Well, as you can see, I've uploaded a ticker. I'm still not 100% sure on dates, since the u/s said I'm over a week behind where I thought I was, but I'll readjust it after I see my usual gp on the 4th March & get a more definite answer.
I've kinda been avoiding you guys. Sorry. SJ I know you're having a hard time & I didn't want you to feel as if I was rubbing it in or anything. The fact that I'm still not over the shock is part of it too.
Anthony's home. Looking for work again. Feeling like total crap, exhausted, then our problems on top of it all I feel like I'm an idiot for letting this happen. I'd actually told Anthony it was over & that I didn't want him here. I was trying to get him to leave any way I could til this happened.
We'll see what happens. I just don't have the energy to care either way at the moment.
Oh Skye that sounds aweful. I hope Anth either finds something quickly or gets the heck outta there, though I'm sure it'll be hard raising 4 kids. In the end though you need to be happy and if you're happy the kids will be more at peace I'm sure.
Please don't avoid us though. We're all here for eachother through good times and bad.
Hope everyone else is ok.
Well, I'm getting Jazz's birthday party organised. We're just having an afternoon tea. I've got to get a pass the parcel organised and perhaps one other activity. There'll be a mixed age group of kids ranging from under 1 through to school age, but the party should only go for 2-3 hours. Might make lots of playdough and get some paper & crayons. Perhaps for older kids an "egg and spoon" race (using ping pong balls). Jazz will be having cupcakes as her birthday cake, hopefully pink ones. I'll do some fairy bread and fruit platter and I found a recipe for cheese stick wands which I'll probably make. I'll try to keep most of the food healthy.
Sorry, more news about me: I got a new job! It's still at the same place but in a different area and it's permanent at a higher level. I'm starting on 9 March after the Adelaide Cup long weekend (which is the day of Jazz's party).
Oh Skye hun am sorry you are in such a crap situation its so hard to know what to do sometimes. I hope you can find a solution that works for you and the kids and that you ahve supportive friends and family around you. Hangin there sweet and come vent and talk on here sometimes it just helps to get it off your chest.
Danni congrats on the new job hope it goes well.
We are having a party for Will too. Not a big dealjust a picnic lunch in the enw adventure playground with some friends. He lvoes the aprk so will jsut go off and will probably just be adults eating *L* making the coco pops teddy bear cake this year.Havent had to buy pressies as Santa had lots of left overs at xmas so they have bene itn he present box and have asked for jsut bookes if people want ot get gifts. He has so many toys that I have had to put a lot away as he just doesnt play with them properly when too many.
WIll starts an extra day at care in two weeks. We have decided seeing mum goes way for 5months and she is more or less my only break that an extra day will do us both good.With the rebate it will only cost an extra 20 a week whcih is worth my sanity..a day to do stuff for me to sleep if I need to and also the day when Nick and I will go to counselling..whcih will hopefull help get things back on track.
I am off to Brisbane enxt weekend wil be away by myself form Friday ngiht till MOnday night and nick is looking after Will. I cant wait as really need some itme ot myself atm but is also the longest I have left WIll and never just with NIck mum has been around. FINgers crossed they will cope with it all haveelft myself Friday to get the hosue organised andmeals done etc.It smy cousins 40th brithday and we are really close..its a suprise and am gonna trun up ont he day of the party so cant wait.
Prama girl how youdoing??????
Sammie..to be honest I dont think that its a selfish move waiting for the allowance. Its so dam hard financially and we know that why we dont have kids but it can put a HUGE HUGE strain on our relationships and change our decisions about working and what we can do as a family so I completley understand.
Get this..turns out NIcks arm wasnt fractured"oops we made a mistake your am is so sore now becasue its been imobolised for 10 days" becasue we are slack arses when it comes to our fracture clinic!!!" Am glad at least he is out of a cast but was not happy Jan.
I have bought some brauers baby calm for Will as it turns out he has his mother penchant for insomina and has been doing stretches of up to 5 hours wake fo a ngiht and its nearly killing us. The clamative is having some effect at least.
Anyway enough from me..hope you girls are doing ok life sure does throw us some curve balls sometimes but am glad I have a place to write it all down ( even if it can bore you to tears some days i am sure *L*)
Bron xx
Hope all works out for you Skye don't stay with Anth just for the kids you will do what I did and 14 years later wonder what the hell you did that for.... You are raising them on your own already so you need to do what's right for you.. PM me if you want a chat
I am constantly feeling sick or tired at the moment I'm so over it feel like throwing up a lot which sux (no I'm not PG hehe)
skye - a personal question - does it make things harder or easier when anth is with you? it's a big decision but only one you can make. if you arent happy, you dont have to stick it out just because you're pg. you might find you are happier without all the problems with anth. and he will always be the kids daddy.
bron - hope things are better w nick and you.
danni - congrats on your job.
sorry i havent been posting much. this pg has been giving me constant headaches. and im still feeling yuck. ms has eased but not a 100%, and feeling so so tired.
thanks sj - i had headaches but not like this with, it wasnt so often. i prob them abt 4 or 5 times in all w lakshman.
Lakshman seems to understand that I'm not feeling the best. As soon as I get home from work, he asks DH to move from the sofa, and pats it for me to sit. And doesnt let me get up to go do stuff in the kitchen etc. he's so cute..
yesterday we had lunch at MIL's, and he went a got me an extra cushion for the dining room chair and asked me to sit. ahhh.. these little things that make it so beautiful being a mother!
