Warning...a bit boring of a post:
Well here I am on holiday and actually getting to post. I wont be able to put any pictures up as I dont have the cord for my camera. I is bringing it up on Sat with him. We are having a really lovely time. The first few days were tough in that I got tosilitis and could not get to a doctor to get anitbiotics and I was feeling HORRIBLE! could harly swallow my throat was white. Was taking Beachams cold/flu honey and lemon drink which has pracetamal in it every 4-6 hours just to be able to swallow. Then I found this really neet home remedy I tried and WOW have never seen anything kick it like this did. So I ended up not needing atibiotics after all! Now I am feeling great.
We are at Alice Freekes for the week and having such a good time. We came on Monday as Alice had the Rogers for the weekend. IT was nice to see them again too. L has gone with Alice to pick up the girls from the airport today. So it will be nice to see them again. They have been gone since we got here.
We ended up not being able to go to Struan to the communion as the ministers needed the house we were going to stay in and so I could not bring T with me. It was too long to leave him with Daddy so we ended up staying at Nomes for the weekend which turned out nice being I was so tired and poorly. We hope to go up another time.
We had a nice surprise yesterday. Lyle and Anna stopped by here for a few minutes. It was so lovely to see them again. They were on there way up to Fort William and stopped to get some keys from Alice. They had just gotten back from their honeymoon. It was nice seeing them as I dont think we will get to see them before they go to Texas later in the month.
On Tues I went with Alice to take Leah and Nat back to the airport (at 6 am my children were still asleep here with the boys) as they were flying home. I had not seen Lean since we left Tx and I dont think I have seen Nat since Leahs wedding. It been along time. We miss eveyone back home so it was nice to see them again.
I dont know how many people actually read my blog so I will stop here before it gets too long. Leave me a comment if you do read then I know at least I have not lost all my readers with such boring unintersting posts. :) I hope to be more faithful in posting more often with more newsy news and pictures.
Till next time.

Holidays and such
Wow cant believe I am actually getting to post again so soon. Thought I would do a quick blog as I am not sure over the next few weeks how much I will be near a computer to be able to be in touch or even blog. :)
Next Week L and T and I are going up to Struan for their communion. Then from there on monday we go back to Glasgow and stay the week with some friends. Then on that Friday or Sat Ks parents drive him and the boys up to meet us and we spend the next week in glasgow. It will be a nice holiday with the children separately and together. L is really looking forward to some mummy/daughter time and the boys are looking forward to some daddy/son time. :) they are all really excited about it.
Two more actual days of school left before summer holidays. They have school Tues and then the support staff, cleaners, kitchen staff etc are on strike so they have to close the school for Wed/Thurs so no school these days. I have a little girl from Rs class who is coming those two days as her parents are both working since we didn't know the strike was coming till last minute, then they have school Friday then are off on holiday. So this week is a little bizarre as our schedule goes. I was in school today then tomorrow I am home then on Wed/Thurs I watch this other little girl then in school on Friday then some really good friends from Manchester are coming for the day on Sat so our week is pretty full.
I have some pictures that I promised Rach I would put up from their visit here. The last one is of T when we went to York. I think it is a really cute photo of him. :0
Must get to bed only had two hours sleep last night. Couldnt get to sleep. But dont think I will have that problem tonight. :)

ummm???
Not really sure what to title this post as it sort of is...well...as my dear sister put it about time you updated. :) I know I know I have been really bad lately with updating. Life is really really busy here right now. I keep getting asked what is our week like so I am working on getting that typed out and put up here so you can see exactly just how busy we are. lol!
only two more weeks and the children are on summer holidays. Wow this year has really gone fast.
We have had another round of sickness here in our house. This time we have had to go for the antibiotics. :( C got sick last weekend and ended up staying home for two days with a VERY sore throat and a fever. Then on Tues broke out with a nice rash! so with the white spots on the tonsils the fever and now the rash I pretty much figured out what he had but took him in to get antibiotics and make sure it was what I was suspecting and sure enough it was! Scaletina! (use to be called scarlet fever) So our doctor (who by the way is a brilliant doctor! He knows I would rather do natural things over antibiotics and so wont suggest them unless he feels they are very necessary and event then tells me to still do the natural things.) then asked how the others were and L and R have had sore throats but they have not been too bad but he gave me antibiotics for both of them to fill if they came down with this and sure enough R got it a couple of days later and today L has gotten it. T was not doing to bad so he told me just to call if he started well he woke up pretty crokey today so going into the weekend I went ahead and got his as well. so now I am giving four lots four times a day. actually T only gets it three times aday. K has got a pretty bad chest and throat as well but apparently it is very rare for adults to get SF so he did not see a need to give me or K antibiotics.
On the brighter side of things I have finished college! YAH!! I have to submit my portfolio of evedence to my teacher next week but everything has been signed off and now I am just making sure that all the pages I have signed and dated and all the evidence is in there and then I can give to my teacher who then takes and and finishes what she needs to do and then I will recieve my certification! So now I am a fully qualified level 3 teaching assistant!! Soon to be certified! hmm staff at school are trying to get me to go on and finish and do a full teaching degree...I think I will wait a bit with that one. :) So now I can just really enjoy working with the children and not have to be gathering evedence for everything now. :)
Okay have been rambling on enough now. Not sure even if I have any readers left since I have not posted in so long....I am needing my bed...I have been feeling worse as the day goes on I think I have got this stuff from the children now. so will say bye for now and hopefully get photos up soon we even have some from the Reynolds visit a few weeks ago. (I know I know Rach I am terrible at getting photos up.)
till next time. :)
