life – Being Betty

Following on..

Well today was a complete disaster and I ended up in tears. Boss was a bit surprised! Felt so embarrassed. I’ve only just finished – I started at 8am and it was so hot and humid.

I can’t sleep, I feel tired though. However I seem to have the weight of work on my shoulders and am worrying what the day may bring, all because of a stupid sofa I am cutting out of fabric!! If it was a plain pattern I wouldn’t be feeling like this but it’s a patternContinue reading “Can’t sleep”

Might be moving

It’s very exciting, however I hate waiting and at the minute it’s only a ‘might’. Bigger house means I need more furniture. So many sales on at the minute and it’s an ideal time to buy. . . But I’m not sure if we are moving. It’s so frustrating! Got so many ideas going aroundContinue reading “Might be moving”

Back to work

Well after being furloughed for over 2 months … I have had to go back to work. First thought – Fear!! I suppose I was worried about being in contact with more people and therefore at a higher risk of contracting the virus. Second thought – Will I actually remember all the stuff I wasContinue reading “Back to work”

Struggling to let go

I’m a mum to a near 19 year old son, he has a few issues which I am sure a lot of people do. I know I need to let go and let him make his own mistakes but I don’t want to see him get hurt. He may be nearly 19 but he hasContinue reading “Struggling to let go”

Too early for summer?

I’m sat here watching film after film trying to pass the time away. Is it too early to get my summer clothes down and sort them out? Yesterday was a lovely warm sunny day but today is blooming freezing. I’ve just ordered some more storage boxes to try and organise my room. I’ve got soContinue reading “Too early for summer?”

I’m not a hugger

I have never been a hugger. My childhood didn’t involve hugs or kisses. I can’t even remember my parents saying that they loved me. I vowed to be different with my kids and you know what – I am! I hug them (when they let me), I kiss them (when they let me) and mostContinue reading “I’m not a hugger”

Lockdown – Betty style ‘Day one’

Well, I was sent home yesterday from work and I am now at home for the foreseeable. When I got home yesterday evening I actually did some video calls (which I never do) to my brother and a good friend…. it actually made me feel really positive. I even had a celebratory Sherry! We’re notContinue reading “Lockdown – Betty style ‘Day one’”

Super mum?

Sorry I’ve not posted for a while – I’ve had issues going on and my mind has been elsewhere. When a problem arises at home, especially when it concerns my children it amazes me where I find the strength, the oomph, the energy to find an answer. I feel quite shit though because I’m goingContinue reading “Super mum?”

Life should have sound effects

Don’t you think life would be so much simpler if it had sound effects? Thinking about it, I think I try to do my own backing track – I always randomly burst out into song or have a song going on in my head, it’s normally music that I haven’t heard in a while…. butContinue reading “Life should have sound effects”
