Really good day today, L went to nursery and then me and C.J. went to the shops. Stopped at the park on the way home and fed the ducks, then went for a 2hr nap  bliss! Did some gardening, picked up L, tea, bath and the two tikes have been in bed since 6.45pm  Hubby and I have stir fry, and are now enjoying a glass of wine.. |

Ok this is going to be a smug, patting myself on the back entry ;D Phone call from nursery to pick up L as he wasn't well, poor wee tike looked as green as his top. So have been at home most of day with him clinging to me and wanting held, whilst trying to explain to an 11mnth old that his bro is too sick to play  Keeping them seperated, and managing to go for a wee without crying matches  Feeding C.J. while L is hanging off my neck, and finally trying to bath and cosy C.J. prior to bed, whilsi comforting L.... All this I have done today without crying, shouting or panicking (AT ALL)! C.J. in his bed, L lying on mylap, and OH not home yet. I'm absolutely exhausted, but my only thought today has been "my poor wee man". I am so proud of myself  |

Hi Caterina, many thanks hun L still a bit poorly today, all out of steam by lunchtime. He lay on the bed, C.J. sat on the floor and watched pocoyo, while I gutted our bedroom long overdue Am trying to do a little bit everyday to get the house in order, before the descent of family for C.J.'s 1st birthday next week. OH MY GOD, its just hit me that my babe is nearly a year old Followed by the thought "look how much you missed"  |

Hi Helen, Yes I get angry too at how this bloody illness makes us feel that we have missed out on precious times but at least we can look ahead and think of all the good times to come that we can enjoy when we are well.
Sending you lots of love

WELL DONE Helen
Coping when they're ill is the hardest thing of all I think. Coping like that is impressive and a sure sign of better days to come x

Not such a good day today!
Have found out that girl I grew up with died of breast cancer and is being burried tomorow. She was the same age as me, and leaves behind DH and 3 children, the youngest being the same age as L.
I'm devastated for her poor family, but also, its a bit close to home, bearing inmind my own recent health scare.
If I'm honest, I think most of my feelings are surrounding that - it could've been me.
I hope that doesn't sound too selfish of me, I'm not that type of person,

Helen that is not selfish at all, I think it really does hit home when it is someone close to our own age, and especially like you said with your recent health scare.
Sending you a big hug and prayers for your friends family xx

Hi Helen
having a look in your diary, you seem to be really busy and getting lots done.
Sorry about your friend, its hard when you lose someone, and make us think about things.
You did so well the other day when your little one was poorly.
Thanks for all your posts and encouragement, it is kind of you to care about me.
I send my love
Jay xx

Thanks all for your posts Can't beleive its been so long since my last post. Ok catch up! Last Thurs had meeting with HR and my manager, just as I suspected Occy Health Consultant told them that I would be fit to return to normat duties in 4 weeks  He came to that decision after a 5 min interview So what did I do? Burst into tears and had a massive panick attack DH was in the car with the 2 babes, and they wouldn't let me leave on my own, so they walked me to the car, me sobbing all the way Needles to say, they don't expect me back in 4 weeks, and they'l see me again at beginning of Aug. Have to say it put me on a downer for a few days. C.J.'s 1st b'day was on Sat, lots of family made the effort to travel to see us which was nice. We had a lovely time, but for most of it I had the old feeling of being on the outside looking in, which wasn't very nice. Have also been on my own as DH been in Manchester for a few days, although he comes home tonight. Desperately want to wait up to see him, but am just so tired. |

Hi Hun What an absolute R sole in occy health, how on earth can he make that decision that you are ready to go back like that in 4 weeks??? Whatever happened to phased return n all that? I was mad to when I went to occy health before I went back, I saw a woman and she was useless, she told me I would always probably panic and my patients didnt need that...what the hell do they know anyway?  Its hard when you are on your own with the little ones, tuesday was like that for me with J, I couldnt wait for OH to walk in, but hey we have managed it so well done. Get as much rest as you can hun xxx |

Have been a very naughty girl  Ran out of meds, slept most of this pm, was late for childminder, and didn't pick up prescription until 5.30pm, so have missed a dose today  Not been too bad considering - mind you I've been asleep most of the day Bit jitterry tonight, but nothing I can't handle. DH said when he phoned earlier, that I sounded slightly manic, but not too bad as he's gone out New double buggy came today, one with 3 wheels, much easier to manover than one I already have, can't wait to take the boys out in it tomorrow. |

bliss!
