Today it snowed, for the love of Peter Beardsley, it's MARCH!!! Thankfully it had all disappeared by 4pm , so the drive home was not as stressful as I was dreading.

My eldest step daughter got her school report today, and it was better than we anticipated, though still not all she can acheive, so she is awaiting the arrival of her father with equal measures of dread and acceptance of her fate, oh to be 13 again!

I attended Toastmasters and still cannot get my shaking to stop, people comment on how confident I appear, though I assume they are being kind as I think I must look a nervous wreck, but still proud that I overcome my fear and face the challenge.

My freind made me feel good today, without realising it. I have always been conscious that I have a loud voice, and yet today she commented that I need to speak up! Following my 7 years in the desert I had come away with the belief that I am Foghorn Leghorn, and it it always pleases me when people dismiss the assumption, I know that they are just being kind, but they will never realise how much it means to me. Chipping away at the misconceptions laid in place over 7 years.

Anyways I am now off to have a soak as it is my Hubbies turn to cook ....so that will be pizza then LOL.
