What a day!

What a day indeed!

I don't know how it is for you guys but what my MS nurse said about the side effects of the Avonex only lasting 8 hours is SO NOT TRUE!!!! 

I usually take mine on Thursday nights and then I am out for the next 24 hours. then for the next 15-20 I am still soooo lethargic and achy in all my joints and muscles that I am not up for much. 

Usually today would have been a day like that. I would have lounged around the garden all day with lots to do but no energy to do it. But for some reason I pushed through it today. I'm not saying it was easy, or I felt any better... but I pushed through it and managed to do 2 loads of laundry, AND hang them(important detail), semi clean the house... and on a day like this... let's add get up and feed the kids, change nappies and get everyone bathed and dressed to the list as well ;-D!!! We also take the bus with the kids to go to a friends birthday barbeque (My friend had gone all out on accommodating for my OMS diet by the way, so a big thank you to Emma!!! The food was soooo good!!!) and then went to do a food shop.... on the bus... with 2 kids!!! 

Yeah, today I want to call myself superwoman ;-)! 

Both girls in one little pushchair :-)! Who needs a sibling pram?! This worked a charm!

We are currently car-less, and living where we do we often feel very stranded. Not great having to drag the kids along on the train or bus just to go do a food shop that will most likely last up to 2 days only as I can't carry more home. The times when we somehow can coordinate going with someone else are a life saver! Today was one of those days. Unfortunately we couldn't go in their car(no car seats for the kids), but they could take our shopping home and I then took the bus home. 

This is how we Roll on our big shopping trips ;-D!!! Don't worry Nick is holding the pram so Penelope wont fall!

So a BIG thank you to my brother Edward for taking our shop home for us today!!! <3

While we were at the shop Penelope managed to pee through her nappy and pants and EVERYTHING was wet, so she was running around without pants. Couldn't help but smile at all the mothers smiling at me, knowing exactly what must have happened to have her running around in just her nappy at the supermarket. Lucky for us it was lovely and warm today, so warm in fact that there MUST be a thunderstorm coming our way soooon. Is it weird that I want one? I love a good thunderstorm... nothing like them!

Anyway, I am babbling :-)... 

While we were waiting for the bus we found a collapsed bouncy castle with puddles in it that the girls decided would be a great way to spend the time :-)!!! And so did I. It was so nice to just let go (Q the "let it go" song in your heads) and let them have fun. I saw so many kids walk by and looking longingly at what my girls got to do. They had so much fun though, they got soaking wet and there were huge smiles on their faces. Sometimes you just have to let go and save your energy for tomorrows battles.

Today was a good day. Yay for seeing the good in life, even when it is rough. Yay for moments like these.

I LOVE my kids.
