Love Thursday
Filed in Love Thursday, January 31, 2008, 8:46 amLove Thursday is a theme that I discovered over at Shutter Sisters. If you are into photography then you should go and have a look. It’s simple, really. All you have to do is post a photo that depicts love in some way. It can be anything, because I love photos of people, mine will […]
Random thoughts of an insomniac gone mad.

Everything about this nightmare is wrong. Why can’t I help her? Why? I feel out of control, powerless. I can only imagine what she is going through.
When William was born my whole life changed. I have felt as though I have been falling ever since.
That night, that night, when the NICU […]
Up, down, up, down…

of the unknown.
Up, down.
Up, down.
We are getting
nowhere fast.
Up, down,
Up, down.
I feel their disregard
and I can do nothing more to help her
without them.
Her pain,
her pain.
Up down,
up down.
Her pain
is mine.
Up, down,
up down.

Just sayin’
Filed in doctor related posts, January 29, 2008, 9:26 pmIf a doctor asks you to call, before you alter your child’s medication, on a set day, and you keep to your end of the bargain, would you expect the doctor to call you back because he wasn’t available to talk at the time you phoned?
And, if he didn’t call back, would you be cross?
Me too.
Five reasons why and five why I’m not.
Filed in children, family, , 8:21 pmThe end of the school holidays is here and I am of two minds how I feel. There have been some lovely days and some that I have wanted desperately to be (very) hard of hearing.
Here are the five main reasons for celebrating the return of school:
1. The bickering between the children this week has […]
…and now for something completely different.
Filed in babies, midwifery, January 28, 2008, 9:23 pmIn another life I was a midwife. Next year, I will hopefully be in a position to go back to it. I love it. I miss it.
In a life before that, I was a student midwife and I recorded the first few births and my feelings about them. (Before that I was a cardiac nurse).
So […]

I know, I know I said I was taking a break, pffft to that, I couldn’t not participate in Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners. Besides that, I’m feeling loads better than I was two days ago. All that chocolate must have kicked my seratonin levels up a notch!

Heard in the house today.
Filed in toddlerhood, too cute, , 10:58 amMummy: What are you going to wear today?
Noah stares blankly into wardrobe.
Mummy: Shorts and a T - shirt?
Noah: No!
Mummy: Then what?
Noah: My Santa suit!
Ok, this child has a bit of a Santa obsession going on, me thinks…
Even though the Ivy - girl has the worst diarrhoea known to man, she still has a sense of […]
Something positive and then a break… maybe.
Filed in Blogging awards, Health, illness, blogging, hurting, January 25, 2008, 9:28 amI have nothing positive to write. Nothing funny or witty or knowledgable. It’s all negative, down in the dumps, depressing stuff.
Ivy’s bottom is all red and blistered again and her lip has a blister too. 24 hours after decreasing the prednisone.
I am feeling very low. I know I am writing the same stuff over and […]
Better, and yet?
Filed in Health, illness, crazy mummy moments, doctor related posts, toddlers, worry, January 23, 2008, 10:39 pmI don’t know where to start.
We went to the paed today.
There. That wasn’t so bad. A start.
The paed was lovely, kind, caring. I seriously couldn’t fault him today. He even charmed Maddy, who had come with me to help.
Noah is fantastic. Growing well. Chest is good, the Singulair is working. He is developing well. You […]
