Ok so I’ve been absent for quite sometime but it’s not because I don’t like you… life just gets in the way!
The main reason for my absence is the partial demise of my laptop… the back-light has gone so I can only use it with a monitor and so it is no longer technically a lap top it does mean I also spend far less time looking for dubious bargains on ebay or buying books on Amazon… I may be partially responsible for the recession… oooops, sorry there!
So life in Sourpuss Towers goes on, Mr Sourpus is a little gloomyer than normal, but hopefully the pills and some space will put that right.
Miney and Mo have celebrated a birthday and are expert at getting under feet, and reaching important stuff which would work rather better without being slimed on! They are yet to become bipedal… but it’s only a matter of time!
Meaney is turning into a lovely young man, is now reading by choice, anything he can, cereal packets, road signs and anything to do with dinosaurs. He is also re-writing the Bible, “In the beginning God was alone, so he made the big bang” Mr SP is very proud!
Eaney delights in telling us she will be ten next year, and is now officially gifted and talented (whatever that means)
As for me, well I went back to work last month, which is wonderful, I get to drink a hot drink whilst it’s still warm, eat my lunch at lunch time, go to the loo without an audience, and do my bit to save the world!
My reasons for going back were many, firstly I really enjoy my job and love the people I work with, the work is interesting and varied and really make a difference to people I may never meet! One of the other reasons was to regain a bit of myself, life is full on and I could feel myself disappearing into being Mummy Moon and I was beginning to care a bit too much about Jessica Fletcher and Homes under the Hammer!
So my prolonged absence has been nothing to do with a lenten observance (apart from “Oh look it’s Lent!”) more just real life impinging on my virtual one…
Hopefully I’ll be back again before the summer is out…
