Cake, cake and more cake!!
Hello blog reader peeps
Been a while again eh??
So lets start with the fact that Jack DID get his trike, we have the most amazing family and friends in the world without question. Its hard for him when he first starts to ride it but he absolutely loves it and of course he is more than made up with the yellow colour. It turns heads on the street as well :)
He has also got a wheelchair now which helps when both me and Tony are out with them. We make sure he still does plenty of walking as well though to keep the strength in his legs up. We took the children to Blackpool last weekend and he walked amazingly well. We all had a lovely time. Its great to get some time off and spend it together every now and again. There isn't enough of it!!
Jack is doing great! He is such a character and dare I say a monkey at times! His speech is amazing! He can hold a decent conversation with strangers now. Jack has a bag full of charm and within seconds of meeting someone he can wrap them round his little finger completely! It was Tonys 40th on the 25th of October and the dj took such a shine to Jack that he handed me his card and said to contact him if we ever wanted to do a party for him! See a complete charmer!!
Sooooo as you know I had said to raise the money for the trike I would face an enormous fear of mine and walk through the butterfly house in Chester Zoo. I did it!!!!!! One of the most terrifying things I have ever done in my entire life! I don't over exaggerate here either. The moment I walked in and saw them flying around I thought I was going to have some sort of breakdown! I had to take it one baby step at a time and put my hands on the side of my head to make sure I couldn't see what was coming from the sides. As soon as I got out I burst in to tears! It was a mixture of terror, relief, pride in myself and pride in my son! I would do it again tomorrow for one of my children :)
In other news we have been so busy with the business. It is so hard. We absolutely love what we do but we are getting tired. It takes most of our energy, our time with the children and our time as a couple. Things are just piling on top of me. Im struggling to balance everything I need to do and feel bogged down often. I can describe it as drowning some days! I need a few more hours each day just to do the day to day things. I feel like a terrible wife, mother and friend most days. We had to leave a wedding of one of my oldest friends last week before we had even eaten. I have never felt so embarrassed or sad in my life. Hopefully something will click soon and we can get into some sort of routine where we can take some time off and get some balance in our lives again.
