Babystep 7 - Pick out your clothes

I have made cherry and almond flapjacks with DD2. I blended up the cherries into tiny bits so that hopefully DS1 will eat them now! He doesn't like cherries! If not he will go without!

Need to wash up the bits i used plus breakfast bits.

Hello all

Love to you TMH xxxxxxxx

Well I have only just had 5 mins to sit down, and even now I have to go back out to pick the kids up.

My neighbour has leant me her excercise equipment. I have a Lateral Thigh Stepper thingy, a rowing machine, another leg workout machine and a trampete!
Absolutely no idea where I am gonna put them!!!
Just thought I'd try them out before I decide to buy anything, as I have been thinking about it for ages.
My neighbour was only too pleased to lend them to me too, as they were collecting dust in her downstairs loo.

Shall spend some time this evening trying them out

Kind of getting lots done; had a midday blip and went all pathetic and sat outside eating a takeaway but got back onto it early afternoon. SO much paperwork! Where do i put all the damn stuff?! Need to Ebay a whole truck load also. Wish Dh would let me ebay his disgusting huge black leather armchairs

Evening all

I have cried and cried and cried. The funeral was really moving, it was hard seeing BabyLs daddy and twin brother carrying the little white coffin. The cemetary was as hard as I thought it was going to be.

They had a really large picture of BabyL and he was wearing clothes thar we had handed down, infact he was in most of the photos, it made me smile knowing that they used them so much.

My neice wanted to read a poem, but was unable to so the minister did, it had everyone, even my DH is tears

What Makes A Mother

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard him say
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true
But, God, can you be a mother
When your baby's not with you?

Yes, you can he replied
With confidence in his voice
I give many women babies
When they leave it is not their choice
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for the day
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God
I want my baby here

He took a breath
and cleared his throat
And then I saw a tear
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear
My mummy loved me so much
I got to come straight here
I feel so lucky to have a Mum who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly
My Mummy set me free.

I miss my Mummy oh so much
But I visit her each day
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear
Mummy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I am here"

So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are okay
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay
They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lessons are through
And on the day you come home
they'll be at the gates for you

So now you see
What makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth
May not realize
Until their time is done
Remember all the love you have
And know that you are
A Special Mum

DH had to leave just after the burial, as his dad had an accident in the tractor, thatnkfully he is OK, but the tractor isnt. But MIL had the boys.

Hello All how are you Babysteppers doing?

FLYing has been minimal today. Ed has been off again, he had a rough night and slept in our bed as he didn't want to be alone (Awwh) I got up at the usual time but Ed slept til 8.30. At least I did my morning routines in calm and quiet, made lunchboxes too.

Took advantage of the lovely weather and tidied round the front garden today, trimmed back the prickly rosebush too (ow, ow!)

Then I went for a haircut and then went to the school to see how the PTA were doing at the school fair. Got roped in to running the book stall Ah well, got some cheap cheap books so that's OK.

Home then try to catch up with the housework. Had to rebuild the front room as the railroad were building again

Sircharlie Ed has missed out on your book tonight as he has been quite rude to me . He's not getting 'Aliens love underpants' either and he loves the 'Pingy pants elastic' line. I find this site very useful, spend too much time and cash there . BTW, Ed asked if you were Charlie's mum !

Still have prickles from the bush in my fingers No wonder it only gets pruned when I think it's going to spike passing pedestrians

for Mad...I havn't braved reading the poem yet - but I will later.

Oops posted on the wrong thread earlier

Here was my post

Hi all.

at all the poorlies and of course TMH. I hope all goes as well as possible this afternoon.

Did no-one like my list yesterday? Well today I have added a 4th thing, look:

1. 2 minute hotspot (am going to do bottom of stairs today)
2. Put DD3's toys away as soon sa she has gone to bed
3. Shine my sink
4. Get out tomorrow's clothes.

I have a hectic afternoon...somehow I have teh following to fit in...

1. collect DTDs from school
2. Either go to after achool fetey thing or convince DTDs not to...
3. Go to library to return books and try and find "the boy who cried wolf" for DTD1...
4. Go to butchers to get something for tea
5. Go to Tescos to get 2 birthday pressies and 2 birthday cards
6. whilst in tesco look for some red/green hairspray for a fancy dress party on Sunday

Before all that I have some work work to do from home, so I best get on with it so I can do my hotspot before school run or it won't get done...

...tis a busy one for me...

Well I have done all ofthe above except the hotspot....

And now I have been to Tesco I have some OvenPride so will attempt to attack oven at W/E.

off to do my dishes i will be happt to work all weekedn maybe dh will do it for me yeah rite

Hi everyone, good evening!
TMH - I just wanted to say that poem was lovely - I was crying reading it.sad Sorry!
This is day 5 for me, so it is Hotspots, I have definitely got one in my kitchen where the random post gets left, and lots of paper.
In fact paper is one of my biggest bugbears, it just grows everywhere.
The negative thoughts thing yesterday, didn't go well due to being out at a children's farm thingy and then home to the folks for tea. It's not easy to write down negative thoughts when you are in a softplay or driving down the motorway.
The hotspots things sounds good, do you just write a list of hotspots and do them everyday, is that the idea?
I just want to watch TV and eat chocolate, not do hotspots with a timer. shockgrin
Working tomorrow as well, so not sure what will be done other than the basics, but I still have five thousand babysteps to go, so I can always do two on Sunday. grin

Last link for me today...am just had to report back.

Just put my oven shelves and glass door in my oven pride bag...and by the time I had pasted the stuff onto my oven they were clean!!!!

Well, I am over exajerating a bit...but the selves are nearly clean and my previously opaque glass...well I can now read newsprint through it so it can't be bad can it? Shall leave them overnight before giving them a good rinse...

Oh and my sink isn't shiny (but my oven shelves are on it)
DD3s toys aren't put away
My hotspot idn't get done

BUT can I be forgiven as I have done my oven???

Weekend
