Light at the end of the tunnel,
although it feels like a very long tunnel....................

One of my philosophy's in life is doing things for the future, whether that be working hard to get that promotion at work, saving to go on holiday, training to lead a healthier lifestyle or just planning for the up and coming weekend so as a family we make the most of it. The light at the end of the tunnel signifies I'm hoping to have eradicated our families sickness bug sometime soon so we can get back to some kind of normality. Since the start of the year its been really tough. Sickness has plagued the whole family and the last couple of weeks have been no different. Nikki and Nyah started on Friday with the sickness and diarrhoea bug that they had some two weeks ago which lasted till Sunday afternoon. Thinking that was it and we were over the worst, I came down with awful stomach cramps and sickness on Sunday night along with Ciara in which I am in bed now writing this still not feeling great. The doctor explained that last time when we all had the bug, we hadn't got rid of it fully and as a result this is why it has made a second appearance. He advised that to let nature takes its course and take no Imodium or sickness medicine so we got rid of it fully. In doing this the last 48 hours have been pretty tough but touch wood we are all over the worst of it. One positive, this six pack is coming on treat!

Nikki has been brilliant. She has looked after the three of us while we have been ill and still kept the fortress running. Non stop all day feeding, entertaining, cleaning and washing.

Im really hoping to feel back to normal within the next couple of days and in doing so getting back into a routine. Spring feels like it has arrived as the sun has been shining bright the last couple of mornings, the temperatures have jumped upto around 10dgc and the nights are getting a bit lighter.

Light at the end of the tunnel

To the end of the sickness bugs and the cold winter days

Have a good week and avoid the bugs.
