All Change

I’m back. Did you notice I was gone??

The past month has been a write off for the Darcy clan. We have been enveloped in our own little sickness bubble and are just returning to full capacity. Firstly I caught a pretty awful virus which I passed to Mr D. Because we are a giving and sharing kind of a couple he then passed it back to me threefold resulting in a late night trip to A&E follwed by drips and steroid doses.

Last Monday I was all set to return to work when our house received a visit from the pox…

We refused to be intimidated by the spots as, as some of you may recall, this time last year we were fighting meningitis, so chickenpox is a walk in the park for us.

Anyway, as a result, and as the clothesline is a one woman operation, the website has been lacking in new products and some orders have taken a few days to get out. We’re now back to full operation and I’m currently wading through the backlog of clothes, which will trickle on to the site over the next week or two.

Its been all change around here. Sean has graduated from primary school and is preparing to drag his size nine feet into the big bad world. While he feels ready, his Mother is not coping as well. Come September, theres a distinct possibility of my following him into class and demanding that everyone treat him as the delicate flower I believe him to be, while resisting the urge to kiss his face off in front of his teachers and classmates.

Freya is about to lose her first tooth. While some might consider this to be less than newsworthy, where Freya is concerned, everything is drama. We have to conduct hourly assessments as to the looseness of said tooth in direct comparison to the looseness status in the previous hour. I’m also conducting a survey as to the current tooth fairy rates. Has the fairy been hit by the recession? Is a first tooth worth more than subsequent teeth? These are important questions in the current economic climate.

As for Zach, well yesterday my baby turned three. I like to mark my kids birthdays with a blog post in which I talk about how they’ve grown and my hopes and dreams for their future. Here follows my heartfelt message for Zach on this special day…..

My Darling Beautiful Child,

Please, stop wrecking the house,

Lots of Love,

Mother
