Alhamdulilah (Praise be to God)!!!

I know my last post was a bit self indulgent (tripe). I just wanted to say that overall I feel so very lucky Alhamdulilah!
I have a husband who works very hard to provide a very good living for me. I have the family I have always wanted.
Life is good!

Waffle

I've lived in the same house for 20 years. Coming up 21. I hate almost everything about this place. I'm starting to like a little bit more.
I guess because I'm finally starting to put my stamp on it. I've always thought of this place of a stepping stone. Some stepping stone you'd say.
I moved here when I was ten and lived here with my family (mum and brothers) until I was about 17/18 years old. When my elder brother moved back, my mum moved out with her now ex husband.
So in the year 2000 my big bro had serious car accident and was in a coma for six months (we were told he would never wake - he did but is wheelchair bound)and myself and my then boyfriend, now husband were 'stuck' here. We both resented it for different reasons- the house that is.
So i've never moved out. I'm just here. Still.
I have to say alhamdulilah though. Although it's not the way I had envisaged it. It has worked out well.
I've got much more to say but just don't have it in my right now.

Happy New year!

I have composed many a blog entry over these past months - in my head. Not sure if they would have been of any interest to anyone.
I've been awol mostly because my second son has had a severe case of infected eczema on his face for over half of his life. It's been an absolute nightmare. I have been unable to put him down for months on end as he would scratch, and scratch and scratch. His face was a raw open wound. As I described it to a friend 'he looked like corned beef and smelled like raw meat'. Poor kid
Can you imagine being so itchy that you can't.stop.itching? It drove me crazy so I can't imagine how it felt for him.
Alhamdulilah, he's better right now. I say right now because his condition can change overnight.
He's been on antibiotic after antibiotic. Steriod cream after steriod cream. I wish I could take it away for him. In between the scratching he is a delight!
