Just checking in!!!!

I'm just checking in, making sure that none of you are missing me!!
What - you're not missing me???
Well, i may just go and hide in Lilo's basket and go all moody then!!!!

I do have photos of the weekend - i just haven't had time to put them on the computer yet - it IS on my to do list - along with the ironing, the tidy up and the cleaning of the bathroom - wonder which will get done first!!!!


Mind you - another busy week - Lilo had to visit the vet yesterday - jabs and a worming tablet. Skinned me nearly £34 - i'll need to get the girl out working to help keep her in health care and decent food!! Oh - and cooked chicken to hide the worming tablet in!!! She is a pampered puss - mind you - for most meals it's felix or whiskas - the chicken s a treat!!!!

And we went to the Graduation Mass at school today - well, it wasn't aactually @ school, since the 4th years have started exams, so we went to one of the local churches. It was nice to see all these 17 and 18 yo kids ready to take on the world after school. I was fine - till i saw Monica's Mum and dad. Paul and Monica have been in the same class since primary 1. All of 13 years they have been together. I wanted to cry remembering all the things they have done ,all the chats th\t Tracy and i used to have in the playground, Tommy listening to me put the world to rights as we walked home of a morning!!

But life goes on and as one door closes, an window opens on to a new beginning!
There is a story about St Ambrose - the  patron of their school. When Ambrose was young, he was in the grounds of his father's house. A swarm of bees went round him and landed on him. The staff of the house were worried that he would be stung, but he wasn't - all were surprised. But it ws said that the sweetness of his words spoke to the bees and to others to listen to what he had to say.
So when i'm trying to get all the things i need to help Peter (and Paul) to get on at college and get all the support, i remember the story. A spoon of honey is preferable to a pint of vinegar!

So on the day that is Paul's last official day in school , let that be a thought for you.
