Happy Birthday Olissa

I am much closer to 40 than 30 nowadays so you are officially a young whipper snapper

Cometrickortreatingwithme · 08/10/2009 21:03

Thankyou everyone for your lovely words and welcome .

shabbapinkfrog · 08/10/2009 23:44

Herhonesty - never feel guilty my friend. Life just dealt us different hands. If you read through our very special thread you should hold your DD even closer and tell her how much you love her - which is something I reckon you already do. Im glad you posted. xxxx

Good morning everyone , I am feeling knackered but a bit happier today . Coming out the other end of the tunnel for now .

How is everyone doing this morning ?

shabbapinkfrog · 09/10/2009 06:50

Morning girls. Morning TW. I made a serious 'school boy' error of going around to my friends last night - even though we came home at 10.30pm I know I am going to struggle to get Tom out of bed this morning xx

Oh dear , did you have fun though ?

How is Tom getting on at school now ? Any improvement ?

shabbapinkfrog · 09/10/2009 07:06

Yes we had fun.

Tom seems to just be 'getting on with it.' Every now and then he says he has had a great day !!!

I wonder where he gets that from ?

Morning.

We still have a house of lurgy here. Boyo was up till 3 being sick, then dd woke at four coughing badly. DP ended up getting up at 5 with her whilst i went back to sleep.

Hope everyone has a good day today x

Oh and welcome to those ladies who have joined us recently - i'm sorry that you have to be here at all... but i'm glad you found us.

shabbapinkfrog · 09/10/2009 09:44

Hiya Dee - hope you all feel loads better really soon - can you still hear the kids coughing even when they aren't??? Thats what I was like with our tom

Welcome trickortreat and TPS - crap you have to be here...

TW glad you are out the otherside.

About a week after we lost F, DD and DS had balloons. When we got home DS (3) said he wanted to let it go so that it would go up to the clouds where F could play with it. We went outside and he let it go, and I could not tear my eyes away from it. I watched it until it was the tiniest speck - it was a beautiful clear day and the balloon must have travelled for miles before I eventually lost sight of it. Totally broke my heart.

tinkerbellesmuse · 09/10/2009 10:52

And Happy Birthday Olissa

ThePrettiestStar · 09/10/2009 12:02

Hi all, thanks for the welcome.

I know it's awful that people have to be in such situations, but it's comfort to be able to talk to others that understand.

We have the lurgy (hope that means colds?!) starting in this house. I have had both children in bed with us at varying times during the night... and am feeling the effects of it this morning

ThePrettiestStar · 09/10/2009 12:07

Oh and Happy Birthday Olissa - I was there myself in July, it was a shock at the time, but no bother now (I just don't think about it!)

hazygirl · 09/10/2009 14:37

afternoon girls,and welcome to new ladies ,sorry you have to meet like this but this is my comfort,these girls are the best.

ThePrettiestStar · 09/10/2009 17:06

Do you know, I've just been reading the DM/TWR thread - do any of you worry about telling your stories?

Mine would personally read like some kind of soap opera it's that bad.

I really could do with some understanding friends.

I have been lurking since 2006 not long after my daughter died. I used to be a member of Special kids but quit, also after she died, as I didn't feel I belonged there anymore.

I registered in 2007 when I was pregnant with my son and have just lurked until recently.

It just makes me very wary as (to be honest) I couldn't be doing with the extra stress/pressure at the moment.

ThePrettiestStar · 09/10/2009 17:19

To be thought of as a troll, to be clear!

Thelighthousekeeper · 09/10/2009 17:57

Hi everyone, hope you are all okay.

Having been awol for a while, I'd like also say welcome to all the new ladies. Everyone here is wonderful and such a support - a true friend.

Had news today from France that my cousin lost her battle with cancer yesterday, she was just 42 years old. At least she is at peace now and no longer suffering. The most awful thing is that right until the end she knew what was going on and what was happening to her.

Thelighthousekeeper · 09/10/2009 18:00

ILIKE- Is there any chance you could Noah to the list?
His birthday is 26th March 2008 and his Remember Day is 4th June 2008 - thank you, you are a star x

Thelighthousekeeper · 09/10/2009 18:01

PS Happy Belated Birthday Olissa!x

Right I AM going now!

travellingwilbury · 09/10/2009 18:13

TPS , I do know what you mean but I do think of this place as a haven from all that nonsense . Please don't feel like you won't be believed on here . The pure fact that we have all lost children means that some won't believe because they can't bare to think about it but I never worry on here about saying it like it is and we all understand .

Lighthouse , I am sorry to hear about your cousin , 42 is no age is it ? I hope you are ok , I always find at times like that it brings everything flooding back x Be kind to yourself xx

Deemented · 09/10/2009 19:01

Yunno, i am so fucking pissed off right now and am bloody tired of it all. I haven't the energy nor inclination to fight anymore. DS is still being sick, DD can't stop coughing and DP's ex has just added the cherry to the top of the cake - she announced that if he didn't take his son for the weekend - he usually has him in the week - then she'd stop him seeing him. Also, said that if, and i quote 'you bring my son anywhere near that slut and her bastards then that's the last you'll see of him'

So no DP over the weekend to help me out at all. I just feel so ill and worn down and i'm so tired.

Not sure how much more i can take.

hazygirl · 09/10/2009 19:08

aw dee thats bloody awful,wot a nice lady eh.and using a child is sick,wish you were nearer us all im sure wed pitch in and help out.
