Eight years ago, almost to the day. Hubby left his life in Canada to share it with mine.

We had no money then and didn't know what the future would hold?

But, we have had sometimes a great life and sometimes we have struggled. BUT through all the trials we have loved each other and laughed at the hard times.

Life is kind of hard now. NO money, and no work, but you know what? we can still get by. And I am so looking forward to my new adventure.

I want to experience what it is like to live in the Frozen North.

Dawg is coming with, and I think that NO.1 Son will follow. He is so keen to know what life is like there.

We might be on this stupid little planet through loads of life times.

BUT you know what? This time. I have been loved. By Hubby, Son and Dawg and that is enough for me.

They care about me and that is all a person can ask for?

And I am prepared to take the jump. Hubs and I were walking Dawg this evening and he said "So? You're really cool to go?"

I said. You know what? Yeah. England is well overcrowded. I WILL outlive you and end up either in a hospital suffering from MRSA or a nursing home where they'll hit me cause they don't understand my sense of humour.

PS. In Canada they won't get it either, they will just wipe my chin and think I'm crazy...........................

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Pee yourself and everyone around you will say Euuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Well, it was No.1 Sons 22nd birthday today. I know, I know. I berated my ex mother in law for having a baby that close to Christmas. My ex's birthday is 20th December and I went one better. Uh. Ok? But common sex is sex and if you have a couple of glasses of wine and you're married. Well Hey? you get a baby at Christmas time.

Enough already. So. We are skint and I told him that he would only get a card, a hug and a big dinner. That kid is so cool and he said.. OK Mom, so what? I don't need things. Bless..................

This morning, I wasn't at my best. I was listing all our stuff to sell in the local newspaper and suddenly thought!! OOOOOOOOOOOOh The Birthday card. So I found it and signed it. Sadly I signed it with my Christian Name and Hubbys. Then though oh F*ck. I couldn't cross it out coz that would have messed it up.

So I wrote underneath. Mum, I meant Mum!! Son opened it, hugged me and laughed his ass off. As he said. Oh Mum, that IS so you, and that card is such a keeper.

Got to love that kid.............................
