Jealousy

The curse that it is.

I am jealous at the moment, jealous of people whose children can just go to school....jealous that all they have to worry about is if their child falls over or is called nasty names ( I do know this is serious by the way, please don't think I am saying it is insignificant). Jealous that all they have to do is to think of what they don't eat from their lunch boxes...My baby can't "just" go to school, she needs a certain amount of formula to sustain her, she could get so so sick from another child's lunchbox or illness...At the moment I am jealous...

But you know I am also grateful to be able to be jealous. I read another blog of a mummy who right now wishes she was sending her princess off to school but who is now an angel and I know I am lucky...so so so so so lucky...

There always is

Magic through the madness...Some days I really really need to remind myself to look for it...

The madness that is a house full of two gorgeous fiesty princesses, one nearly 8 and one just five. The house full of a man and woman who haven't slept a full night in....oh over 5 years....who try to be wife/husband/mother/father/son/daughter/small business owner/small business owners wife/parent of a child with medical issues/parent of a sibling of a child with medical issues/friend.

The magic that is the fact that through all of this...I am truly blest. We still laugh together every single day...And our children laugh too..sometimes at us, well mainly at their dad, but every day we share laughter and truly for that we are blest. The magic of two girls discovering the joy of being sisters. Who equally love and frustrate each other. The magic that is watching your child grow and knowing that time is fleeting and we need to cherish each and every precious (and not so precious) moment.
