Wow Trina, I'm so happy for you. He sounds wonderful.
Prama: I had a mini breakdown the other day over the housework. We might be getting a regular cleaner to do the actual cleaning, but we'll still have to do the tidying. I'm also re-reading some of my cleaning books and organising myself better to be able to get things done without feeling stressed. Like cleaning the loungeroom while I watch TV, that way the room gets cleaned and I don't miss out on my shows.

Now, I realised that I didn't tell you what happened on Sunday. Here it is (copied from another forum).

I had the crappiest day ever!

First the football was crap. The even though it was forecast to be nice and sunny all day, we got a little bit rained on.

Then I sent a message to my mum as we were leaving the footy saying that we were on our way over to pick Jazz up. Got a reply saying they were still out and would be a minimum of an hour. Well, Matt was peeved off about that. See, we couldn't go home as mum and dad's place is about 15 mins from the footy, our house is about 30-40mins from the footy/their house. Also, we had things that needed to get done before it got dark so I sent them a message saying that we need to be home ASAP.

Mum then rang and I asked if they could drop Jazz off at our house when they were done...they refused. Then dad got on the phone saying how they were doing us a favour and we shouldn't be telling them when they should come home. Matt grabbed the phone out of my hands and started yelling and abusing my dad and saying that they we want to pick our daughter up now and if they don't come home then they'll never see her again etc etc etc.

Well, then a bit later my dad rang back and told me to put the phone on speaker so I did. He then started abusing Matt calling him a ****er and never to threaten him again. Then Matt threatened to punch him as soon as he saw him.

Well, then dad hung up. I had a big go at Matt. He kept saying that if my dad gets in his face he's going to put him in hospital. I told him that he's not to do that and when we pick Jazz up he is not to get out of the car. I sent a message to mum telling her I'd told Matt to stay in the car and it would be best for everyone if dad said nothing.

We pulled into a carpark and I got out the car to get some food. I was lining up for ages and then realised that I was too angry and upset to eat so I went back to the car. He apologised. I told him that I'm not the only one he needed to apologise to.

We got to mum & dads and waited outside until they got home. I got out the car as soon as I saw their car coming down the street so that if need be I could try and stop anything.

Dad got out the car and went inside, grabbed most of Jazz's things and put them on the grass and on his way in he said "I never want anything to do with either of you again" Well, that hurt! I said "you can't say that to me, I didn't do anything" he said "I don't want to hear it, don't come here again" Again I said "I didn't do anything wrong, how dare you say that to me" Then he said "fine, I don't anything to do with HIM!"

Mum went in and got the rest of Jazz's stuff, Matt got out the car and asked her to tell my dad that he would like to apologise. Mum said ok and warned him that dad will want to have something to say though.

Dad came out, Matt apologised. (only for me mind you). Dad told him never to speak to him like that again and never to ask for any help with anything again


I'm back at work today. I had Monday & Tuesday off because Jacinta had gastro. Not nice at all.
