About Me

My photo
Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!

Words

A think I thought today was that I like Words.

Some words just sound lovely! “Gastronomic” “Amazing” "Sparkly" "Sale!"

I love the words seriously and actually and use them all the time.  I find it amazing that people have words or phrases they use as part of their everyday conversation.  My friend Mrs S uses “Divine” to describe things, my ex boss, Dr F “Hey Ho”, my mum, Mrs B “really?” my husband, Mr D “how much?”

Words are a powerful thing.  Little words can mean a lot and big words can mean nothing. 

Take the biggest little word there is “Sorry” fits the above perfectly can mean a lot said in the right way but without feeling, compassion or truth means nothing! Every day I experience the latter, sorry used to appease but not meant and it infuriates me. 

A wise student once said to me “I will not say sorry because I don’t mean it, if you say something you should mean it and I won’t so I can’t”.  I had to admire the honesty!!!! Although it didn’t help her cause!
Enough of sorry for now though............. .....

I  also like phrases or bites of wisdom:
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that is why it is the present”
“Dream, Believe, Achieve”
“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world”
“ que sera sera”
“carpe diem”
“onwards and upwards”
 “reach for the stars and even if you fail you’ll reach the moon”

Sometimes it is hard to find the right words and no words are better than insincere platitudes.  Don’t say what you think someone wants to hear, be honest and even if they don’t like it eventually they will thank you for it.  If you can’t think of what to say a hug goes a long way!

Words mean a lot to me and if you want to make me happy send me a card with a saying on that made you think of me, send me a text to tell me you are thinking of me, email me a joke that you think I’ll like or ring me for a chat just because!

And one final thing if you are ever bored see how many words you can make from “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” 474 was my record!!!!
