couldn't post a comment on Johns blog but the reason they were all quiet when you were talking about interest rates was probably because they were bored. did you check to see if they were sleeping? hehe
Was at Docs today with Dex about his skin again, just a wee check-up to see how he's doing. asked about sun cream and what kind to use. She asked "oh where are you going?" just to Ayr we said, and she burst out laughing!!! she thought we were going to somewhere hot because we were asking about cream!
helped Kai for about 2 hrs with his project which is due in tomorrow, usual Kai, waiting till the last minute. remind you of anyone?
no work done in the garden today, Steven was tired and went to bed for 2hrs at 1pm today, by the time he got back out of bed i had to go to the centre for some things for our hollipop's on Monday. we're going to the caravan for 4 days, Dex's first holiday!

TUESDAY
after a night of almost NO sleep i got up to take Kai to the dentist to have his braces fitted. on our way there he was telling me how scared he was and that his heart was thumping. what a wee shame, i kept telling him it'd be ok, he'll be fine. he tried to do a deal with me, you know like the other one when i had to give him a fiver if he was brave. "NO WAY" i said, i was out of a fiver the last time. so while we were waiting, he was getting more and more nervous. then the time came to go in. he sat in the big dentist chair and the big dentist man looked into his mouth for about 4 seconds and said, "your braces will be ready in 3 weeks". Kai looked at me with a look of confusion and relief, but he'll have to do it all again in a few weeks time, so no braces yet!
went to bed early to catch up on my sleep and Dex had me wakened most of the night losing his dummy. he had a wee restless sleep too.
WEDNESDAY
tried to get out to help Steven in the garden today but Dex didn't want to be in his buggy watching us, so i took him a wee walk round the park and gave him his first ever shot on a swing! his face didn't really show any emotion at all so i took him back out again.
went to B&Q to get more soil improver and ended up getting loads of wee alpine plants, 3 for £5!!! we've got lots of space to fill so we'll have to get other plants as well but these will do for now.
after Kai came in from school i managed to get out for a wee shot of weeding. was out for about an hour, but it looked like i only got a tiny bit done! then Steven took over and finished the wee bit i started while i went in to feed Dex and to put the dinner on.
gave Dex a bath in the sink tonight (so you could say i gave him a sink, no it doesnt sound right), he loves it! got me soaked while he splashed his wee fat legs, got everywhere else soaked too. its great to see his wee face enjoying the water. had an early bath myself tonight, all ready for another early night.

see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
SATURDAY
Kai had a football game on Saturday, they won 7-5!! they are defiantly getting better!
had a wee chat with Cree on facebook, she says she was sick, watching Bridget Jones, no wonder she was sick!
went down to B&Q to get some things in for the garden. we got some soil improver and my beloved strimmer/trimmer. i just had to have a shot. so on Sat afternoon, out it came, all shiny and new. had to get a bit of help from Steven to put it together, then off i went, strimming almost everything that was above my trainers! i think i even chopped off the beginnings of our lillys which were covered with weeds, aw well. i even cleaned the moss off the edging bricks with it, it was wonderful!!
Sat night, went down to the "Tap Shop" for Tracey's b/day night out. i was up on the karaoke all night! they kept running out of singers, so i had to help them out. did a few new numbers i hadn't done before. went down pretty well me thinks, but i was utter steam boats so i don't really know. saw oor John's old pal Sam there too, he also had to help out with the lack of singers on the karaoke, great night. Tracey was arguing with one of her pals but i kept well out of it, i had business to do.
SUNDAY
as always after a heavy night out, didn't do much.
After Tracey, in my opinion, was out of order, i had a few of the lassies on the phone asking what had happened????? i was singing all night, how am i to know!? were they not listening to my songs???
Kai made his own piece n ham, lettuce and cucumber, wee chef here. he can even work the washing machine, make tea, coffee and the tumble dryer!! not that he does any of those but he knows how to do it.
MONDAY
Steven was out in the garden all day. it was raining but the wee soul still went out.
Dex is laughing at loads of things now and he loves his wee door swing that bounces, he laffs and laffs when he's in it. he seems to find Murray really funny as well for some reason.
still having the phone going for things that happened on Sat with Tracey. i know more then I'm letting on, but I'm keeping my mooth shut. the best way if you ask me! wont hear a peep from me.

