Mel - sorry to hear that AF came, what a cow! seems our AF's must have swapped, yours being day and a half late, mine being day and a half early. sorry just trying to bring a smile.
back from the trip, we had a great time, will have to have a good catch up on whats been happening, but just wanted to say hi. going to have a bit of a vent actually, wow so not like me.
on the plane home last night there were a few ladies with babies and kids, I watched them, each acknowledged each other with that ceremonious nod and smile, knowing that each knew what each was going through because they were a "mum". I so wanted them to look at me and give that acknowledgement to me, but not one even looked at me. I know they don't know my situation but it was just something i longed for, I am a "mum" too they just can't see it.
As for my trip, it was wonderful spending it with my sister and her girls, although they now have dubbed me "aunty cranky pants" lol, I might just have to start wearing a skirt to get around it.
my sister has 3 girls and I was in envy she knew exactly what to say to each of them and how to handle them, it made me think and i am still thinking it, i don't know what kind of mum I would have been, not sure i would have known what to do etc.
sorry ladies its been a long two weeks
