This weekend made an unplanned trip back home as dad has deteriorated. I went straight to his nursing home to see him yesterday. He looked quite frail but he smiled when he saw us even tho he doesnt know who we are. His face lit up when he saw Charlotte and Alyssia and he couldnt take his eyes off them. This trip has been the best for Alyssia as she didnt seem nervous to be around him this time. She held his hand and stroked his arm which for me was so lovely to see as sometimes she hides.
He was really calm and listened to everything we said to him which was nice.
Jason came with me and the girls this morning to see him and we sat and held hands chatted and laughed and also talked with Edwin his carer. I stayed at Jasons last night and it was lovely to see my lovely adopted bezzie mates Rebecca and Ian. We chatted, giggled, discussed issues which were sometimes serious and not. It was nice to have some kind of normality happening after a stressful day. Back in July to see my family and R and I. Cant wait.
Well after a lovely week with mam being here, she has unfortunatley gone back home today. It was great having her here and Alyssia and her seem to be having a closeness that Charlotte and Victoria had with her. But it is difficult living away and mam hasnt got the same contact with Alyssia that she had with my other daughters. Alyssia even got quite upset yesterday when I told her that nana had to go back home, so its nice to think that she is missing a nana that she only sees from one month to the next.
Me and the girlies met Jason at scotch corner for the nana swap over and had burgers chat and of course cuddles. Alyssia cuddled jason and wanted to go home with him. It was lovely seeing alyssia interact with him like that. She talks about him all of the time. She hugged him when he picked her up, it was so nice to see.
Now we are chilling out watching Britains got talent. Im shattered as I have just finished my night shifts. At my friends babies christening tomorrow so the taxi is booked as its an all day event. Lots of chatter gossip and food and maybe a little drinkie.
And a final little impromptu pictorial............Alyssia with snuggles the rabbit and princess his girlie is nowhere to be seen.................
So I did my thursday night shift and then grabbed a quick 3 hours in bed before preparations for charlottes prom. With hair and make up done we dressed her in her princess dress with accessories of pink pearl and rose quartz, Pink and white diamond cocktail ring, diamonte bracelet and tiara with bejewelled silver shoes and matching little bag.
Charlotte and Hannah (best friend) had pics done too.
Ahhhhhhhh sweet sixteen..............and what a good night they had too.
Im going to try and chill out a bit as I had my last exam today and thank goodness. Had a trip around the morgue this morning which was interesting.
Out tomorrow night with Charlotte. She is taking me to see Girls Aloud, its my birthday prezzie that she bought me back in Feb, and we have front row seats.
Then Thurs night duty frid off cos its the all important prom for charlotte then nights again Sat, then mummy coming sunday yippee.
Im goin now see ya all later
That is the way I feel at the moment. Thank god for the children. They are my sanity even though Alyssia is noisey. I wish I had a magic wand to take me somewhere ...... a nice happy place, stressfree, study free, work free..........me and the children happy and content. It sounds really bad I know. This isnt like me at all. Do I need help! Maybe or maybe not I just dont know though I do really. I think I have the answers but am I strong enough to put them into action!!!
The bugs my daughters had last have been lovingly passed on to myself. Feeling not to clever at the beginning of the week I put this down to night duty and study and rushing around. This morning at 2.30a.m. I had my head down the loo and not being over graphic was vomming for england. By about 430a.m. feeling sorry for myself climbed back into bed rather weak. I had taken something for my poor stomach to no avail. I couldnt even lie flat so propped myself up on pillows. The children have been off today as teachers were on strike so nipped to tesco and managed to do that without vomming. Charlotte had warned me not to show her up by throwing up in the shop.
Should be back on nights tonight and tomorrow but had gone off sick. Nursing my poorly tum, may loose a few pounds in the process. I think I have an alien inside my tum as the noises are bad.Hope I dont have a repeat performance tonight....................
Just this minute completed hopefully what will be my last assignment whilst lyssy watches dvds......not well again! Docs later on.
This latest assignment we had a choice of written assignment, project or poster. I chose to do a poster on ill affects of smoking. It looks quite good even if I do say so myself, even took a photo of it how sad is that!!. Myself and 3 others have been given the chance to attend a conference about infection control and some consultants we work with are going to be speaking. Sounds a bit boring but we get free coffee and free lunch and its at The Hilton in sheffield. But we have been told by tutors that information gained from this will be good for our course. Only thing is got to go on day off, never mind.
Start my nights tomorrow so going to take my revision notes in and if quiet try and gain some knowledge for next weeks mini exam. Gonna chill I think tonight shepherds pie made this morning while sticking things onto poster, so not much to do this evening hopefully.
have a good one x
