Gosh what a mix bag of emotions for the day today! My eyes awakened with a morning call saying "Hi hun, I just wanted to let you know I saw your boy, he's walking down ~this road~ heading towards ~this shop~ and he's wearing just shorts, I couldn't stop as it was peak hour traffic and there were cars behind me, but I wanted to let you know" So grateful for that call as I was oblivious he was even gone 😂 So then his brothers were awakened by me saying "boys your brother's gone, quick we've got to go let's go" meanwhile the support worker arrives for his shift at 730am to "Hi Sam, James is gone and he's on this street heading towards this shop and I couldn't find my car keys so we all jumped in the support workers car and left. James had exited the back door as it was left unlocked the night before (I'm so sure it was locked) he had put a chair on the side gate and scaled the fence, despite there being a boganvilia tree 🙈 730am-930am arrival home after Jonah and I had to ride with the cops home as James was very aggressive and threatening towards myself and Jonah. Joseph went in the car with the support worker and James and he'd copped a beating from James as they arrived closer to home, I was then gone until 2ish this afternoon, arrive home James is still super mean and awful to me as he was this morning when we found him. My heart aching at the sheer attacks that have come out of nowhere as yesterday everything was fine. I go to work & come back at 730pm to James apologising & a home cooked meal that he prepared with the support worker, telling me to "enjoy mum" with a warm embrace which helps to calm the ache within my heart from the days events 🥲 Then sewing duties to sew a button on Joseph's pants & Jonah's state t-ball hat so it fits him perfectly & as the Velcro won't pull his hair out over the weekend.
Although tomorrow is another day, I am grateful for today even with its ups & downs as it makes me appreciate everything so much more. Knowing the tough times don't last & help me muster through the next hurdle of life, in creating a more resilient me to life's journey ❤️

Big day today! From AFL pre season training for the big boys, then straight after that had finished it was t-ball for the youngest. Lastly to finish off the day we had baseball in the afternoon for middle son.
It honestly is such a great thing to witness, all my boys thrive within their physical activities ☀️🏉⚾
How much it's helped them grow as individuals, working as a team and how it's helped adapt to change as they grow up and its given them a sense of purpose to look forward to each season between AFL, baseball, t-ball, machine pitch, football (soccer), swimming and scouts, there's not much room for anything else despite the want of more activities from the youngest 😂🙈

Don't delay if you plan on joining us once again for 2026!!!
Details to follow with training planned to commence on the 27th of February ⚽⚽⚽

Thankful and grateful to be able to enjoy life. There sure are hard times but those are the moments I choose not to put energy into. If you place your energy with the negative you’ll get more of the negative, focus on the beauty and that’s what you’ll see ❤️ Speed bumps are a part of life, it’s how we choose to deal with and overcome those bumps in the road that make aaaalllllll the difference ✨See the beauty instead

For any football aka soccer families out there, this Saturday is an all abilities have a go day partnered with What Ability, so why not come down, meet the crew and have a kick around in the sun☀️⚽️

🌊 Grief, Gaps & the Weight of Caring 🌊

Grief doesn’t leave.
It shifts. It moves.
It rolls in and out like the waves on the shore — sometimes gentle, sometimes crashing.

But lately, I’ve realised that the grief I carry as a carer isn’t just about one thing.
It’s not a single loss — it’s the cumulative weight of everything that keeps falling apart.

I grieve the emotional toll of constantly showing up, even when I’m empty.
I grieve the last-minute texts giving 24 hours' notice that a support worker is leaving — as if a family’s entire rhythm isn’t disrupted by that one message.
I grieve the lack of thought from people who don’t seem to understand how vital they are to the functioning of someone else’s life.
To them, it’s just a shift.
To us, it’s a breakdown.
A scramble. A ripple of stress. A sense of being abandoned all over again.

How do they not see the difference they make — not just by what they do, but by how they show up, how they leave, and whether they care?

I ask myself these questions constantly as I navigate the NDIS system — a system meant to support families like mine. But instead, it often fails us.
The gaps are wide.
The communication is broken.
And the emotional rollercoaster feels endless.

We are told to be grateful.
To work within the system.
To ask for help — but not too much.
To wait, to manage, to make do.

But the reality is this: it is exhausting.
It is isolating.
And it is a kind of grief that never fully goes away.

So, how do I manage it?

Some days, I don’t.
Some days, I cry in the car.
Some days, I pretend I’m fine when I’m anything but.
Some days, I write things like this — because I need to release it somewhere.

And some days, I survive — and that has to be enough.

This grief isn’t linear. It isn’t clean.
It’s the ongoing ache of being let down by the very people and systems meant to help.

To the carers out there — I see you.
To the families holding it together with string and hope — I feel you.
To the support workers who show up with care, compassion, and integrity — thank you. You are the difference.

And to anyone who ever wonders what’s behind the smile of a tired carer —
It’s a thousand waves of grief… held together by love, resilience, and a desperate hope that maybe tomorrow will be better.
