Pulling my Daughter out of preschool....

So 2 weeks ago, my daughters preschool nearly killed her.
Yes you read that right.
They did not give her ANY insulin ALL day...she is a  type 1 diabetic.
By the time I collected her she had grey skin and blue lips and her eyes were sunken.
I honestly think I got there just in time...
She could not walk, talk or hear me.
I am currently going through writing a complaint, but find it upsetting.

Removing her from pre-school was not an easy decision for me, I try and think of the positives...like they are nearing the end of the school year.

But in all honesty keeping her home is harder then I thought it would be.
'O' used to be seriously shy, I was even told she was a silent mute!
And preschool has helped her out and she has came on leaps and bounds.

Already she is showing signs of being shy again, and it breaks my heart to watch her.
As her mother I feel responsible.
I am trying my best to keep her mind and body busy with tons of activities and playgroups etc,

Has anybody been through similar and have any suggestions? Please do comment below.

My diet.....

Just a quick upset in-case anybody is left wondering my diet is ok.
I feel back on track and very focused and I have even started exercises again.
I honestly did not realise how much I missed it, and feel a slight obsession starting ha!

Last week I lost 7.5lbs
I do not feel any thinner yet but my legs feel strange today, while walking, lighter I guess?

Still a long way to go, but I'm going to get there I can feel It!

On the 16th of June I tried on my bridesmaid dress for my mum's wedding and I am trying it on again on the 18th of July...and challenged myself to loose a stone in that time..so pretty chuffed with 7.5 already :)

I might brave a picture soon :/

Has started my Christmas shopping!

I know I know.... its June.
I am usually one of these people who want to poke a sharp object into early Christmas shoppers eyes...when did I become one?

It kind of happened by accident to be perfectly honest.
'S' is turning 6 next week.
I have wrapped her gifts ready and then the following day saw a couple of things in the shop, so they have been put away..

Within 48 hours her sisters also had a Christmas present each put away :/ So it has begun.
So the plan is to shop as I see.

Everything bought so far has been on sale to so very handy.
I am hoping by the end of October the kids will be sorted and then I can just buy family gifts and be all wrapped and ready by December the 1st?

Who am I kidding?

Somebody poke me  with a fork!

Have you started?
Do you love Christmas?

'Kid free' weekend away...FAIL!

If you have read my last blog you would of seen that me and the bloke had booked a hotel for ourselves for the first time ever...no children allowed.
It was a huge deal for us, as we don't find it easy to leave them.
Well we did it we drove to the hotel, then we did a ton of shopping it was lovely just being us, for a change not being in mummy and daddy mode.
We went for a lovely meal, and had Japanese food.
Another first for us!
We slumped back to the hotel tired out from face paced walking and having to carry our own shopping...who knew I would miss the buggy?!
And then we got the text...everything went downhill...
'O's blood sugars were high and her grandparents could not get them down and they were rising fast.
They don't feel comfortable injecting and from that text on we packed up knowing we would have to go home.
Gutted.
We had been up since 6am and that was after a rough night before aswel, and we finally got to bed at 4.30am- we were then again up at 6am.

At 6 am we got a phone call to be told the blokes Grandmother wouldn't wake up, she was found frothing from her mouth and had been rushed to hospital.
I have also blogged about his grandmother before so if you have not already go and have a read its heartbreaking, and tearing us all apart :(
Well we now think this may be her time, she is in a coma, and the doctors don't think she is going to wake up from it.
She said a few days ago she wants to die now, that she has had enough.
I don't want her to leave, but in another sense it would be the kindest thing for her to just sleep her way to heaven now.
The doctors assure us she is in no pain.
She deserves to be painfree at the very least as this magical lady has taken on brain cancer 4 times now.

So this weekend was a complete wash out, but there is no time to dwell, we have to get up and carry on.
