Tuesday March 23rd 2004-I am 38 I have 2 children Living in Bradford West Yorkshire (Boarders Away!!)

I stir thinking to myself, what is that noise am i still dreaming or is this real. Oh no I'm not dreaming i can hear a familiar cry from the other room, mummy, mummy help me. I lay there for a short time thinking he will get up to him in a minute if i pretend to be asleep, but oh no he is playing my game. I stagger out of bed bleary eyed, hair all over unable to see where I'm going, I look at the clock I can't believe it's only 4.30am!!!! I walk into my 3 year olds bedroom, there he is half asleep himself trying to find his way around his bed to put his pillow in the right place again, but somehow unable to manage this small task in the dark, mummy to the rescue.

I lay him back down in his bed and as usual he wriggles right at the edge of the bed, I cover him up and give him a kiss. Night night mummy.

I walk back to my own room and think to myself, well i have still got 3 hours sleep so i crawl back into my own bed and curl up tight hoping that i will fall asleep quickly.

Beep, beep, beep. I open one eye and press my clock which illuminates on the ceiling it's 7.20am time to start the day again. I stagger to the bathroom and get dressed so as not to disturb anyone. I look out of the window what a glorious day, the sun is shining not a cloud in the sky, a typical early spring morning, this puts a spring in my step. I head downstairs thinking what a great day I'm going to have today even if i do have to go to work. Behind can hear small footsteps following me, I turn round to find my son just behind. Hello mummy it's not dark anymore, no I say let's go downstairs quietly so as not to wake daddy.

I prepare 2 breakfasts and then take them into the conservatory my son and I sit in silence eating our cereals. The sun is streaming in through the windows, it certainly feels like a summers day. I look out onto the garden even the birds sound happy this morning they are tweeting happy to be out in the warm air for a change, somehow they sound to be in the same mood as me. Has spring finally arrived i hope so.

Oh well time to go yet another day at work!!!!
