Hormonal Rollercoaster!!!
I was sitting with the kids and Mr L this evening watching ‘School Choir of the Year’, hardly riveting viewing but Ray seems to love watching all the kids singing their hearts out. I started to think about when the kids grow up a bit and how I would feel watching them on stage at an event like that and how proud I would be. All of a sudden my eyes welled up and I started to cry.
In my head I knew how stupid it was, I mean they weren’t even wee kids, there were a pack of about 100 spotty teenagers singing ‘All That Jazz’ from Chicago. They weren’t cute, they didn’t make me go “ahhhh” but there I was blubbing like a baby. Mr L though it was hilarious and the kids just though I was weird.
I’m hoping its a pregnancy thing, caused by raging hormones and all that, otherwise I would seriously have to suspect that I am going insane!
Yeah, I couldn’t bear to see a wee one sing in church or elswhere, I would well up. Mind you, I still do and I am not pregnant. Just proud, even if they are not my children. I feel proud about the creativity we all have and the way it is expressed.
Wow, that was a big change in your blog!

Just to chime in - I get a bit teary-eyed about these things too! Not so much about the School Choirs, but I had a big lump in my throat watching Meet Joe Black at the weekend.
Esther, we wanted more of a Northern Irish stamp on the blog rather than the earlier design, which was quite generic. Hope you like it!
