Hurdles

Do you ever think back to your childhood and remember not only all the fun you had with your family but also the hurdles that challenged you? I remember my first hurdle in life was having to grow my hair and wear shoes. My family were going on a holiday to Ireland for the winter. I was 4.  My mother insisted i grow my hair so it could be tied up and that i wear shoes. I remember crying as she would brush the knots out of my hair and the tantrums i threw of having to wear socks and shoes. A hard feat when you've grown up in Sunny Qld and spent all day playing outside with no shoes! At 4 these were big issues in my life. Unfortunatley as you get older the hurdles are still there and unfortunatley for me they get harder and just keep coming. I feel like i'm stuck on the running track of infertility and the main event is hurdles. There is no big crowd cheering me on just the odd timekeeper who keeps reminding me the "clock is ticking" "your running out of time" and my all time favourites "i noticed your not drinking is this cause your pregnant".
