31 Day Challenge - Day 5 - 10 Songs I Love Right Now
On day 5 now I'm catching up!! This is a good one, here's 10 songs I love at the moment in no particular order !!
31 Day Challenge - Day 4- What am I afraid of?
I am not very fond of heights, I'm not too bad once I am up high there its just getting there and back down again. I am also developing a flying fear, had a couple of bad experiences so now I get extremely nervous when flying anywhere. I have a fear of dying, much the same as Emma of Boy oh Boy, its weird actually reading Emma's post, I'm very much the same and when I was younger I use to re-assure myself the same way. I don't think about it every day but at least once a week. I am more afraid of something happening to my children. A terrible thing happened in Dublin 2 weeks ago, A 2 year old boy died after falling from an apartment balcony and I felt sick hearing it on the news, I can't imagine what that poor family is going through. I use to have a terrible fear of moths and spiders, but strangely enough they don't bother me much anymore.

I stumbled upon this challenge today, on at
boyboyandme.blogspot.co.uk although it started on the 1st May I
really wanted to join I am a bit late starting but hoping to catch up with
everyone else within next few days!!
Day 1 – Introduction and recent photo
My name is Sue I’m 32 and I’m a stay at home mum to my 2
little angels/monsters 2 year old Jack
and to 7 month old Lucy. I am originally from Colchester in England but have been living in Dublin the last 10 years. I
have been with my partner (John) 7 years. I have only recently started blogging
so I’m a real newbie at it. So thought this challenge would be great to
motivation to get some interesting stuff up on my blog.
I love coffee (lots of it), reading (when I get the chance),
running (my outlet).. I have dabbled with
card making and other crafts but unfortunately I am just not getting the time to
indulge in these at the moment. I am finding I have a new love of photography (
well taking photos of my children !!). My new addiction is pinterest, seriously

Really looking forward to getting to know other bloggers
through this challenge.. What a great idea!! Thanks to Emma at

Father & Son - Picmonkey
Found this photo editing site called PicMonkey having fun playing around with some of my photos on it. I'm still learning though. This was originally a bad quality photo that was taken on my phone, now it looks kinda cool.
This is my 2 men putting the world to rights!!

Make Termination for Medical Reasons Available in Ireland
I have just read a post from mama.ie called Incompatible with Life which is about the terrible treatment of women in Ireland who are
given the awful news that their unborn babies have a condition deemed
incompatible with life and that their babies will either die before they are
born or very shortly after birth. These women are given 2 choices either to “let
nature take its course” or to travel to UK to get the pregnancy terminated.
Irish legislation does not allow for these women to have
these terminations carried out in their own country, in their own hospital,
surrounded by their family and friends instead they have the extra trauma of
arranging travel to another country to have the procedure carried out and also
having to travel home after having the heart-breaking procedure done, when I’m
sure the only place they want to be is in their own home to grieve.
There is also a very good article in the Irish Times about a
group of women who have been through this awful ordeal and who have come together to start a campaign to Make Termination
for Medical Reasons Available in Ireland.
You can find the campaign to legalise termination services for medical reasons in Ireland on Facebook: Make Termination for Medical Reasons Available in Ireland. Or you can sign their petition on the link below
If you or someone you know have had or are thinking about termination for medical reasons, a new support group has been set up: http://www.

Hilarious!
I seen this on Facebook from Eumom.ie, and had just to share it!!
A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?...
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'
