Well this week is going to be utterly mental, methinks. We have Andrew's 8th birthday on Saturday and to celebrate he's having a wee sleepover on Friday night, so this house needs gutted. On Sunday we do the Race for Life and there's costumes to be made for that (for explanation go here. I also have my Politics assessment on Friday and need to prepare for that (help!).
The fact that I almost have an 8 year old is quite terrifying. It really seems like no time since he was a tiny wee chicken-legged bundle, and now he's too big for me to lift up without doing myself some sort of injury.
Anyway, today is an anti-Procrastination day. There is much to be done and I have to do it.
Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. ~William James

Resolute!
It's about that time of year again, time to make myself some resolutions!
Crafty times
1. Try and sew all the projects in the book I got for Christmas
2. Learn to crochet!!
3. Teach the boys to knit
Home
1. Start on Flylady again
2. Spring clean! I didn't do this last year and oh but you could tell!
College
1. I've managed to keep on top of homework and haven't missed an exam. My aim is to keep this up and to keep myself organised.
Bits n bobs.
1. Almost forgot this one, but facebook kindly reminded me: get a fish pedicure!
2. Try the couch-5k again and try and jog the Race for Life this year
3. Drop a dress size for the summer!

That's really what I want to achieve for next year. Have you made any resolutions this year?

Here we go...
Well I've decided to start a new blog to fit in with the changes in my life that are going to be occurring in the next couple of months. If you want, you can still go look at my old blog and who knows I may still update it from time to time but I think for the forseeable this will be where you are most likely to find me.
Those who know me fairly well are probably aware that I have taken the plunge and am going to college in September to start the journey towards gaining a degree in Primary Education. My first step is this college course - Access to Social Sciences. Then after that it's hopefully off to the big bad world of University!
Currently I am stressing about finding childcare for my daughter while I am at college next year - we didn't get a space in our first choice nursery due to an overwhelming number of applicants so fingers crossed we get a space in our second choice (which is still a brilliant nursery - my eldest went there - and is only second choice in terms of proximity to the college. First choice is actually *in* the college).
I'm also having a bag/stationary dilemma. When I went to college the first time around, I was (fairly) fresh out of school and went for a backpack and a couple of pads and folders. This time around I need to be incredibly organised from the get-go or I'll end up sending scribbled notes to children's teachers on the back of assignments and losing all my pens bar the pink sparkly one with the massive feather sprouting from the top of it! So although I have held off until now, I can sense a trip to Paperchase or WH Smith on the horizon (pretty or functional? a lifelong dilemma).
If there are any parents out there who've successfully juggled parenthood with their studies reading this, I'd love to hear how it went (or is going) for you.
