Could do with a hug

Dh is leaving tomorrow to start new job. Won't see him all week (and it is half term so I will have 4 kids to myself all week). So what has he spent all day doing? Sulking because I spent the morning helping out with PTA jumble sale and all afternoon until now he has watched rugby and football on the TV. I feel so sad and anxious, but he isn't caring. Don't get me wrong, he is a good man really and I am not attacking him, but he is giving me the TLC I need right now.

Oh yes mine do that too. But a lot of incidents happen in th middle of the night with no warning - hence my fear of being alone with them at night.

Hi Aimsmum! How are you?

The rental house should be available this weekend and we will move some stuff into it then, but I don't think the kids and I can move straightaway as the kids have to say goodbye at school. Do they? I suppose so.......

In ten minutes time, someone is coming round to view our house - our first viewing! Wouldn't it be great if they liked it and put an offer in? Am about to make myself scarce as I don't want to be here when they come.

Viewing been and gone. Darn, I didn't think of the coffee or fresh bread trick. TBH if she could see past the mess I would be happy! Our house is covered in junk and too much stuff.

How on earth do you dislocate a jaw by clenching it? That sounds serious!

Well the evening is approaching now. Just this night to go.... Still feel so low and anxious but I am trying to keep it together for dh's phone call this evening.

One more night to go. Send me good vibes anyone reading this (even if you don't know why!)

Aimsmum, I saw a programme once about jaw grinders. I can't remember if there is any therapy for it?

No, no more viewings lined up, just that one so far. It seems quiet in the house buying business at the moment, or is it just that our house isn't very desirable? We only bought it because we were desperate!

Hi. Another night gone. As usual when dh is away, my sleep wasn't the best: couldn't get to sleep to begin with because of every little noise, then cold in bed, then ds3 woke up and called for me at 4:40 am - I went in and he immediately lay down to sleep again, didn't even want a cuddle - grrrrrrrrrr! He woke again at 6:45 and that was my sleep for the night.

Don't know what time dh is home yet, he is going to ring me when he is on his way. This firm usually stops work at 1 pm on Fridays () but because he is senior management, he satys on and has meetings with the American bosses ({angry]) I bet that pettern becomes familiar over the next few months!

Not even sure what we are doing this w/e although it should include a trip to the new house. Ds3 is 2 tomorrow and we have nothing bought or planned for him, poor mite. I feel so sorry for him. Will try to go out this pm to buy him a little something.

hi lonelymum, chin up it's nearly over now!!!!
(although i have the prospect of another identical week next week!)
hope you managed to get something for your 2 year old today.it will be nice for you celebrate and remember how sweet it was when babs was born.
just been having a sleep to catch up on the bad night i had last night, when the phone woke me.came down and found a message from dh saying call me.so i did, and he was in a meeting!!!ggrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
we had a long distance relationship for a couple of years when we were courting and it was horrid.I'm amazed we survived it.and now i find myself in more or less the same situation except that i now have 2 kids and so can't console myself by going out clubbing and drinking! sweet!
sorry to keep moaning the same moan but its getting me down. life shouldn't be like this.

Oh alexsmum, you do sound fed up. If it is any consolation (and I know it is not!) I am also going to have to go through this again next week, well for part of the week at the very least.

Well, dh is home about 7:30 ish. I feel too shattered to get excited about it. Also there is tomorrow to worry about: ds3's birthday but no celebration planned, and probably a really busy day moving stuff and shouting at each other as we realise we have no plans for this move whatsoever. Also, I have toothache suddenly: I think maybe a filling has fallen out. Great! Really want to go to the dentist next week (not).

Sorry, I am a real moaner. I meant to say thanks to everyone who thought kind thoughts about me this week and managed to post some encouragement. I hope you can make time for some more support next week too. Have a good weekend anyway.
