....and so much has happened!!
Where to start?
At the beginning I guess - so here's a run down from January onwards...
1. My little fella started school! - he's in Kindy and is LOVING it so much. His favourite teacher from pre school moved over to Kindy as is his class teacher, he's just flying its amazing.. When I consider just over 12 months ago he was diagnosed with social anxiety, he's over come that so much.. Has a lovely group of friends, can speak out in class, he's flying. On ,even 9 readers, top of the class for Maths. Well, we always knew academically he was going to fly, but the social side was always going to be the issue.. I'm so proud of how well he has faced his fears and overcome...and still is overcoming his anxiety issues.
2. My little girl started pre school!
It's attached to the school so is lovely that she sometimes when she goes over to the library or they have assembly, she gets to see her brother:)
So she was doing 3 days a week but.... And his brings me onto point 3, I went back to work this year too! So she's now doing 5 days a week, which is a bit much for her i admit...and her pre school didn't have space for her the other 2 days so she's got a spot 2 days a week at another pre school up the road has pretty laid back and is more like a family day care really, 2 sisters run it, but they have 3 or 4 staff members too... But very much a none structured environment unlike her proper pre school, which is good as its like a bit of a break for her... But still, I do think 5 days is too much, she's just about to turn 4' I'd prefer 3 or 4 days for her really....
3. As my munchkins were starting Kindy/pre school, I started looking for work in Jan this year..secured a 5 day a week role with RMS in late Jan, a 9 week contract - decided its best if I contract then I can take short term roles and take the time off for school holidays. So I talked them into me doing 4 days a week not 5, which was great.. Left there in March and secured an 8 month role with Jemena... Started there in April and that runs until December when I can take off the Christmas break with the kids before I look for another role for next year :)
All going great, really enjoying working and loved RMS.. Would have happily stayed there, but equally enjoying Jemena.. Great location and team.. Plus I try and get there early, 7-7.30am so I can leave at 3pm and get home to collect the kids by 3.30pm.
So my job at Jemena leads me onto point 4.
4. The hard to type/say point...
Here goes.. To secure the job at Jemena, I had to go for a medical.. The Dr, found a lump, thought it would be nothing, passed me as fit to work and sent me of to my GP to get it checked it... After several tests and several weeks....I was diagnosed with cancer.. Utterly terrifying, I think I cried for a week solid. I discovered I'm a pretty weak person, I just kept thinking why me and its just not fair - so utterly terrified..
Fast forward 3 months and I've had surgery, I'm half way through the treatment.. The cancer is all out - we think.. Have to have another treatment where I go into hospital for 2 or so weeks...to get rid of any that may be left over.
Biopsy came back good after surgery.. Much better than we had hoped for, I was so scared going for the results.. I sporting a lovely scar! But it'll heal and I'll be ok - I hope.. Prognosis is excellent.. S I'm hoping I will be ok... I need to be, for my babies..
I feel like I'm over the worst of it now, treatment wise...
That's about all for now.. Pretty much all that's happened.. There was a family trip to Bali last year with my parents and a visit from mother in law this year... Hoping to save for a trip to Hawaaii next year... And yep, all for now.
