Hi dd,
glad to hear you got to talk about how you are feeling. Guys don't always know what we are thinking and feeling, they just think things are fine unless you point it out. To tell you the truth I have been really surprised by Arron. Having 3 kids and the baby is pretty tough especially when you are tired, plus we are renovating and we are short on cash at the moment as Arron does Steam cleaning, which drops off in the colder months. Some nights I have been pretty stressed with the baby crying and not going back to sleep and DH has heard me and taken the baby to give me a rest. He didn't do that with the others. I too am a pretty strong person, but I think he can sense that this is hard for me, and I really do appreciate his help. I asked him today was he worried that I might do something to Jessica, and he said "No, but it's a team effort and I can see that it is hard for you as you weren't like this with the other kids." I guess as there was 5 yrs and 3 1/2 yrs between the others I probably was a little less stressed, Jemma is only 19 months old so it is much harder.

I am originally from Epping, moved to Kilmore when I was 15, met Arron in high school, got together in yr 12. I went to Uni in Bendigo, had Jordan in 2nd yr and Arron and I rented a house when she was 2 1/2, then brought a house at the end of that year. Because I went to high school in Broadford and worked in the local supermarket, I do know lots of people but nowhere near as many as Arron, plus his work has him meeting people all the time.

Do you have to travel far to work? The only thing I miss about not working is the social outlet, adult conversation. Instead I walk around cleaning the house and talking to the toys which are cnostantly appearing under my feet. LOL, That's what kids do best, make a mess.

I taught at Westmeadows Primary school for 4 yrs, which is 5 mins from Gladstone Park shopping centre so I know the area a little. What made you move to Romsey?

Anyway have a great day tomorrow
Best wishes Michelle
