Welcome

Hi
I thought I would start this blog and join the clan of bloggers p
This is going to be my journey of life and home education. I cannot guarantee laughter, humour or excitement that other blogs seem to provide me at least.
What I can administer is an insight into me and my life, so some may find it remotely interesting, others may just give me a wide berth.
So what can i tell you about me???? Ok, i am nearing the age of no return, where life is supposed to begin, (not sure now with the Swine Flu pandemic), obsessive mother of three and a mad partner to Simon. My journey of life up to now has been varied and like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs. So nothing different to you all so far.
I trained as a nurse and worked up the ranks until i became a manager. I hated it to be honest as nursing is not what it used to be,now full of legislation and red tape, the care of mankind seems to be placed on the back burner for many. Feeling very disheartend in 2001, I toddled off to University to study a degree in English and History. It was like being reborn, well ok maybe slight exaggeration there, but it was a great experience. Not only did I attain a degree in that time, i also got divorced, had a break down, inflicted ink onto my body , lost lots of weight, met some amazing friends, dyed my hair red, met my present partner, and got to wear the cap and gown.
Wow that was a brief glimpse!!
SO in 2004 i was offered a post as a home manager in a big nursing group, Yes i said NURSING,and this i did for a further year. I was intent to change the nursing structure, well in my homes anyway. hmmmm how wrong i was. After a year of 80 hour weeks near enough, my body and mind could take no more and decided to give me a dose of Hashimotos disease and anaemia. I could take noooo moreeeee.
It was the best thing and the worst really. Best because it enabled me to follow my purposes in life, (yes plural purposes, i have more than one) that being, my spiritual pathway and tutoring and watching my children blossom.
I have just stopped part time lecturing in, wait for it….. nursing, to teach my youngest at home and run the spiritual centre.
Yes life still has ups and downs but I am happy for what i have and what i have achieved. I am amazingly skint financially but rich in life . That could sound cheesy to some but i mean it!!
My reasons for home educating my youngest was not really to do with the education system but the realisation that I was missing so much. She had a rare tumour removed from her head in April of this year, life since then has never been the same. She requested to be home schooled and i thought, Why the hell not? Each day is a challenge of teaching, and working. I work every night in the centre plus monday morning and other days as required, during the day i assist ‘A’ and sort the paperwork.
Ok are you asleep yet??
Last but not least…… ” 2 dogs, 1 parrot and 1 fish. Hobbies are singing, writing, reading, being nosey into other peoples lives xx
