leanne - i would get a second opinion to, as Christine said, it wont hurt.

kim - huge hugs sweet, hope you can get some much needed rest today. Sounds like some time of work will be really beneficial for atm.

Jay's work has hugely slowed down this past few weeks and no one knows when or if it will pick up again. He was getting 50 plus hours a week, now he is only getting 3 or four 8 hour days a week, definately not nearly enough to pay the bills and eat and drive....Anyway, its only money, we have a roof over our heads and we have each other, been here before and know we will survive again. Might check out ebay and work out what i have to do to become a seller...

I've been at the hossy most of the morning. Am booked into theatre tomorrow at 9.30am. No doubt i'll be awake at 3 again. Cam will get home this afternoon. SO at least I'll have someone to drive me.

That's not great Elissa. What sort of work is that? Doesn't he have some kind of agreement as to his hours?

Well we arrived home at 1pm today and slept till 4pm. Will fill you in on the details soon but for now a few quick messages to my lovely friends.

Kim - I am so sorry for your loss. When Tania texted me I was deeply sadened for you. It is hard getting to nearly the 12 week mark and then all your dreams being shattered. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. GL at your D&C tomorrow, I was the same as you, just wanted it over and done with, for me it was such a relief - if that makes sense.

Sara - So sorry to hear about you and Brent, I hope you are doing ok?

Shazz - Happy Birthday Ryan. Hope you had a fab 2nd Birthday.

Sorry to anyone else I missed, just soooo much to catch up on.





Like I said earlier, very tired today. We had a gr8 holiday, BUT!!!! why is there always a BUT!!! My holiday was ruined by imcompentent idiots. I had my car booked in to have the reversing beeper installed (which was organised and paid for when we bought the car). I took the car in at 9am at Rockhampton on my way home from holidays and they told me it would be a couple of hours. They dropped us at a shopping centre while it was being installed. At 1.30pm I rang Wade (on a pay phone - as my phone had lost charge - grrr....) and they then proceeded to tell him it wouldn't be ready until 3pm. Wade then booked me a motel room as he didn't want to me to drive home on dark with all the skippy's (seeing as it was atleast a 3ish hour drive home). I was so disappointed as I had planned my whole trip was planned so that I would be home for my Birthday today. Anyway the story continues: They told Wade that a courtesy bus would come and pick us up at 2.15pm with a car seat for Lachlan. The bus arrived on time but with no car seat. The guy rang their office and got off to tell me that someone else was on their way. We waited outside Sizzler in the sun/part shade till 3.30pm when I got jack of it and went for a long walk back to the pay phone to ring Wade to contact them! They never told him they were waiting for our car to be ready at 3pm to come and pick us up and if they had of we would have gone back into the cool shopping centre. I was serverly ANNOYED at this stage. Anyway they picked us up at 4pm, bloomey idiots! They got an earful as lots of tears from a hormonal pregnant women that had been trying to occupy her toddler all day long. Then I couldn't find the motel and then locked myself out of the room and then come 6.30pm I felt like I was dying. Having known lachlan was Sick from Sat to Sun night with vomitting (yeah another gr8 end to our holidays), I gathered I was now catching it!!! He was being so naughty as he hadn't slept all day and kept climbing over me and I just wanted him to go away (what a horrible mum). He finally went to sleep at 9.45pm (from pure ignorance on my behalf) and then I woke at 2.30am this morning barfing about 6 times. Then when I got up this morning I had dirreha. Determined to get home for my birthday I got on the road and YAY I am finally home and have never been happier to see my home and my own bed. After having a good rest this arvo, I am feeling much better but still haven't eaten anything in fear. I wasted all of my motel meal last night, had 2 bites and decided I couldn't do it. Such a waste. So I am swapping my birthday DAY for tomorrow, as today was not at all a happy one. I am sure there is something about odd numbers!! But in saying all that imagine if I had 2 children at a shopping centre all day yesterday, what a nightmare and imagine if I had of been barfing all day at the shopping centre - OHHH NOT FUN!! So lucky it happened when it did, but it would have been nice to be home last night and for Wade to look after lachlan as I was majorly struggeling, was even considering ringing the ambulance as I was struggeling so badly. Funnily enuf when I was 36 weeks pregnant with lachlan I also got vomitting and dirreha and it would have worked out to be only a day or two after my birthday too, how bizzaaa.... Also lachlan and I got it last year too, but haven't managed to put a date to it as yet. Must be this time of year though that these type of illnesses start to make their way around. And it is funny how you can be affected so differently too. When we were in Warrick, WAde's sister felt sick, but didn't barf or have dirreha, and her son was off his food, lachlan only vomitted and I got both. Anyway feeling so much better this arvo, hopefully I can eat tonight and good riddens to yesterday/today.

Hope everyone is well.

kim - so glad to hear that Cam is home for you, i hope you are able to get some sleep tonight, in spirit i will be right there in theatre with you in the morning, much love to you x Jay is employed only part time as are 80% of the others employed at the factory, he is only garruanteed 15 hours a week, oh well, we shall just ride with it hey! All the best tomorrow hun


sheree - great to see you back, although im sorry to hear of all the stress you have had! I cannot believe you are well into the third trimester already!! Well done for looking at the bright side of things, it definately would have ben terrible if you were sick at the supermarket with a toddler and a newborn.

I feel so majorly stressed atm, i think its cause of the money thing, i really need to just get over it! Arch screamed in his bedroom for an hour tonight, then i put him in our bed and he went straight to sleep. Big woohoo for us, Arch starts Daycare in the morning, of course i am nervous but also SO excited to have some me time, i am gonna get right into my study, cause i reckon once i get a taste of life away from SAHM i will want to find some part time work.

Sending you much love for tomorrow Kim. (you too Elissa with daycare!)

[~Leanne~]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Kim.... MWAH....

I just completed the application form for my childcare degree.
Fingers crossed I get accepted.
I have the computer and am working on a housework etc roster, so all I need now is acceptance in the course and my new career is on its way.

Off to bed. I is stuffed!

Good luck Leanne, you'll be great.