stop bugging me around
i stole something today. THERE I SAID IT!! what is was, was, i bought an artificial flower (very nice) for my bathroom a couple weeks ago, and Steven said it looked like the top flower was missing. so today we were in homebase (where i bought it from) and had a look to see if there were any other ones there to see how they looked. i couldn't see any the same as mine but i did see other ones bigger than mine. so i took the top flower off it and stuck it in my pocket! i know i know its BAD, but it was an impulse thing. i just had to do it. so i have that disease, aw well. just this once. we did buy things from the shop. i got a new spade and an edger thingy, like a spade but curved. gonna get a strimmer/trimmer next week when i get more money, ive seen the one i want, its dead good! oh god i cant wait to start the garden. have i said that already?
i think ive got that cleaning bug Linda was talking about! i've been cleaning every day all the time, but tonight i was putting something in the cupboard and thought it looked quite dirty. so i cleaned it. then i continued to clean ALL the kitchen cupboards!!! i think mum has it too, she was telling me about her watching "how clean is your house" and she now has THAT bug!! whats all this about eh??!!
mum was telling me she went for a hearing test and she's to get an aid! what a difference she'll notice. now she wont be able to hear us for all the noise!! hehe

Your so young and beautiful
took Dex to get weighed today, that's him at 16lbs 3oz and now at 63 n half cm. a wee bit below average but all ok. then was late for doc's appointment so i didnt get taken, :-( been waiting a month for it as well!
got on "Jailhouse Rock". Elvis is just soooo gorgeous, no words to describe the man at all. absolutely lush!! they dont make them how they used to anymore. in fact, i think he is the only star ive ever fancied!! GAW RRR JUSS!!!
been looking around the web sites for things for the garden. gonna start it this weekend properly. i mean, ive already made a start, but this will be when, hopefully, you can see a difference. if the weather holds up anyway, if not, thats just another excuse for Steven to do no gardening. i think if it rains, and he says he's not going out, then ill go out and show him up, then complain to him that he's a woose. yeah right, i can just see me now, pulling the weeds in the rain, i DONT think so. i can always look for something else for him to do. god, i sound like a total slave driver, but he only goes to work during the week and NOTHING else.
i'm away to drool over Elvis.

sleepless in kirky
got no sleep last night. Dex slept soundly but i just couldn't sleep! i kept thinking about how to change his wipes to only have water in them. you know with his eczema, it would be much better for him and i could use them to wipe his face. thinking about how to submerge the pack in my wee sink to get all the "sensitive" ingredients out, then rinse in plain water. i think that could work, but I'm sure i threw out the plastic wipe box which I'd keep them in. then whenever i did get to sleep i woke myself up with having nightmares. one was watching a guy violently attacking another guy and i was only 10 feet away. not nice.
went to shops today to spend what was left on Dex's mothercare card. got him a wee summer hat and handles for his advent bottle. i put it on his bedtime one to see how he'd do. so funny watching him, looked like he was really proud of himself, but he doesn't quite get that he has to tip the bottle up yet. wee soul.
Kai got his Xbox back, he's DELIGHTED! I'm not so. ill hardly ever see him now. its back to - me - "time for your telly on Kai" - him - "in a minute", and so on and so on for about an hour before i start to blow my top! just cant get him away from it. thank god for his football. one thing, its a really good threat for punishment.

We're Free!!!
What a lovely weekend I've had. kids went to Stevens mum for Sat night cos Steven won tickets for the cinema on Sunday morning, a 10.30am show. so i was thinking "YEESSS a night out!!" but thinking about the early morning show, i thought, that means either (A) i cant get too drunk on Saturday night or (B) just go out on sat night and not bother going to cinema. which one did i choose? Well, had a few drinks in here before we headed to the local pub, by that time it was 10.45pm so we didn't have a lot of time in the pub before it shut. had a really nice night and we didn't sit not talking, probably cos i was away talking to every stranger in the place, me drunk?? no i wasn't that bad.so went up the road and Steven had set the alarm to get up for the pictures! have you ever heard the likes?!
Sunday morning alarm goes off, was annoyed out of bed by Steven. got up, went in for a bath and felt great!! what an absolutely beautiful day it was. went to the flicks, "state of play" was the film and it really was quite good, then through for the weans. came back and went out to make a start on the weed overloaded garden. I'm just dying to get it done. was out for about 4 hrs, did quite a bit, but because of the state of it you'd hardly think i touched it at all! watched a few episodes of "heros" trying to catch up with it. then off to bed, was totally knackered.
this morning took Dex and Murray for a walk round the park then we all sat out the back with the table and chairs for our coffee. another gorgeous day! did another wee bit pruning while we were out and had a wee talk about what we're going to do. cant wait till its done. i even asked a guy who came round the doors a price to do the landscaping... £1000!!!!! er no thanks, ill just do it myself thanks very much.

