It's been deathly silent on the UKSaffa blog for the past 6 months which of course means that life has been kicking me square in the tenders repeatedly and not allowing me time to breath. I do like Life, but I do also feel that sometimes it's a little schizo,
The morning struggle
Since my boy started high school, the funny episodes in the morning have slowed down considerably. It could be because hormones are turning him into a younger, male version of me, i.e grumpy, doesn't do well in the mornings, hates sunlight... you understand.
