My Beautiful Five

Mummy's Little Cowboy

My big boy and his new Big Boy Toy

Okay, where do I start?? lol

I am a married Mum of 5 beautiful children. My first two kids are TPR, younger three are to current husband. My two older boys are ASD, the 2nd with mild intellectual impairment as well. Boy number 3, we are currently looking at as also having ASD. My husband has a permanent back injury, with which he hs suffered for 16 years (as have I for almost 9 of those years!). I have developed type 2 diabetes (runs in family) since having all the kids. Well I had it during all their pregnancies, first two undiagnosed, other 3 managed with insulin, but just gradually got worse. So this baby making factory is closed unless I miraculously lose 30 kilos!! I have tried, God knows I have tried! I just can't seem to shift it. Not that I really have the time to manage a proper eating and exercise regime with the constant chaos in this house!

I love my job as a full-time Mother. I never really saw myself doing anything else. I love kids! No matter their problems, I still love them all to bits. I'd have a dozen if it weren't so dangerous for me or any potential baby right now. But then, how can one not? lol
