If he had one of these he could actually look at it and tell himself how awesome he is (because I don't ever tell him).
BTW *** I DO think you are awesome.
Oh and as I can't send him a card either, here's a link to the one I would send.

Hmmm
There is someone I would love to buy a Christmas pressy for this year, but for certain reasons it's not possible. So I thought I would post a picture of what I would get him instead.

I'm staying
Here.
I prefer this place to my other one.
At least I don't have to muck about with code to get it looking like I want it to.
Everything is just so much easier this way.

Rain, Rain and More.....
Rain :(
I am so sick of this weather, it has been tipping it down all week, and to make matters worse is also cold.
I have had so much to do this weekend, but as usual I haven't got around to doing it. My parents are in Israel, visiting my sister at the moment so the weekend activities that my mum booked Georgia (youngest child) in to do, I have had to ask the ex to take her, and of course I have had to go too. Yesterday she was making birdfeeders and today it was Christmas cards.
Which brings me onto Christmas, I haven't even started to buy any presents yet, or put up any decorations, I hate this time of year, I always thought that once you had children it brought all the excitement back into Christmas that had vanished when I got into my teens, but no, all I have is a feeling of dread. Maybe it's because children today have so many expectations, expectations that I know I cannot match.
Oh well, I know I will be a much happier person in 17 days when it is all over for another year, and then the same feelings of dread will be back.

Who needs Enemies When They Have (So Called) Friends Like These
I'm angry, very angry and I suppose slightly upset that people can't be honest and have to make excuses all the time.
I have had a friend for the last 3 years, she helped me loads when I was a complete mess with the Darren break-up, she was totally there for me, we have spent nearly everyday together for those years. Recently she has been going through a rough time, I was there for her, she asked me questions, I answered truthfully, maybe she didn't like what I said all the time, but it works both ways, I haven't always liked or agreed with what she has said to me.
The last few weeks she has seemed a bit offish with me, she used to come round for cups of tea before we picked our kids up from school (as I have turned a bit recluse-like since coming back from Ireland) but that has stopped. We had an agreement that I would go to her house for tea on Wednesdays and her and her daughter would come to mine on Fridays, after the first week she text me saying she thought it would be better if we left the visits until Springtime as the weather was too cold to do it now, I accepted what she said and agreed with it.
So anyway it got to the stage in the last 2 weeks that she started dropping her daughter off at school earlier than usual so she didn't have to see me (thats how i saw it anyway), then after school we would walk to my house together and then she would carry on to her house. I asked her if I had done anything wrong, or upset her in any way and she assured me I hadn't and that I was just being silly thinking like that.
That brings us to today, we walk to my house together, she carries on to hers and then I receive a text it said....'Rachel I think its best we don't walk home with you and Georgia anymore. Bronte knows not to ask to play after school but Georgia just makes it awkward because she still asks. I don't mean this nasty but I like coming home'.
I agree, Georgia does ask on a daily basis for Bronte to come and play, probably because she has no one else her age around here who she can play with, but it doesn't make it awkward for her at all..it's me who has to put up with the temper tantrums from Georgia all evening.
Maybe I have taken it all the wrong way, but as I see it with the change in her over the last few weeks, I think she is just making up excuses, why can't she just be honest and say to me that she doesn't want my friendship anymore?
Rant over.

Pffft
Just put this
together for georgia tonight to go into her newly decorated room, why don't they make things easier to assemble, it took hours :(
The Last Year
Ok a quick update on whats gone on in the last year, this shouldn't take long as not much has happened.
Darren is still in my life, it took me 2 years to get over that failed relationship, and now he wants me back, no chance as I keep telling him, too much went on and it would never work out.
Luke has got a job, and moved out and into an apartment with his girlfriend.
Lauren has still got a huge attitude problem, but as she is 16 now I hope it won't go on for much longer.
Georgia is just Georgia, still have behavioural problems with her, but not a lot that I can do about it...not for want of trying though :(
End of September I went to Ireland and met quite a few people from the guild I'm in on WoW, great bunch of lads, been really miserable since coming home, if I had the chance I would move out there tomorrow.Ireland's a great country :)
The next guild meet-up is in Sweden next February, I don't think I will be going though :(, but I'm sure there will also be another Irish one next year too, so i will go to that probably.
Well thats about it really.

Looking Back
I'm still very addicted to World of warcraft, but I only play in the evenings now, the only trouble is I have replaced it during the day with chatting on my numerous messengers :(.
The other day I was looking at my facebook friends list and Matt Miller is one of them, and it reminded me of efx2, so I thought I would go and take a look. Everything has changed so much, but I left a shout on bitzy's blog, he answered asking where I was,so I took the plunge and reregistered, what a disappointment I got when I noticed everything had changed, it was bad enough before when I found my old blog had vanished and no matter what I did I couldn't find out how to get it back, all those years of my rants had just vanished, it reminded me of when modblog went down and I lost all those entries too :(
So anyway, I made an attempt and what a disaster, I had a few comments left about asking for help, but me being me, don't like asking for help so I have left it. Then I noticed ben had replied and I realised I had really missed reading her blog, she always made me smile no matter what mood I was in, I missed that, I also really miss legs.
Well anyway, I have made this one in an attempt to get back into blogging and hopefully catch up with everyone I have missed and neglected over the last 18 months, if anyone reads this please say hi in my shoutbox.
