Hello!!! What an 'escorchio' week it has been! Got to love summer though!!!!
Firstly some facts:
1. It was 77 years ago that a British Male won Wimbledon Singles.
2. The last British female to win Wimbledon Ladies Singles was Virginia Wade in '77.
3. Today is 7/7
4. I live at no.7.
5. Two years ago today (7/7/11) I fled with the children from my abusive ex-husband to start a new life for us all :)
6. Not forgetting that sadly 52 civilians died 8 years ago in the London Bombings.
So today we have mostly been celebrating with BBQ's and bubbly!!
It didn't occur to me till just after Andy Murray won his crucial Championship point and Wimbledon 2013 that it was two years ago to the day that I changed mine and the girls' lives for the better!! What an afternoon/evening that was 2 years ago. But WOW! I feel like a different person - for the better! Single parent struggles are inevitable but I LOVE my life now!!
And the rest of the week? Bit of a blur! Time is FLYING by!! Last week was Honey Bee's Sports day. Lush weather, lots of fun and some proud moments! I even entered the mum and child race!! No embarrassing photos to be posted - sorry to disappoint!!
I spent most of my evenings last week preparing for the interview for this part time job I mentioned (I think?!? - playgroup financial administrator). Anyway, I then attended the Playgroup AGM and came away with lots of doubt. Now, going back to work is tough for any mum who has been out of it all for a number of years and those who unfortunately share similar experiences of DV will understand that your self esteem can be low. However, my subsequent change of heart wasn't about low self esteem or low confidence - I confirmed some niggling doubts that although this job sounded perfect, the timing just isn't right, as well as the fact that one of the other candidates would be far more suitable for the job being a soon-to-be ex Committee member! So I have withdrawn my application and have no big regrets about that decision.
This week it is Honey Bee's school play, Pirates of the Curry Bean!! Looking forward to that! Only 2 weeks of school left! Argh!! :)
