my sweet squirrel

what it's not ...

I know what this is
I know what it's not
I know what I gave
I know what I got
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
while you made an art
out of yes meaning no

me and Leo

Moonstruck

Rainbow walk

Playing scrabble with Zach...

Zach: Oh if only I had a U, a C and a K ... I've got this F I don't know what to do with!

noises off ...

sounds of something breaking in the other room

Zach (calling from the said other room) :  it's ok I can fix it!

Teenage attention span

J: Hey Zach I'm just taking Leo out for a walk, could you turn the oven off in 15 minutes please.
Zach: Ok - 15 minutes, turn oven off. That'll be half past six. I'll set a timer for 15 minutes on my computer
J: Thanks honey

15 minutes later. 

Text from Zach : what was it I was supposed to do when the timer went off?

Happy Days

Richie: Fonzie I've got a problem
Fonzie: Well now you've got a 2nd problem
Richie: What's that?
Fonzie: I ain't interested in your 1st problem 

one-night stand recurring

 I said 'it's only for tonight...'
You said 'that's fine by me ...
but a one-night stand recurring

would sit more comfortably'

Well you're the mathematician

so take it and repeat it

but only a magician

could have their pi and eat it

When the stars all ran for cover

did your heart just miss a beat

did you hope it wasn't over

did you lose a bit of sleep?

Or did you get a little jumpy

when I broke the golden rule

and this stupid heartbreak junkie

went and fell in love with you?

our fox baby

Buy this book - it's brilliant!

fish food

Zach : I've decided to become a piscatarian
J: Oh great so we can have fish for dinner...
Zach : NO!!!
J: Why not?
Zach : because I don't really like fish!
J : then why not just be a vegetarian?
Zach : because I want to have the option of eating fish if I want to
J : even though you probably never will?
Zach : exactly!
J: so what do you want for dinner tonight?
Zach : err ... I really fancy sausages and mash
J : so you're not becoming a piscatarian today then...?
Zach : probably not....

Short week

Zach walking out the door on the way to catch the school bus after the Easter holidays
Zach: God I hate Mondays
J: Well that's ok then because it's Tuesday!
Zach: OH GOD!
J: Hang on did you think it was Monday and pack all the wrong books for school?
Zach: Yep!

Summer's coming..

Never thought I'd be so far from you when I laid my head to sleep
but sometimes hearts make promises that feet don't always keep
Never thought that loving you 'd hurt more than leaving you behind
but peace is so much easier now you're not messing up my mind

There's method in my madness
There's seasons in my sadness
and with summer coming baby
I don't need your 'ok...maybe..'

Leo and Einstein

driving home from school

J: quick Zach - take a picture of that on my phone...

Monty Python

Zach: mum have you ever heard of Monty Python?
J: er... yes! I grew up watching Monty Python. Why?
Zach: I've just been watching them on youtube ... they're soooo funny - watch this!

Wolf watch

apocalypse toe

Zach : Mum do you know what the worst kind of apocalypse would be?
J : they'd all be pretty bad I'd imagine!
Zach : well it wouldn't be Zombies or alien invasion
J : ok...
Zach: it'd be if everything was positioned at an annoying distance to you so that you stubbed your toe all the time!
J : have you just stubbed your toe again by any chance?
Zach : yes and it bloody hurts!

trust rusts...

X : I think we should do some trust exercises to help our relationship grow
J : oh ok how about we live together for years and I trust you not to sleep with every woman you meet...  Oh hang on we did that already and you failed miserably
X : now I think EVERY woman is a a bit of an exaggeration!  Besides I think you're underestimating the healing power of you
J : really?  Actually I think that you're over -estimating the forgiving power of me...

14 February

the assistant app on my phone offered to be my valentine ... I felt that was rubbing it in ever so slightly

less is more...

even after all these years
all the heartbreaks, all the tears
all your convoluted lies
all our many sad goodbyes
if I'm pressed, I must confess
that I don't love you any less...

I can't love you any more...

I can't love you any more
did you think there'd always be
a way back to my door?
Did you think I wouldn't see
the distance in your eyes
every time you told your lies?

Used to listen to your heart
beating softly while you'd sleep
now the only thing I hear
are the promises we couldn't keep
'I'll love you till the day I die'
I'll never ever ask you why'
I'll be your one and only'
I'll never leave you lonely'
Now one thing I know for sure
is I can't love you any more...

Used to keep your picture on my wall
but I don't kiss it any more
In my mind you stood so tall
from that height you had to fall...
You were the hero in my head
the sweetest sleeper in my bed

Used to listen to your heart
beating softly while you'd sleep
now the only thing I hear
are the promises we couldn't keep
'I'll love you till the day I die'
I'll never ever ask you why'
I'll be your one and only'
I'll never leave you lonely'
Now one thing I know for sure
is I can't love you any more...
