Who Am I ?

Strong, Independant, Loving, Supportive, Bossy, Caring, Wicked, Insane, Hilarious, Cheeky, Stubborn, Loyal, Clumsy, Opinionated ... Those are part of who I am & I am sure in time you will get to know more of who I really am   :)


Otherwise, well the basics are that I am the youngest of 3 girls to a Polio Survivor ( she now has Post Polio Syndrome ) & a Scotsman. I'm a bit of a whoops really, I am 8 & 11yrs younger than my sisters. This had it's good & bad moments I must say haha !

I am a proud proud mama to my two boys if you didn't quite get that feeling in my first post then well please be advised I use a lot of sarcasm & humour, I need it to keep me sane !!!!  For 2yrs now that has been as a single mother which has been quite overwhelming to be honest. It wasn't what I signed up for but there was little choice but to hold on & enjoy the ride ! I can't actually believe it's been 2yrs because it sometimes only feels like yesterday that it all happened but I can be proud of the fact that we have all made it out alive. So far    ;)

Honestly I thought 2yrs ago that my world had come crashing down on me & while I could probably admit that it was coming in a roundabout way, for it all to happen as it did really did feel like I took hit from left field. So I am trying to manage the new life that we are now creating for ourselves which isn't always easy. The boys have struggled as much as I have but at the end of the day I wouldn't want to be without them any more than I would want to go back & change things.

The past is the past & it is what got me here to this point, I have absolutely no idea what lies in front of us & that truly is scary but exciting all the same. Changing any part of that past could mean I wouldn't be a mum to these gorgeous boys & that is just unthinkable. Our 'new' life started & really who knows what it will bring.

So there will be loads of stuff about the here & now for us along with bits from the past. Hopefully with stacks of humour to get us all through it  :)

  1. As always Ally I look forward to your view of this wonderful world we find ourselves in. You are right the sarcasm and humour keeps us sane, and the sanity keeps us breathing. One day at a time we take a step forward, then three back, and then sneak in five steps forward while THEY sleep just to stay ahead of life. You are an angel and a blessing. El
