AND guess what else.....i'm typing back on my computer woohooooooooo honestly i was like a big kid again when i turned it back on although i was mighty scared it wouldn't work. But basically the laptop was due to be picked up yesterday, but then mid morning another package from PC world arrived and it was the correct lead this time so bobs your uncle it turned on then half hour later the company then came to take it away oh no no!!! noone was taking it away from me now lol, so no idea what PC was up too but they would of recieved one very stroppy letter so shall wait to see what response i get from them. Oh but how nice is this to be tapping away I'm so sad or any of you addicted as well?!?!?!

right way too early in the morning but as its dry at moment i'm going to plant some bulbs, tidy up back garden, wash down front door then hoover out car, then adam got a party to go to later then i shall get my bum on here and post some cards although to late for the challenges

still no computer

HI all thanks for your comments adam is improving every day although totally knocked the stuffing out of him this has, but hope we are on the way up and i think the prospect of his birthday next thursday is helping.

Now onto the horrid part no computer for god knows how long arrghhhh don't know how going to cope to be honest pc world are in my bad books big time, sent the wrong leads and now have to send pc away to get fixed and could take up to 14 working days arrghhhhh, so shall be nipping to friends house or like here at the library to keep a check on things not good at all,

love and hugs to you all from me and adam xx

OH NO!!!!

Hi all two diasters have struck in my household, firstly my laptop cables and plug ones have gone so now wainting for new power cables to arrive tomorrow so hoping that is the problem and i don't have to send my computer away as it will be gone for 7-10 days arghhhhh, so this morning quickly nipping on my friends one to catch up.

Now the bummer one adam has been diagnosed with the dreaded swine flu and sadly he is a very poorly boy ended up at hospital sat night with him as he was quite unresponsive and his temperature had spiked to 41.3oC so i knew this was not good. they reckon he has picked it up as his immune system low from his operation, and on phoning the school this morning he only 1st case confirmed has to be my boy to spread it round the school!!! so now looking after a poorly boy and trying to contain his pku levels as well so a bit of a stressed an non sleeping house hold oh the joys!!!! just got to get adam better for next week as its his birthday, and i so so do not want it so i'm drugging my self now with vitamins.

grrrrrr, i so hope to back tomorrow peeps as got some cardsto show and i want to be back in the world of blogging, facebook and normality as a computer is normality for me (HOW SAD)

happy birthday to me and update

Hi all yes its my birthday grand old age of 32 now!!! but to be honest its not really felt like my birthday at all. As u know adam was to go into hospital on thurs which he did and after his operation on friday he had a severe reaction to either the pre-med or general anesthetic or both so we only got out out this afternoon and only cos they are hoping that adam might drink a little better at home and if not then he has to go back in again tomorrow so i'm so hoping that he picks up pretty quick as the childrens hospital in glasgow (yorkhill) struggled with his dietary needs and obviously a stressful time for me and adam. so since home i've just been trying to make adam better.
so thankyou for messages on here and facebook folks so appreciated xx

P.S as i've not been about i'm going to extend my birthday candy till the end of the week as if i'm back in hossie tomorrow then i'm not about to post plus postal strikes etc, so folks get posting on blog candy and i might even be extra nice and show a piccie of the prize!!!!!

sad day today

Another sceduled post from me today, but felt like i needed to mention my little stillborn baby boy george that died when i gave birth to him. 4 years today he was born asleep and i shall never forget him he has such a special place in my heart, he was perfect when he was born but sadly his umbilical cord had strangled him which is why he died.

You can also see from my sidebar link that it is actually babyloss week as well and at 7pm tonight there is a wave of light all across the world for people to remember their babies that have died. so tonight a candle will be burning away for little georgie. also usually me and adam release a balloon for george with messages on but this year i have found a sky lantern that we shall be releasing tonight, should be a great effect seeing this go up into the sky for georgie to catch.
Love you all loads my bloggy friends take care Emma and adam xxx and an angel kiss from george x

where has it gone

Hi all i've lost my mojo, but hoping cos my last couple of days has been so mad that is the reason, well last night i had my first ever night shift so yesterday i tried desperatly to have a kip but nope wasn;t happening, so i did my shift and really enjoyed it learnt a lot more of the ward and as the only nursery nurse i was having a lot more responsibilty. So then i come home and pick up adam only to then have to dash up to glasgow to take him to yorkhill the childrens hospital for more dental work, to be then told that he will need a general anethestic to remove 3 teeth and put metal caps on the new adult teeth coming through, because of adams metabolic condition his teeth were always more prone to needing work, but to now know that i have to put him through surgery is horrid. Plus the recovery will be harder as he needs to eat certain amount of food everyday and supplements and his mouth so sore i've got a feeling i've got a huge battle on my hands, and then at the back of my head i'm constanyl worried about the brain damage that could occur. my poor boy. ON top of me being emotional wreck i've not caught up on any sleep today so on about 36hours no sleep arghhhhhh, sorry for a ramble and of course i will let u all know when his operation date comes through, i so hope i sleep and i can make some cards tomorrow to get back to normal, love and hugs and thanks for reading my ramble xxxx
