DEPRESSION

I haven't felt like my normal happy go lucky self now for a few months.
Friends and family have tried to cheer me up with no luck.
It got to the stage where i stayed in my pyjamas for days, i didn't want to leave the house and just let the house get a total mess.

So last week i went to the doctors and got some antidepressants,  i was also offered the chance to go and talk to someone, but im not very good at opening up so decided against this.

So far i still feel low and not myself but the doctor did say they take 2-4weeks to start working.

Depression can effect you in many ways and effects each person differently. Their are also various causes.
With mine im feeling low all the time, im always tierd and feeling drained and stressed all the time.
I can see and feel the differance in me and i hate it. i hate how i feel and hate how it may effect my children.

Sorry for the depressing boring post, but im hoping that if i blog about how im feeling and whats going through my mind and so forth that it may help in some way.

I would be really greatful if any of my followers or anyone who reads this post have any tips ans hints on what to do, ways to try and help myself feel better.

Truprint review. Part 1

 www.truprint.co.uk 

I was lucky to recieve a few items from truprint to review.

To use the website i first set up an account which is free and easy to do and takes less than 5minuites.

Once my account was set up i had a good look around at the website and at what products were avalible.

You can choose from photo prints and various sizes. stationary. gifts and canvas prints plus much more.
All prices are clear to see and contact details are easy to find.
When purchasing from the website you can pay by various methods including paypal.

Truprint also have an app you can download onto your android phone where once downloaded you can sign into your account and upload your pictures, share them and order.

The photos i recieved were 6*4 in size and were photos i had taken using my mobile phone which has a 5mp camera.
They were easy to upload to the site and once on their were placed in an album.
My albums on their go by the date they were uploaded although you can choose to name your albums.

After ordering my photo prints i got a conformation email confirming my order which also stated times for printing and posting.
I recieved my order within four days of ordering them and they came well packaged.
As the photos i ordered had been taken using my mobile phone i didn't expect them to be great quality and thought they may end up being a little grainy but i'm pleased to say that they weren't the quality of them is exellent and im really pleased and will certainly be ordering more prints from them as i have hundreds of the children i want printing.

I also recieved a few other items which i will be reviewing in another post

I have recieved these prints to review free of charge.
All opinions are my own

ARGHHH STRESSED

Well as many of my readers may no i have a 3year old. she is my youngest and god she makes me feel like i just want to scream.
Don't get me wrong i love her to bits and wouldn't change her for the world but she is so naughty, full of life, attitude everything you expect from a teenanger not a toddler.

I tidy up and within minuites she trashes the place.
I tell her of and she shouts and hits me.
Today i have been told by her to get out of her life, I don't think she understands what she is saying when she says it but still it hurts.
This girl of mine bounces from wall to wall and no matter what we do is always full of beans. she doesn't sleep untill 12-2am and im soo tierd i just want to scream shout and cry and sleep for a few days try and get some enery back.
Do any of you have proplems like this and feel like i am at this momment in time, if so what do you do. how do you control the tempers burn the energy of?
Any advice accepted.

sorry for my mini rant

Christmas and new year 2013

I haven't blogged for a while as i still don't have a laptop so im blogging tonight from my phone.
So for christmas this year me and the kids went to spend it with my friend and her children, it was different but we all had a really good day and the kids all enjoyed themselves.

Both DJ and Ruby were spoilt and had so many presents that alot of them are still in their boxes and yet to be played with.

New years eve we did what we normally do. that is going down to a friends house, my mum and stepdad also come and we all had some food, few drinks and music and some fireworks and sparklers in the garden.

Happy new year and best wishes for 2014 to all my followers.
I hope you all had a fab time. What did you get up to?

ASD??

Well as many of you who have read my previous blogposts regarding DJ you will no he has dyslexia and dyspraxia.
We have also found out he has some low muscle tone and is double jointed in his hips.
ohh i remember the days when i was flexible and could walk like a crab and get into many strange posistions. its funny now watching DJ able to do it.
But on his last apptiontment with the OT she said she thought DJ may be on the asd spectrum but that if he is it is only very mild...
So we have now been referred to various other agencys although some have a 12month waiting list.
It will explain a few things if we find out for sure that he has. such as the love if routine and time spent being alone amongst other things.
If any of my followers have children or relatives that are on the asd spectrum i would be greatful of any advice/tips on how to cope with the routine. fear of various things and noises and so on.

My best friends birthday

Yesterday was my best friends birthday. unfortently i only managed to get a few pics.
one of me with my friends daughter and another of a friends leg cast that we had all done some silly random drawings.
As it was a week day and knowing we would have to get up early today we decided against going out and a few of us got together for pizza and a few drinks.
between us we had 10 portions of chips. 5 large pizzas and 2 cheesy garlic breads and boy was it yummy.
It was a good night loads if chatting few drinks and plenty of giggles.
I was glad to celebrate my birthday with my friend. we have known each other now 9years, not once have we had a bad word to say or an argument and i have to say she is always their for me.
I would be lost with out her sometimes.
So i would just like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A TRUE FRIEND LOVE YOU MILLIONS and hope u had a fab day and night and heres to the weekend celebrations whooo

Yummy Mummy

I was lucky enough to be able to go away for a week at the beginning of the summer holidays.
Ruby went to stay with her dad and Dj went to stay with his aunty and uncle.
I went to catch up with an old friend with whom i worked with 10year ago and i hadnt seen since leaving the job.
Now i have to admit i get up in the morning get the kids sorted and have a quick shower and always end up throwing anything on. hair up and no make up.

now im not saying their is anything wrong with that as i feel comfy this way, but i do sometimes feel like a scruff.

whilst i was away i got to have a few nights out and to dress up. Boy it felt good. i forgot what it was like to dress up and wear make up.

i felt so good. confidence was high got loads of compliments and as you can see from the pic im smiling.

so i have decided from now on i am going to make an effort with myself at least a few times a week.
