  Hi there, welcome to my blog. As I am sure you can guess by the name I live in Northern Ireland. Happily married to my darling hubby Aka, who I purchased on the internet 3 years ago.........lol. We have 4 kids ( 2 sons, a dog and a cat), still trying to figure out which one is the biggest kid, might even be Aka.....lol. My hubby is a webdesigner and I am a virtual PA and we have just set up our own business. We are also International Exchange Co-ordinators for EF Foundation for Foreign Study, and for those of you not in the know, we find host families for students who want to come and live in NI for a year and study here. It is very interesting and we are always looking for more host families here in NI, so, if you are interested and live in NI, e-mail us and we will get back to you. Monday 14th June 2004 Just realised this weekend you could keep adding to your blog, never having had one before I am still learning.
I thought I might add a bit more about our nutty family. For instance........my husband was recently invited to enter one of his origional songs in the UK Songwriting Championships, which he quickly did and we hope that he gets somewhere with that as music is his reason for living. Computers are what helps him make it through the day. Since he is disabled and sometimes it is very dificult for him to go out much, working on his webpages gives him something to do. At present we have 2 websites up and running which are family fun sites, but my husband also designs webpages for a living.
I on the other hand, know very little about them but I am learning through his teaching. We have 2 sons living at home, R is 18 and M is 7. R is still trying to decide what he wants to do with life, although making holes in other people (body piercing) seems to be what he is inclined to.
M on the other hand has decided he wants to be a world champion wrestler, this week at least. M is a very special boy, 2 years ago we found out he has Asperger Syndrome, which is a member of the Autistic spectrum. They also call it high functioning autism. He is extremely clever, numbers are his thing, and I am so thankful that he functions at such a high level. He is a loving child, but very devious and lies very well to achieve his target, which is usually food of some kind or another.
When he was diagnosed the doctor told us that people like M tend to be NASA space scientists, or nutty professors, so it looks like he will be very successful at what he does in life on the work side of things, what worrys me is the personal side of it........we shall have to keep our fingers crossed and see what happens there. As for me well I am the chief cook, and bottle washer, or as I always call it the unpaid domestic technician. I just hope we get round to having enough money to pay me at some stage.......hehehehe.
