Morning girls!

Kim - Good luck today hun. You are in thoughts and prayers. How's Cam handling it all? I hope he is giving you the support you deserve.

Sheree - Sheesh! What a trip! Glad to hear you are on the mend now though. I am ok with the relationship issues. At the moment nothing seems to be going my way in the sense of finding the money to get a house. I had a house in mind but when i tried to apply for a bond load they told me i was'nt eligible because we "own" a house. So that stuffed that. I applied to one of the fast cash places for a loan and got it but can't get the money approved until i show that my centrelink benefits will go up to over $700p/f. Its all such a drama. And to be completely honest, I am considering staying. Makes you realise why people stay in tough relationships for longer than they should have. It makes it all even harder with the fact that Brent is saying he does'nt want me to go. Oh why oh why does it all have to be do difficult.

Leanne - Thats great that you applied for your course! Fingers crossed you get in! Will you be doing in f/t, p/t or external???

Elissa - Briley is doing the same thing at the moment. We have to leave her crying in her room for about 20mins before she'll go to sleep. Her tantrums have also stepped up a notch. The littlest things set her off. Its all started since the hospital stay. Brent is having work issues aswell. He finally secured a f/t job starting next tuesday which pays good though! Its long overdue though! I know times are hard at the moment but keep your chin up, they always seem to pass.

I need to see a counsellor. Does anyone know how I can go about this without having to fork out the money???

Not much on today. Just cleaning and doing some uni stuff.

Love to you Kim!

GL to you today Kim xoxo

My little monkey pulled off his nappy when he had a sleep yesterday arvo and we had urine everywhere. Couldn't be bothered cleaning it up seeing as it was my Birthday, so put a mattress on the floor and low and behold he slept on it all night. And I had a sleep in till 9am and I went in there and he was still laying on it. Ohhhh what a good boy. Being away has made a load of difference to his eating and attitude. Unbelievable. Maybe we are ready for a big boys bed. Have to move first, not putting it together to take it apart to put it together again!!!

Well lots of unpacking to do and reorganising my house. Unbeleivable these men, what sort of a shambles they live in when you are not here!

Sara - my course is external. It is through Tafe OTEN, which means I can still work while studying, and then can eventually stop working here and start the business without missing out on too much pay.
Well that is the plan anyway, have to get accepted first.
Don't want to jump the gun.

Kim - thinking of you today.

christine - thanks for the well wishes!

leanne - good on you, i have my fingers crossed for you, you willbe a great day carer.

sara - so you have a hospital near you?? My counsellor has been totally free cause she works for community health at the hospital. Maybe ask your GP about it and tell him you really need counselling but can't afford it, surely there will be a low cost option for you. When Briley cries for 20 mins at bedtime, is it 20 continuous mins or do you go in and settle her a few times? Does she whinge or really work herself up? Just trying to get ideas. Im sorry you are finding it so hard to get out on your own, centrelink certainly never make anything easy for you in those situations either.

sheree - good on you for refusing to clean up on your birthday! Well done Lachlan for sleeping so well in a big bed (well close to a big bed anyway).

kim - am thinking of you and sending you warm hugs

Well it was Archie's 1st day at Daycare today and it couldn't have gone better!! I can't believe i have put it off this long and stressed and felt so guilty about it. I said goodbye to him and he didn't get upset really but he tried to chase me out the door and the day carer grabbed him and he just got really angry and kept screaming at her to leave him alone LOL, i just hopped into the car, giggled and thought, glad its her not me he he he. I didn't think of him once all day, i loved it! When i picked him up he was so happy to see me but was in no hurry to go, just kept showing me the toys he had played with all day, hes excited to go back again next week, im gonna try and get an extra day too. SO, i am one happy relaxed refreshed proud mummy today, i should habve listened to you all and done it earlier

Yay Elissa, yay Archie - what a gr8 acheivement. So happy for you both.

Well Lachlan slept on the mattress for his day sleep too with no protest. I put him down at 12.15pm and peeped at him at 1pm and he was sound asleep and on his pillow with his doona over him, didn't even walk around. Ohhh I am so pleased. I just went in at 3.45pm and he was awake and still laying there. Such progress for us, I am so proud of my good little boy.

We are starting to move stuff into the new house this weekend, they have given us a month, but we may as well slowly plug away at it. Then Lachlan will be in his bed and I am finally feeling really confident about it.

I think I am starting to get a bladder infection now. I am so sensitive. I think it is from the dirreha I had. Tummy and back very sore and stingy when I pee. I ate last night for the first time in 24 hours and I still feel like it is sitting in my throat so haven't eaten all day in fear! My body is going to the pack.
