When your patience runs out…
I had to make the decision to publish text messages at the
weekend from the #twittertroll.I really hated doing it but sometimes you have
to fight even if you don’t want to as my wise son pointed out to me. I can’t do
with mind games, my ex-husband played them and they are more dangerous than
physical violence. Now, I understand where all this stems from my son being
awarded a sports scholarship which is ridiculous as he has EARNED it. This is
the very last time this will be mentioned as I have no time for lies and petty
high school behaviour.
This article is a
brilliant article which explains a lot about how scholarships are awarded. https://www.competitivedge.com/ugly-truth-about-parental-jealousy-youth-sports.
I have realised that you cannot reason with jealousy, hatred and stupidity so I am not even going to try. There are dishonest people in this world and the truth has a funny way of working to the surface of all the grime. Forcing the issue, however unpleasant it seems now, means it has come to a head and I can get peace and quiet. I have assurances now all the lies, nasty comments and pathetic behaviour will stop which is a result as far as I am concerned and that assurance is way better than an apology.My account is public so that my followers can join me on my fantastic new journey and I hope everyone can see what I am all about.
All I want to do is earn a decent living, bring my boys up the right way and enjoy my new career. I don't think that is too much to ask for.
I can’t do with mind games, my ex-husband played them and they are more dangerous than physical violence. I only highlight it to show others that it does go on and that, by talking about it you can stop it or get help to stop it. It's been a horrible time and I hope now it is over.
I accept but don't understand how adults can be jealous of a child following his dreams.

Hands up all those people who knew exactly what they wanted
at the age of sixteen and actually went out to get it for themselves? I am
incredibly proud that my son has a very clear path, of his own choosing and know how
he is going to do to achieve HIS goals. What more can a Mum want or need? All
this negativity just drives him on to be better and I love that determination.
I don’t know who he gets it from (brushing my shoulder proudly!). IT IS VERY SIMPLE – work hard and have the right
attitude including humility. My son has these in abundance. END OF.
Quote of the week came
during Prime Minister’s Question Time on Wednesday. The speaker of the house,
John Berkow called sneering MPs a bunch of ‘juveniles’ which would be funny but
for the fact that it’s an insult to juveniles and these people are actually
running our country!
I think you all know by now how deep my love and support is for Liverpool Football Club and the Justice for the 96 campaign. Listening to the pen portraits this week was harrowing for me so goodness knows how the families got through them. I am in awe of their strength and dignity and I know they will keep strong and keep fighting.
For thirty years (and the rest…!) I have been a Ferrari fan. Like all the Tifosi I was devastated to hear of Michael Schumacher’s accident. We were lucky enough to be at the French Grand Prix in 2002 when he won the F1 title for the record breaking fifth time. It was great to hear some positive news and I hope and prayer he pulls through.
Talking of praying, I attended the Easter service at our
local church with my youngest son’s school. I am not a religious person but do believe
in Christian values. The service was really lovely with all the children
actively participating. The Vicar asked the children
to think of how the Easter story would relate to their own lives. That got me
thinking. No matter how low things go, you do have the power to pick yourself
back up and rise again!!
Paul’s fundraising efforts
We have a new blog for Paul’s fundraising efforts and all
events will be posted to it as and when they are organised. Watch out for a
blog over the next day or two that will explain who is helping Paul in his
commendable year. The blog address is http://givingplentytotwenty.blogspot.co.uk
Even the smallest amount can make a difference.
Beyond the Past
The sequel to Beyond the Past, Beyond the Lies is coming along nicely now. This
week I will be doing some research around the plot and will keep posting on my
twitter page. I have another new book idea that will keep DCI Fisher and DS
Davies very busy in Wetherby. I know some of you that have read Beyond the Past
would like to see them continue their relationship. Your wish is my command…
If you haven't read it yet, you can read the 1st three chapters of Beyond the Past FREE (Really hard to say for a Yorkshire Lass!) at www.pamcharles.com. There is also a list of characters and news of what I have been up to.

Finally, our Easter holidays started
Friday last and I for one, could not be happier. I get a break from the
school
runs and I get to stay in my jamas if I chose to. It’s funny but I get
more
writing done when the boys are on holiday. My day starts around 5am and I
have
done six or seven hours before they even emerge. Then I get the rest of
the day
winding them up! Perfect! This holiday is going to include some revision
for my eldest, some trips to local Leeds venues and culminates in a
trip to Liverpool for the Hillsborough memorial football
match. Can't wait!
Creating an atmosphere that’s calm, happy & free from pressure…
After
Easter, we have a plan for May and June, during the
dreaded exam time. The plan is simple - hearty, healthy breakfasts,
calm, quiet atmosphere
and lots of rest. Oh and the not so secret ingredient, NO PRESSURE! I
tell mine you can only do your
best and you don’t lose your life if you don’t get the grades you want.
You just keep trying. Too
much pressure is put on this period of time on top of raging hormones
and changing bodies. Staying calm and having no pressure will win
results. It was lovely to hear my teenage son thank me for NOT putting
any pressure on him yet he is consistently hitting and exceeding his
targets. It's nice to know your plans work and are appreciated.
2014 always promised to be our year. New inquests for the families of Hillsborough,new career as a writer, both boys thriving,healthy and doing well at school and sport, and Liverpool right up there where they should be. If Carlsberg made years......
Liverpool still top of the Premier League and playing good, old fashioned flowing football.
