Morning ladies.

I'm a walking zombie today and have to drive dad back to the airport at 1pm and then Apollo has a PT appointment at 3pm. And I'm sure I have another appointment I'm forgetting...

So Angry. DH has gone AWOL. He was supposed to be home after work to pick up the DC but the PITA is nowhere to be found. He's not answering his phone/texts, his work said he left on time, I called his parents and his friends and no-one has heard from him. I am furious! Angry Angry. Of all bleeding days to drop of the face of the planet and he chose today, so I've had to pick up the DC with two very miserable 5mos, was late making dinner, then burnt the dinner, the dog hasn't been walked so he's walking aimlessly in the garden, howling at every bloody noise and the kids have all been unsettled because DH isn't here to do bath time like always, I did end up missing a 4pm appointment with Doctors about K's ears and then to top it off the deep freezer has broken so we need a new one. And breathe...

Evening girls, Welcome Greenish - was there ever a plot in the first place!??
Trips & Shabs - try to get some sleep girlie's, I am taking nytol herbal at the moment to sleep a little better, is it because we have got to that certain age that sleeping has become such acproblem, or is it just the pressures of life?
Soks - I hope the appointment went ok, and you are getting the help you need.
Mama - glad blue A is home, and so glad you are waiting to have #7!
Chops and Ruby - hope you are ok.
I am doing extra hours as my colleague who was pregnant felt unwell on Fri, went into premature labour on Sat, and had her little boy Sunday, he is only 1lb 8oz, but apparently a little fighter.
I am covering some of her shifts, but I have said I can only do a few, as my ankle just can't cope and it is swelling very badly. Also, dh is struggling with looking after the boys.

morning girls x

glad your dh got home ok, mama, hope he is suitably contrite!

bubby, are you icing it? Hope it settles down soon. Please try to stop working so hard!

Morning ladies, what a tiny baby Bubbs, its so tough for the parents, so hope he will be ok. Off to school this morning, last week saw me running around the school field with 30 five year olds, great fun! Its lovely when you walk in and they are all so pleased to see you, unlike home :o

Morning ladies.

I woke up this morning with breakfast made and a note written on German tucked into Apollo's diaper...

^My beautiful, pissed off wife,
I'm sorry for yesterday's worry and chaos, my only excuse is that time ran away with me and no word of a a lie I left my phone in the car and stupidly didn't ask to borrow a phone. You may want to hit me with one of Kvothe's toys tonight and I would deserve it (but I would still bitch about how much it would hurt so - don't throw toys!) As for where I was, I was at the tattoo palor designing my next tattoo and lost track of time. I'm sorry... I love you!

Your very misbehaved but adorable husband."^

I still want to punch him Hmm

Bubs - that's teeny tiny baby, 1oz lighter than Apollo was. Hoping for the best for the little boy and his parents. It's a very overwhelming situation.

Trips - rather you than me! Grin

Morning, Shabs, Chops, Ruby! :)

mama- nice note and apology, but I agree that you should still be angry, expecially as you have only just got blueA home, how could he becso selfish!

We had row - our first in ages! And it felt so good to shout at him. It's now resolved and put in the past but he's on supper & night time duty until the weekend. Still annoyed but no point holding a grudge. He's already up with blueA who's throwing a massive tantrum Grin.

Oh bubs that is a teeny baby. Hope you don't overdo it with your ankle.

Mama - sounds like you've got quite a lot of your chest maybe. Hopefully dh won't be so thoughtless in future.

All good here. Twins are being ultra cute and cuddly at the minute.

I talk to DH a lot about how I'm feeling but I just withhold stuff so it was a massive relief to just get it all off my chest how at times I feel like my head is above water, how it seems to be one problem after the other and it's wearing me d

I talk to DH a lot about how I'm feeling but I just withhold stuff so it was a massive relief to just get it all off my chest how at times I feel like my head is above water, how it seems to be one problem after the other and it's wearing me down, that I'm rushed off my feet and though he does help out a lot home but what I don't need is him going AWOL when plans are in place, because I need a frickin' break too.

Today, I am determined to get things done; I need to wait for the freezer delivery, take K to his Dr appt, call blueA's PM technician to do a testing, take the dog out, prepare some batch cooking, look at the list of houses the realtor sent over, take kids to a promised park trip, call my brother, book his flights for Chrsitmas... I think that's it for the day Hmm

Damn stupid posting before I've finished and posting without me touching! I hate touch screen phones.

Anyway, I've found a class. Not absolute on it yet - the woman on phone was a bit rude so gunna still look around but she is starting to get bored at home so gunna keep looking :)

I'm so sorry your friend has lost her husband. Sending peaceful thoughts her way.

Have spent the afternoon in the garden with the twins. They helped plant the runner beans. By help I mean climb in my raised veg garden and run around, whack each other, themselves and I with bamboo canes and try to dig the seeds I planted back up. As well as play football, scramble in the gravel round my bay tree pot and jam themselves together in the cosy coupe.

triplets · 25/05/2014 22:14

Hello Ruby..........such a sad day, cannot stop thinking about them all, its so heart breaking............ xx
