On Friday, Mum, Dad and I took the boys, the dog and various sports equipment to a local open area where you can walk for miles over the mounds of an old historic mound like area and look over the city, its great because the boys can run off as far as they like yet still always remain in view, plus they love the trees they can climb, as for Misty she is allowed off her lead and loves chasing between the boys and myself.
The funniest thing was watching Thomas spend ages padding up in his cricket attire, only to take it all off, having forgotten to put on his cricket trousers!!!! then pad up all over again, take one wicket and say the trousers were too small, unpad all over again, take off trousers and re pad once again!!!!!!!! Of course he took some stick for that!!!!!!
Walking around I was chatting to Dad saying how much I love walking so he asked if I would like to come on one of his power walks/jogs. I jumped at it full of confidence, I'm quite fit or so I thought, I do my cross training every single evening running minimum of 5km a night sometimes up to 10km depending how I feel. So I thought easy!!!!!
Saturday afternoon, Thomas went to the local football with my brother, Daniel stayed at Mums with her and Dad and I set off, we were gone for 1 hour 45 minutes, covering 7 miles (10km) and I returned needing a cold shower and a wheelchair............. ok slight exaggeration with the wheelchair!!!!
What I hadn't counted on was the adjustment between running on "air" which is the basic kind of feeling of running on a cross trainer as opposed to running and hitting a hard surface of the road, I felt quite disappointed because I was really enjoying myself, I wasn't the least out of breath or tired but the pain in my hips was literally excruciating.
By the time the boys and I got home last night, I felt like a woman triple my age, I could barely walk as I had sharp knife like pain in my hips at every step. At one point, needing the bathroom, I had Thomas on one side and Daniel the other, supporting me!!!!!!!
Taking my ibuprofen I managed to get to bed late last night but even had to put my pj's on in a sitting position as I couldn't stand on one leg!!!!! Pathetic LOL
After a rough night, everytime I wanted to turn over I had to pick up my left leg with my hands!!!!!!!!!! I do actually feel a little better this morning but thats only if I sit still and don't move at all
I'm laughing though, and certainly not looking for sympathy, in fact I fully intend to do it again as I had a great time and hope that having done it once it won't hurt so much next time. Cant see myself doing much exercise for a couple of days though!!! Both boys are still fussing and helping me walk around, although between you and me its getting quite irritating now but oh well they mean well !!!!
Regarding how I am feeling emotionally, I actually don't think I'm going to be myself until after Chris' birthday, he will be 25 in just a couple of weeks, every year for the last few years I have thought maybe next year he will be in touch, well here I am, another year further on and still nothing!!!!
I was doing my prayers the other night, I prayed for the return of the son I have lost..............promptly bursting into tears on hearing what I was saying..........as I realised the son I have lost, doesn't exist any more, I don't know this man, he is a stranger to me
My two boys here are fantastic!!!!!!! I dread to think what I would be like without their constant hugs, kisses, reassurances and love, Mum will back me up when I say they are literally showering me with love, bless them. My daughter too is being awesome, considering she hates her brother and I don't think they will ever make up, she is being great and loving to me
Right I'm going to hobble off to my sofa, uh oh, thought I may make a sneaky independent hobble on my own, but Daniel just came up behind me with a hug and said he is going to wait for me ....................!!!!!!! Gotta love him but I think I'll stay on Minti for a bit longer

Had a little giggle to myself reading your blog, oops! Strange how doing any different form of excerise, the body says hang on a tick, we don't want to go there and rebel's. Hope your feeling better soon and it won't be from the lack of TLC your recieving from your beautiful sons. Haa Haa!
