Reasons to be Cheerful (#R2BC)

It's been quite a while since I've taken part in this linky.  This week it is being hosted by Becky at Lakes Single Mum while Michelle is promoting the #OneMums campaign in which she travelled over to Ethiopia and met some remarkable people.

As you can probably tell from my last couple of posts, I'm feeling pretty rubbish at the moment and struggling with the boys behaviour.  This is why I have decided to take part on R2BC this week, to remind myself of the good things that going on.

  • Next week my hubby is off work for the whole week.  Whilst this might not mean that the school runs will be much better, it does mean that I won't be tackling them on my own.
  • Next Tuesday, my sister has offered to take a day off work so that she can pick the boys up from school so that me and hubby can have a day to ourselves.  I am really looking forward to it.  We're going to take advantage of my staff pass and head off to Thorpe Park for the day, where hubby will try to persuade me to go on all of the big rides!
  • Despite Noah's tantrums getting worse, Aled's behaviour is getting much better and his meltdowns are nowhere near as bad as they were a year ago.
  • Lastly, half term is getting closer.  I can't wait for a whole week of no school runs!
Well, that's me for this week.  Why not check out the linky below for other bloggers reasons to be cheerful this week.

    1. Hiya, thanks for your comment. I'm hoping we will take it in turns next week and can leave the youngest at home whilst the other one of us picks up Aled. x

  4. Loads to look forward to (can I have a sister like that?) but I really feel for you and empathise with the tantrum issues. Most things are phases and will pass - even if it feels like n eternity now :)