eye eye!
OMG! i just measured Kai against the kitchen door and he's taller than me!! we've been measuring him on the door for years and been marking it, he's grown about 5 inches since the last time!
i caught Dex scratching his head today, to late to stop him making marks. i was in fixing his lunch and popped my head round the door to check him and there he was all quiet, having a good scratch. i wanted to give him a wee break from wearing mitts, but i suppose this is telling me i cant.
i noticed i have a few eyelashes missing! i just happened to look in the mirror today and saw i had a wee space, maybe about 5 are missing, maybe more. it doesn't sound like a lot, but i have hardly any as it is and you can see a bald bit!!!! straight away i started putting make-up on to hide it, i wasn't going anywhere but it made me feel better until i thought about washing it off!! OH NO!! what if i wash my face and the rest come off???!! just out the bath having washed my make-up off, and it doesn't look any worse. I'm going to the docs next week so ill ask about it. this is really worrying!

get your motor runnning...
when i was taking Steven to work today, something on my dashboard caught my eye... A FLASHING STOP SIGN!!! ive never seen it before and my temperature gage was rapidly going up and down. i took it straight to Colins after i dropped Steven off. by that time it had stopped? dont know what was wrong with it? got him to check my exhaust while i was there,i knew it was making a noise, but i didnt know the bloody thing was falling off!! its going in tomorrow to get fixed. told him to "put it on my tab".
took Kai for a haircut, my, how different he looks. hes starting to look like a real teenager and hes got ages before he's one! he's got the hairiest legs in the school, apart from the men teachers. i told him all the girl's will fancy him now, but he'll have to be nice to them! what a gorgeous wee man i have.
starting my diet again on Monday, there's too much chocolate about for me to stand it. ive not beed too bad. normally if i say im going on a diet, i eat as much bad and fattening things i can, cos i know i wont have it for a long time, then i end up not starting my diet for months and by that time ive put on LOADS more weight! i wonder why?!

Haircut 100...
got my pin-up girl picture today, yeah! asked Robbie and Kai if they liked it and with a wee laff they both said "yes we do". hehe. also got my shower curtain, its dead flimsy, think it'll rip really easy. i should have just got the one i wanted and not listened to Steven, that always happens. got my blind delivered too. it's turned out to be gray and not nearly black, as it looks like on the web site. so i got on the phone to them and told them the colour is completely different to that on the page. they told me they cant take it back cos its made to measure and they advise customers to get a free fabric sample before you buy, all they can do is offer 10% off if i decide to get another one in place of this one. so i got on to the "consumer action group" web site to find out my rights. dont hold out much hope, but better trying than doing nothing huh?
noticed Kai had cut his own hair! he tried to tell me he didnt touch it!! oh well, he's getting it cut tomorrow anyway. thats the first time he's ever done that... ever!

I'm forever blowing bubbles!
really hungover yesterday after a great night out with mum and Linda, lots of carry on and a wee bit dancing. did nothing yesterday, I just couldn't. wanted to go to bed at 4o'clock but couldn't do that either. feel a bit better today, will be back to normal tomorrow.
Linda came through today with the weans. Lolly made me a lovely keyring with her beads, she always makes me good things. Thanks Laura! She's a wee angel. x
went in for a bath after I put Dex down. Kai and Robbie were away out and as soon as I got my hair wet, Dex woke up. thought he would just go back to sleep, but by the time i got out the bath, he was well awake and screaming! had to console him for ages, well a good 10 mins. went back to the bath, just put a foot in and he woke again! went back through, put his dummy in, got back in the bath...aahhhhh bliss. started shampooing my hair and "Waaaaahhhhhhh", he's at it again. so oot I get, settle him again, back to the bath. rinse hair, condition hair, finish washing, rinsing conditioner off then "WAAAAAAHHHHHH" again!!! so I just put my head under the water and kidded on i didn't hear him. thought I'd better get him, jumped out the bath AGAIN and by the time i got to the bedroom door, he was sleeping!! wee shite! so i had a really nice relaxing bath tonight!

my favorite meal!!
Thought id better write this before its tomorrow!
Linda, I was just saying to my mum last week about when I used to come home from work on Saturday, after a hard days work. One saturday I got liver, and cos I hadn’t had it for ages, maybe years, I really enjoyed it! So I said to mum, “that was really nice mum!!” BIG MISTAKE!! Every Saturday for about 7 weeks I got liver for my dinner! I should have appreciated the fact that she went to the trouble to make it for me, but I got really sick of it after the 3rd week. I think by the 7th week I just came out with it after holding it in for weeks. “Mum!! Why do you make me the same dinner every week??!!!” I would have added a sweary work, but I wasn’t allowed to swear!

