My little brother and his wife live in Mission Beach in North Qld and have just got everything replaced through insurance and now have more damage to deal with. I guess tho to put it into perspective it is the tropics and it is monsoon weather -my little brother said the weather up there just seems to be righting itself IYKWIM?
Wow Ann I wish I only had a few weeks. You must be soooo excited - can you pls post a belly pic I would love to see it before they come out! Jols time is ticking for oyu too.
Tara Jake had issues like that when he started at his second daycare after the first one burnt down. They just need to express their emotion that you are leaving then they take the next phase in their stride and keep going.
Christy, Kim, Nicola, Blanche hope you are all good.
AFM well we are now officially a one car family - handed the car back last night. And on our first day (today) I had to drive DH to the airport at a quarter to six bcos he is away for 2 days. I keep asking why can't he catch a cab?!?!?!?!?!?!
I am struggling to reconnect with who I am when I am not a high flying career person and being a SAHM again. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I have always defined myself by my achievements and where I am at in my career. The 12 months I was on mat leave with Jake b4 I started TW were kind of a holding pattern knowing I would go back to something, but this time it won't be until the second baby is at least walking... I have a personal belief in kids not going into daycare until they can walk... but who knows our situation might dictate otherwise. SO now have thrown myself into structuring our week with activities etc, finding playgroups and establishing some mummy networks up here - which I haven't done at all. Am a bit scared of becoming isolated especially if DH needs the car for work, and I am freaking scared of public transport - not that there is a great network up here.
*sigh* I know that they are only minor things in the overall scheme of things and there are others far worse off but with Jake sick again I keep thinking of things I could change or that I haven't done to fix it but I can't. The doctor doesn't want us to put him on any supplements until we are through this 8 week period bcos we need to get a baseline of what his body and immune system do when they are "normal". As long as we don't end up in hospital again - that is my mantra.
At least I have V to play with tmrw and bring some light!
