Came across a text that one of my friends posted, some of the lines written really sums up part of how my autumn has been, thought I'd share a few bits here:
Sometimes you just have to smile, pretend everything's okay, hold back the tears and just walk away...The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special,
then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don't care at
all...But the struggles make you stronger and the changes makes you wise...
I'm do agree and believe that by every struggle we go through in life something better will come out of it the other end. We need to learn by making mistakes, and we need to have though times sometimes in order to appreciate the good ones. At the end of the day, we can only grow as people and gain wisdom if we dare to live our lives our own way!

Patience, snow & coffee!
Usually I have a lot of patience, I consider that to be on of my good traits. Today it has been tested in many ways and I guess it's now wearing thin... Could be down to the last few weeks that has been more hectic than normal perhaps. Or could it infact have something to to with having to very strongminded children who has an extreme amount of willpower? Another trait that could be considered good if you want to succeed in life. Willpower is nevertheless something that runs in the family (yes I confess, they've inherited it from me)... Needless to say I do feel I right now need a recharge of some kind, hopefully this weekend will provide some well needed rest at some point.
Today we have also had the first proper snow of the season. I have not been feeling quite in mood for christmas yet although I know it's not that far off but today something changed. Amazing what a difference a little bit of white stuff can make! We are also in full tilt practicing christmas carols, soon enough I'll be back to feel my usual love for christmas I hope.
Apart from that the majority of my day has in one way or other revolved around coffee. This magical solutions is highly important to me, especially when it comes down to do some revising. Today I had a couple of misshaps with my coffee, the machine and I weren't quite on good terms to start with this morning but we sorted out our differences eventually. Then I ran out of coffee, had to rush to the shops in order to restore balance. Finally I got my reward :) I do hope tommorrow is a better coffee day than today has been as it'll be a day of needing to do some serious revising!

6 months
I know, it's been ages since the last post and I do realise I'm kind of crap at writing... Nevermind, figured I'd do one last attempt at this blog business anyways.
Lots has happened obvioussly over the past 6 months but I won't bore anyone with details. We have moved, about 5 roads down from where we lived previously. Bigger place, the kids now have their own bedrooms and the flat is a lot nicer than the previous one. We like it and feel at home. Over summer I managed to work a bit but we also had quite a lot of time off, well needed time off! Then school kicked in again. I was back at uni a couple of days after the move and so autumn has been hectic to say the least. Getting the house in order at the same time as doing law and being mum is challenging at times, but completely possible. Got my "reward" last week when I got my exam results. Top end, couldn't have asked for more :) Next week it's time for yet another exam...
Apart from school and family life autumn has been a busy time in many ways, lots of must do's, a bit of extra work, and only (unfortunately) little time for meeting up with friends. It has also been a time of re-assesing my life, what I value and what I want for the future. Some misshaps and some fab moments. All in all, as normal as life gets for most people I guess?
Anyhows, that's enough of a recap for now, will try to be more consistent in my updates from now on fingers crossed. Managed to get some party in my life last week with a big uni dinner part, James Bond theme. All good fun, will leave you with a picture taken that night :)
