Blog award and a curious co-incidence.

I've been nominated for a blog award byBearium. if I can work out how to link to it!! which I cant so I cant show it!!!

now on to the curious incidences;
Sam was 19 on 28th August 1989. he was born on bank Holiday Monday at 9am, at 36 weeks. I was niggling on and off with sharp but irregular pains for 36 hours before I finally gave in and went to the hospital. I knew I wasnt in labour because of the contractions and also being a midwife I'd managed by some amazing feet on contortion to find my cervix and knew it wasnt dialting. ANyway On the sunday night I was at home, niggling with pains with a hot water bottle on my bump watching 'GoodMorning Vietnam' with Robin Williams. LAst Sunday 2008 I noticed on the TV at exactly the same time the same Film wsa showing!! boy did that bring some meories back!!!
Another curious thing. Mum lent me a book, 'The Pirates Daughter' by Somebody with a long double barrelled name!!! Not a very good book in my iponion, very overated. But the main characters were called Ida and May which was the name of my late , beloved grandma.

Knitting- I'm working on IVy still. I'm a very slow knitter. I'm off to i-knit today cant wait.

The lastest 'fun' not-thing to happen is that I've got stuck in the bath twice now and been unable to get out!! its a good job Norman was home on Monday as I had no phone by me and would have sat there cold and wet for 4 hours until someone came home from school!!
I've now learnt to take a chair, phone, phone book and towel in incaes it happens again. I hope wwe dont end up with a bath contraption for lowering me in. my body is falling apart!!!


Home
school has re-started and Josh seems o.k. he seems to have got through his first week without any detentions or IRIS points!!! Its hilarious watching Rachel as she's started the sixth form and doesnt wear uniform, so every dau its adifferent poutfit and does this amtch and does that go with this etc, then its 10 mins for the make-up, so amny minutes for the hair etc!!! She's going to school when all said and done, not a fashion parade!!! its been very entertaining. Josh is back to straightening his hair and spraying aftershave all over the house!!! still at least he's clean.
