Back from pickup, already my patience is exhausted oh dear not a good start to hols
delivered 6 bouquets which I foolishly made up myself thinking cheaper but in fact manky looking, 3 bottles of sparkly which all the teachers who got bouquets looked deeply wrestled with PE kits and Easter baskets filled with loose paper.
Anyway we are home safe and sound, it's a beautiful day, just going to bustle around calmly now. We will go to the park later after divesting ourselves of possessions.

swanriver · 03/04/2009 13:53

oh didn't put the bunnies in, really wanted to be an angry bunny
There is complete silence, now, ds1 is humming gently, ds2 is brmm brumming tohimself and dd will be back I'm sure but has disappeared upstairs for now
Ds2 is now catching up with his reward stickers!

TheMadHouse · 03/04/2009 14:32

Afternoon ladies.

I am a , feeling very sorry for myself. The tables are making me feel sick, even the sun isnt cheering me up.

DS1 wants to plan an egg hunt and I havnt got the energy or even nounce to think about it and have spent the last hour crying in the bath.

I dont want to upset DH anymore - as it has been so tough on him.

I look a mess - I have gaping holes in my wounds. a stoma bag on one side and just look really pityful. I feel bad that he has to live with me like this foever, as they is no way on this earth that I am ever going to have a reconstruction after this experiance.

Sorry to be all self pitying, dont know where else to out my feelings and I am afriad if I keep them in I will spiral further down the hole.

TheMadHouse · 03/04/2009 14:35

oh yes and DH and DS2 are at the GP's as he has a mysterous itchy rash all over

grouchyoscar · 03/04/2009 14:35

Hello you lot

EHM thank you for the thread and always remembering me and Ed. You are truly lovely and I hope you and DP are well and Ellie is on the mend.

TMH What a nightmare for you It's sodding awful, I just can't fathom why it should happen to you. Much love to you and yours and DO NOTHING or I'll be up with wolf before you can put that broom away. Xmas Grin

wendy get well soon, read the bottom of my message to mad, OK!

Wolf Are you happy being the get me there driver? Hope DP is on the mend, DS is OK and you're not too frazzled

Bianca An MRI is nothing to worry about TBH. I remember the noises of the machinery but it sounded like a Nine Inch Nails track so I was OK with that. Mine was 12 years ago so I imagine it's even better now! All the best with it.

Hello and to Sage Scatty Luda Prof Dyls Greyskull Swan* Galen and Tort

Just grabbing a quick break as I've been at school. Ed is going for a birthday tea tonight so I'm going to blitz the house.

Anon fair maidens

Bianca Wow...well done for doing the appointment! What short notice!!! Hope everything goes ok

Hiya tort hope the headache goes soon xx

Hello to everyone...hope you are all ok x

Ludaloo · 03/04/2009 14:45

Oh...Mad I think you have every right to feel sorry for yourself hunny I really hope things start to improve for you... you have been through an extraordinary amount of sh1t lately. I still think you are coping amazingly....chin up xxxx

swanriver · 03/04/2009 14:59

TMH, we have been selfpitying on this thread about much lesser things than you are enduring. I don't think anyone could POSSIBLY think you are selfpitying.

swanriver · 03/04/2009 15:06

imo crying helps an awful lot, he knows it's not his fault you are crying. You just feel so powerless, things just keep happening like some terrible crushing machine.
But you are still you, you are still yourself.

EHM · 03/04/2009 16:21

TMH you have every right to feel sorry for yourself. You've been to hell & back. Always know that you have everybody on this thread supporting you & listening. Your dh will love you regardless you are still wonderful you. You have my number if you want to call for a chat, or I am happy to call you even if its just to listen.Wish I was closure so I could help. I also echo what wolf & grouchy said I hunt you down it you as much as think about doing any house work. I am sending gentle, germ free hugs from me & ellie. My sister also send her best wishes today.xxxxx

Headache has eased a bit. Feeling brighter now that school hols are here. Had enough of constantly running here there and everywhere.

TMH Sending you big (( hugs )). I can understand you not wanting more surgery but in time you may feel different. Anyway, your DH will still love you the same.You are still the same person. And i echo what others have said, NO HOUSEWORK! Hope whatever the rash is clears up quickly.

DS's are here tonight for a change. XP is having them tomorrow night-Sunday to take them to a local stunt show event.(I made them ask him to take them lol. He never takes them anywhere.)

All 4 are currently playing very nicely together upstairs.

galen · 03/04/2009 18:38

Evening al
mad you have had such a rough time of it lately - its no wonder you are feeling down. Things will improve - although right now it may be hard to imagine. Be gentle on your self. It is such early days - you will heal - give yourself time
Can you email me your address? I have some spare Easter Egg hunt stuff I can send you,( I bought a load then so did my sister for combined hunt!)then all your DH has to do is add some choccie eggs and distribute. If you're up to it email me your address at louisem dot egan at yahoo dot co dot uk
Hang in there - it will be alright.

swan hope your afternoon improved

tort hope your evening goes smoothly with the 4

Oh gosh ...forgot the rest so sorry - but Hi! everyone!

Ds a bit grumpy again, and dd needing lots of barbie playing time...
Also made florentines and rocky road clusters to put in Easter gift bags as last minute pressie for teachers.... (and practising gift bags for guests on Easter Sun LOL)
Enjoyed late emerging sunshine and lots of garden time after school
Other than not not achieved much....washing needs tackling... upstairs V bad... downsatirs not too bad...

BUT now sipping chilled glass of wine and leaving rest till tomorrow

DH putting littlies to bed tonight YAY - then pizza and wine for us
See you all tomorrow

BiancaCastafiore · 03/04/2009 19:27

Woohoo! I'm home safe and sound - the drive was OK and the scan was pretty awful but I made it through

TMH lots of love and best wishes to you x x You're such a brave lady x Take lots of care and let your feelings out here anytime you need to x

Tortoise · 03/04/2009 19:38

Yay well done Bianca

Wolfcub · 03/04/2009 19:42

mad what are friends for! I'd be more worried if you weren't feeling sad an low after everything that has happened. Come on here and vent as much as you like, call us or we'll call you, e-mail us talk about crap tv or big ass emotional stuff, either way we're here and when you're feeling up to it we could come and visit. You have every right to cry and be sad bottling it all up is far more dangerous. I'm sending you a virtual Wolfy cuddle and some serious heal faster vibes.

grouchy I am happy to drive to either mad or wendy's if they dare to disobey your no cleaning/sit still and behave instructions!

Wolfcub · 03/04/2009 19:43

bianca well done good on you for grasping the nettle so to speak!

swanriver · 03/04/2009 19:51

Had a lovely afternoon
playroom's looking clean and tidy for once
children have been scootering
back door is wide open, birdsong in distance
No worries really except library books I should have returned.

You did it Bianca

As usual Galen you amaze me...florentines
we had a lovely passion play at school too, ds ended up with two parts at last minute as one disciple didn't show up on night. I felt rather peeved in afternoon when I saw it, that he didn't get to sing Peter in their production (yr 4)don't know on what criteria they selected but Dh said he did very well in his last minute role

Now to cook some supper.

TheMadHouse · 03/04/2009 23:50

Thanks again - I am OK went for a walk with Dh and the boys and then BIL dropped off a wheelchair that DH had arranged behind my back, so we can go out and I dont need to worry about being bashed or getting too tired.

I am lucky to be here to spend time with my family and will try to focus on all the good things and friends I am blessed with.

DS2 is fine - viral rash again

EHM · 04/04/2009 08:18
