Aw bobsmum, that sounds a bit confusing, prayers for its 'good outcome'

Well ds sick, (yukky) am physically shaking with nerves - emetophobic, prayers for his recovery over night and sorry another prayer that other twin doesn't get it!!!!! quick sooz put hypnosis CD on to relax - I can hear him moaning,

Gotta Go!!!!!!!!! {{{{{{{yelling dh for help}}}}}}}}

Was DH ok, Soooooz?? How is DS? Praying for his recovery asap and no sick between now and then. {{{{hugs}}}

Praying for your DD too, Rosey - How is she today??

I am tiiiired, but ok ......

Bobsmum - Hoping all the stuff with the car is much more straight-forward than you envisage - Praise God your aches and pains are gone I am sorry you are going through this honey - Let us know what happens when you speak to the Police. {{{{hug}}} {{{hug}}} {{{{hug}}}} Praying sickness eases soon too, how many weeks now? Praying for new car and DH's job too - God provision is amazing - Sounds like you are having a rough time of it atm - know the feeling. xxxxxx

Sorry you are not PG, shreksmissus Glad that you can see light at the end of the tunnel re: DH's long hours though - soon be over!

DD's calling me, gotta buzzzzz .....

Bobsmum, it may not be as bad as you fear, am praying this is the case. It may just be the formalities to get over and done with. The fact that one officer thought it was over and done with is a good sign, I think. My sister had an accident last year, where she lost control on a road, and ended up rolling her car down a bank and landing upside down near a railway track! Thank God she was wasn't hurt (and thank God for you too!), she just received "a caution", and a bill for the repair of the fence.

Also praying you get enough money for the car, that you can afford another one. When a car's been badly damaged, it never feels the same after a repair, so its for the best I think.

Also praying for a job for your DH...

Sooz, hugs darling. How is DS this morning? Praying his sickness has stopped and you were able to cope OK.

Hi Shreksmissus, good to see you back. We've been a bit verbose on here haven't we?

CD sweetheart, how are you all this morning? How does DH feel about this? Praying for you all.

How is everyone else?

Hello! Please pray - I'm feeling rubbish this morning. This week has just been too busy for me and I feel like I'm far too overloaded .

I'm not sure if we can afford for me to give up work; thinking about the money side of it, it'd put us under a lot of strain financially and I'd feel so guilty about putting us in that position. Every day I feel like I'm totally task-focused, just going from one job to the next (hence my timetable). There must be an answer, I just don't know what it is.

Praying for you Bobsmum, that the police will be kind and that things will be sorted out as clearly and quickly as poss.

Rosey - prayers for you to feel 'less rubbish' and that you find the age old 'time'

Bobsmum - prayers for your situation to resolve with the accident, fab you are not hurt!!!

CD - morning sweetie, how are you?

Mary - thank you again for your support, ds on the road to recovery, but my belly isn't!

We had an uneventful night apart from dd getting up 6 times thought she was going to be sick awell. Emetophobia has struck good and proper, my anxiety levels are sky high, dh just gone to work, I'm all alone, nobody to call, and worried sick! I have an anxiety runny tummy (sorry can't spell diarrhea)

Praise God the twins seem ok atm, its a lovely sunny day, might just get the cycle carrier out and get out to avoid being in by myself.

Sorry self absorbed 'AGAIN'

Why can't I be a normal caring mummy when my children are sick?

you do care .suzy
i have had times willing ds to calm and settle, mainly for his own sake, but also for selfish reasons, eg my own tiredness.
we are just human, and we all do the best we can

Hi ladies

I apologise in advance for the self absorbed thread

Ok i need your help. I am not a church go-er neither do i pray regularly, but i need your guidance and prayers (if i could impose on your day for a second ot two. You see to cut a long story short i have been actively ttc for over 2 years and its got to the point where i'm not sure if i will ever see the light at the end of this neverending tunnel . I do have 2 wonderful little boys that i adore and who light up my heart, but cannot get rid of the yearning desire. I have tried all the medical methods to no avail so i am turning to the person i probably should have gone to in the first place....

