Hi all.
I'm just letting you know without going into detail that domestic violence of all kinds have actually been a major issue with me & Anth.
I know you guys didn't really need to know, but I think I need to get it out. If I keep shutting it away & hiding it, I'll forget how painful it all was & give it another go.
I can't let myself do that.

So anyway! Hope you are all well.
Still waiting for Jesse's 6th tooth to come through.
Jaz & I started talking about his birthday today.
I think we are having a Roary cake. From the movie Cars.

skye - so sorry to hear that, there is no excuse for violence and it's better that you get away from it. for and the kids. you wouldnt want jaz and bri to end up w men who are violent and jesse to turn into one... you are a strong, fantastic woman.
you inspire me, you are so amazing at a young age.. the kids are lucky to have a mum like you.
i only wish we lived closer so we can meet up.. sigh...

Sky ditto to what prama said..had a slight feeling this may have been the case with you guys and am sorry to hear it. Take care of you ok you and the kids are number one priority.

You guys have no idea how much it means to know that you care so much & think so much of me when you've never met me.
Specially when I don't think much of myself at all.
Thanks just for listening.

Skye hun you made the decision to move yourself and the kids to a new place for a new start. It was an amazingly brave and corageous thing to do and you should be proud of yourself.I dont have to have met you in person to know what a great job you do with your kids and the ups and downs you have had.YOU need to take care of you too and stay strong and be proud you took a stance and did what was right for you all. YOu know you can come on here and vent and if you need someone to talk to in person am happy to email my number so you can pick up the phone and just let it all out. YOu have loads of support and people who care about you so dont forget it ok.
*hugs*

im getting so excited planning poopy's party!!! invites sent out, i've planned the menu, bought disposable plates, cups, cutlery etc. today we bought lolly bags and toys to go in. bought him a little outfit too, nothing expensive, just from target. i hope the weather will be good. i cant believe my itty bitty is no longer going to be itty bitty, but he'll always be my itty bitty, even when he's married w children!!

Wow Prama, you are super organised. I really am thinking that I'll just make it small no fuss bbq in the park. I don't feel like having people over messing up my house.

I for one feel very close to everyone in our baby buddy group. We are all on a journey and on it together. We all have a bond imo. You are a highly valued member of this group. I have done this in the past and really need to do it again...go look into a mirror, look yourself in the eyes and repeat these words "I am highly valued, I am special" and any other motivational words you would like to use. Do not stop looking at yourself in the eyes. I guarentee you will cry, but doing this regularly especially when you are in a state of low self esteem is powerful and can change your outlook. There is absolutely nothing wrong with talking yourself up to yourself. Also, while you're looking into the mirror, speak positive things you would like for your future. You have to maintain eyecontact with your reflection though.

Ah prama it sounds great..I am sure first birthdays are for us parents to celebrate the fact that WE made it through the first year not the kids *LOL* I love parties with loads of people and fuss we have lots of family ones and a huge xmas party mum and I love to entertain and cook. We are doing the park too we have one with a great playground and bbq's. I am making the very hungry caterpillar for Wills cake. Gosh some of us will be talking about having our next babies before you know it and which schools to send our kids too *L*

[prama]

hehe. i know first birthdays are for us arent they! yup, so true, we made the first year, so much to learn.. but what a wonderful year.
i love big family stuff, coming fr a huge family.. but i get anxious having ppl in our hse cos it's small and cant fit a lot of ppl in.. and the cleaning up.. i think i clean up more so ppl dont judge my house!
i cant wait till we know and rebuild but we have to postpone again cos it's notteh best economic time now
