Tee hee! Hope Bailz likes her - it's been a while since they caught up.
LOL @ yummy mummy! Did you like my big red pimple and red bags under my eyes? Other than that, the yellow teeth and flat hair, I'm delicious.
Thanks for the lovely comments though, girls. Feels gooey to have people admire your offspring
must be the day for crap to be going on - i'm on the brink of tears and have been for several hours. so much going on that i just can't seem to deal with properly. my last caller at work was just about enough to tip me over. thankfully i live close now and being greeted with excited screams of "Mummy, MUMMY, you're HOME" and big smiles - it stopped me falling apart - but i'm not far off
Hope things get better for you too BG, have to agree about the squeals of mummy making everything seem good.
Not sure if repeating myself but since being a mum have realised how clever monsters Inc film is - laughter generating electricity - because little ones laughter is just so special is only a small leap to believe could be used to generate electricity. When they laugh sometimes it does seem like the lights shine a bit brighter.
BG - I hope you are feeling a little better this evening than you were today. Fingers crossed you got some lovely toddler cuddles and that you get a good nights rest tonight.
J - Congrats on getting the new house! Diggers Rest is still not far from me
Vic - Hmmm, maybe that's why my light bulbs keep dying even though they are meant to be the "long life" ones hehe
KL - Sounds like you were treated atrociously - and I don't understand how anyone could think that behavior like you were subjected to would be likely to encourage people to vaccinate, if anything that sort of thing is likely to push people the other way whether they have made an informed decision or not. Is there anyone you can complain to? (I am pro-vax in general, but in your case I think I would have done exactly as you have, (sometimes I feel a bit ashamed to be pro-vax because of some attitudes people display - it should always be up to the individual, and there will always be cases where vaccination is inappropriate, you don't need 100% vaccination for herd immunity anyway - trying to bully people into it is just ridiculous)).
Grrrrr KL that just sucks, you handled it much better than me!! We are pro-vax'ers too like Vic, but thats my choice and I would never push that on anyone else, I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience xxx
Oh kl . That is just not on honey! I am like the other girls, pro vaxs but if I was in your situation with your history I wouldn't either. A lady I know got her daughter vax'ed with MMR and she got type 1 diabetes immediately after and apparently that is in the contraindicated list if you have a family history of diabetes, but you never get asked about any of them.... Sorry you had to go thru that.
love my bubba girl - she seems to keep the bad stuff at bay a little. still so much going on that is hard to process at the moment. trying to hold it together for E but really struggling. haven't been posting much because i just don't know how to find the words. feeling so overwhelmingly sad and so GUILTY - and i can't deal with that. mostly keeping it together for E, but sometimes it gets too much. usually when i'm tired, it gets harder to keep the facade up
going to bed. praying E sleeps through. praying i sleep. just need my brain to stop for a while
Thanks for the support ladies It's funny because I actually totally agree with the whole "informed consent" concept, so a part of me would have loved to stick around for their little "information session" that was to be followed by the vaccinations. I wonder if they were going to say anything about potential risks. Hmm, and how would they have responded if I asked questions, lol.
The one thing that I have learnt from this though, is that I seem to feel quite comfortable with the decision we have made not to vaccinate at this point in time. Up until now I wasn't sure if I was actually fully happy with our choice, but the fact that I was angry, and not upset makes me realise that I am happy with it. I think if I had felt upset it might have been a sign that I felt a little guilty about not vaccinating. It really has been the hardest decision for us to make because neither of us are against vaccinations.
I think at times we feel like we are in a "you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't" situation. We'd kick ourselves so bad if we vaccinated and something really bad happened, but on the flip side, we'd also kick ourselves if either of the kidlets come down with one of the diseases in a bad way. I should switch my thinking to the opposite though: "It's fine if you do, and it's fine if you don't". My babies probably wouldn't have a reaction if we vaccinated, and they probably will be fine if we don't
PS. Pass the cotton wool please so I can wrap up my babies
BG - So sorry to hear that things aren't going so well at the moment. One day soon when you have a day off work you should try to have a "worry free day". Just try to put aside all the bad things for one day and focus only on all the good. Sure, all those bad things will still be there, but just for one day they can wait and be forgotten. Hopefully one full carefree day will re-charge your batteries and give you the renewed energy to tackle things. I'm so glad that our little ones seem to have the magical ability to make other problems disappear, even if only for a little while ♥
thanks KL
i have worry free "part days" - we spend a lot of time at parks and outside playing with E and just forgetting we are grown up and responsible adults! it helps heaps.
my sig might explain why my head is messed up at the moment...
