Sometimes It Snows in April - and it DID in 2013 - 4th April 2013

Sometimes it snows in April
And this year it did just that

We wondered where Spring was
It was the theme of many a chat

In Ireland cattle were starving
Grass grows if the sun shines

People who could afford it
were off to sunnier climbs

Sometimes it snows in April
It was a day I'll never forget

off to do some photocopying
for a day in court I'll soon get.

Our children have had more days in
when they should have been outside

But Summer's round the corner
So Sun start shining, not a time to hide

We've been patient while we've waited
It's been a source of talk

But Spring and Summer are meant to be
A time to get outside and walk

Don't worry Spring
You're forgiven

We don't hold grudges round here

But make sure it's the last time
We don't want a repeat next year!

If you wanna make the world a better place, then look at yourself and make that change!

Michael Jackson's Man In the Mirror - You Tube Video WITH LYRICS

I have done a lot of soul searching today, and mostly hummed the above, a lot.

Had to hum it because as much as I have heard it through the years, I did not know the lyrics.

Please watch the above you tube video; if you are like me, you know the song really well but NOT the lyrics.

That's why I have chosen a you tube vid that comes with them :-)

Look how apt they are, even to the point of putting on a winter coat (it is VERY cold out there right now).

Anyway, I found that the time I was spending online was not doing anybody any good, and hey, if it is not improving the world of you or your readers why bother. So no more!

I am entering a new world.  My new home is over at Conscious Mum, but I will of course still blog here too.

So, what change are YOU making? What is your person in the mirror up to? What have the winds of change blown up or blown away for you? If you have a new website, new blog, or a blog post that shows you've made a change, feel free to link it up below.

I know there is a whole new vibe in the blogging world at present and it is heart warming to see.

While I was writing this post I felt inspired to write a poem, so I just rustled up the below.

Forgive me it was done quickly and with Ice Age 4 on in the background it is not necessarily a literary masterpiece but hopefully it gives you an insight into my feelings.

I want to feel uplifted

When I come online

I want to feel connected

To know I will be fine

I want to find the friendships

That keep me warm inside

I want to go on out there

And no longer want to hide

I want to find some people

Who like me feel the same

I want to get to know you

and be glad that you came

So pull up a chair

take a seat,

Let's laugh a while,

Let's have a brew

Let's go online

Let's be sublime

Let's laugh

Let's be as NEW

A Poem For Healing - Multiple Mummy - #Healing4Kerry

Alice from My Life My Son My Way, sent me the below poem late last night.  Me and Tired Mummy of Two made some tweaks to it, but it came from Alice's heart and was her idea.  She then turned it into a poster at about 1 a.m. last night.

We thought you may like to use it as the foundation for your blog post on 24th November 2012; entirely up to you.

We're conscious that not everyone has memories of Kerry that they can draw upon, or recall in a blog post, but a simple post with the below poem on 24th November 2012 and your prayers/thoughts/meditations on 24th November at 22:00 is all that's needed.

#Healing4Kery

I look forward to us all thinking of Kerry on Saturday, and tweeting at #Healing4Kerry and most importantly, having her home in time for Christmas.

Because more than anything I want her at home with her gorgeous family for Christmas and not in a hospital, I keep humming this:

If you are wondering what I am talking about with all of the above, all the details are in my last post.

Merry Christmas To My Son - Aaron's First Christmas

I have written the below straight off the top of my head this morning.


It is original and I retain copyright.

Aaron's First Christmas

Merry Christmas Aaron,

You'll make this Christmas real

As the day is nearly upon us,

It's for you I really feel

A trip to the shop for presents,

for all the people on my list...

Became a trip for Aaron

things for him I could not resist.

The shops then closed, 

The list not ticked.

Gifts that were listed 

had not been picked.

When a Mum has her first born,

He's such a joy in her heart

He takes over her life

Christmas... where do you start.

The snow's been pretty,

The heating's been warm.

Inside we've stayed

No pavements we've worn.

As a result, 

less presents we've bought,

But the real meaning of Christmas

to me it has taught.

When Jesus was born,

he was a gift in himself.

So Aaron you are 

My Santa

My Elf.

Love you,

Mum
