Well I've made it to the end of the first week!! I did have thoughts of running away when the work kept coming and coming and coming....."Why did I decide to do this?" screamed in my head, but I'm still there. The early mornings are not agreeing with me, but given time they might get better, I'm not looking to the early mornings in the winter and the snow's on the ground.
Kynan has had his first week {well three days} at nursery whilst I'm in my lectures. They all love him there, and they all have had their cuddles. He has taken it all in his stride with a couple of cheeky grins and big wide eyed stares. Its handy knowing that he's on site if there's ever a problem. The wife is abit worried and is experiencing a little separation anxiety and still experiencing 'baby brain' and arguing over who's the most tired.
We had a review this morning about what we thought of this first week. The points we raised are going to be looked at and then used to fine tune the course for next years influx. Hope it helps them, but they'll still probably feel the same anxieties that we felt this first week. If student finance would just get their acts together I would feel a little more secure, but everything in its own time.
I'm looking forward to having a little rest over the weekend, but with everything else going on I don't think I'll have much, and hopefully the cat will be quiet tonight instead of moaning every five seconds. To Sleep!!
Till Next Time

First Day at Uni
My first day at Uni. What can I say? I enjoyed it but was a little anxious as its a big step, its the next four years and is going to give me a nice chunk of debt, all for wanting to better myself and give my family a better life.
Allot of information given, it made sense at the time yet my brain seemed to forget it as soon as I walked through my front door. What do I need to do for the Study Skills???
Today was kind of similar to the final months of the Access course, everything was coming thick and fast, it was a shame that my brain just couldn't keep up. One thing that I should have remembered today was a memory stick for backing up work and allowing me to work on it at home.
Having Kynan in nursery was strange, I became a little anxious and worried, although I think that some of that had been absorbed from my wife. After a week or two she should settle, it's strange how different people express their feelings and over which subjects. Barrie Orton you managed to get the psychology gears turning and they make you look at things differently. Always questioning things.
Today has been so tiring, hopefully after a couple of days it will get better, but I have a feeling it'll be a couple of weeks

A few things have happened since my last entry. My daughter has had her birthday and is now a Lady, she really enjoyed the day. I enjoyed spending some extra time with her and my other son {he's currently planning what he wants for his birthday}.
We have been invited to my parents house, they even gave me their address. Don't know what was up with my dad, he was being nice! Maybe they've changed his meds or something!?!
It has taken awhile, but I finally had my acceptance to Uni through. With a weeks notice my preparation for Uni was abit more stressful than planned. But by the grace of the Goddess we managed to get childcare for Kynan sorted. It's going to cost a pretty penny, but its a good place and they're well trained, so he should be happy there.
Summer holidays have been nice, but also busy with Kynan, the other two sprogs and my nan. Hopefully I'll be able to fit all my commitments around my Uni timetable and still have time for myself. I can hear the clapping as I get ready for another juggling act!

Hello out there
Hello to every one out there, having somehow lost access to my last blog, I thought I'd start another one, the other can be seen at http://ramblingsofacelticdad.blogspot.com/ This entry introduced my youngest son Kynan, my first with my wife, but I do have two other children from a previous relationship, so Kynan's already got a built in big brother and an even bigger sister.
We've just had the in-laws down, they've enjoyed spending time with all the children and being grandparents, we even had Granddad feeding and winding the little one! They're wonderful to my other two as well, and we even took a family trip out to Twycross, that was an interesting day out. It went from dry to drizzle to torrential down poor at a snap-of-the-fingers. The kids enjoyed looking at all the animals, I enjoyed seeing the Amur leopards which I sponsor in the wild through the WWF. Kynan fitted in really well as he was dressed in his leopard spot travel suit. The Scottish wildcats were amazing, it was nice to see them as they can be allusive and are rumoured to be on our estates in Scotland.
Talking of our estates, Kynans paperwork came through and he's now a Lord and have gotten all his things changed to his new title. His granddad is giving some mild stick trying to say he's English because his mother is, I think he's starting to realise that he'll never win that argument with me or my daughter as she has already started to tell him that he's wrong and Scotland is best, quite funny to watch!!
