Modern Mum Is Back

Well, here I am back after a couple of months away from blogging... (not by choice though). Lets just say it has been a rather manic couple of months with one thing or another. Firstly, which is the main reason for a two month break in blogging, is due to my lovely boyfriend, who after getting off the bus, and walking down to my house, tripped over the kerb at the side of the road, and basically broke his shoulder. He broke it so badly that he moved in with me, because he literally could not do anything for himself, so I was getting up through the night for him, getting him pills, running him to the Dr's, getting him dressed, and bathing him etc.. it was like having another child, although he was much harder work, because he wanted to do things for himself, but simply couldn't, and it frustrated him so bad, but we have got through it. Now 2 months on and we are doing a lot better. He has more feeling in his arm, but has still not got full movement back. He can do everything for himself now other than his socks, but because he is back to being almost fully independent, I have a bit more time to do what I need to.

Just before Christmas I became a Mother to a teenager, and let me tell you that is another blog!Christmas was next and we had so much stuff it was unreal, but we got there. I was glad when it was over with, but I then had the worry of my now teenager going into hospital for his operation. It was what I have been waiting for and the nearer the date it got, the more worried I became, Apart from the fact that his Dad was going to be taking him, and well my feelings towards that bloke are not great, and he has never lived with his son let alone looked after him overnight before, so I was worried about how all that was going to go.

My Sister-in-Law came down at Christmas and stayed with my parents and brother for the whole 2 weeks of the kids school holidays, and it was so lovely to spend time with them, and to have them here with us. However, all was not good, when My 13 year old son decided that he would become some kind of jealous, nasty and downright horrible child. He hates the idea of sharing his Nan and Grandad with anyone, so when he had to share his Grandparents with my sister-in-laws son, who is a couple of years younger than him, he decided that he would kick off, which consequently made everyone else angry and at one point my Dad even drove him to my sons Dad's house to tell him that he either stopped the behaviour or he went to live with his Dad. It did calm down a little bit, but of course he is a teenager and naturally hormones are going crazy and he is getting his not so charming attitude problem back again. (Lucky Me)
