A New Chapter

Being that tonight is the last time that I write in here, I was hoping to finally include a really nice family photo. However, as now the 4 of us are all incredibly sick there is just no way. I certainly don't want to see myself in my pyjamas looking like death warmed up, and I'm certain that no one else wants to see that either. I was doing alright last night thinking that I had escaped the sickness that had plagued my 3 men, but when I realised that neither of my little boys were going to sleep through the night, I knew that things had got me. I had 90 minutes sleep last night and that was distributed intermittently amongst the night.

Evidently I cancelled my client for the day because I simply could not move, let alone work. Moving on, our day was spent sleeping, drinking fluids, dealing with tissues and addressing kids with a fever. On a positive note, by the end of the day both boys were feeling a little better, and so was my husband. I'll be much better once I get some sleep and all my joints stop hurting.

I have had fun writing over the year. It will be a little sad to finish up writing in here, but I want to move on to something different. I challenged myself and set a goal, and achieved it so I'm excited about what I decide to do next. I will have another blog, and once my mushed up brain gets some clarity I'll let you know what I decide to do. Stay tuned for a new chapter.

There is one thing that I would have loved to have written about throughout the year, and that's an entry from Bailey's perspective. Upon reflection though I realised the post would have gone something like this.

        I'm Bailey and I love destruction. I also love to wake up really early when it's still dark outside and tell mummy to make train tracks for all my trains. I can make them but I like to see mummy make them through half opened eyes. I also like to hear mummy tell me that it's too early and that I should be asleep. That's no fun. I'm having fun watching mummy struggling to meet my demands. As soon as mummy has made what could possibly be the best train track ever, I destroy it. I could play with it but destroying it is so much better. The rest of the day involves me refusing to sit at the table to eat any food. I like to walk about 5 kilometres around the house before I eat any food. Then I like to run. I run inside, outside and anywhere that my little legs will carry me. I like to see mummy run too. She does well to keep up to me when my ultimate goal is to run as fast and as far away as I can. Well done. I destroy things. My big brother Brandon builds things and I love to destroy it. In fact my eyes light up when I see anyone attempting to build something. It gives me great pleasure and is an endless source of entertainment. Then I go to bed and wake up the next day and do it all over again. I have a great life!

And so I say farewell. Thanks to everyone who has ever read what I wrote. I look forward to one day sitting down with the 2 boys and flicking through the pages of our life together. I look forward to seeing what the boys get up to in their life. At the moment Brandon wants to be a daddy and an artist. I'm not sure what Bailey wants to do yet but I think he'll either own a confetti factory and rip up paper all day, own a running track and run all day or own a destruction company and destroy things all day. I love you all my beautiful family and I wish everyone all the very best in health and happiness.
