i *hate* this visiting lark

[misdee]

all i want to do on a sunday is wehat we used to do, clear up and go to the boot sale, maybe go out for dinner or cook a huge roast for my family.

but now my sundays are visting days at the hospital. i cant recall the last time i cooked a roast, or took the kids out to have fun at the weekend. ihate feelingm resentful of visiting Peter, i do want to see him, but it takes such a large chunk out of my days.

and now dd1 is making him a card, and asked me to write 'when you are better can you run with me?' for her to copy into it.

I am virtually holding your hand {{{{hugs}}}

and mil is ill with the stress of it, and has been perscribed tamazpan(sp??) but still wont take a break or tell peter.

Would it upset Peter if you took one Sunday in five or six off ??

That way you could visit him and have a "normal" Sunday for the girls.

Don't forget, when you get your licence, you will be able to pop there and back and not have to be there for the length of time your MIL wants to be there.

but

Peter is doing much much better and is possibly going back on the Transplant list

you see that faint glimmer in the distance, Misdee .. its dim but you can just about make it out .. that's the light at the end of the tunnel sweetie .. and you're getting closer and closer

when i pass my test i'll be going up earlier in the day. i'd be out the door now to be there for 9am. atm we dont leave till 2pm, get back 7-8pm.

Your story really makes my life seem sooooo easy. I don't know how you manage to hold it together at all. I really admire you misdee, I really hope it gets better for you soon.

dd2 is producing green snot. she has till 1pm for it to dry and stop dribbling or else we cant go in.

was told 'clear snot fine, green snot not'.

uh-oh..... i hope it isnt what jess has just had

the kids have been ill pretty much the last 2 weeks. coughs colds and tummy bugs. 1st few weeks back at school always does this to them.

well we been to the hospital. dd2 stayed in car with mil asshe was asleep, and i went in for about 30mins, then i had to wake dd2 up and we went to the canteen whilst mil went in.
