Life's challenges

Hi all lately we have had a number of challenges in our life!
Work containing most of them for Us both. I wish that life was more simple and that we all manage our workloads more effectively.

We also have been faced with how we perceive the children we parent. Both Emily and Aiden to the outside world appear wonderful and yes they are fantastic! The reality is that they both are constantly searching for the love and affection that we freely give but don't always reach the end user the way it was intended!

Emily yesterday morning curled up in my bed and told me spontaneously that I was her best Mumma in the whole world! Ah words to melt a Mumma's heart! Then she had a meltdown a short time later! the challenges are to work out what was different!

Aiden on the other hand had a busy week and while I was away stepped up to help Keith and Keith said he was really proud of him. Today as a reward of his attitude change he got a video camera that we bought so he could play with it and take great video footage of when we go to China.

And the there is China! OMG when will we ever get to go there! I am so worried about the wait increasing and that the age gaps increasing so rapidly! It looks like we are extending out to 3 years for the wait! YIKES!
