Here we are once again, wondering where the hell the year is going! To say it has been a little manic might be a bit of a understatement!
As we all know it is never ever quite in this house and if it isn't one thing it is another, even when people comment, when do you ever get a break? you really do have to stop and think, do we get a break? Short answer no. Do parents ever get a break though? can't answer that one! We are not in any way a normal house hold!
We have been here now in Dorset for 3 years! 3.. my son little monkey man ( or maybe not so little he is getting so tall!! really) has lived longer here then he did up north. That is a really scary scary thought. Will take a lot longer for us to say that!
Another scary scary thought is that my beautiful and very intelligent baby girl is the big 10 this Sunday. I have been a mummy for 10 years! This time 10 years ago I was stuck in hospital, having had bleeding for the previous two weeks I was on official bed rest and going slightly bonkers with it. Thinking back I was only 21.. and about to have my first major surgery as there was no other way we would get through it all without a c section. So much has changed since then.
I am so incredibly proud of the young lady she is becoming, she faces so much for her age and alot more then her counterparts and to be honest most adults I know! And you know she comes through it every day, and when she does break through a headache and she smiles and is happy and running with her friends or her brother it makes the world seem at ease to the chaos that is is normally in.
We added more to her list recently, she broke 3 bones in her hand just before the summer holidays but she did it in an unusual way! never ever straight forward our madam. she had micro fractures that could only be seen on an MRI and then fluid in her bones which was the oddity. So I do believe we are going to have to watch her in future, and be aware that it might not just be a one off.
She has officially added migraines to her list of issues, and for the time being we are going to have to take off extra things from her diet. (Chocolate, cheese, citrus, caffeine) oh the fun we've had with that the last few days. This is not hopefully a long term issue and that we will be able to add them back in just to see if there are any triggers for her. we know noise is a huge issue and being tired! .. tired we can try and sort noise is harder. The tiredness is difficult especially when she is struggling with getting to sleep due to the other issues. Honestly, huge circle all the time.
Personally it does take its toll, it has taken its toll on me and the house. I won't go into a pity party again!
Autumn is here and i love Autumn, the fallen leaves the frosty foggy mornings. Snuggling up under blankets, and hot chocolate coming out ( or for madam hot fruit tea!) I can only hope that things will continue to improve as we move onto Winter and into 2018!
