1. Our new kitten playfully absorbed in her pink mouse (her 'transitional object', according to slightly strange but very enthusiastic man at the Pet Shop) while moving on from breastfeeding from her mum to living as part of our family.
2. My children doing Sunday School and loving it; and then coming home to set up and do a cake/toy/teddy sale, raising over £22 for their school charity for kids in Africa.
3. Cuddling up with my little family, whom I made, laughing at X factor and realising the kids were going to bed too late but refusing to get my knickers in a twist about it too much.
4. Feeling the IC pain today but not letting it dominate my life.
5. Knowing that there are people out there who love me - lots of people, in lots of different ways - and knowing that however spiky and depressed and lonely I might feel, I love them right back.
6. The box set of the first ever Dallas episodes, as found at bargain price on Amazon, winging its sweet way to me by the end of the week. Roll on half term.
7. The wind blowing, the rain against the windows; the leaves hustling through the air. Autumn, my favourite time of year.
About Me
- rainbowgirl
- This blog is about coping with the strains of chronic illness whilst bringing up two beautiful children; it's also about the stresses of bringing up two children on your own while suffering with a chronic ongoing health problem which is at times very severe.... you can look at it either way. It's about being a single mum; it's about raising awareness of Interstitial Cystitis; it's about helping me cope. Writing this blog is beginning to bring me back to who I really am, who I really always was, before the single motherhood took over full time, before the illness set in.... a writer. I've always written, from essays to stories to journalism. This is the first thing I've written in years. It's helping me regain my confidence. PLEASE DO LEAVE ME COMMENTS AFTER MY POSTS! I'd genuinely love to hear your views on my (sometimes controversial) opinions. Thank you for taking the time to read. It would be great if you could comment so I know that you've been here and what you think.
