How Do You Say Goodbye?

July 13, 2010 feelings

Today I had the worst news. One of my oldest friends, someone who’s been there through thick and thin, passed away today. She was 28. I remember first meeting her when the girl who lived in the room next to me in halls at first year of uni introduced me. She was one of those [...]

People keep telling me…

June 11, 2010 blogging

That I should blog more. I tell myself that most days too, when I’m reading other people’s blogs and think, oooh, I could write about this… great idea. Or when I’m with my boys and they do something awesome, I should be photographing it for the blog. But if I was photographing the boys then [...]

It’s a Long Road Ahead…

May 26, 2010 Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Phew, Max had his first session with Barbara, our preschool home-visitor this afternoon. She brought along a pink bag full of toys and would bring one out at a time for him to play with her with for a while. Boy did he NOT like doing things her way! Although by the end of the [...]

There’s been something on my mind…

May 3, 2010 Life in General

In fact, it’s always on my mind. Constantly. I dream about it. Dean dreams about it. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve been reading so much to try to learn more about the situation I find myself and my family in. I’ve thought of blog post upon blog post that I could write about [...]

March 25, 2010 The Kids

The boys are going up to their dad’s for a week in three days. No, wait technically now it’s TWO days. I am freaking out. I need to do a shedload of laundry before they leave so that they actually have, you know, clean and presentable clothes for when they go up. So it’s past [...]

If I had been in Dundee…

November 20, 2009 Ponderings

Then tonight I would have seen New Moon. I would have had two awesome friends babysitting the boys. I would have been able to let my hair down and gone out for a drink afterwards. I would have been able to go to the 24 hour store to pick up the new Sims 3 expac. [...]

Oh you’ll have someone else by then!

November 16, 2009 Ponderings

That’s something I hear a lot of when I talk about my boys growing up, becoming teenagers and thinking that I’ll most likely have to handle that on my own. You know what though? I don’t agree. I am liking living on my own. I can do what I like (to a certain extent!) and [...]

Stark Realizations

November 12, 2009 Ponderings

I am on my own. Completely, totally and utterly on my own here. My parents, though they live close, just can’t help the way they’d want to, they just don’t keep well enough. I don’t have any friends yet. I have no one to turn to. No one to stop and chat with up the [...]
