Things I know

Lifted this from Whoa Mummy

I know that with the explosion of bloggers , who subsequently join twitter, start Face book fan pages and even Instagram and Pin interest [I am still going to join pin interest - just been a bit busy I tell you] 'there' is only so far we can spread ourselves and still be a good enough mum and wife. I know I have been very slack at both lately.

I know it's getting harder to connect more personally with all the lovely blogging ladies in the community due to TIME.

I know I dreadfully miss some good friends who rarely email me anymore. I  know they are just busy or at least I hope it's not me. I get it. I am busy too I know. Sorry to anyone I haven't emailed and should !

I know that some new followers don't know much about me...

Just this week someone said they didn't know my twin boys were IVF miracles babies.

Someone else this week didn't know my just turned 18yr son was adopted - @13 months old actually. He wasn't the first baby his birth mother had relinguished for adoption or to permanent custody of birth fathers/partners. I know one day if they ever have a family reunion it will be HUGE -just sayin'. 

Someone else didn't know I lost my firstborn baby, Charlotte , almost 7 years ago. After 12 yrs infertility she was our naturally conceived miracle. I was 6 months pregnant when our world shattered. There was no reason found for her 'demise'. Red Nose day always makes me feel tremendous sadness for all families remembering their little angels.

Someone else recently didn't know my husband was diagnosed with cancer (just over 12 months ago).  It was a rare malignant tumour in the temporal muscle on right side of his head. So far so good after surgery to remove the tumour ; he had 6 weeks radiation therapy -12 months ago now. He still has frequent headaches and dizziness so his oncologist referred him to a  neurologist. I know we live with both hope and fear always. Every time he feels unwell hideous thoughts flood my head and heart.  

So you know what I mean when I say the best news I've read this week was that Dave's @ Eden's hubby cancer hasn't come back. Eden is an amazing writer go read their story and celebrate.


Now is there anything else you want to know about me ?  
I am happy to answer questions in a new blog post (one day) !

What do you know this week ?
I know Shae wants to crack 20 links this week - surely we all know something ! I am #14
  Never miss a post

Oh, Trish...I didn't know about your husband's health condition.
You are truly an amazing woman. A real inspiration.
Sending you love and support,
Grace x
Thanks Grace , He is mostly okay now he sees the Oncologists every 3 months and he will continue to have regular scans for a while.
He had a full body PET scan in Feb that was all clear.
I know it's good connecting with other women with the help of blogs. I know that being a mum to multiples is fun and challenging and never dull! I know that I'm glad to have read your "things i know" today, so I can get to know a little more about you!
Trish, since i started blogging (a whole3 weeks ago) there seems to be some people that just stick with me, you are one of them. Thank you for the insight, Thinking of you today xx and i agree with Grace, truly inspiring xox
I love your honesty and know that it helps others xoxo
Oh, I felt kind of special being included in your blog post (as one of the readers who didn't know something)!
I totally get what you mean about the whole TIME thing...I want to read so many blogs, and I like to comment on them too....but there are sooo many around that I can't possible get to them all, as well as write my own posts plus do all the jobs around the house (which of course, are neverending). I always wish dust didn't exist...wouldn't life be better? lol
I hear you, Trish, we must be on a similar wavelength at the moment as I wrote a post about needing to manage my time online and as a mother just last week. It is a constant juggle and I don't seem to do both well at the same time!
