not feeling good

@BlueBay

Hi @BlueBay xx

we are having Ravoli tonight

I am tired but ok @BlueBay

hubby is a bit worried but I think he needs some time out

lol @BlueBay. you are meant to be culling furniture - not adding. lol. but i can't go into Bunnings and come out with just the one thing I was meant to buy either..... and they know it.... i spend way to much there. Although I have been good and have avoided their shop all year!!!! So far. But mum got me Bunning vouchers for Christmas and my garden does need some more sugar cane mulch and some Seasol Spray. lol. So won't be long before I am back there again.

Yes, baby stuff, mega expensive. And most of it isn't needed. There are beautiful and cute little outfits for newbornes. But really singlets and growsuits are far more comfortable for them, And so easy to wash.

Love how they have a Layby. But that in itself could pose a problem for someone like me. When my best friend was pregnant, I bought a nappy bin for her one week. Then every fortnight when I did the grocery shopping, I would add something for her bub. A bath thermometre, singlets, teething rings, etc. It didn't add much to the grocery bill, but i filled that bucket up by the time the baby arrived. And before I gave it to her, I could afford then to go and buy a beautiful baby blanket as well.

I miss those days. My 14 year old son, informed me AGAIN, that he is not having kids. I think when I'm reaedy to be a Grandma, I'll just adopt some neighbourhood kids, with Grandparents that live too far away.

I'm glad you managed to get some sleep. I don't know if that documentary would have been a good option for you to watch. A bit triggering for a lot of people i imagine.

Tomorrow, I cut down my sons Peach Tree which we have never been able to get fruit off. It's been infected with a Gumogisis or something or other. Anyway, it is going to get the chop tomorrow. And then I'll dig 4 new holes and plant my new plants. And mow some more of my garden/grass. etc etc.

Hi @BlueBay

So good to read you sounding much better. You are doing well.

And congrats on being a soon-to-be grandma (or mumma as I prefer to be called).

I think I recall you having a dream of holding a baby and feeling a great love and joy not long ago wondering what it meant. Well there you go my friend - a gift not only to your daughter. The love and close bond you will form with your grandchild will help heal the wounds of the love denied you. Life has a way of making the wrongs right to those who are good and loving. Hence our hope is never in vain. Seize the opportunity as you are already starting to. All will get better, you will get better as will your life 🙂

Morning @BlueBay Hope you had a good night and today is full of light for you

Morning @Zoe7@Former-Member@utopia

I have just had breakfast while reading through some posts here 🙂 You know the best part of being on here is just reading everyone's support and love for each other. It makes me so happy to see, I love it

I did sleep well, although my asthma and cough didn't wake me up!!! My poor daughter is still very chesty, but she has today and tomorrow off work.

My hubby and one son have gone to a car show over an 1 hour away from home. My youngest son went out last night and I don't even know what time he came in.

Think I will have a shower and wash my hair and I don't really know what I'll do today. Maybe some grocery shopping 😞

The weather is terrible, windy and cold - so much for summer. Might have to start knitting again.

What are you going to do today @Zoe7? Hi @utopia i see that you're gfoing to be busy today in the garden. Isn't it nice when you plant fruit trees and vegies and then you pick and eat them. The taste is so different 🙂 That is so good that your son can cook, my boys started to cook at about the same age; now in their 20's they can cook basically anything. It is really good as I think it prepares them for when they go out into the big wide world (still waiting for mine to do that!!!)

@Former-Member yes, do you remember my dream. The calmness, the peace the love I had for this baby that was in my arms. Now I get it - this baby will be my grandchild. Oh i can't wait. I am trying to calm down and not be too over the top, but I just can't wait to tell all my friends. No one knows yet, only you guys on here and my GP and pysch. I just want to scream it out loud 🙂

Wishing you all a beautiful day full of joy and positiveness. Back later to chat again xxxooo

Hi @BlueBay I had a really horrible night so I am not going to do much at all today. I'm still feeling quite ill so I am just going to take it easy and not put any pressure on myself to do anything.

I am glad you did sleep

Knitting sounds like a great thing to do on a windy and cold day.

It's good to hear you sounding chirpy this morning @BlueBay ....
