Couldn't sleep.
Thanks heaps, Jess - it's usually the best way, isn't it? I should have gone straight over (that was my first instinct, I should have acted on it), before she came over to the other neighbour's house and realised that we already knew. At least she got to see Oscar (I was going to leave him with DP when going over tomorrow, just to be overly-sensitive), and she smiled and laughed at him, telling her husband how cute he was. It's just so, so sad for them. I've been in a bit of denial and was hoping that I had a case of mistaken identity and that it wasn't my neighbour's child at all who was in the picture in the paper. That accounts for why I didn't bring it up with them when I spoke to them this week - I was hoping that it wasn't so and that I would only make a fool of myself by opening my mouth and confirming the mistaken identity. From now on, no second-guessing my instinct, I'm going to go with how I feel, just like you say, Jess
I'm glad that you're in a safe place with your mum, too - great that she can be there for you and the kids.
Sorry for rambling!
Julie - have a great ceremony today! Congratulations on your new 'status'
Bath - how was Leongatha? I'll live vicariously through you and enjoy your new non-CHAOS situation!
Ali - hope Tori is on the improve, but that snot seems to last forever, doesn't it? Even long after every other symptom has gone...
OK, better go again and try to sleep.
