't see them having m-sickness too!
    my daughter is running the half marathon tomorrow so up early and then to church.
    will write again soon.

  • essay is half way through now- go me!!!! however my house is a mess, the kids are running out of socks and pants as ive neglected the washing and I haven't spoken to hubby for almost a week as my head is constantly in book and/or on the laptop typing.
    My life is currently non- exhistant.
    on the plus side, I will be an assignment over on Monday and be ready to crack the next one that is due in the following week.
    nsd- all week except today as we need groceries and I just paid the nursery bill.
    tomorrow- finishing main body of essay- planning on getting to uni for 08.30 and working till 5pm.
    this give me time for a 1/2 hour lunch break and I can drop off/ collect the littles from nursery.
    so so tired but on Monday I can finally give in and sleeeeeeep.

  • After the worst month of my life ever ive had some really great news. Ive had a scan of wee babba and baby is happy and healthy and doing just fine, plus I got the results of my OSCE (clinical practice exam) and I passed with a 1st. Im so pleased, It was just what I need to know that I can do this, ive done 2/4 essays that are due in the first of which I should get the results for today and got 3rd one due in on Monday- im just getting it done over the next few evenings.
    Although some horrid things have happed I can now see a way forward, I CAN DO THIS! for myself and mostly for my kids. I want them to have a mummy that they can be proud of and look up to as a role model (of course not in the husband picking department).
    hope everyone else is well, sorry its been a while since I updated the diary.
    lots of hugs and prayers
    Foggy. x
