C is for capricious...

....Like one minute you look out of the back window and the sky is like this...


then you look out the front and it looks like this....


Or one minute your daughter behaves like a normal child..


Then she decides that eating her tea makes her feel sick so she doesn't eat it, spends all of the time while you are trying to enjoy/eat yours by screaming, shouting or telling you that she is going to be sick...


and you spend your days stressed and ready to kill. Hmm. Life is fun. We had a great Half Term but it passed in a bit of blur and we came back down to earth with a bump when L decided on Saturday that she was never eating her tea ever again. Gah.

Tonight she upped the game and threw herself on the floor in the reception of school when I picked her up from tennis and had a great screaming and shouting tantrum. I find that nice when the room is full of teachers and parents all looking at me.

Soooo in the evenings when I normally blog, I can generally be found rocking away, quietly to myself in the corner or watching Dexter...trying to forget about problem children.

I have finally managed to take photos of my lovely new print here...


Spring IS on its way and I will not be a grumpy girl thanks to my grumpy girl ;)

I have sent lots of new stock out to new wholesale customers this week who I am very excited to be working with and have a couple of new and exciting projects bubbling away.

It is very very very hard to be a loving parent when your child behaves in ways that we don't want them to, in ways we know other people look down on and in ways we know we didn't......But there will always be the times that your child smiles at you, or throws it's arms around you just because or learns something new and it's bursting with pride and cant wait to tell you all about it......Those are the times you have to hold on tight to, to remember when your child is screaming at you or throwing its self on the floor having a full on tantrum.

I totally feel your pain, I've been through years of exactly that with my 3 girls. It was so hard and often I felt like I just wanted to run away. But I didn't. I took things into my own hands and got them help. I took them to the doctors and then on to specialists and found out that they all have ADHD (in the process found out that I have it too) and they are all doing so much better now. My oldest is doing so well in school (she had to repeat the first year because she did so badly the first time), My middle child wasn't even going to be able to go to school, she didn't pass the medical to go because she was so wild and couldn't focus at all.

Anyway what I want to say is be strong and be strong and be strong. (((Hugs)))
