Nighty Night,
sleep tight,
don't let the bed bugs bite.
If they do,
take off your shoe,
and beat them till they're black and blue!
LOL, thats what my Grandmother would say.

So lovely to see you in the bosom of your family.
I hope your lovely girls did well in their exams
I know what you mean about the UK. I can't imagine living back there.
Nice for a visit in the summer.
Don't you just hate it when they tell you, My girl you look fat and nice and it's meant as a compliment?
I have been pissed off to many times so I usualy crash diet at least 2 months before i visit.
One Love

I feel that less money means less choices.Money definitelymakes the world go round but then you see people managing with no money andstill being happy so I have mixed thoughts on that comment.Money cannot buylove but it can buy a bit of fun and happiness!
I think I would need a lot of money to be totally happy inJamaica as there is so much to enjoy here, the nature and scenery and beauty isfree but entertainment and activities are not free.
As soon as I return all my cash will go straight back into aJamaica pot but I will have to think about how that will be spent next time.
I also have to keep my family happy and some of them prefer another country where every day is a fun day every day can be a tour day asfood is cheap and we easily upgrade to all inclusives and family tours are really cheap and fun and can be done daily with not even a thought of cost.
Some of you think I was wrong to sort of focus this holiday on myself but most did not realise that I was with the family from 7am til atleast 7pm usually 10pm when they were heading to bed so I did not miss a second of family time and this is MY first holiday to enjoy MYSELF.Its never really happened before, we travel around the world and all of my holidays except Jamaican holidays for the last 16 years almost have been total FAMILY ORIENTATED holidays, nannies, childrens club poolside family entertainment where we get upas a family and have to get involved in silly competitions and dances and win prizes or certificates,…extremely little to no alcohol gets consumed and we get on stage to do a winners umpa lumpa dance in an evening.After a full days of family activities which do not get me wrong they are great they are fun I enjoy those holidays but Jamaica is just a tiny slice of life for ME that I enjoy, my family like it too but probably me the most and it is the only slice of happiness I get just for me…so this time for the first time in 16 years mummy let her hair down and went to a few parties so what?slap my wrists lol.I havebeen a mother 24/7 for 16 years, never went out , never had a social life since forever so now the girls are about to finish high school and start college I just felt like letting my hair done as if to celebrate the fact we made it and are about to start a new chapter.
I have done 16 years of teletubbies and tweenies and singing to I am a Barbie girl and flying all over Europe with them getting involved in fancy dress and singing and dancing competitions and dressing as fairies and doing the goddamn umpa lumpa dance..again not knocking it but I am ready for something a little different and my son is not into all of that he is happy doing his fresh orange juice hunt and veg hunt and things in Jamaica he is morethan happy there and the girls are getting too big now to enjoy the Barbie girls and dressing as fairies thing.So I just decided we would all enjoy this holiday in our own ways doing our own thing as we are all now at big turning stages of our life and all expect different things from a holiday so we just made the best of it and it is hard sometimes trying to please everyone so come night time..For this one holiday out of 16 years worth of holidays I pleased myself for the first time ever.Cant say I did not enjoy it LOL , now I know what I missed all those years but I am still young enough to do it when my kids are all fully grown.
I have been a totally obsessive compulsive suffocating protecting mother all their lives, involved in every single extra curricular school activity and program, we have certificates coming out of our ears we were always in it to win it and always did and everywhere we went the mums knew my girls would win or come away with a prize!..Its almost all over , they leave high school, start college and mummy has to take a step back and let them do a bit of their own thing.They are rarely out of my sight , do not go away from where I can see or get hold of them within seconds at home and boys are still totally out of the question , People laugh at that so if I really have to deal with the fact that my kids are growing up , going to do their own thang and go out and have fun of their own, then hell, I must make sure I have had some fun too as I was too young to have fun when I had them..So I must have my time before they get theirs lol..Looks like it is coming soon!
So I had the time of my life just for those few short weeks in Jamaica out of 16 years of being a dedicated full time mum, not only to my own kids but to half the neighbourhoods too.
Quite nervous of the next stage in their life but life must go on.
Those countries they like to holiday have no Jamaican ways of life though, no Jamaican food, no music, no bands , no concerts, no Negril beach, no family, no friends, well we have some friends there but more acquaintances and I do not particularly enjoy the way women are treated assecond class citizens in some of those places so although I enjoy the sun andthe family fun .I miss Jamaica a lot when I am there.
Oh and the alcohol prices are way out of this world sky high LOL
The family are already talking about us all going there soon and taking some of my family at home there , which will be nice in a way but will take once again the funds from my Jamaica pot.
Some families I have met here just do their own thing, Onepart of the family goes where they want and the other goes elsewhere, we alwaysstick together though .They are happy to live here but as a holiday destinationsometimes I think they prefer elsewhere as they get a lot more for their moneyin terms of days out and dining experiences.
Whereas I could manage on a next to zero budget I need very little money to be happy in Jamaica mac and cheese 90j for FOUR meals patties90j coco bread 50j water FREE beach FREE swimming FREE walking dancing laughingtalking FREE. Sunshine FREE and I would just get a low cost room.But I have to cater to everyone and not just myself.
The sun has come up and today is a new day, I hope things settle down so we can just chill with the family.I want to sunbathe outside but have no lounger and the chairs from indoors will get sun damage so I am going to work on this problem today LOL Life is good when over Christmas and new year the only major problem you have is finding something to sunbathe on!

Yesterday the cats got some fish, they were too busy fighting over it so the dog trotted in picked it up between his teeth and trotted out again LMAO
My son always loves using the blender at home for fresh smoothies he is very clever and I do not know properly how to use it yet but he does and he is fruit mad and he comes up with clever potions he is my fresh organic non-alcoholic bartender he is crazy good , so today he got some oranges from his grandparents tree and he made himself a fresh orange woieeeee go on son you clever little man. I never think of picking things and making things from trees or the ground I guess I am so used to buying things in packets but my son has been coming here all his life and he picks up real fast so he loves the nature part and is very interested in how things grow and work and how you can make things and survive off the land. I hope he learns more fast as he teaches me sometimes, It is all very interesting. There is so much to learn here though it would take me more than 6 weeks to learn it all. I need to be here living it to fully understand it I think.
There is a huge ackee tree here and I want some ackee andsaltfish not had any yet this trip but I am told they are not ready or open yet and I have to wait. Maybe not ready while I am here see its things like that Iwant to know, how long do they take to open FEED ME NOW!
My sister in law has not left the kitchen since we arrived I have told her to sit down and turn everything off.It all takes so long.Forget the food we should have something easy and quick or all go out.We are definitely going out for food tomorrow and we are having the party at my nieces on Saturday.

Family stuff we had to do here is almost done and Jamaica is not as easy as I would like to think!
Things always crop up and prices rise and issues pop up and try to scare you around each and every corner.I think you really do have to know what you want and where you are going and have a strong character to livein Jamaica as a foreigner if not……… YOU GOING HOME!...LOL
Probably meek mild and scared lol Not in a crying scared really frightened way but in a OMG can this be happening way because all sorts of things we take for granted in foreign are never quite so easy here and just when you least expect it a drama can pop up if you are unprepared or have not done your research or nobody has taught you.
