Finally

I'm having a few minutes to actually sit down and get some thoughtful typing done.  Life has been knocking me about a bit - but I am so thankful for those people in my life, some whom I haven't even met in person who have been supporting me.  I've chatted to a dr. about PND and we have a support system ready to go if I feel I need it.  I'm currently feeling more 'up' than 'down' - it's kinda hard to describe ... but the major mood swings and a few other things worried me enough that I decided it was time to get some professional help.  I'm no good to myself, my husband, my kids or my friends if I have a total meltdown.

On the sunny side of life, the weather has really picked up, which may have helped the sunshine mood the last few days.  Where we are it is super windy (as in too windy almost to hang wash) - but has been helping things dry out, so not so much mud about the place.  The kids can almost go outside without being bundled up like a snow bunny - although rain pants are still practical in terms of the mud/dirt playing that goes one.

We're hoping that in about ten days time we'll know where we're at with a couple of CVs that have been put in ... praying that the LORD will clearly show us the way, in a timely manner.


The biggest child is about to turn 5 (WHERE DID THE TIME GO?????).  We're waiting with school for him until we know where we'll be living.  I like both of the schools that are close to the possible new job options, so I'm not to worried about that.  He's super excited about turning 5 - can't wait to head to school.  He's a social wee man, so I'm not to stressed about him finding and making new friends.  He has asked for a helicopter cake for his birthday - so that will be a fun make. 

The wee girl has just gone 6 weeks - she's got reflux, and if she isn't sleeping or eating or being held by me, she pretty much cries.  That is hard.  Actually, it's very hard.  I have another doctor's appointment for her next week - so if things haven't turned a corner we'll talk about some other ideas.  Thankfully she now takes a dummy, so that has helped the crying a bit - I may had to bite the bullet and cut dairy myself and see if that makes any difference at all.

The last but one is finally walking ... he's loving getting around faster, and especially enjoys joining the big kids outside.  The big girl (well, 3 in december, so not that big) is my baking buddy, and the nearly 4yr old is our pickpocket ... all the toys end up in his pockets or up his bunk, amusing for the most part, until you find out he's pocketed little things of ours he's found here and there.

Right, I'm off to top up the wee miss and then hopefully she'll do a good stretch of sleep and I'm going to have a catch up nap as well.
