It was a gorgeous spring day, so although I must admit Id usually rather be at home sucking back a G&T while watching B&theB, it was pretty ok ;)
Oh- the attitude of LMC at 4 years going on 14!

Sightseeing - Perth
Well, on the long weekend, we embraced the tourists in us and finally visited the Perth Bell Tower, or Swan Bells as its also known by....

See! Im baaaaack
Well, things have been going swimmingly. I am also a pathological liar, so take from that what you will! I have been doing alot of soul searching the past few months, and not any of it has been fun, or heart warming, or warm-fuzzy ish.
I am not a good mother. But, I make it for it in love. I will always be there for my kids, be a hand to hold, to be a shoulder to cry on, to be open ears when they need it, and to be their biggest fan. I will support whomever they choose to be, and whomever they choose to love [with exceptions there. I will invest in a shotgun when all else fails]
See, my role model wasn't the greatest. I was never shown alot of love, so I try to make up for it with my kids. I tell them I love them many times each day, and shower them in hugs and kisses while they will still let me. I try to be firm [but not very good at it] Kids need boundaries, and its up to us to show them how, sometimes we assume they should just 'know', but they don't.
I have taken Miss 4 to a child psychologist who actually said LML is actually normal [oh what a relief that was], however, she is still quite teary, more so than what I feel other 4 year olds are. She is still not doing well with toilet training, which is a concern as she will be at school next year.

apologies for the long time no see!
Gosh! Time has flown! The department stores are determined to send us insane by arranging all things christmas in the front of store displays, and I have been plodding along. [I would say nicely, but Ill leave that up to you to decide!]
I really should change this blog to 'not so bad mum trying very hard despite suffering mental illnesses, one of which is borderline personality disorder'
I am a newly diagnosee [yes, I like to make up words] and while I am not struggling with the diagnosis [I was when Bi Polar was thrown around], I am struggling with maintaining a certain 'behaviour' on the very lacklustre anti depressants I have been given.
My psychiatrist has me on Cymbalta 60mg, which I dislike as they have done nothing for my depression, and obviously nothing for the BPD. They do, however, cause insomnia and crazy dreams, and are just NOT for me.
Right, poor loyal but neglected followers, I WILL be back! With photos as a sweetener!! My precious angels have been up to a lot in the last six months [birthdays etc]
