Plod Plod Plod..I think it’s a plodder
Plodding…that’s what it feels like we’re doing right now. We’ve had such awful news today, I can’t talk about it for now because it’s just too private and raw. I know these things always come in cycles, but we seemed to have lurched from one awful situation to another in recent weeks. So much grief and pain, more than our hearts can bear.
People often say that God never gives us more than we can bear, and I guess that’s probably true. Although the more cynical version is ‘you get what you get and you either deal with it or you don’t’. This is all new territory for me…pain, grief and suffering I can do…other people’s pain, grief and suffering I’m less experienced in…but I have no experience of managing such situations for small children. It’s so ‘swampy’, there’s no true path, no right words and, oof, it’s lonely out there. SEND REINFORCEMENTS, WISE WOMEN AND CAKE xxx
So sorry that you have such bad news. My thoughts are with you and your family. I don’t post often but I always find your blog and photos uplifting and would like to return some of that to you.
Thinking of you and sending love……

Oh Spud, I’m so sorry that you’ve had bad news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the Spuds right now. xx
A very wise man once told me that walking was the best medicine. So I hope you are plodding along and breathing deep and remembering that you are loved. Cake sounds like an excellent idea too!
Blessings to you and your family now.
sending hugs and support (and cake… okay and maybe some wine)
xxoo
you hang in there darlin, a big hug and a huge cake commin up :)
you know with all that i got slapped with the past couple of years… if i can survive it… you can too, just breath…
Much love.
Someone once told me to, turn the radio up loud, get into the shower and scream, rant what ever you need to do ie let yourself have that explosion of emotions. It wont make the problems go away but may allow you to regain the composure to help support others.
Thinking of you and the Mega Boys right now, Spud. I hope that whatever it is feels less raw very soon for you all. Love and best wishes xx
I’m so sorry to hear that everything’s so difficult right now. You’re in my thoughts xxx
Lemon drizzle or carrot cake? Personally I think that carrot cakes covers all the basic food groups, but lemon drizzle is just so right at times like these.
Hope your storm passes and leaves you with a rainbow soon.
Lots of hugs (or manly punches to the shoulder if you prefer).
Hugs to you and the little Spudlets. Wish you didn’t have more pain to slog through… you’ve had more than your share recently.
throwing big fluffy hugs across the big space in the middle.
Lots of love to you and the boys. I’m sorry you’re dealing with more than your fair share of pain just now.
So sorry to hear that you’ve had even more sad news Spud.. Sending what I can your way in the good thoughts and such like department.. Hopefully reinforcements aren’t too far away…
Hoping things improve soon.Hugs :)
Sending lots and lots of love for you and your family. I’m sorry you’ve had so many bad news lately! Hugs, and more hugs! B
Spud, what a time you’ve been having. Sending hugs and thinking of you and yours xxx
Love, hugs and strength to you. I am not sure what God’s up to here, but I know that you will come out the other side of this with new courage, strength and an understanding of yourself that you never knew you had. Maybe that’s what this is all about…
Thinking of you,

sweetie, I’m so sorry – I wish I could be there to give you an actual hug, instead of this virtual one.
Whatever it is you’re well equipped to handle it you just haven’t found that out about yourself yet…but you will. Have faith little Spudlia..I’m sending hugs and love.
oh sweetie. big hugs to you…i don’t know what to say, but will gladly send cake. :-)
I hope everything is getting better! HUGS!!
Can’t seem to get the cake to you over the internet. Instead, I’ll send up prayers. Lots of them. And love. Lots of it.
