I know, but I need her to sleep in the mornings!!

Don't feel pathetic. We all know how grinding non-stop crying can be. I normally end up screaming at DD and then crying too. I wouldn't recommend that as a method for soothing a crying baby though.

I'm off for a bath soon before I have to pick up DD from nursery. You could always try having a bath with her if she used to like that as little baby. It might distract her and she still isn't too old to do skin-to-skin contact with.

I know how you feel about dropping the morning nap. DD has dropped hers most of the time now and that can be difficult whilst pg and sleepy!

Have you tried giving her a massage. I gave DD a massage for the first time in ages the other day and just used the same technique as baby massage. DD loved it!

CD Do the pushchair round the block thing. It gets you fresh air and might get her to sleep. Then you can ark her in the hall and have some you time.

Thanks all, will have to go & get DD1 from school soon anyway, so guess that's it. I feel terible leaving her crying

thanks for your prayers. Bible study went ok, I think. Have decided am going to do something nice with just DS tonight, apologise to him for being a scrsaming harridan and try to explain that he needs to practice if he wants to improve so he can have the fun of playing with other people. I don't care about him doing grades at all, just want playing to be fun and satisfying - or he can give up if he hates it, but he doesn't, he wants to play, but just not practice if he gets stuck.

Enough of me

praying that P settles CD - wish I was much closer, would willingly walk her round the block for you.

MM - praying for you too.

much love xx

You ae all so kind Think doing something nice with DS is good idea Panda; but don't be [blush - we've all been there, done that I am sure You are a great mummy

Trying to be positive; but feeling so sick inside. Off to finish lunch, then pick up DD2, drop DD3 off at nursery and go swimming ....

Am in a state of shock.

Didn't come home before dropping kids at youth group, took them to McD's for tea (shoot me!).

DH phoned to say where are you I'm worried!!! Get home and he has loaded the dishwasher, finished washing up by hand, AND made an apple crumble with apples from the garden!

Maybe he really will come on monday night for counseling.

But, at the moment, I can say, God is good, as I really had a soggy pillow over the whole thing at lunchtime.

Sure. Double portion of sleep tonight Lord. (And no napping and missed stops on the train!)

SHR

Good morning and God bless all.

SHR!! God is at work

Praying for you today RJA. xx

Prayer needed here. Up all night with P - seems it's not just morning naps she's adverse to Just feeling like the bottom's fallen out of my world. Sorry to sound so dramatic; but so low

Definitely Cry-sis then this morning, darling CD. You need your bottom, in your world or out of it .
Prayers for RJA on her trip to London and for SHR in her relationship with dh. For MM too, prayers much needed in that situation, don't ask, just do a Nemo on it.

dh is home, in a lot of pain, but coping
has to wear a sling for 6 weeks , slept , or rather didnt sleep , on the sofa , as he wanted to be sat up
hopefully that wont last for 6 weeks
has to have weekly physio, and a cocktail of drugs
i think hes worried about 6 weeks of my cooking, as he does all the cooking normally , and he knows i wont cook meat. i think hell be sneaking out for burgers in a couple of days

Praying for a swift recovery mufti - glad it is all over now Thinking ofy ou & praying for you as you get through this difficult recovery period. xx

thank you , he is good spirits anyway, i think hes glad we are here. he was saying the nurses were asking people who they had at home,and a few said, " oh, a neighbour may pop in". for them
he said hes very lucky
how are you today?, and p ?

i have put this in the free section, but if anyone can use 2 adult longleat passports , they expire on nov 2nd, obv we cant use them up in time, as cant get there
some things done, but not all, would be good to not waste them

RevJA - so sorry to have overlooked your message this morning. Prayers for you to be able to ride on eagles wings today.

CD - prayers for a jolly big eagle for you too. Could it be an ear infection? Can you get her to the out of hours gp? Sounds like she's trying to tell you something. (At least it means that she isn't necessarily giving up on morning naps! And at least it has struck on a Friday night. Is dh at home with you this weekend? ) Prayers that you can all get some rest.

Mufti - we might be able to use the Longleat passes, if we are visiting friends in Dorset over half term. I'll let you know. (If we do, maybe we could drive via you, and drop off a chicken casserole, or something!)

Just a meat eaters thought! My elderly neighbours buy sandwich sliced beef, from Sainsbury's. They do potatoes, veg and make gravy (I discovered recently that gravy is all vegetarian! It only has colouring in it, no animal products) and then dunk the beef slices in the gravy. I'm sure he could dunk his meat one handed, if you can bring yourself to open the packet! Spose you might have to cut it up for him too!

so sorry NQGU, i would much rather you had them iyswim, didnt see your post in time , just promised them to lady on for free section
should have posted on here first
hes mananging much more one handed than i would have expected, opened a bottle of wine eg, i think hes trying to do too much , keeps saying hes pathetic, i dont know what he thinks he should be like
after many years of just looking after himself , i dont think it comes easy letting someone else do things for him. ds is getting him to read lots of books, they seem to be enjoying it

and what a sweet thought re casserole NQGU
i have offerd that we can cook together, if i can be his left hand , he can still chop with his right?
i can cook a bit , i do it once a week normally , but not with finesse , he says when i chop veg , they come out bigger than they started

lol at your veg Mufti! And don't worry about the longleat passes. Much better that they go to someone who will definitely use them

she said they are going to the center parcs NQGU, so im sure they will

Hello all!

Mufti, praying for a swift recoveruy for your dh.

Hope you have had a better day CD! Little ones are wonderful but so intensive! I was watching a little just-learnt-to-walk baby boy wearing a fluffy babygro in Sainsbury's today, toddling up to the breakfast cereals aisle, and my heart turned to Turkish Delight! But all the sleeplessness and stress...

REv, praying for you in your tiredness and in your trip tomorrow to see the family. I pray that the Lord will comfort them through you, and that the "fragrance of Christ" will fill their home.

Hi NQGU! {waves} I hope you are having a good weekend!

I could do with prayer. I've had a stressful week, all to do with school politics, all very complicated and a bit bitter . (The dc's school was merged in Sept and it has not been easy - to put it mildly.)

I have found it really hard as I am trying to be a peacemaker and it is blimming difficult! Especially as all the animosity is under the surface. I was awake a lot of last night, pondering. I am also finding it difficult accepting that there is a limit to what I can do; for things to get better there need to be a lot of people working together, and that just isn't happening atm.

I am also leading most of the service tomorrow morning, so I'd love prayers for that!

Well for Jews the sabbath starts at sunset on Saturday evenig so I might light a few candles, open a bottle of wine and let the day of rest begin! "Shabbat Shalom" as they say!

Take a deep breath CF .... and move to the back seat!!!!!!!! That's an order!! xx
