If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name.After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers.At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name.(Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details.



my middle name is Lesley


L is for laughter, I love to have a good laugh with my family and friends, i believe I am the source of their laughter on occasions too!

The F word

I would imagine that when you all saw that you thought of a four letter word which seems to have worked its way into everyday language. i have to say I hate the word!
But thinking about it so many good things start with the letter F , Fun, Family, Friends.....
and its Family and Friends that I would like us all to think about, people say that "we can't choose our family but we can choose our friends", "friends are the family we'd choose ourself" whatever aren't we lucky to have both?
I don't talk much about my family on here but that does not mean that they are not special to me, sometimes they drive me round the bend but I wouldn't be without them. We've had our moments, my husband left me when the boys were 7 and 5 respectively, it was a very difficult time and I don't think I'll ever forget how I felt when he told me he was leaving. He was away for two years and my relationship with my boys grew so strong. Things didn't work out for him and we both decided we would give it another try..we are still together now , and the boys are 24 and 23. It wasn't a decision either of took likely and learning to trust again was so very hard..even now sometimes I wonder......
6 years ago my eldest son had a terrible accident playing football, he was put on a life support machine, I had to watch my beautiful boy being kept alive by a machine, the noise of that machine still haunts me to this day, seeing him lie there so lifeless I wondered why, why my son, why now, why why why...I was fortunate enough that he made a full recovery and cherish every moment withhim and all my family. You never know what is around the corner, so make the most of your time together. We have our problems like other familes but I feel blessed that we are all together and can work through any problems and worries we may have.
Then there's my other family , my family of friends..my dear friends who share my laughter and my tears, who are always there for me in good times and in bad, my friends who make my life complete.

So thanks to you all for you make me what I am......


now go and have some FUN!!!!!!!
