cally- we got our stimulus money last week. did you do your taxes through an accountant? as our cheques were sent to our accountant and then he sent them to us which explains some of the delay.

Arte - haven't watched it yet...saw the final ep of part 1 of season 4 and decided it was prolly going to be a little on the too-bleak side. Had a few bleak weeks in there and could only handle light and fluffy. Haven't forgotten either that I'm sending something to you. When I get around to it!
Cally are you really planning on only having the 1? Was this a post-birth decision or something you always wanted? BTW I did copy the post but then my whole puter crashed so it well and truly went to cybernowhere. Cally I think it's close enough to May 16th to justify ringing them to enquire!!
Rainy - huge wooohoooo! on the care! See, we told you it would be good.

Rainy - that's great that you're happy with the care - have you got your labeller ready??
Md - how are you going? I loved your quote on fb about faith and fear. I have so many fears it does my head in sometimes. I'm a real pessimist.
cally - come to my stylist session with me!!!! i'll be so nervous.

JaZaH actually I'm having a bit of a dilemma today...not sure yet if I need to book more care for E once chemo starts...she has been missing me these last few weeks (extra care, DH has been looking after her etc while i rest) but on the other hand I'm worried about how I'm going to cope. What do you think?

Hi md - have you got any close friends or family that would go to your place and look after Miss E? (i guess it would have to be someone that you felt incredibly comfortable with too) That way she could still see you and get the occasional cuddle. I know that all chemo medicines are different and have different effects on people - so i guess you won't know how you're going be feeling until you have it. I know when my mum had chemo, there were a couple of weeks where she felt ok, and then one week that she felt quite sick - i think it may have been the last week before the next round started. I'm not sure though. Can you book the days in and then not send her if you're feeling ok? It's that mummy guilt thing isn't it. Little rascals they are

Yep. She's so happy today, it's the first full day we've had at home together, just her and me, in about 4 weeks.It's that mummy guilt thing isn't it.Not to mention the expense of it all. No one who can really look after her here for me. Am thinking maybe I should book her in, but then if I'm ok, change the hours so we spend the morning together when I've got oomph and then she can go to care in the afternoon for a few hours - long enough for me to have a proper sleeping rest so I'm functional in the evenign when DD1 and DH are home. Problem with booking care - if I book, I pay.

you know if i were closer, Miss E and my Miss H could have lots of play dates together.
Next time i'm talking to my mum, i'll ask her how she REALLY felt. You know what mums are like - keep a smile on their dial even when feeling horrible.
