quotes Archives - Crazy With Twins

Here are some prose I wrote last week, during my recovery from surgery. They describe my feelings surrounding my ectopic pregnancy. There are some people who feel I should be "over it" by now, or that I had no cause to be upset, because my pregnancy was so early on. The truth is, that it […]

Regular readers will know, I've just had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. I have three surgical wounds to my tummy which are still very sore, but slowly healing. There is also a sad part of me that has lost a pregnancy. These scars will always remind me of that. I already had three scars on […]

Is it Wednesday again already? Wow, time really flies when you have children! ...I know, the saying goes "time flies when you are having fun", but having children is basically the same thing. There's nothing better than having children (in my humble, overly maternal opinion). I've seen lots of quotes recently starting with either: Love […]

I read some great quotes on cards in a card shop yesterday... Authors unknown... "Whatever you do, always give 100%... unless you are donating blood". "Follow your dreams. Except that one where you fly - that one never ends well". I thought they were great, so I just had to share them. They put a big […]

Recently I feel tired a lot, but more than that, I feel... weak. Most of the time. Yes, I have been through a lot, physically and emotionally. I have beat Cancer and I am breaking out the other side of depression, unaided. Yes my consultant says it's going to take time. Up to a year, to get […]

I found a quote today, author unknown, that says exactly what I feel at the moment. Life is full of choices, but sometimes, things are bigger than us; they are out of our control. People often tell me I'm brave, but I'm not. If you are unfortunate enough to get Cancer, it's not a choice. […]

This is a poem I wrote last week, whilst I was radioactive and not allowed near my children, due to receiving radioactive iodine 131 for Thyroid Cancer. The aim of this, was to illuminate any cancer and thyroid cells on a full body scan, to see if my radiotherapy in May 2013 has worked or […]

I thought it was about time for one of my own compositions. I'll cut to the chase. I've recently been awoken by the bold bright colours of autumn, as though I've not seen them in this light before. It inspired me. I've written some autumn prose full of colour, love and life. Autumn Morning © Emma […]

This week I wrote a short piece (called "Finding Light") for a friend I have met through the blog world. A beautiful soul who has had the most tragic of years. Jennie who blogs at Edspire. She asked me to send her some of my positivity, as she is struggling with double grief. I'm not going […]
