Only little things today....

Life has been so mad lately, so many appointments, hospital visits and after a VERY VERY stressful week and a day from hell. Two of the kids (older girl and DH were fine!) and I came down with a vomiting bug and boy were we sick! I did'nt sleep the whole night, the baby was so sick her feeding tube came out, the other had been ill just after going to bed and then again in the early morning and I woke an hour after going to bed and was ill all thru the night. So I stayed in bed most of yesterday (Dh took the day off to mind us all!), a treat if you are feeling well but horrible when you are sick. The worst thing was we were waiting months for an appointment with an ENT specialist for the following day and I had everything prepared to get the 3 girls ready and be out of the house for 8am, all the lunches done, clothes laid out, bags packed and all my clothes ready and waiting and then this happens - so I had to cancel it and will now have to wait ages again.

Anyhoo.... My older dd has just left primary school for secondary and my middle girl just started primary (very bad planning, wish they could have overlapped a year!) but there was a little girl called Abbey Byrne at her school and she was in a weelchair, the whole school knew Abbey, and my older dd had minded her class on her last year. Poor Abbey died about a month ago, and the school are having a bake sale tomorrow to raise funds for Temple Street Childrens Hospital and although we are all still not great, we baked some cupcakes and some brownies to take into school tomorrow....


My BIL and SIL are 25 years married and have invited us to dinner on Sat night so made them a card - sorry the photo is not the best, but it's late and the card was kind rushed, but hopefully they will be happy that I took the time to make one...


One other thing I made a while ago, my friend is going through a hard time an I put this little book together for her, it won't solve any problems, but hopefully might put a small smile on her face...
Night all - might get a good nights sleep, tossing and turning all the night and wake up with a sore back, if anyone has any tips, please share....
