Hello 2017

Happy New Year to one and all!

Another full year without my Husband, done and dusted.

Life feels somewhat ‘normal’.

Widowhood isn’t something I would ever think would feel ‘normal’. But I feel at peace. Long may it last!

The happiest of Birthdays to my wonderful 7 year old! Life with you around is a joy. Never ever stop being so wonderful 😍 #ageseven #birthday #sevenyearsold #middlechild #motherofboys #threeboys
Birthday-Eve for George. As it is a school morning he has REQUESTED just one gift before school. What? #birthday #seven #middlechild #son #motherofboys
The day has peaked already, no point in the rest of the day after all this excitement! Skip deliveries are always good fun, especially when I get to move my car in my PJs in the pouring rain...😒
So that’s me, admitting defeat that I can’t spin so many plates all at once. I have been struggling for months to hold everything down, at times feeling like ‘I got this’, before another knock sends everything off balance again. I had to make a decision to help myself get better. Something had to give! Today, after weeks of increasing anxiety and irritability, I went to my doctors to get signed off work. I am really really sad about it, in reality. I didn’t want to have a break. I wanted that focus and that pride, but I simply can’t keep going like I have done. I have totally lost myself and need some time to get some semblance of ‘me’ back. I am going to get the house in order for the baby arriving and see friends and watch crap on TV and continue my never ending quest to plough through my past traumas and ‘get better’. I have merely survived the last few months and I feel like it is time to live again. But right now, I am not okay. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #ptsd #notokay
Breakfast with the almost Birthday boy. He ordered waffles with fruit and a chocolate dip, and only ate the fruit. Seems like a nice kid. #middlechild #almostseven #birthdaytreat #motherofboys #threeboys #widowedparent
