Been A while

Its been a while since I've written because we've been in topsy turvey land over the last week. Our little girl had to be admitted to hospital on Thursday and we only just got home today. We are all shattered and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it feels to be home again, normality restored, and the family all back together ... even if the children did manage to get back to bickering within a couple of hours!

On a lighter note, if you fancy a giggle you can read an article about Dan and I which was published in the Sunday Independent newspaper this week. It's in the 'Living' supplement, in a section on 'Relationships' and its titled 'A different Dan and Becs', which is a title only Irish readers will appreciate! If you haven't a hard copy to rummage through its also online here, but without the photograph of us both perched up in one of our apples trees. I suffer from vertigo, and although I'm smiling in the picture, I was actually petrified!

I'm so sorry to hear your little girl had to go to hospital. Worrying for all of you. I hope she's ok again and you can all get back to your habitual organised chaos.

Sending my best wishes for your daughter's recovery--our youngest was at Sligo General on Thursday but luckily came straight home again: I'm so glad you're all safe and well.

AND the article gave me a start a few inches into it--I didn't recognise you in the photo until I started reading LOL Well done there too.

So, since you've caught my attention in so many ways this weekend, I'm tagging you with Moo-dog's meme: seven 'weird' facts about you, here are the rules:

Here's how the whole thing works:

+ Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
+ Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
+ Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
That’s all there’s to it . . .
Oh, and have fun.

Sorry to hear your little gem was poorly - hope it wasn't too grim. At times like that, hearing a bit of bickering is worth a smile! - you know they are the mend!
Just going to have a read of your article, sounds fun.

Happy to hear your daughter is doing well. It sometimes seems that everyone else in the blog world has gorgeous homes and blissful marriages and never a cross word, so I did appreciate the article and the good outcomes!

Glad your little girl is back home and all normality is restored!

Wow! I would love to get published, but I fear my life isn't that interesting!!! Must have been lots of fun and great for your blog and forum :) Also waiting in earnest to see the little easter chicks :)
