says it all really. having a bad day. dd was ill yesterday with a temperature, not eating or drinking and really tired. she seems fine this morning so must have just been a 24 hour thing. DH has agreed to go to counselling in the hope that things MIGHT work out between us. I told him that there is no guaruntee though. He said that if he is going to lose me, he wants to know that at least we tried first.

I have to go out to get some milk in a bit. Not looking forward to doing that. DS1 is being a nightmare over half term. I know he is probably bored.

To top it all off....




found out on wednesday that I am pregnant again.... I am so tired....



Sorry to rant. AGAIN....

Not in the best frame of mind to help you today(something trivial, but important to me IYKWIM).

I have been thinking of you lately and I am glad to see you have regained some control in your relationship.

Try and break it all down into bite size pieces.

I hope someone else comes along soon.



Lots of love


LGJ

sorry to hear your feeling down - the hormones from the pregnacey could be making you more tired than normal.

When are you "do"???? Is this good or bad news?

Totally trivial, DH remembered my birthday......only problem is it is today and not tomorrow, so I have lots of cards from my family and friends and none from my H and my DS who is only 4 and obviously relies on H to get him a card.


Cut and paste from last nights moan on here below.

DH and I used to have money to waste, not burn,
but waste IYKWIM.

Then we moved North/South and the mortgage has taken every penny for the last 5 years.

I was 40 last year and I refused to nominate a pressie, as we had no money, instead I ring fenced a decent sum of money for a dinner for four of us and to eat in that is what we did.

Bearing in mind I love my B/Day, I thought my, lets not worry about it attitude was quite grown up.(For me)

This year he started asking what I wanted for my birthday...............my answer being....we still can't afford to deliver on last year.............but diamonds are looking good, all in jest as it will be next year before we can spend anything over a few hundred quid.

Tonight I announced that X and Y and Zssss had confirmed the Sunday lunch invitation and should I visit Xxxxxxxxxxxx fish site for a starter ??

His face fell, genuinely fell. He had forgotten my birthday as in tomorrow, but had it in his mind that it was Saturday.

I am, as pissed off as I am, as I refused a big deal last year.

Am I being unreasonable ?? Yes is probably the answer, but boy is he squirming this morning.

If food is a problem, make sure you are taking your folic acid and multi-vitamins.


Sorry about the rant, I know it is totally trivial in the scheme of things.

If you don't fancy eating, what about some pure orange juice to help keep your blood sugar levels up?

If you go out in the rain, your ds can stamp in the puddles! My kids like any activity when they're bored.

not that it makes any difference to how things are between us. its going to take a lot of time and effort for both of us if we are going to even try to get through things.

And orange juice is also a good source of folic acid. Thinking of you Titania, hoping the weekend is better for you, and wishing you luck with the counselling. I am sure you know even if dh doesn't that counselling can help people END relationships in a positive way as well as rebuild them. Best wishes

Congrats hun... been meaning to catch up with you for a while.

Don't know if this is the right thing to say, but I'm sure you will cope. You really wanted no4, and it will be lovely for your three to have another brother or sister.
