More thoughts… and an update on the ugly.

When I gave up my son to the unforgiving universe, I thought that I had paid whatever penance I needed to, that whatever wrong I had done in my life had been forgiven, when I let him go.
These are strong words, my friends and if they are too painful or heavy then, please don’t read. […]

The good, the bad and the ugly part 2.

There is no good
or bad
just very very ugly.
More later when I have licked my wounds.

He makes my heart sing.

I meant to do my work today.
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand,
So what could I do but laugh and go.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

The good;
My Parents in Law came up to visit yesterday and made me feel as though I was a partially competent parent.
My children were all ecstatic to be spending time with them.
We had a roast lamb ( with gluten free gravy).
Ivy had her first (almost) solid poo since…well, I don’t remember really… September 07, I […]

Another midwife story. A lesson in wisdom.

This is one of my favourite memories as a student midwife.
As part of your student ‘year’ you had to catch fifty babies, including the placenta before you could become ‘certified’. No jokes now people. I already know that I am certifiable but that was how you were labelled at the end of your time. Actually, […]

Pay it forward, bloggy bling and a few other things…

Kate from Picklebums (you should see her gorgeous baby boy) ran a ‘Pay It Forward’ competition and apparently, I won!
As part of the PIF tradition, now it’s my turn to do something nice for someone else and in keeping with this lovely idea, I will write a little about the winners’ blogs with linky love […]

Weekly Winners.

Despite a near impossible week, Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners always brings a smile to my face and makes everything alright for a while.
If you have a passion for photography, why don’t you join in?
Here are my favourites from this week.
Sorry, there are a few…

Before the first Gluten free breakfast…she wasn’t smiling like this afterwards.

Gluten free […]

Thoughts…

I have been really pent up.
Hurting over the insinuations of Ivy’s colonoscopy reults.
Even though I have been cleared.
Last night it was all I could think about.
Here’s the thing,
I was abused.
Take that for what you will.
The foster boys, who are in my care, were abused.
I have spent my whole adult life running from parts of my childhood. […]

Okay.

I’ve just spoken to the paed.
On Wednesday he phoned David and among other things, told him that Ivy’s colonoscopy showed a thing called melanosis coli.
Now, before you go and google that, you should know, that everything that comes up talks about laxative abuse.
Yep. Laxative abuse.
As you can imagine, for the last couple of days, all hell […]