Cd's off to loft heaven
Just signed up for a great web site I found. Its called “Kaboodle”. if I ever see anything I like, I just hit my “add to Kaboodle” button and it saves it for me so’s I never loose it. I always do that, I find something I really like and save it to my favourites, and end up with LOADS of favourites. You can also search other peoples finds that you may be looking for, and it takes you to the web site its on. Its great!! The pic is a toothbrush holder i would love to get but i really dont think Steven would let me. i just love it!
Dex is starting to roll over when he’s in his gym. it usually only happens when he’s angry trying to get his toys. He does a big ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! then he rolls over!! it looks like he’s saying to himself, “what have I done!? What will I do now??”, weans are so funny eh!
Kai’s staying at his friends house tonight, so its just me and Dex. He’s been in his bed since 7pm, so its really just me on my todd.
Ripped loads of cd’s tonight. We’ve got millions between us and its taking up to much precious space. So they are all going up in the loft, but we have to copy all of them first. A long job but it has to be done.
look what ive done, at the very bottom of the page! how clever am i??!!

long beard
Had a very uneventful day today, just the usual day of seeing to the weans.
Kai was out most of the day with his pal. When he was in, he was making paper guns in his room with his pal. Later on, I went into his room to take his washing in and all over his bed was white with PAPER!! He had football training tonight, so really I’ve hardly seen him all day.
Dex was a bit crabby most of the day. He had a good sleep for about 1½ hrs so he was better after that. His skin was really irritating him when he was getting changed into his jammies, he kept trying to scratch all over, I feel so bad for him.
Steven shaved his beard off!! SHOCKER!!! It was getting really bad, and I told him he was not getting any kisses from me till it was gone. It worked! I wish he would shave more often but I think he likes to look like a tramp. His nick name in his old work was “the scruff” and he seemed quite proud of it. He really doesn’t mind it at all!

wizzzzaaaaaap
God, that’s the first time I’ve signed in and got in on the first shot!
Just read all the blogs I’m following, I had a wee laff at them all. Its good to be able to keep up with peoples life’s. You too Cree, and you’re a great wee writer, so I hope that course your doing goes well for you. Maybe you’ll become a famous author??
Had mum come out today. She told me yesterday that she’d be here around 12ish, and she knew I sometimes had a long lie on a Sunday. Yeah I said, that’d be great! But low and behold, the wee Dexy had me up at… 6.10am!!!!!!! Arggggggghhhhh “the joys” and all that. She got here around 12ish as she said. Kai and Steven were over at the park, having a kick about, and Dex was sitting on his chair having a greet. No surprise there then. Had a wee blether then got started an her hair. Wee shame, she cant do it by herself, not with her wee sore hand. So I got started. Coloured her hair all over first, then after that had taken (covered her greys) I started on her blondie bits. She told me where she wanted them. At the time I thought you wouldn’t really see it, but when it was done it looked really good! that’s me promoted to the hairdresser I think. Well, I’m already the eyebrow shaper. I remember my Gran used to ask me to shape her brows for her, something I feel privileged for. Sometimes I had a hard time getting to her wee stray ones, ok, big stray ones, cos they would be really low, you know, like way down, almost on her eyelash line. So I know what to expect when I’m older! I often used to tell her about her beard she would have grown, and offer to snip it off for her. I found it a bit of a hard subject to approach at the beginning. But after the first time, I thought, I really cant let my gran go about with whiskers on her chin, she would never have forgiven me! Also, her eyebrows had to be taken back quite a bit, they were like that Norman Lamont’s (is that his name?) but I really look back on doing all that with fondness, even though almost every time I did it, well as she was getting on a bit anyway, that it would be the last time I would be doing it. Awwww ma wee granny. I miss her.
ANYWAY… that was a bit of a reminisce for me there.
After my mum left, with her new hair, Steven’s mum and dad came through. They didn’t really stay that long. So after they left, on I got with the dinner. Meanwhile, Dex is still greeting, I made some soup for all of us, and while it was cooking we all went over to the park for a wee walk. That’s Kai, Dex (in his buggy), Steven, Murray and me. Phew, the list is getting longer when I put it like that. Got home, put Dex to bed and watched a bit of telly. Kai’s been on the pc nearly all day. He’s been on youtube and making paper guns. it’s the type that he plays with when he plays some games on his xbox. Oh how he misses his xbox!!
Steven just looked over my shoulder (before he goes to bed) and says "that’s a big one tonight". Hmmm I suppose it is. Going to join Steven, its his turn for Dex tomorrow. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.
Nighty night

