The phone rings. I pick up. “Hello?” “Sarah, it’s Bee” “Oh, hi Bee.” I sigh, I’m not really in the mood to talk to anyone from JC’s school. “You know JC has this school excursion into the city tomorrow. In light of his recent issues, I have been asked to accompany them in an incognito…

And so it begins
2013 is well and truly upon me. It hasn’t been a quiet start to the year. Lots has happened. New years on a boat in Melbourne harbour (that was fun!), my dad coming over from the UK with his new partner (perhaps not so fun adjusting, but nice anyway), school starting for JC and Jay…
The art of frustration
Today has been frustrating. I just could not get going. I have had an undercurrent of anger bubbling beneath the surface and it hasn’t left me. Actually, anger is not the right word. Frustration is definitely right. There hasn’t been a reason for it. Well, except for the stupid fact that I keep forgetting…
Identity Theft, Hacking, Fraud. Yes, I am angry!
I am rushing on the way to a much needed manicure when I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. I look at the incoming message. Your PayPal account has been credited with $489 to xyxy airlines. What the – I haven’t bought any tickets. Another buzz. Your PayPal account has been credited with $576…
The daily hum drum of Autism
JC isn’t at school today. He isn’t really ALL that sick. He is tired. End of school term exhaustion. I got a phone call yesterday to say I had to collect JC from school as he had vomited. I don’t believe JC is really ill. JC is a dab hand at vomiting on demand….
A journey of self discovery
It’s Friday night. Dee has gone to bed. Joanna Lumley is on television showing us all her wonderful Greek Odyssey. I love the soothing melody of her voice. I love her emotion and her delight at every point of her journey. Although, I’m not really paying attention. I’m doing my usual. I’m seeking. I’m looking…
The aftermath
While Jay and Em are holding Baby C, Jay comments that she is still in a fair amount of pain. The midwife explains that this is because she still has to deliver the placenta. I become aware that the midwife and the student midwife have both had a go at tugging the cord to help…
Baby C is here!!
Wow! What a week it has been! Where to begin dear diary. Well, on Wednesday – that would be the 20th June – I woke up feeling so much better after having been laid up for nearly two weeks with a terribly painful back. It is a problem I have had for the last 20…
Teenage pregnancy – is it so bad?
Jay is still pregnant. 36 weeks and four days. Of course, this is a good thing, but there is no denying that we are now getting impatient. We just want to meet the little man that has continuously kept us on our toes for over 10 weeks now. Jay is feeling very heavy, tired and…
The realisation
I am not a writer. How do I know this? A friend commented on my blog yesterday. I only pick it up today. I notice he has a blog. I didn’t even know he had a blog. I visit his blog. It is a blog about writing. Transpires he writes a lot. He is a…
