It has been a while since I have posted, and I have lots to catch up (as always), but I just had to write about the girls cross county today.

The weather was absolutely shitty, who thought it was a good idea to have cross country in the middle of winter?  I was feeling quite nervous for Paddy as I wasn't sure how she would go, she had done really well in the practice runs, but I was just being a nervous Mum!

Anyway our little Paddy who is one of the smallest girls in her year, and only a year ago had her foot amputated did the race and finished, we were so proud of her!  Mum said the people next to her were saying how marvellous she was, Mum got very emotional, I missed all this as I was running around trying to get photo's!  I did hear at the end everyone was chanting Paddy! Paddy! Go Paddy, how fabulous is that!

I said to Paddy I couldn't have been more proud if she had won!  Georgie did really well too as she ended up in A & E with a raging temperature, I got phoned up to come and get her from school, as she had fallen asleep, poor lamb!

All and all a rather eventful day!