Call the Police!!
God!! Forgot to mention yesterday , Kai found a syringe behind the bus stop over at the park!!!!!!!! I was away taking Steven to work when he found it. He phoned the police on his mobile phone and they came out to see him!! Cant believe he found that… in Kirknewton!!
His game today, which he thought they would lose, well they won 3-0! Kai got man of the match too for his great defence! Very proud mum. I can see a pro in him.
Went to the shops and got some paint for the bathroom. Its called “mountain rain” a kinda gray/blue/green, teal? Hopefully Steven will do it when he’s off on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Playing the wii again tonight. Well im having a wee sit out, im absolutely knackered tonight.
Wee Dex has been a bit crabit today, don’t know if its to do with his jags earlier in the week? He keeps wakening for his dummy, ive been through about 5 times since I sat down to write this, poor wee soul.

Banana? Anybody want banana?
Gave Dex banana today for the first time… he was sick! I thought id take a video of his face when I first gave him it because of the faces he was pulling, you know the ones where you know he is saying to himself “I don’t like this”! Then the next thing, buuugh, all over him. Ill be putting it on you tube so you can see. Not him being sick over the place, just his faces.
Played the Wii with Kai tonight. Had a shot at “guitar hero” im totally rubbish at it. Kai kept digging me for it, saying I was really bad. that’s just because he’s really good!
He went to bed, and when I was saying goodnight, he talked about his football game tomorrow. He said he had a funny feeling that they were going to lose tomorrow, hmmm. So good to see him interested in something other than xbox (its still broke) and playstation. I’ve liked the fact that its broken cos he spends more time in the livingroom, mostly on the pc but at least I can talk to him without going into his room.
Been thinking about what colour to paint the bathroom? I really don’t know what colour to go with. don’t know whether to go light or dark? Trying to get Steven to paint it (since he’s the professional painter) but he keeps saying ill be doing it!! I don’t bloody well think so!! Going to pick a colour tomorrow. He’s got all weekend to do it so ill keep you updated if he does or not.

doctors and nurses
Took Dex to the doctors this morning about his cream for his eczema and she told us that she’s going to book him into see the dermatologist up at the hospital., so that’s good. The cream we’re using seems to be helping his skin, it’s a bit softer anyway but I think she wants to see a bigger improvement.
Txt linda to tell her I was thinking of her and wee Laura, been thinking about lolly all day wondering how she’s getting on. Phoned mum to see if she knows anything but linda hadn’t got in touch with her yet. I hope their all ok.

Dads Anniversary
I phoned my mum this morning, to see how she was. She told me that Shannon had txt her to say it was grandads day today and she was thinking of her. How thoughtful of Shannon. Kai still talks about his grandad even though he was only 6 when he died. I have a candle burning for him today, in fact I’m on the second one. And taking John’s lead, I’ve got a wee drink tonight. Only a small vodka, I just couldn’t do the whiskey!
Kai had maths homework tonight that I couldn’t help him with?!! If Steven was here, he’d get it no problem. Then again, his uncle john could help him understand it better. Just told him to tell his teacher that he needs a little help with it. I hope she explains it to him so he understands how to do it.
Took Dex and Murray over to the park for the first time together this evening, Dex in his buggy and Murray on the lead. I didn’t do to badly, Murray behaved himself. I think he understood that he couldn’t go to far because I had Dex with me. I normally get Kai to take him out, but tonight Kai was at his football training. In fact, he came home quite upset. His trainer told him he wasn’t to play on Saturday because he was supposed to have said something about another team player (the trainers son) but he hadn’t. I was about to txt the trainer to see what it was all about, when the son phoned Kai and told him he stuck up for him and told his dad that it wasn’t Kai. Now all is well and he has a smile on his face once again.
