Looking For The Positive

Good morning Bellas...

This is going to be a brand new blog about everything to do with life, sharing all the good times and also all the hard times and real life struggles I go through and people in general life go through on a daily basis.  So lets get started with a little bit about me...

My name is Lyndsay and I am a 32 year old single mother of Two, Tyler and Eden.  Tyler is 10 years old and Eden is 7.  I can honestly say I have never known love like the one I have for these two children.  When I had Eden I didn't think I would be able to give her the same kind of love that I had for Tyler, not that I didn't love her because I did with all my heart but I was scared that I couldn't love anyone the same.  Low and behold I think my heart grew and they are both my world...On a realistic note though, they also drive me insane, hahaha...

I am a mum who works also, I am a support worker for people with Learning Disabilities, Brain Injuries and Mental Health.  I love the job, it is extremely hard work but in a lot of ways rewarding.

When I am not working and looking after my children I am also my mums full time carer.  I did live with my mum till May 2015 and the reason I moved out was because I have three sisters and one brother...none of which lived with my mum, or helped with my mum but thought it was ok to dictate and constantly try and tell me what to do.  The stress of them constant nagging (not all of them, just one of them who thinks they rule the world) I decided for my own state of mind and happiness that I would move out into my own place with my children, and that is exactly what I did...

I found a 4 bedroom house and bit by bit I moved most of my stuff out of my mums.  Now don't get me wrong I still have things in my mums, several units and bits and bobs, but with having zero help from my family I am just taking my time with it and not stressing myself out.  However in 2017 and I am making it my lifes mission to get myself sorted in my house.  Im running off on a tangent here, hahaha...so I moved out in the May, in the October my mum came to mine to stay over for a night and ended up staying for 8 months, hahaha.   She missed the kids and people being around her, which when she was at home she didn't have, as no one went to see her apart from me and I had loads to sort out with the house.

My mum went home for a couple of months with some of the family chipping in but the one that rules the world began to cause problems again, moaning about doing my mums tea a couple of times a week...mum got a cold and everyone basically didn't want to sit with her and look after her as there lives seem to be more important than there mum, so guess what, I took her back to mine and she has been here ever since.  Her cold went weeks ago with lots of love and tender care :) but she is still here 6 weeks later haha...

What boring and depressing first post, I promise not all my posts are going to be like this, there is going to be family posts, single girl posts, foody posts, you name it, its going to be here...

I am also contemplating on starting up a Youtube channel, what do you think?

Much Love
