HI everyone ... life is still hectic here! No surprises I guess with 3 kids!

Emma was home sick today ... she has an ear infection and now Jack is saying his throat is sore. Hmmm Asha seems to be ok but I will wait it is bound to strike soon!

Sadly I think my time online will be reduced even more now as I have realised that I spend too much time on the computer and not enough time with my kids or doing the everyday household things that need to be done of an evening because I am at work all day. I am at the moment trying to get my house organsied so that I don't have to do a lot each night. Once I get it clean it shouldn't take too much to keep it that way. I have to be disciplined and really make an effort for me and my family. It is difficult at the moment with Ryans job and Uni for us to have time together and at present we spend time sitting next to each other on the computers and no where near enough time talking. We really need to fix that as I think if we don't that things could go really pear shaped.

I will come and visit but my posts will be limited. I hope you all understand that I need to do this to make me feel like I have some control over my life again because at the moment I feel like I am watching my whole life just slip by and I missing out on important things.

So this is not goodbye but mearly a see you soon message.

Christy - I just read your post in the parent de-brief and I haev to say that I think Asha and Matilda would get along famously! They sound so alike and while we don't seem to have the tantrums that you and Pete do in your house, we certainly have a strong willed daughter who only wants to do things her way ... I, actually we, need to get on top of it now before it becomes something that we can not change! Hugs to you and Pete ... you are both awesome parents who are doing the very best that you can given the circumstances. I wish only the best for you all ... I can't wait to hear about the arrival of your new princess! I was kind of hoping that we would be there again about now too but I honestly don't think there will be anymore kids for this house ... I can't be a good enough Mum for the ones I have now.

To the rest of you ... keep doing what you are doing ... you are all great parents who do the VERY best that you can for your kids. Sadly I don't feel that about myself right now.

Hugs to you all ... I will "see" you again soon ...

And always remember ...

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
