thank goodness it's friday!

The end of a busy week.

on Monday my eldest Ellie went on a residential trip with her school, poor Sarah was quite upset and kept asking "where Ellie gone mum?"

on Tuesday Sarah (my 2yr old) went for a visit to pre school, she loved it and didn't want to leave! since then every morning she say's "my pre school today mum?"

Wednesday was a quiet day, except for Sarah playing her piano loudly and me doing lots of washing!

on Thursday me and Sarah went to gym minis, Sarah loves climbing, jumping, crawling and singing, i enjoy a bit of a rest because the lovely ladies there help Sarah so my hands get a break!

Friday (today) we'll be tidying, doing the washing and later picking up Ellie, I'm sure she'll bring home a large amount of washing so, here's to a busy week end to! i also think she's going to be tired, so an early night i think!

spoon theory!!

i just read 'the spoon theory' it was written by a girl with lupus but it describes life with arthur, or chronic pain perfectly.
if everyone read it they'd understand my life!
here's a link to the theory on 'but you don't look sick, a website and the title says it all!

please read it and maybe you can understand why some day's I'm moody, or short tempered or so sleepy it's untrue!!! i told you I'm not just lazy!
the person who wrote it describes life with chronic pain so perfectly, i couldn't even begin to explain it so well!

wahoo hay! i've dyed my hair today!

well, last weekend i dyed my hair black, last night i bleached the front of my hair, then this morning i dyed the bleached (ginger and blond) bit electric blue, i love it! just wish I'd been braver and bleached more as i think the blue is amazing, I'm a happy bunny!

apart from that, nowt much going today. Sarah is asleep, Ellie is round her friends and I'm sat here! boring don't you agree?!

stupidly I've managed to run out of my morphine, how daft am i? so it'll be a weekend of pain no doubt, hooray, NOT!

it's wednesday!!

today i are mostly doing the washing!!!
I've stripped beds, washed the bedding and now the fun begins! making my bed, hmm, who would of thought it would be so hard to 'make a bed'? it's at times like these that i get angry with Arthur. shake the pillow into the pillow case, easy? erm, not any more! just trying to keep hold of the pillow case while i shake it causes immense pain, drop it a few times and you can add a frustrated face to the mix!
still once it's done i have a few day's to get over the pain.

any way, Sarah tries to help by sticking her head into the tumble dryer to see if i got all the clothes out, Ellie keeps asking if she can turn the washing machine on, any one would think it was fun lol!
still, only another 2 or 3 loads then I'm done for the day. does any one want to vacuum for me please?
