Families R USS

How to make the decision of how many children to have? That is the big question but there is so much more to it than meets the eye. In an idealistic world i think i would have 4 children In all honestly i think thats how many i would like. I love having my children around me & the thought of when they grow older is quite beautiful, I like the big family thing & although it would be crazy busy and full on a lot of the time that sits ok with me. Thing is its not as easy as saying ok thats how many we will have. I worry that after having Lacey-Jay its a sign we shouldn't push our boundaries and take it as a warning that we shouldn't attempt a 3rd or even a 4th. My body doesn't do Pregnancy its trouble after trouble. Money's a big thing & as much as it sounds kinda materialistic you do have to factor that into the equation. Would you be able to afford to have the lifestyle you may so wish? Or just live comfortably? Two children is common ...

After a recent visit with a new Dr i walk away feeling over whelmed with all the information. My brain trys to store this correctly & as i try to get my head around what will now be my everyday existence i cant quite comprehend where to start first. Boy was i not expecting that one. Thing is is have Psoriatic Arthritis which i knew and to a lot of people i think the over all feeling is "Arthritis yeah heaps of people millions in fact have it" Thing is there is so many different types & i was non the wiser myself until now. I kinda had the idea that it was just something that effects every person when they become older.. How naive was i to think this was something that i could push to the back of my head buried so deep that i wouldn't have to accept and deal with it. Yes i have this & turns out i have it really bad !! See i have had the effects of this for just under a year now and already this is attacking both my knees my ankles, all my f...

In just a few more days my Baby girl Lacey-Jay will turn the big 1. The first year in a child's life goes by at such a fast pace,  They really don't stay babies for very long at all. Lacey-Jay is such a character & really quite funny to be around! Being such a light sleeper if you even happen to walk past her door ever so quietly it will awaken her  & shes up kicking around in the bed laughing. Each night before i go to bed i sneak in and tuck her back in nice and snugly warm to which she smartly opens her blinkers & graces me with the biggest Gummy smile wriggles her wee legs then rolls back over & back to sleep. All around the house no matter where you could be you can always here a "Aaliyah Aaliyah" if Aaliyah isn't by her side. To say she is so close with her big Sister isn't enough she just idolizes her & wants to be her. They play beautifully together 90% of the time & theres chuckles at each ot...

Could you imagine watching your loved one set off to work one fateful morning non the wiser as to what would take place later that day? Then receiving that phone call to say there has been an explosion and in fact they are trapped inside the mine? I cant even begin to comprehend what that might be like but i know 29 Mens families no that feeling oh to well & i wish things could be different..... The Pike River Mining tragedy is so gut wrenching and those brave men are on my mind all the time. The fact is we all no this should never have happened but now 18months on these Husbands, Brothers, Fathers, Sons, Friends, Grandads are still trapped in that mine and that is so horribly wrong... My heart aches for there families and what they must go through day after day week after week hoping for that chance to get there Men out & give them a proper burial. I remember the exact moment i found out about it and sat sobbing in my lounge in disbelief in Roxby Downs S.A, glued...

MRI after MRI scan to figure whats going on inside this body of mine. All the while the Anxiety builds up inside and bubbles over as the stress levels get to high. Its not something i can control & is something very unpleasant indeed. 6 months ago i finally mentioned to Hayden about these acute pains i was having in my right foot to which he convinced me to go to the Dr as some of you no. Initially they had told me after so many tests that in fact i had a bone Spur, (my body had grown an extra bone in my foot & would require surgery to remove this). 2.5 months ago my left foot became painful but unlike the right foot it was on the outside not in, very puzzling ... After back in fourth visits with the Specialists at Proserpine Hospital & after all my MRI Scans today i finally got the results for my feet. 3days Ive had this appointment on my mind getting panic stricken & full of worry. I had a gut instinct things weren't going to be great & it was...

I am very much an impulse sort of person, If i get something into my mind then theres no changing it! No matter how challenging it may be or how huger task. As most of you know i have taken up sewing & loving the creative juices that flow with that but i quickly became sick of having the sewing machine, fabrics, scissors & all other things that come with sewing sprawled out all over my Dinning table due to lack of room to have it set up any where else. So when i saw this very old run down desk going for free online out at Malany i instantly saw potential and had to have it. Convincing Hayden took some time He could see it was a big job & knew i was seeing it now & seeing it finished but not the in betweens as i do. It wasn't a small desk to pick up & move by himself but after my big sell 3rd time round he came round to the idea & went & picked it up for me the next day. I sat out in the garage night after night slowly hand sanding the desk as it had b...

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse...
