Hi girls

Quick one from me - it's SO quiet in here!!!!! I've been busy doing my clinic work for my massage course - got to do 60 hours of massaging the public, I'm 9 hours down, so that is keeping me busy for the next few months. And I've decided to go on and do the Diploma, it's just going to give me the edge I need, and I'll make the most of DH being on long service leave. Tired just thinking about it though.... but it will all be over next May, so not that long in the scheme of things.

Michelle - welcome home sweet girl......... if you pop in here (when you get a chance!!) we have all been cheering you on as best we can from a distance........ I know you will be utterly relieved to have your little man home safe and sound, as all us mums in here know only too well, after loosing a babe, it's the biggest relief in the world to bring home a healthy squirming one - I imagine you were overloaded with worry, not to mention doing it alone, when George decided to emerge - but it all ended well, and you have him home - that is one huge achievement hon xoxoxo I know there is always the sour with the sweet - and the constant pain of seeing George without Greg is a devastation that will ease, in time.......... I promise you it will ease. It took me around 2 years to be able to go to important things with my kids (i.e. first day at school, school concerts etc) to not be a balling mess during or after the event. That sounds a long time, but like you, my children were young - so I had a lot of "firsts" to content with on my own. It's tough hon, but I survived, and you are a stronger person than me. I know it sounds terribly "cliched", but it really is a case of one day at a time, thats enough. And in amongst the pain, you will have pockets of sunshine, let them in, whty are your friend. Please let us know how you are doing, how long are your parents staying? Whats your "plan of attack", take care xoxoxoxo

Jayne - I'm up to date on your other thread, and without saying too much in here - I have to tell you how remarkably sane and level headed you are - whatever choice you make will be the right one, usually there is no right or wrong iykwim, hugs hon and I hope life starts levelling off again at the very least xo

Bun - poor chook, up to your eyeballs in goop........... I think you better get a few massage, facial ect appointments booked up for when your DH gets home, you have earned them!

Spring - you are very quiet - whats going down?

BW - I get that it would be so tempting to surprise your DH with a new pregnancy - but I guess the reality is that you would want/need his support.... sorry have not been much help, but hope things all fall into place easily.

Mako - hope you had a great weekend away hon, a good break xoxo

Deb - I'm feeling your relief all the way down here in Hobart!!!! I hope you are working on the next new chapter and I have no doubt it will be a truly grand one xo A liberated woman is a force to be reckoned with xo

Hi to everyone else - got to go, but hope you all pop in to say hi!!

Love Lee xoxo
