Two Months

by The Surprise Beginning on April 23, 2013

It’s been two months since I last posted.

Two full and complete months.

In that time I have discovered the joys of university. Using my brain and actually succeeding is awesome on so many levels.

I am yet to crack the High Distinction, but Distinction still sounds pretty awesome to my out-of-school-for-ten-years ears.

I’ve been busy, and I’ve been sick, but enough with the excuses, I haven’t been writing.

Gosh I’ve missed my writing. Obviously I have been writing academically but it isn’t the same as this. It isn’t free, it isn’t expressive.

Sometimes when you pick something up you have to drop something else. I don’t know how it happened but somehow I dropped my precious blog. But now I’m going to pick it up  again. I can’t post everyday, but I can a few times a week.

I hope I can anyway.

I worked so hard to make this site something I was proud of and I am ashamed of how I have abandoned it. How I have abandoned my creativity.

I need my creativity.

Thankyou if you are still with me, I promise to be more useful in future.

I Thought You Cared

23 February 2013 Truth

Conversations with toddlers are truly unique. They have so much difficulty expressing just exactly what they mean, stumbling over pronunciation and meaning. Creating their own words to fill in the spaces in their vocabularies. My little man becomes absolutely exasperated at times. So desperately wanting to be understood. Wanting me to help him or just [...]

Trying

20 February 2013 Depression

I’m trying. Trying to get back into my life. Trying to get back into my blogging. Trying not to feel guilty or to worry as my babies spend their second day in the care of strangers. Mantra: it will all be fine. It’s Wordless Wednesday with My Little Drummer Boys.

Truth Time

18 February 2013 Truth

“The time has come” the walrus said “to talk of other things”. You know when you simply want to shove your head into the sand and make like an ostrich, hoping that something will change or happen and you won’t have to face up to the truth? My husband and I are separated. We have [...]

To Be Honest

2 February 2013 Truth

“To be honest . . .” That’s a big phrase for me at the moment. To be honest I don’t even really know where to start. To be honest I’ve been avoiding you. Everyone. To be honest I’m afraid to sort through my inbox, it’s just too stressful. There’s too much to do and I [...]

Black and White

28 January 2013 Fashion

Easy Sunday style is remarkably achievable. All you need is a little black and white combination and a ponytail. Enter one white Target Essentials Top, one black Bardot Mini and one super easy hairstyle, the Messy Ponytail. This outfit took me from coffee to the market back to play time with the kiddies and took [...]

Chocolate . . . It’s Over

25 January 2013 Women

It’s sitting there, within easy reach. There might be a door and some wrapping separating us, but I know that it’s easy enough to cross those barriers. I know that a momentary feeling of gratification is achievable. But then what? Yes, this is another ode to my old friend/foe, chocolate, and the role it plays [...]
