living in a fog..............

so the last few weeks have been stressful and my mental health has taken a hammering, just when i think i'm getting better then whammy another brick wall.

Hubby changing jobs and hours so a load of form filling, phone calls and such.  Least now I might get caught up on my sleep and get some energy :( .  I have a water infection and a lower lip of cold sores so more bloody meds.

On a bright note I'm working on going to a crop in Holystone, on the 28th and on my own, I know only one lady and thats through a facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/297223380355038/  'Come Scrap with me' .  This is very hard on me as I don't do new places or people well, but I have talked to one of the organizers of the crop and she is aware of my problems.  So I need to get my bags sorted, and organize the kids and hubby for the day.

I am in several crafty groups on facebook

https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftyfairygodmothers/
this is my group which I started last year.

Another group where I have found much inspiration is UK & Ireland craft swaps, ladies this group is the best, they are a great freindly bunch of people and what they give is freindship, support and they never judge.

Go have a look.

Right off for a cuppa and a play then school run, then the day truly begins.

Next time I want to tell you about the people who support me and who have never let me down.

Naomi your a rock and you rock xx

OMG - it's the weekend already

So the weekend is here already, only three days of school, am exhausted because daughter gets up between 4-5 am every morning including weekends.

So today is dance day, food shop day and trying to get my list of to things complete ~ not that that will happen, my son is being very loving, and wants cuddles and kisses, he is 6 years old.  Hubby in bed as he works nights, so I'm not getting a lot done, but next week he starts a new job yeh days so happy.

Now was at hospital with daughter on Thursday 5th, and was told that she has 'hyper mobility syndrome', so the doctor says - try and keep her still for about 10 minuets every hours because she's in pain, he's concerned cos she doesn't speak properly yet - keep my daughter still rofl, pmsl, lol - whatever.

Right kids need to be dressed, and then off to dance -  she loves it so much that i can't take it away from her because of a diagnosis.

Will catch up later......

Back to housework and crafting

Well tomorrow the 4th september my darling duo go back to school after a very long and stressful 6 weeks.

My darling daughter has a hard year a head of her, my Shabi has Down's Syndrome and is such a remarkable little girl.  She can't talk properly and is still in nappies at age 4, but is in main stream school, but if she falls behind with her peers then we will be sending her to a special education school in 2014, we are also hoping that a local charity ''Sunshine Fund'' will get her an i-pad for her education as there are some remarkable software to help children with Down's.

So tonight am making lists of stuff I need to finish and start in my crafting. I have a group which is great to meet and discuss crafting stuff and just swap idea's https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftyfairygodmothers/

Home wise I am working on something called Flylady and the Filofax https://www.facebook.com/groups/147179788687326/ - yes I love my filofax's and I need to be more organized.  I'll show you what I'm doing later in another post.

Health wise my Bipolar has brought me nothing but unhappiness lately my mood is all over the place :( and I am paranoid about certain things, but I think it the change of meds and being destroyed mentally by so called friends, least I have a great husband :)

Right time to settle the kids down and put uniforms out and put pack lunch up, then lists and organising a new Filofax.

Gentle hugs for those in need.

Hello, and welcome

I started this blog cos I have so much to give and so much to learn.

I am Bipolar and suffer from Fibro, and I don't do socializing well, and have recently had my confidence battered badly.

I have some wonderful on-line friends seems to be the only relationships I can handle,

This blog will be about my crafting which keeps me sane, and about my ups and downs.

I'm not perfect, but I try to be me but some times that's hard.  Welcome.
