Boy has it been one of those days. The lack of sleep has not helped at all. The last week has seen all 6 of the children ill. Each child has had at least one day off school this week.
I am in the middle of a rather difficult court case with my ex husband and my depression is playing games with me.
I have just managed to grab a bite of eat with the intentions of grabbing a bath, putting on the spotty PJS and curling up in a ball on the sofa …. a girl can dream right? Instead I have 6 very hyper children all wide awake and an extra child as we have my eldest daughters friend staying the night.
I was feeling pretty sorry for myself when I logged onto my Facebook Mums Group and of course they always do what they do best … make me cry – only joking you don’t really 
But they have this ability to kick me up the ass when I am feeling down.
What they do not realize is they do so much for me. They have given me the determination to stay strong, to stand up for what I believe in and to fight with every inch of my body to ensure we all have a friend to talk to when needed.
Here are a selection of the messages the mums had left for me after my very much loved admin made my apologies for not being around today:
