    im gonna dip my toes in here again.........Just had to copy Storm and try to have a Christmas bub PMSL. Hoping there's only one this time as much as Id love to have 5 kids but one at a time will suit me fine.
    Looks like $$ wont allow for us to buy a new secondhand car for a while so we have to get a bench seat for the explorer. MIght advertise in the wanted collums for one.
    Hope yourve all been well, i have admired you all from afar. Just had alot in my head over the last 2 months, so sorry if I just fell of the cliff so to speak.

    Hi girls.
    Bree, I'm so sorry about your babe. HUGS.
    Maz, I already said congrats in the other thread but it bears repeating!! BTW, when DH needed an extra bit for his car he had the best luck ringing round the dealers periodically. He tried an ad but got nothing.
    Tired this morning after trying to help DS finish his Tech homework last night. He had to write up something on the history of pants (Tech is sewing this term). But, mysteriously, although he typed it up, it disappeared. Him: I don't know what happened! Me: I do, you forgot to save it.
    Grrr.

    sorry, a bit long....

    We had a bad start to Mother's Day. First of all, I have to say that DH has a history of doing NOTHING on any special occasion (birthdays, christmas, etc). Usually on Mother's Day I get a card, and then a big sigh "you don't want to do anything, do you?" or "I feel bad that I've planned nothing but I couldn't think of anything." We had a huge thing about this last winter & I told him all his arguments were @#$#@#. I've said that before but this time I really put it on the line. Result was that I did get pressies for my birthday & Christmas.

    So I knew things should be different this year. I had said I didn't want to go out, too hard with the babies. On Saturday evening we had friends over. I left the room & when I came back, one was asking if we had big plans for the day. I thought DH replied, "We're not going to do anything big, she doesn't want to." I then flashed in with, "Why don't you tell all the things you've planned for previous Mother's Days?" These are good friends who know our history & they just laughed, but I could tell dh was annoyed.

    He went straight to bed as soon as they left & was asleep before I could brush my teeth. I left the kitchen for the morning & went to bed as well. When I woke up he was washing up from last night, and still angry. I don't like to waste time. I asked him why he hadn't said that we didn't have a big day planned b/c it's too hard to go out with the little ones.

    He then told me that what he had actually said was, "We're not going to do anything big, only exactly what she wants to do." Just about the opposite of what I thought he said! And I raked him over in front of our friends. So then of course I felt terrible.....

    We had to agree to start the day over, although imho he was still a bit sulky all day. I did get a nice present too.

    We went to the cemetery to visit our first dd . This is always hard...& there are always lots of people visiting on special days. It's good to let those feelings out though. When I think about it I cannot believe that I am really a mother to 5 children.

    Oh Castle
    it must be hard for you on mothers day. I am glad it wasn't all sad though. DOn't you hate when you put your foot in it?

    Well DH and I had a discussion the other week about how I don't expect much just for him to show he has thought about me. I brought myself some clothes and bedside lamps. He brought me a web cam and an electrc shaver. Josh gave me a mug and a bird cage wind chime with fake birds inside. It chirps when you tap it pmsl very funny. This year DH even brought me a card that said from now on my ;life will be the best....which isnice. He is making a huge effort to change as we have had a bit of drama recently and it is so much nicer around here than before.

    So apart fromt he fact I had to do the washing and clean the house My mothers day wasn't too bad lol

    Oh Castle, You have done well, It took my DH years to finally get his act together. I had no birthday, Mothers Day, Christmas or Anniversary presis for years! Men just don't just think like us! Anyway its all good now and I was spoilt on Mums Day. But once a year is enuff, DH was exhausted at the end of the day!

    castle....you poor thing i really hope you had a nice mothers day. My dh never ever does anything much for birthdays etc, and always makes the comment " i never know what you want" or " i should of bought you that" or "im hopeless buying you things".....well i was in a total state of shock that he got me a bunch of roses.....sending you big hugs as well...you are and always will be a mum to 5....i know how hard it is to go to the cemetary.....i always lose it....my first born was a sids bub he was 2 months old when he passed away he would be turning 16 this year......like i am a mum to 6 plus 2 step children.....i never forget him.

    mitch.......thats nice that dh is making a effort.....i wish your family well.

    well caityn cut another tooth today thats 4 now, and has had the sh#ts for days, so hopefully she will settle down now. Jessica and sean both made it to zone cross country, so thats nice for them, high school fees are driving me insane.......its something every week, i dont know where they think us parents find all that money.

    maz......i have been a bit worried about you and i hope the m/s isnt treating you that bad.

    i am taking my kids to qld in 7 weeks for a holiday......not too sure if i can call it a holiday though probably be pulling my hair out by the time i come home, but i am looking forward to it.

    Have a great night girls
