Long time no post!

Well it feels like ages since I last blogged ... the last 6 weeks have been very ... well ... very.

Baby Naomi turned 1 and I became obsessed with the new parent right of passage - a party with an elaborate cake that she will never remember but that cause quite a lot of stress for us! It all went well but I felt the relief lift off my shoulders the next day. Add to this uni studies, working (a little bit) and Hubby Mark on the job hunt merry-go-round again and I wonder why I feel anxiety.

I had a nice hot bath today after a Thai massage this morning and dug out my copy of Alain De Botton's 'Consolations of Philosophy', took a deep breath and hoped to be consoled. I read the chapter on frustration ... and realised that my hope to be consoled is an example of where I keep going wrong. "We will cease to be so angry once we cease to be so hopeful". Not quite sure what I should do instead ... need to keep reading!

How many times can one read ....

Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley are friends ... really great friends!!

This is Baby Naomi's new favourite story and she cries when we get to the last page and wont stop until I start reading again!