That was of course supposed to say post and not thread

Hi Pepperpots. Of course I will pray for you - I know the desire for a baby can be so overwhelming, so don't worry about being self-absorbed! If it helps at all, the Bible is full of stories of women who were unable to conceive and against all odds God heard their prayers and gave them the baby they so desperately longed for. So you're in good company and I pray that God hears the desire of your heart just as he heard theirs.

Thank you for your speedy reply
It means a lot xx

Welcome pepperpots, please don't worry about being self absorbed, just read my selfish posts below.

I fully sympathise with your desire to have a baby, I went to hell and back to have a baby (pardon the pun, wasn't intended) waited 12 years, I asked god many times for help, as you know god has no time limits and I was blessed eventually, obviously when the time was right, I really believe in whats to be will be, maybe our life is mapped out already?????????

Tell me to mind my own business, but have you gone down all the routes to aid conception, there are soooooo many of them, I know ours cost an arm and a leg!!!!!

Prayers for your patience and Gods willing it won't be long

{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} to Rosey - I know exactly how you feel about potential money worries!! Give it to God sweetie - how are you feeling now??

{{{{[hugs}}}}} Sooz - You are a FANTASTIC mummy, gorgeous - You just have a phobia (and a perfectly rational one imho) tis all - Praying DD gets better soon and isn't sick! xxxxxx

Glad your mum's op went ok, Podmog - Praying they find a bed () for your MIL - Grrrr, bloomin' bed / staff shortages in the NHS. Grrrrrr! Praying for the church situation honey - I am so sorry you are expeiriencing all of this, not how church should be at all, so hard for you and your lovely family. {{{{{hugs}}}}

Hi Mary! You asked how DH is handling our financial ruin difficulties - NOT GOOD He is really stressed and keeps crying, poor love He takes it all much harder than I do, saying he isn't providing enough for his family etc He is a wonderful man and his is doing his very best.

Pepperpots -{{{{{[hugs}}}}}} Lots and lots of prayers, sooooooo glad you felt you could come here - Totally understand that "yearning" .......

Hi Soooooooooooooooooz!

BOING!!

Podmog, I'm sorry to hear of this small minded person, you shouldn't have to avoid toddler groups you poor thing, prayers for you not to feel isolated in this matter and that god will work for you positively, sometimes it makes you think why!!!!!!!

Has this person bad mouthed you to all and sundry?

Prayers for god to help this person realise what an awful thing they are doing.

ZipadiSuzy I am currently under a gynae facing the idea of chlomid as i have stopped ovualting. TBH when i found out this was happening i felt almost like i was being punished.... i feel a bit silly when i think of how i used to think i must have been a bad mother and thats why i wasn't 'allowed' another iyswim?
CaptainD Thank you also. The welcome you feel here is astounding

Captain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hellloooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God the twins are ok atm - finlay seems to be recovering. I just feel useless and out of control when they are ill. Thank you God for sending my mum round this morning.

I'm more worried for you poor love!!!! especially dh feeling so sad, my prayers are flying down south quick sharply. Please email me for help, I owe you one, you helped when my dh was made redundant in June!

pepperpots - don't know if this is the right thread for this conversation, but god knows already so hey, but I went through the menopause when I was 16, so I stopped ovulating but had successful egg donation, IVF, so good luck and keep praying and hoping

lol Thanks CD - my Grandad (ever the stubborn man) is still hanging on in there - although I think it is going to be this illness that gets him it actually wouldn't surprise me if he was still around for Christmas 2008 .

Yes DH and I are definitely getting it on much better (may be TMI for some - but twice this week (even before our marriage nearly crumbled that would have been extremely good going) would probably have been more - but AF arrived...........

pepperpots - I remember posting on this thread not long ago, how I was feeling I had disobeyed god by having children when he had made me the way I am, but somebody on here put me right, so please don't feel its a punishment!

QofQ - OOOOOOOOH congratulations, keep it up! (whoops)
