A Bit Of Everything
*Yawn* .
Im not sure how much energy i have for blogging tonight , its been a long day . It was once again time for our local country fair (i talk about it here) .
As with everything it was not without its drama . To start with we took our picnic down to the park , the girls could play and there was grass for Ru to crawl about. Then we realised the girls were shoeless AND we could not find the shoes anywhere, it is kinda funny thinking of now but at the time we were all in a panic - the shoes and socks were GONE . Eventually i got a hold of hubby who brought us an extra set down , of course 5 minutes later we found them (strangely about 5 minutes away from the park near the pony ride).
The girls all got a go on the ponies and a few fair ground rides , Becca got her first taste of the Waltzers and she loved them. Becca is not feeling to great though she did have her moments of running around , most of the afternoon was spent pushing Ru in the pram and carrying Becca in the sling (what a site that must have been lol)
Talking of Becca she gave us a scare last night , she has been off since Wednesday . Some points she seems fine and others so tired and feverish with a nasty cough. Craig woke me up around 10.30 last night (i had fell asleep watching tv in the living room) saying she was coughing up blood. She was asking for me so i went to her and we snuggled while Craig called NHS 24 , for a few moments i was so convinced it was all happening again . It strange how i think its behind us then bang the fear is back again.
Rebecca turned round and her face was bloody , looking clearly at her i thought it was easy to tell the blood had came from her nose (when she coughed bringing it through her throat) . Craig looked closely to and i think he agreed BUT it was to late , the wheels had already been set in motion and the hospital wanted her brought in .
At 11 pm our poor girl was taken from her bed to the local hospital , where she was checked over then sent to another hospital (the one she had her surgery etc… at) . She was checked out and despite them worrying and telling hubby that she would be taken to surgery shortly , they seemed worried for some reason that her body was rejecting the graft after all this time. THEN they checked her nose and it started bleeding, and bleeding ….and they beleive us it was just a bloody nose.
They got back home just after 3 this morning , all that worry for a freaking nose bleed.
I don’t blame hubby though , i don’t know what i would of thought if i just turned around and she was coughing up blood. Scary scary…
Craig does pick his timings though , tomorrow he flies to Germany for the week. I know plenty of parents to the single parenting gig all the time but i don’t . If going to be a long hard few days, i moan about him but will miss him like crazy . Kids are going to be lost without daddy.
I am proud of him , he will be doing a lecture there regarding the work he is doing . This is a big opportunity for him , and he admits it a scary one . Last year at this time he was just graduating and now presenting his work is at a major European Physics conference. So proud of how far he has came

Eek! So glad Becs is ok!
The single parenting thing is harder when you’re waiting for your OH to come back - everything seems to be put on hold almost. At least it’s just a few days!

How scary about the blood! Even if it was a bloody nose, it sounds like it was a lot of blood! Hope things go well for your husband!

That must have been scary.
Good luck on your own for the week, I wouldn’t imagine it is easy….

I always get scared at the sight of blood. It’s even scarier when it’s one of your babies. Glad she’s ok x
