I’ve been a little quiet over here and that’s not usually me! I have always written on my blog daily (well pretty much) and since December I have been a real hit and miss. I think I’ve needed some time out, and over the next month I don’t expect to be blogging much again. I have my looming surgery in a few days and I have not been well enough to even get up some days. A combination of general unwellness, anxiousness and feeling like the world needs to stop until it’s all over… I am fine though, no major dramas, I just have a little bump in the road and can’t focus on much else until it’s all done.
When the doctor asked me back in early December when I wanted my surgery I said not before Christmas and he said he was away all of January. I said no probs that means I won’t be having it until the very end of February because there were 3 things in my mind I HAD to be a part of before the surgery….
They were…
- Getting my middle boy sorted at high school
- Taking my little kid to a particular cricket game that was important to him
- Be a part my eldest’s 16th birthday and be there to see him get his L-plates
I woke up today knowing all of those 3 tasks are done and now I am ready for me to get fixed up, and start a new chapter.
You know when you have things in your head you NEED to tick off before you can allow yourself to do anything else? That’s where I’ve been at for the last few months.
I also thought I would go in to this surgery feeling quite well and organised, but that hasn’t happened. I haven’t been physically able to do tasks I normally love to do – like a good clean up of cupboards, or the windows, or just some deep cleaning. My Mum is coming to stay here with the kids and I said to her yesterday I haven’t been able to clean like I normally would and I didn’t want her to think I was a slob…. She just laughed (she would never think that anyway, it’s me being over the top as usual) and told me to pause for now because in a few months I’ll be back bouncing around feeling better than ever. She’s right.
I can’t wait for this all to be over. I can’t wait to hopefully feel a little better. I know I will! I have to be patient and keep going.
I’ll pop back in here when I can… but if I don’t, then I will definitely be on Instagram and will add to my stories when I can. ♥ KC.

I have been thinking about you alot lately. Partly because my own son has been disgnosed with Crohns and your inspiration gives me hope that all will be ok. Mostly I have been thinking about your courage and vulnerability as a woman, wife, mother and online person. I can’t pretend to know what you endure daily but I am really wishing you a smooth recovery into the start of a whole new brighter chapter of your life. X

As February rolled around, I have been thinking of you. Even as a more ‘mature’ long time follower, you inspire me and often make me smile with your family adventures. Thank you for sharing and for keeping it so real. This appears so trivial…leaving a comment when you have that rather major hump looming. Sending you and your family very best wishes in the coming weeks. Please take care and find strength in knowing that we all send you much love and support. Just concentrate on yourself now and take as long as required to get to a place where you are comfortable and happy and feeling so much better. I’m sure I speak for many when I say, we will all be here ready to offer support when or if you feel like sharing once again. Hugs x
