Wedding, Chickenpox And Autumn Skies – Our Weekly Photos Week 47

By 25 Comments

Wedding

Chicken pox

Beautiful sky

Autumn Chill

Where to start…. Well, last week I’d done my weekly photos post a little early as we had a wedding on Friday and let’s face it, I was picked up via the bus at 11:30 on Friday, who knew if I’d be up for writing the post on Saturday. Turns out that Friday didn’t quite go to plan. It started off with a poorly Tyler, temp and complaining of a sore neck. Then, Aria started complaining. I noticed a few spots as she jumped about my bed, as they do. Oh, you guessed it, she had chickenpox. Frantically, getting Lucas to school, lots of medicines bought and a trip to the chemist for every cream, lotion and potion under the sun to ease the chickenpox. She wasn’t too bad and both her and Tyler did some colouring in while I got ready. I was torn between my babies being ill and going to Robert’s cousin’s wedding that we’d said we’d be at and his whole family being there. My mum was thankfully watching the kids until we got home that night. I knew they’d be in good hands and were being watched at home.

I pulled those springy curlers out of my hair with half an hour to get ready and well, you can see the photo above, that Robert and I scrubbed up not too bad. Off we went, after many hugs and tears, from me. I may have texted and called home a million times, but all was well. I didn’t have much to drink as I knew I’d be up during the night with my poorly two. The wedding was lovely and was at a nice wee place with a gorgeous view. It was actually called The Vu. A piper of course and whisky. All good Scottish wedding and lots of kilts. I got home around 1:30am and Aria was up from 2am until 5am and then Tyler was up. So Saturday was a long and tiring day, with poorly and itchy kids. And a hungover husband. Thankfully, Lucas was ok.

The rest of the weekend was much the same. We stayed home, watched some films and lay on the couch. No football for us. Back to work on Monday and again torn about leaving them. I took Tuesday off and took Tyler to the doctors as his face was still swollen. He has infected glands, but to see how it goes and if it doesn’t go down, it’s back for antibiotics. Aria was starting to feel better and we went out for a wee walk for some fresh in, in the photo above. Thankfully, we got home before they both started puking. A panicked call to my sister in law to pick up Lucas from school football training as he was expecting me to be there. Thank goodness for family.

The kids were at their grandparents Wednesday and poor Lucas being the trouper he is has been at school on his own. Lots of kids in Aria’s class have been off with the chickenpox.

I’ve been knackered all week, but these pretty skies have kept me going, even with the autumn chill well and truly here. Skies, really are my happy place. Both of these snapped with my lovely new iPhone.

I was pretty gutted not to make it to see Santa last weekend, but it’s still early. Plenty of time for that. Today is Friday and I am off today, woohoo. The kids are back to school and fingers crossed they stay healthy. However, Robert’s ME has flared up. He’s very weak and sore, but resting and working from home. Tomorrow, Saturday, we are hopefully heading to Digital Kids Show in Manchester. We’ve never been, but the boys cannot wait. It looks fab and it’ll be nice to have a wee over night away. Keep everything crossed we survive the almost 4-hour car journey down.

It’s been a long week. I’m knackered, and to be honest, this bout of chickenpox has been easier than the last time, when I caught when the boys had it. The highlight of the week was Lucas scoring the only goal in the school football match. They didn’t win, but scoring that goal made this week.

What are your plans? How has your week been?

  9. I love that first photo, you make such a lovely couple. I’m sorry you have been plagued with chicken pox, my three had it earlier this year, but worse off was my eldest son, 29, he was so poorly. Thankfully there is treatment available for adults which help clear it up quickly. I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding and were able to make it. I hope this weekend is more peaceful for you and the spots are soon gone x
    p.s. love your skies x

  19. good grief they picked their time to be ill did they not? glad they are on the mend though. I agree with debating whether to go but as you say with your mum in their own home so there was not much else you could do. Though when they feel ill only mum will do.
    You make a handsome couple

  23. What a week for you! My son hasn’t had chicken pox yet and I dread the day when he does catch it. My daughter also got chicken pox when she first started school.
