It’s been a while. A long while, actually. It’s amazing how busy looking after two little humans (and one big human) can keep you. But now that Orla has started going to nursery two days a week, it’s time for me to try to get some of myself back. I’ve started working again, I’ve joined a gym, and I’ve finally started writing the book that I’ve been trying to find time to write for years. And hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze the odd blog post in now and again….
I’ll keep it short and sweet, as my two Orla-free days seem to fly by so I haven’t got much time. Since I last posted, we’ve moved house, Poppy’s lost seven teeth, I’ve finally got divorced after a five-year separation (hurrah!), Poppy’s turned six, Orla’s turned one, I’ve changed (roughly) seven million nappies, we’ve been to Ireland twice, have had a household full of illness all winter (which included pneumonia), have wiped about three litres of snot from Orla’s nose, and we’ve had three fairies move into Poppy’s bedroom, which, believe me, is a stressful business.
Poppy’s new year’s resolution is to learn to ride her bike, Orla’s is to learn to walk (according to Poppy), and Paddy’s is to learn to drive. Mine is to learn how to juggle everything I have to do without drowning. I’ll keep you posted on our progress…wish us luck!
