Holidays

Well the summer is passing by so fast well look its basically the end of July. What have we done his summer so far????????? Well Maurs was in swim classes and she got put on the wait list for the second session. So when the second session rolled around I took her over and guess what she got on the swim team. GO MAURS. Eoghan and Nanny are living it up in Ireland they left on Tuesday.

here they are off to the airport. So question as to why Maura doesn't go with them? Well Eoghan was 11 years old when he went with my Mother the first time so Maurs will just have to wait until she is 11 years old to go to Ireland with Nanny. Its a huge responsibility taking someones child with you anywhere and taking a child with you on a transatlantic flight to a different country is massive. Its not like I could hop in the car and drive and pick them up if they weren't happy so we wait until we figured out they were old enough to go solo with Nanny. My Mammy is no spring chicken either so you don't want to send the rowdy one with her and have her stressing out on her holiday. What are we going to do for a holiday??????? Its hared to plan anything when you have a child with medical issues and we all know in a snap of your fingers we can go from cruising along at 40 to end up going at 90 and feeling like we are going around hairpin turns. We cannot live in the fear what if so we take it easy and just do day trips here and there. We had the best time last year when we took the kids on the subway out to Coney Island for the day. A day at the beach is the next on the agenda. Had planned on going later today but have to wait in for the FED-EX man he is supposed to be bringing the rest of Finnian's monthly medical supplies. I have started back walking again and on boy do I feel great. Its a great way to clean out the head. I am also doing a water aerobics class at the local public pool. So I walk there and back every evening. The class is on Monday to Friday so I am clocking up just a little over 4 miles a day and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays while Maurs is having her swim class I have been adding an extra 3+ miles. Finnian and his teacher have been joining me too. Finnian gets to have his class outside and he loves it. Don't know yet what we will be doing in August haven't planned that far ahead. Joe will be off on holidays from work so maybe we might do a few day trips. Finnian loves the subway but not all the stations are wheelchair accessible so its not something I can do on my own with the Finn-man so when Joe is off I will have the extra muscle to help me up and down the stairs with Finnian.
