Stressed

Our home is not our home, Mum arrived over a week ago, dad is now out of hospital, the kids are desperately trying to keep their mouths shut, poor steph sharing a room with her nan is having major peace problems.
However much you love your parents can you honestly say you can live with them 24/7 with no room to escape to exept for your bedroom. we have had dad now with us for near on 6 weeks, mum a week, in a 3 bed house with one teenager and the other not to far behind, two adults and the 2 dogs.
Now i love my parents beyond a doubt and it is not there fault that there is only us to stay with, but Andy and i can't even have a decent row, let off steam and is totally no good for the love life. There is just not enough room at the inn. The grandparents forget that they are the grandparents and not the kids parents, how i run my house is how i run it, and tho this may differ from my mum it serves us well, How long they stay at the moment seems to be for a long while , Andy .....when the 8th arrives and they may still be here, you are not going to stay with friends xxxxx

steph's poem

Stephanie had to do a poem about bullies for her half term homework this is what she wrote......

bullies
I wish that bullies would care.
When they yank and pull your hair.
Why can't they be nice and share.
They make me scream when they growl like a bear.

When they pull and push me around.
I usually trip and hit the ground.
They can make such a horrible sound.
I try to stop them from taking my pound.

They will hurt me with a punch or kick.
Or with a pinch and a flick.
As well as name-calling and chucking sticks.
Which makes me feel really sick.

This is what a bully will do to me in a day

Dogs dances to music

Today has been a long old day, my only real day off and i spend it with good friends doing a heelwork to music workshop with Richard Curtis. He is one of the top people in their field of their dogs dacing to music.I took Bruno who bless him at not even 3yrs old strutted his stuff and showed off his moves.
It was a good fun day with lots of motivation to get your dog listening to you. If anyone reading this has a dog that is a bit bored and there is a local dog club that does this sort of thing then i can totally recomend it.
I have been to about 4 of these 1hr classes and i can say Bruno is a lot more motivated towards me than he has been in the past. I shall now have to see if this type of trainin will help us in the obedience ring this season.There may be some sort of surprise on about 13th march but i shall keep you posted.

crap day, crap week

Thank god this week is finally over. We have had dad over for 3 weeks, unfortunately he has not been well and got taken into hospital on tues night. In some ways it is a break as mum has had to stay in portugal, it has been hard work but now of course i have a 30- 5o min journey each way to the hospital as well as still working and the family.
I have tonight off so Andy and i can sit down order a chinese and watch mission impossible 3 before collapsing into bed knackered. I spoke to the hospital today and so news for us is at least another 2 weeks of hospital and then they will look at it again.
It is just so wrong with this government that we have to pay to go visiting our love ones when they are in hospital, Some of us do not have all day to travel on their public transport when visiting is only limited to a few hours. I bet blair would not have to do this, why should we be made to suffer for being ill with the extortion of paying the prices charged at a hospital car park.
