The "low" down as it is at the moment...
So I return to my blog, to see that I haven't been here since October. I guess my monthly resolve proved a little hard to keep, once my life started "swinging" again. I will return as much as I can though, I do enjoy reading some of the old stuff myself. Memories and reminders and stuff.
I ended up going to New York. Stayed in Manhattan. I must say though, I came home absolutely shattered. Four days was not really enough. Everything felt rushed. Managed to take plenty of pictures though, so have lots of reminders. I would like to try to go back out there at the end of this year. Will just have to see how the finances hold up. My relationship with "my American" (as he has been called to date), seems to be going "ok" at the moment. I do hope I haven't put a dampener on it by saying that. We met up again while I was out there. He was the perfect gentleman. If I manage to make it out there this year, then I will be meeting "officially" with his family. I have met them all informally, but this is the "invited to dinner and questions" routine I guess.
Home-wise, Eldest son ended up moving back in and giving up his own flat. That makes five kids at home here, so as you can imagine it is a tad hectic here. The second son (now turned 16) has set up "roost" with his long term girlfriend. This is something that I don't very much approve of, but if it makes him happy, and keeps him out of trouble then, so be it. I am going through the dreaded teens again with son number 3.. the attitudes, slamming of doors, answering back.. isn't it grand? I feel I get over it with one, and another begins. Number four son borders on it sometimes, so I guess it won't be to long with him either. yuck!!
My mother has declared an intention of coming down to stay. I again have too find room to put her.. I am currently looking for a bed settee, too put in my living room and swap out my two seater. Having the eldest move back in took up my spare room, he decided to throw my chair bed thing away and buy himself a bed.
I barely speak to the ex now. He decides to drop "plans" as and when it suits him. I am glad that I had a "back up" plan for my trip to NY.. if I had to rely on him, I would never have went. He messed me up over the Christmas holidays as it was. I decided long ago that he was unreliable anyway. I try to get the children to "deal" with him directly. That way if he has to "do something" and not come for them that weekend, it is him telling them, not me. It does inconvenience me though, not knowing whether I can make plans for that weekend, till the last minute. Solutions please.. I'm running out of ideas other than legal.
Me, myself.. I'm plodding on. I currently have a blocked sink downstairs in the kitchen, it is driving me crazy, I know that I am going to have too take the pipe apart and I don't really want to! On top of my ever climbing job descriptions I can now add "plumber" lol! "It's me Mario!!" I still have a slight feeling of unhappiness, and I am not totally sure as to why. I keep it mostly hidden though, how can I explain what I don't know or understand myself?
Anyway, until next time.. adios!!
