Rain, rain and even more rain! We have had so much rain the pats few days that there is flooding everywhere! Loads of areas are on high flood alert and some are on caution of being evacuated.
I'm quite lucky my house is near the top of hillside, and is also up a flight of 13 stairs to do the front door, so we're not likely to flood.
Sadly though today we had planned to go to town for the Christmas light switch on but due to the rain I decided that we were not going to go and get wet. It wouldn't have been fair on my middle son who has really bad asthma and would have ended up ill. So we stayed at home in the warm instead.

November 14th 2015 - Invisible
Chronic pain is invisible to all other people, however this doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The person that is suffering with it knows its very real and sore all the time. most of the time people put on a bright face to try and hide it.
November 13th 2015 - cleaning
As per todays pin "I get more cleaning done b4 someone comes over than all week." Due to my knee being very sore this week and us altering the kitchen the house was a mess. however my eldest son had asked if he could have his friend round and stay over for his birthday.
I agreed but this meant non-stop sorting out. We ordered take away for tea and sat and pigged out on the floor. the lads then played with lego and on their tablets upstairs. They were told they had to shut up by midnight or I would be yelling. i'm not sure what time they shut up and went sleep but i didnt hear them so all was good.

November 12th 2015 - 13yrs ago today
13years ago today at 05:12am I gave birth to my eldest son. Right up until he was born I was adamant that if it was a girl my Mum could bring it up as I knew what a cow I was (especially as a teenager), well lucky for me I had a son.
Although he was of normal weight (7lb 2oz), there was nothing to him, he was small and newborn clothes were too big so my Mum had to go to town and buy me some tiny baby clothes for him. He soon outgrew these and was in what I had bought.
Over the years we have had many good and bad days and many ups and downs, he has turned from a tiny baby into a gorgeous son. He is very loud, crazy and mad, but these are his traits and make him special and he's my son and I wouldn't change him for the world.
Happy birthday Jay.

november 11th 2015 - on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.....
.....We will remember them!
Although the local parade was at the weekend today was remembrance day. I was at the school for family learning and had set my alarm for just b4 11am, I wasn't sure if everyone in the group was going to join me in the silence but I was certainly doing it. Well as it happened the group leader said that we would all do it and could I keep watch on the time for the end. Which I did.
I don't know why but the 2minute silence ith our small group of 9 people seemed to take forever, much longer than when you are in a big group like on parades. I have no idea why this is.

November 10th 2015 - Christmas cupboard
I wish I had a Christmas cupboard like this one:
BUT as my house is not big enough to have "spare cupboards" that I could turn into my own christmas cupboard/grotto I will have to make do with what I have!
I have spent a good 2-3hrs in my small storage cupboards sorting out what I have for christmas and for who and what I still need to get. I took everything out, sorted it into groups and put back. I will need re-take out to wrap and then mix up so not all of 1 persons ends up in 1 bag!

November 9th 2015 - just because.....
Just because i'm used to the pain, doesnt mean it doesnt still hurt. And trust me it hurts alot! Some days are worse than others and today was 1 of those days. I have been sat in non-stop pain all day. No matter how I moved, where I sat or stood or what I did it wouldn't ease.
