D'y ever wonder where the time goes....

[bubby64]

...When juggling kids, family, home, school and work?
I know, I know, feeble effort, but I really don't know where my year has gone! Its towards the end of February now, past half term for most of us, and I don't even seem to have blinked!
We were celebrating DH's birthday today, and I'm sure he had his last one only a couple of months ago, or thats how it seems to me.
As for the years since my 2 were born, well, they seem to have gone in a blink of an eye.

Just typed message and lost it...........morning girls. Cant face doing it all again. Dreading todays meeting at the hospital, feel eaten with guilt that this could all have been avoided. Life is going to change once again, because I dont know how she will cope at 84. I will not be able to look after her full time, and I know she will want me to. H was very withdrawn when I got home last night. His day was not his own as he had to be here for the kids, that was made plain. I feel split in two, he has his own big op next Weds. I feel worn out with it all. At least the sun is shining on me today. xx

Morning chops, glad you have the sun too:)

Trips, please stop blaming yourself, it isn't your fault. xx

I sometimes think your family really should appreciate you a bit more!

Dont we woman always carry the guilt? Chops I know that if this had been my dad I would have been at every appt with him. I didnt go with her until it was too late, I do love her, but have always felt she was closer to the boys than me, she looked so frail y/day that it shocked me. I will cope, I have too but I feel sickened inside. Always something to struggle through, it started in 94 and goes on. Sorry girls.........sorry. xxxx

Stop apologising, and have a nice cup of tea.

You always speak of your mum being so independent too, and you aren't her only child. It isn't all your responsibility. You are doing what you can now. xx

Morning girls xx

Oh Trips Im sorry everything is crap for you at the moment. I wish, with all my heart, that so many miles didn't separate us - I would willingly help. I know this is probably a daft question but is there anything I can do to help? Anything at all?

My Mum didn't remember it was Matts anniversary this week.....she still hasn't first time in 20 years I didn't get a phone call or anything.

Hi........recieved the worst news this afternoon. The surgeons came to see Mum and us at 3pm. She has a severely diseased aorta, this has caused the loss of blood supply to her legs. There is a very slim chance they can try to do a by-pass, it will be high risk surgery. If they can, then the blood will be directed to her right leg, the left leg will be amputated. The final decsion is to be made on Weds, same day H is having his lung op.I went tp pieces at the hospital, my brothers telling me matter of factly it has got to be done, I have to face it one day at a time. I just felt so angry with them and burst into tears and told them I have been doing that for 18 years. They said "we know" and I told them they dont, they dont know the half. I know they are as upset as me, but its like hearing awful words all over again My poor poor Mum. xxx

Shabs.........she carries Matty in her heart xx

Goodmorning girls xx

Morning girls xx

Oh Trips I am so so sorry to hear about your Mum. I cant imagine how you feel. I am holding you close across the miles xxxx

Morning xx

Had to watch City on MOTD again - just to make sure I hadn't dreamt it

Hi Trips- sorry I haven't been here for you over the weekend, but was working my 2nd job, and didn't get much "me" time. Heart rending news about your Mum, and, no, your brothers probably dont really understand, but they really need to help you out now and take some of the burden off your shoulders. Men can be very matter of fact in order to get through things, where us ladies tend to wear our hearts on our sleeves. These are for you
This week is the anniversary of the loss of my 2 little girls, and I very much doubt that R will remember, or if he does, he wont say anything.
Also my 2 boys have their first SAT exam today. I had one crying his eyes out and the other feeling so sick he couldnt eat. I had to ring work and say I would be late coming to work, as I couldnt send them to my childminder like that-when we got to school, there were 4 other mums from their classmates who had also had simular problems with their kids. Its not fair they have so much pressure put on them when they are so relativly young, and for no real purpose apart from the schools league table position!

oh triplets I am so very sorry you are going through this 'alone' apart from us of course

I am trying really hard to get an umbrella fold triple pushchair for a teacher at school and though there are lots about on ebay i can't work out the courier and they are all so far away

Harrow, Middlesex
Biggin Hill, Kent
Crawley, West Sussex
Sevenoakes, Kent
Middleborough

I am in CORNWALL why can't one be close to here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I officially hate that God bloke I really do...BUT I am praying for Daniel and all his family.

Update from Estar on facebook - ' Daniel has worsened very quickly overnight. Still asking for a miracle but holding our hands open for him to be released.'

Just read that too Shabs, I have suddenly gone cold

I dont get this life - its a pile of shite.

Oh no!! Poor Estar. will keep up the prayers for him and also for you Trips.

Wanted to go into Manchester to see the 'Manchester City parade' tonight...wont be going....kind of puts it all into perspective really.

:( :(

Ooogs, what is the problem, exactly? There are couriers on eBay that offer pram services. I don't know if parcels2go would take it. I've posted a bike before, so surely a pram would be quite easy?

If it is the sellers not willing to courier, I don't mine picking up and waiting in for a courier for you if any come up around me. I'm in Ascot but actually go to harrow way fairly regularly!

Cheers chops, the Harrow one has just finished for silly money!!!!

I didn't know about the courier service on eBay, off to have a look

I have just found [[http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TWIN-TRIPLET-COURIER-FOR-ALL-OBABY-PRAMS-/370476759376?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item564222b950#ht_1658wt_689

When I posted my old bike, it was parcel force , might be worth looking into. It as a very big bike!

Shame about the harrow one - I wa only there yesterday!
