Pam - glad to hear from you, my heart just sits in my mouth everytime I even look at the tele. You have definately been in my thoughts and prayers, I just hope that the weekend temps dont flare it all up again. take care xx

Kerry - so jealous of you going to hk. Dont blame you for worrying about the getting there part cause but I'm sure you'll do just fine. Nup, no teeth here yet, just wondering how damned long this can go on for. We've had another awful night last night. she doesnt cry or anything like that, she just faffs abouts and rips the blankets off, then wants the dummy, then wants a bottle or a cuddle.

eej - aaahh yes that's the charlotte I mean, so she's changed her UN then .

joh - I heard on the radio this morning that somewhere in capalaba there are trucks loading and leaving tomorrow and friday with donations of all sorts - it was Nova so might be on the website.

Well, I am just having a bit of a shyte time atm. We've been having trouble with ds15 ever since I can remember and have always been shunned at school or not taken seriously by anyone and I have finally found some help for his behaviour and learning probs. We are up for a long hard haul with him, not that it hasn't been hard already. I have always had a feeling that there was something not right with him, not simple or anything, just not right IYGWIM. Anyway, I asked yesterday at the learning support centre we have found if there is a possibility that he has mild autism/aspergers and she said that she had already written a note that may be the case but didnt want to upset me. I just think that a mother always knows when something isn't right. Just had to get that out of my system cause df isn't too supportive and thinks that we are all overreacting , but at the end of the day, it's not his son, he doesnt have the connection with him. Sorry for the epic...
then...... I go to the dr today and have to go back next week to have some cancers cut from my cheek. I have one on my nose but he burned it today because cutting it would require skin grafts in hospital, so we have to keep a close eye on it... Hmmm, I've always looked after my skin so it's pretty scary..

sorry for the all about me post, there are so many people going through such an awful time right now and I feel like a biatch having a whinge.

Talk again soon, going to buy some nappies to make myself feel better LOL..
