Peek A Boo…
Its been a good few years since I last posted. This really is just a jump out post to see if anyone’s still out there… After starting to write about my adoption journey I decided to get into full crazy lady mode to try and finally get the answers I was looking for. To say […]

Fear, the unexpected Party Pooper
I have spent a lifetime looking for my mother. In December last year I was finally able to make contact. This blog started off documenting my adoption journey, so one would naturally assume that once I had found and contacted my mother that I should have shouted it from the rooftops, but I didn’t – […]

‘The Letter be Writ!’
It’s done! My first ever letter to my Mother! My handwriting is positively revolting so I opted to type my first letter. I know that writing by hand is far more personal, and heaven knows this letter is, but I didn’t want my mother to struggle to read the very first thing I write. I […]

Here I am……
This past Friday my mother was finally told that I had been found. Apart from giving birth this is certainly the most momentous occasion in my life to date. I don’t say this to negate the importance of the rest of my family, but just to emphasize that contact with a woman I have craved […]

Last week my youngest child,The Diva, was assessed by a real live psychologist, for free, on the schools insistence. As far as I know they personally footed the bill because I was clear on the fact that I couldn’t afford it and as they said, ‘We are Desperate!’. Hmmm, ‘Desperate’ can cost a girl. My […]

ADD and The Diva
My daughter, ‘The Diva’, falls into every category for ADD – so what now? I have re-read resources on the schedule 2 drugs normally prescribed and there are times that I stop and think ‘ WOW! miracle cure’… and then I keep reading… I went looking for a condensed list of side effects to post, but […]

The Diva and the Ritalin Pushers (1)
My youngest daughter is nicknamed The Diva. She is a gorgeous bundle of drama, stubborness, love and delight. Every teacher that has had her has just about jumped off a building trying to get her to ‘toe the line’ and failed miserably! She daydreams, she talks incessantly and she’s very bossy. She’ also extremely gentle […]
