    Oh my lordie, OMG, OMG, OMG I am going to wee myself! Janie, we can wear Tena pads together, but I don't care because I AM BUSTING WITH EXCITEMENT!!!!!!
    I fly to Mel on 28 September - most special day of the year I'll have you know, then we fly back again on Tue, 5 October & we have the Mary Poppins show on Sun, 3 October. So pick a day in between there.
    Am so loving how you think logistically Michelle. hahaha
    We are staying at Mantra on the Park apartments (I think) should you wish you book that hotel & we can order ****tails, ok, hot chocolates for you & Lee & I'll just have the ****tails.
    Love Jayne x

    Spring - it is around the time of a wonder week too and I know my little non sleepers took to being awake for a while during the night at this age.

    Thanks girls. Just for being here. I just want what I can't have. I miss what isn't here anymore and I desperately miss sharing the load. Knowing I can tag team and get a time out. Discussing what we will do and how we will manage it. It is terrifying to have the sole responsibility for these little people. My decisions today are far reaching ones. I just don't want to stuff this up

    Michelle I know my situation is not the same but I do get how scary it can feel to have the sole responsibility for these precious Beings. Sometimes that feeling can be engulfing.

    I am sorry I havent been around much my loves. I've been drowning a bit, come up for air and am flailing a bit again. It's tough some days & I dom't want to drag you all down.

    I've started feeling pretty uneasy with a barrage of emails that are in short "irrational". It's thrown me somewhat that the father of my kids has such venom in him.

    Anyway I just wanted to send hugs where they are needed. Spring, I am glad you have your mum to lend a hand while you are trying to get little B to sleep.

    Michelle: Mate I can't imagine how overwhelming the task ahead seems. You can only do what you can do hun, and that is take each day at a time. One foot infront of the other. Just hang in there hun

    Inanna: no wise words just utter disbelief in the way FOTY chooses to conduct himself. It is just outrageous. I'm sorry this is happenening yet again.

    Well tonight is going ok. I'm going to stick with this. I wish is was a wonder week thing Michelle but B has been having hours of awakeness each night for a few months now. It just isn't getting any better, infact it's getting worse. I just know that we as a family need to be able to get some much needed rest.

    Hi Beautifuls,

    Sorry for not posting here lately - have had ZERO time for anything like that. Michelle, Spring, Deb - we are all doing it so hard at the moment - wish we could group hug in real life.

    I'm going to Sydney tomorrow with my dog - re-homing Indy girl at with friends of friends in Newcastle - so although devastated to say goodbye to her, it really is for the best right now, and one massive removal of much stress at home. Then Wednesday I'm going to Phuket - it's cheap, it's a direct flight, it's pretty safe and I can get 5 massages a day if I want. This has come about because of things at home, things are really hitting rockbottom, and I feel like if I don't escape I'm headed to the loonie bin.... completely overwhelmed with putting out DH's 'spotfires' - he's very capable of taking care of the kids (although big kids not that happy, but they will survive) for a week, and it was his idea, he booked it all and even got me a new laptop to keep me company. I know this sounds a bit dramatic - but I just feel like if I don't escape to recharge, to process - then I'm going to completely burn out.... so I hope this will help. DH is still going to France in October for 7 weeks..... so that'll be my payback!

    Oh girls - I wish I could make everything better for all of us. Michelle, like you said to me on the phone the other day - things will improve, they will, I know it for all of us, I really believe that.

    Sorry for lack of personals - just wanted to pop in and touch base, I should have good internet access where I'm staying, so will be back in a few days. I'll be having a massage for every one of you beautiful girls.

    Love and hugs, Lee xoxo
