another night with screams and company. I have woken up with a dead arrm where a head has been resting on it for severrral hours.

PositiveAttitude · 25/05/2012 07:35

I had wanted to add that something really jumped out from my Bible reading this morning. Just found it really encouraging with what we are off to do:

"Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and he will give a reward to the lender" - proverbs 19: 17

What a lovely thought!! I am on my 4th time of doing this Bible in a year, but have never noticed that before.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 25/05/2012 07:35

hoping I can can wrestle small boyinto trousers without his tights this morning and that i do not have to car him downstairs in his pants and t shirt again. I am going to need lots of patience. I am going to need lots of ppatience PATIENCE WOMAN PATIENCE.

FriendofDorothy · 25/05/2012 07:37

I have my scan today. Hoping and praying. Many thanks for your prayers.

MaryBS · 25/05/2012 08:44

Quick pop by to offer up prayers for FoD today...

SESthebrave · 25/05/2012 09:01

FoD - praying...

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 25/05/2012 09:18

Great quote PA - I've never come across that one before either ...

Very inspiring and so true !

Thinking of you FoD x

DutchOma · 25/05/2012 09:41

PA Ha. Grin Today is another day of trying, you might just manage one day of relaxation.
FoD praying. Is your intended visitor who I think it is? If so, his health would not hold up to the hygiene standards, surely.

DutchOma · 25/05/2012 09:42

That last sentence was meant for PA, not F0D of course.

PositiveAttitude · 25/05/2012 12:24

Yes DO it is him!!! Shock I agree, he can't do a decent days work without telling everyone about his various ailments. Good grief, he would not stand the heat, jet lag etc. As long as he doesn't make it out to us and then fall ill!!! Goodness knows how long he would be stuck with us. It has taken 3 weeks off sick to get over a cold!

DutchOma · 25/05/2012 13:00

You will have to send the the address of the one luxury hotel where you are and say that you could not possibly put him up as there simply isn't the room.

FriendofDorothy · 25/05/2012 13:12

Scan was fine. Baby was lovely and wriggly. I feel a bit better now. Thanks for all your prayers :)

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 25/05/2012 13:41

great fod.

PositiveAttitude · 25/05/2012 14:02

Fantastic answer to prayer FOD. Hope you can now relax and enjoy being pregnant.

FriendofDorothy · 25/05/2012 14:03

I hope so. I am just praying that nothing else happens now.

MaryBS · 25/05/2012 14:04

Thank God, FoD :)

Tuo · 25/05/2012 14:52

Oh FoD, that is good news. I have been thinking of you and am so glad that your bean is lovely and wriggly. Prayers for no more worries from now on.

weegiemum · 25/05/2012 16:34

Great news, a real answer to prayer!

amberlight · 25/05/2012 17:10

Phew, FoD...

Here, tearful and exhausted after yesterday and operation, which isn't like me. It's been such a horrible few weeks, I think I'm just thoroughly run down.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 25/05/2012 17:33

oh heck. I am having trouble with the jubilee costume. i think i may try to finish the space one first.

DutchOma · 25/05/2012 21:04

So pleased FoD, thinks for updating.
I think you are right BES, do what you can and leave what you can't do yet till later.

lostmywellies · 25/05/2012 21:17

Praying for a restful weekend for Amber, peace and joy after today's happy scan for FoD, speedy sewing with super results for bes.

Am losing it completely here. Low energy all day (ok, all week), everything such a struggle and no sign of a break on the horizon - quite the opposite, in fact, as I need to face up to the fact we're moving house soon. DS not listening to me and picking fights continually - laughingly disobedient, real who-cares attitude. Just like dh was as a child, so I'm told but wasn't told before I had children, when it might've been useful information for planning. And then I have just endured half an hour of row with dd1 (who is all of 8yo), because I obviously don't like her as much as the others and it's my fault she can't sleep blah blah. Try to speak firmly and tell her her behaviour's unacceptable and get accused of shouting. Oh, I am so tired. Felt like shouting and throwing things when I got away, though. If I can't manage this, how on earth am I ever going to cope with the teenage years? :(

jan2011 · 26/05/2012 06:57

amber and lost reading and praying that you find Gods strength today and comfort help and healing so sorry for the hard times youre going through right now
great news FodD
prayers for all as i read through

thejaffacakesareonme · 26/05/2012 09:08

FoD - congratulations!

Lost - poor you, is DH around at the moment to give you a break at all?

Amber - hope your weather is as good as ours and you can get outside and relax.

BES - could you simplify the outfits at all? There are bound to be lazy people (like me) that don't go to half the effort. DS1 has a jubilee party soon and if he's lucky I'll think about his outfit the night before.

We're off to our school fair and separate church fair this morning followed by a friends' bbq this pm in glorious sunshine. Happy days!

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 26/05/2012 09:56

jaffa, i tried. she is adament and no form of persuasion will shift her. also, I spent quite a bit on material and told her hat I was going to do before I found out the machine was incomplete. I am off up to mums today to use her machine and to see them after their illness. they are still not well. so it may be a case of bringing the machine back to finish the jubilee costume at home. I hopefully will have saturday, sunday and mionday night and morning. ds is fine playing while i hand sew so that gives me time to do some then. I am off on holiday soon as well and need to start packing and organising. that will start in ernest (sp) on tuesday.

thank goodness i have satuady, sunday monday and tuesday to recover from holiday before they go back to school!(i shall book my nervous breakdown for that weekend!)
