Just give me one day for irrationality, one day to shake my fist at the sky and declare it is not fair. Just one day before I pick myself up, brush myself off and simply get on with things. BB has a dislocated hip, she has what is commonly known as Hip Dysplasia (ddh). She needs surgery and a cast and in all honesty she needs a bloody break. Last year was spent happily growing from baby to … [Read more...]

Daybreak murkily starts to edge its way into the room, tendrils of fog tap at the window telling me morning has begun. For a moment I lay silent in my bed, the duvet up near my chin pinning me down encouraging me to ignore the signs that I need to get up and start the days. Beside me BB lays eyes half open finishing the last of her milk.... And then it begins.... A thud as twin boy hits the … [Read more...]

BB had another seizure; Its astonishing really how quickly you can adjust to living with a condition. My heart raced but not as fast as the first time, my eyes leaked but not as long and not as hysterical as before. … [Read more...]

tap dancing through a thunderstorm

I am trying to find the happy today, my maternity leave is finally over after a rather splendid year with the small ones and I just can't help but feel a little glum. Actually for the last two hours or so I have felt pretty darn miserable hugely exaggerating … [Read more...]

I have a bit of a reputation for avoiding blog hops, memes and doing arty things with my kids so prepare yourselves as I am about to attempt to do all three in one blog post. Before I lose your interest let me tell you why: "No child is born to die, but 8 million children under five die every year from illnesses we know how to treat or prevent, such as diarrhoea and pneumonia. In the 21st … [Read more...]
