Gosh and now i will be in trouble for not coming to see you now Shazz will I? Hehe.

I spoke to my dad tonight about it and I said to him "they are making me feel like I making a drama out of it" and he said no you are not! Surely you can get better answers out of them he said. Like when Mel said it is my call if Lachlan comes or not and then Nik answers a straight no answer to my question of askign if her children are going or not and then I say well you have made my decision clear now, I guess I can't come and she says Ohhhhh. I mean seriously they don't care nor want to care. They are use to the Brisbane lifestyle and it is so alien to me. If I was to drive from Warrick to Brisbane, I wouldn't know my way, but would try. I would have to hire a car and not sure if they hire car seats as well with it. Will have to find out. Then I found out tonight, Mum and Dad will be there, so atleast that makes me feel better about taking Lachlan, now it is a case of where do I stay??? Mum and Dad will be sleeping in Nik's lounge room, and we normally stay there, so will have to ask Mel if I can stay there!

So I guess I will now go to the Wedding in Bundaberg for the weekend of the 12th april, then stay for the rest of the week, fly onto toowoomba, wade's sister will pick me up and take me to warrick for 5 days then I will hire a car and drive onto Brisbane and then fly from Brisbane to Emerald at the end of my stay.

I guess I have to be thankful that I don't have another bub and I am better doing this while their aint two, but gee am i gonna be tired.

I totally respect everything you said Elissa, I totally agree, and if I was going to be stubborn like I normally am, I would do exactly what you said, just at this point in time with knowing mum and dad will be there (they can help me) and the fact that my sisters always make me look like the bad guy and I shouldn't stoop to their level - I WILL GO..... I think!!!! hehe

Still trying to work it all out really with regards to car seats for each occasion.

Just to give you a little more idea of the way my sister treats me at times, esp Nik (mel is normally pretty good - but with them both living in Brisbane sense they talk and gang up on me at times). On my visit to Niks in Brissy in December when I went there she told me that I have changed and Mel thinks the same! What tha...... Dad even agreed tonight if anyone has changed it is them. Dad even said Mel will get a big wake up call one of these days when she has kids, she just has no idea that you have to make plans and organise yourself esp seeing as I travel alone these days and like you said Elissa I am pregnant too! Her time will come.....

There is so much more history then that but I think me pointing out these little things gives you all a rough idea.

Anyway changing the subject it was 36 degrees here at 5.30pm this arvo, I would hate to think what it reached thru the day.

Sorry for the big vent lately and thanking you so much to you all for helping me and contributing some ideas, I really appreciate it. Love ya's

Be kind to yourself Shazz. I was the same as you put in soooo many hours and didn't feel like I was getting anywhere......

sheree - with the carseat you can hire one when you hire the car. We did that when we went to melbourne. Otherwise take it with you on the plane. I don't know who you are flying with but some don't include any kids stuff as the baggage allowance. Depends how much stuff you are already taking and if there will be someone to help you get on and off the plane at each end. I completely understand about the whole family dramas. I have sisters and its always all about them, don't think they will ever change.

Sorry just a quick one, have to get ready,

We are almost about to leave for the Sunny Coast where I will in approx 4hrs time be relaxing by the lagoon at the resort we are staying at tonight....I can't wait as its meant to be 34 degrees today!!

Tummy bug has gone but chesty cough thing is still there and Jayden has started too.

Have a lovely weekend Tania - sounds like it is just what the doctor ordered.

Vic - yeah i thought the car hire co. would hire them, just needed to ask. Also on my trip in Dec I had pram/portacot/carseat and luggage and they made me pay $70 excess luggage, that is why I am not keen to do that again, esp by myself again!!! That was with Jetstar. Basically I will need one in Bundaberg, which when Wade and I drive there on the weekend for the wedding, we can take that in the car, but then I will stay in Bundy for a while after (once wade goes home) so might have to hire one then. Then when I am in Warrick, Wade's sister will have an extra one, so that will be fine, and then I will hire a car from their to Brisbane. So I think I only really need one in Bundy, unless we leave it in Bundy and Wade doesn't take it home with him. Thanks for your suggestions.
