It seems like a lot has happened since I last blogged. So I'll update on motherhood so far.
Eldest seems to be settling into school more, met some of his friends and met a couple of mothers who I never met before.
Middle child also settling sometimes cries before nursery but doing OK.
Baby is getting chubbier by the day. The Eczema is better but the meeting with the Specialist was a big let down. Its a good thing Baby's skin was getting better before I met him. Someone was telling me that African remedies and medicine is far more effective in the treatment of Black skins. I believe them. My sister in law made a crude concoction of crushed anti biotics and Vaseline made in Nigeria and it works! She also gave me some herbs for him to wash in.
My Sister thought she had eczema and she had a really bad skin for 16 years, very sensitive, weeping and crusty and darkened her skin. Went to South Africa and the Dr told her that it was a parasite she had picked up from a beach when she was 18. Her skin has now completely healed and she can't stop looking at herself in the mirror. I haven't seen her yet but I well up every time I think about it.
My personal development is going well. I have been reading about Tony Buzan's mindmapping and it is revolutionising my life. I can plan lessons quickly and easily and it works with the way I work. Excellent for a time poor mom.
I have so much to do in my day I find it hard to wind down. Anybody else had this problem? What did you do to combat it? Love to hear from you.
Peace out

Hey sweetheart
ReplyDeleteMy daughter developped excema from about the age of 5 months an all the experiences you have given reflect what e have been through since it was first diagnosed. The encouragement that I have is that it should either disappear altogether or reduce to certain parts as she has it young.
Don't stop praying though for this healing and also for your patience and wisdom in managing it. Trust me you will recognise the triggers and learn how to control it.
This blog is great and i admire you. You work in a demanding job, you have three boys under 5 and you still find time to write. I have one daughter, a flexible job and feel like I have no spare time, much less to write. I just think I am lazy and I need to deal with it!!
I don't always have the energy. I've found its useful not to beat yourself up about being lazy. I've been called lazy but I know myself I have patterns of energy where I can be doing a lot for 3 weeks and then not do much for the next 2 and I am learning to work with that pattern. Really appreciate your following and your advice.
