Sorry about the mix up, I had the Sister and SIL's mixed up. My family all live in Kilmore too, well I say that but I mean my parents, my IL's, my SIL and a cousin (who is moving in a couple of weeks to Wodonga), It can be good except if you feel like some privacy, people just turn up. On the other hand they can be very helpful at times.

Where are you working? It is tough going back to work I know. I returne to full time work when my 2nd Joshua was 13 weeks old, I was teaching Preps and I returned Term 4 to write reports etc. Arron and I agreed that when we had the 3rd I would stay home. He thought I would want to go back, but at the moment I just want to be a mum and not belong to 30 other children as well. I love teaching but I need to do the home thing now. I hear you when you say you are working and doing all the home stuff too. For about 7 months at one stage Arron was working days and nights, I was working days, he would drop the kids of and leave for the arvo job, I would pick them up and go home, cook, clean, wash, bath the kids (we had 2 then), and then wait up till midnight so I could see him. That was 5 days a week, boy were we both happy that he had enough of that. Has your brother lived in Wallan long? Arron has played footy for Wallan over the years, thought maybe he might know him, also Arron knows alot of people, unlike me as I worked out of the area (Westmeadows and then Whittlesea), plus I don't go along to the footy with all the kids as it is more stressful than staying home alone with them.

Hope you feel a little better tomorrow, try to make some time for yourself, hard I now but you really do need it when you are working and being a wife and mother.
Cheers Michelle
