Broken

Well what a day I've had today.
It started of lovely and at 7.50am I was walking down the stairs and boom step on Sushi cat and down I go!

At first I was more worried about the cat tham myself. I put ice on my wrist and got my daughter ready for school.
Still being in pain I took some strong painkillers. On the walk to school my wrist got very swollen and I made the disision that I should got ti A&E.

One of the lovely mums said she would give me a lift and Makeshiftmummy said she would pick up my daughter. So off to the hospital my son and I went.

When I got there it was empty. This is quite unusual for my new local hospital. I was quickly seen by the nurse and sent through to minors. I waited there for a little while, while my son decied to entertain the only person apart from us in the waiting area but going to every empty chair and saying its colour.

I was then called into see the nurse practitioner who sent me to x-ray after explaining what had happened for the second time. Off to X-ray we went. When I was called in I found out that my son could not come in with me. Normaly I have someone with me but on this occation I was by myself. Lucky for me a very nice old gentleman said he would watch my son for me while I had the x-ray. I wish that the hospital would put up a notice to tell you that unless it is the child who needs the x-ray they can not come in with you.

I had 7 images taken, by which time I knew something was wrong. Normaly they only take 2-4 when I have had x-rays of my list before.

So back to minors I went. By this time my son wanted to go home and was playing up. I was quickly called back in to be told that my wrist was broken. While I was waiting for the back slab, plaster of paris half cast, put on we got to wait in childrens A&E where all the toys are so my son could play while we waited for the plaster to be put on.

We got called in about 15 mins later and the plaster cast put on. After I finished I was given an appointment for fracture clinic where I will have the fiberglass cast put on.

So thanks Sushi cat!!!

Who am I

This is a good question...
I am a mother, wife, daughter, friend, naughbour, church goer, consumer, pet owner, the list goes on and on.

But who am I!
Yes I am all these things and more but is it my experience that makes me me? My experience changes me, hopefully for the better, all the time. I am diffrent today than I was yesterday. A future me will be diffrent from the me of today.

At one point in my life I thought I knew who I was but now I'm not so sure anymore. Since becoming a mum I have had my fair share of things that have happened as I have explained in my first few blogs.

Most of the time I am mum it is mummy can I have this or that. The mummy who walks them to school and back, which I will be doing six time a day from September. I am the mummy that tells them off when they are naughty. I am the mummy that gives them cuddles. I am the mummy that looks after them when they are ill or injured.

Then when they go to bed I am a wife who cooks and feeds her husband. I do have some me time as my hubby puts the children to bed most nights, unless he has to go out. Then I become a TV addict which really just another lable put on me.

When I do get to go out, Thursday night I go to evening service at church. I class this a me time but actully it is time for me to pray to god. As our last curret said 'Prayer is wasting time with God'. So that is me as the church goer.

So again Who am I...

I'm not sure I can really put my finger on it...

What does everyone else feel?

Sports Day

Today was my daughters first sports day. Being in the nursary class they only run two races, one a sprint race and the other was a obsitical race.

So the class was split into groups of 5 and first it was the sprint. My little girl was first until half way down the course when her sun hat fell off. She hesitated, thinking should she pick it up, but she carried on and came 3rd.

Then it was the obsitical race again she set off doing all the obsiticals this time holding her hat on her head.

I am so proud of her doing so well.

Parent Teacher Consultation

Today is the last consultation I will have for my daughter in her nursary year.
Where has the time gone?!

She has grown up so much in that time. Not only is she taller but she is smarter and can write her name. She is becoming quite a little lady and that is all thanks to her teacher Mrs Horner.

So at 12 noon today I find out how she has progressed throught out the year. 

Well back from the school and she has done so well. She is very bright and doing work way above her age group. 
Am very glad there are no dyslexic traits showing up. 

We have to keep up her learning over the
summer holidays.

Accidents

Why is it that children seem to have accidents and then do the same thing again less than a week later!

Well this happens to us all the time. Like today, after having a lovely meeting about my daughter going into reception and then a nice look around the local garden centre. I got back to school to be told she had fallen over her own feet and had a very nasty looking cut on her nose. Which is broken, not much can be done and the doctors don'y even x-ray then any more.

This only being just a week since she hurt her nose on the walk to school!
Some people say it just that she is growing.

I just hope it heals quickly

Three Phantoms

Well what a night I had last night. I went to see Three Phantoms at Milton Keynes. As a late birthday present for my birthday last year.

Before the show we went for dinner at Giraffe restaurant as I had £40 vouchers. The food was so yummy and the puddings were, well let me put it this way I think it is going to take me a week to burn off the calories!

After a short walk to the theatre we were let in and where we sat in the second row from the front, nice and close. The opening of the show was so funny and we were told that we could take photos and film if we wish and it was encouraged.
(see pics below)

The show was a mix of songs from musical theatre with a big section on the various versions of The Phantom of the Opera, including Love Never Dies, which is set 10 years after phantom, finally ending with The Phantom of the Opera.
The cast are all former members of the show, who have played The Phantom, Mr Earl Carpenter, Mr Stephen John Davis & Mr Matt Cammelle.
And no Phantom would be without his Christine and we were delighted to be in the presents of the great, wonderful and beautiful Rebecca Caine, who originated the role of Cosette in Les Mis and was also the Canadian Christine staring next to Colm Wilkinson.

My husband, not normally a musical fan, that's my thing, really enjoyed himself too. (quote from his twitter account: How refreshing to be entertained by real singers who know their craft! Really enjoyed tonights show @Three_Phantoms #autocorrectnotrequired)

As we were allowed to film I took this footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ0lu1B1vww of Stephen singing Mr Cellophane from Chicago.

The photo above is the Three Phantoms talking about the Phantom

I came away from the theatre buzzing after a funny and very very enjoyable show and I finally got to meet Stephen and Rebecca who I have chatted to on twitter. They were both very kind and possed for pictures with me. I so want to go again and the next time they are near where I live is two days after my birthday
