I like winter too because the clothes are so much better and you can wear boots. Luckily here wew get lots of winter sunshine too. What Ican't stand is grey drizzle.

Foxy, chocolate pudding is permissable every day

upsyderlor · 01/11/2007 21:09

i'm right there with you on the boots thing!!

good evening peeps

just been talking to my mum...they're letting her home on Tuesday, but she's going to stay with my sister for a bit until (if) she's back on her feet. She sounds quite upbeat about everything, but I can't help but feel that this is the beginning of the end for her

I want to get up to see her, but don't want her to feel like I'm doing a mad rush up there incase I don't get another chance. We're booked up to go up at Christmas, but I'm worried that if I wait that long it might be too late

I just wish that I was a wee bit closer, or that DH was here to look after the DCs whilst I nipped up or a couple of days.

DS was better behaved at school today thankfully, but not at home, and I got so cross with him I was literally foaming at the mouth in anger (he was poking DD in the eye and nearly catapulting her out of her chair by rocking it VERY hard and laughing even though she was screaming in fear, and then being gobby when I asked him to stop and not stopping). Anyhoo, I screamed so long and hard at him; proper mummy meltdown . He went to bed sobbing and I shook for half an hour. I feel like a right old cow now

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:15

too many s there. Sorry for bringing the tone down.

I love winter as well, but only the crisp clear frosty days. The grey drzzle that chills you to the marrow you can keep....but unfortunately that's the majority weather around these parts.

Bloody hell, right little ray of farking sunshine am I.

I'll come back tomorrow when I've cheered up a bit!

upsyderlor · 01/11/2007 21:16

oh Daisy, poor you can i help you out is any way?
i could meet you and take your kids (and mine) to soft play for a couple of hours to let you see your mum perhaps???

So sorry Daisy.

Don't go, stay here with us. I'll share my chocolate pudding with you ... it has hot chocolate sauce and cold ice cream? There, feel a bit better?

I hope you are OK. Its not easy with the wee man either is it? {{{hugs}}}} for you.

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:32

oh, bless you guys

foxy, the chocolate pudding is lovely thank you , and derlor.....what can I say?.....you are indeed a love

I was just off checking in with my new
blocked duct buddies...lots of good ideas about why it keeps happening and how to get rid. Olive oil compress anyone?

Sputnik · 01/11/2007 21:33

I would've screamed too Daisy. I get angry with dd very quickly if the baby's involved. Andwhat are you supposed to when they ignore you. Walk away? Seriously, if someone has the answer I'd love to know.

Sputnik · 01/11/2007 21:35

Sorry about your mum, Daisy

foxystein · 01/11/2007 21:37

I really feel for you Daisy. Its so farking complicated this sibling thing. There's fear, anger, guilt for starters.

FWIW I did crying and screaming at tea-time yesterday.

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:39

derlor, have you been stalking me?

you guys....you always make me laugh. I love this place sometimes.

cheers sputnik....it's just that whole I'm the grown-up so should stay in control thing. Seeing me go off on one isn't exactly leading by example, so do I have the right to be angry at him when he does the same to his mates?

upsyderlor · 01/11/2007 21:39

Daisy, while you were away last week DD1 bit DD2 on the foot "just to see if she would cry" you are NOT alone with this and i too was livid i went flippin nuts at her, she's not done it again (((so far)))

BadZelda · 01/11/2007 21:40

my goodness you have been busy! Off to catch up...

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:41

Nobody said it was easy.....but no-one ever said it would be this hard....

upsyderlor · 01/11/2007 21:43

don't worry, i was browsing and just "saw" you

OP posts:
foxystein · 01/11/2007 21:45

Daisy, I think there is some importance in them seeing us as human beings, with emotions and feelings. They also need to know if they push as - and they deliberatly do - we can crack.

Perhaps lead by example tomorrow and apologise/explain why you got so upset. Then he could say sorry to his sister maybe.

I apologised to my lot today. And explained why I was upset and what happened. I don't think they were that arsed about it and had moved on. Made me feel a bit better though!

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:45

oh derlor, I can see why that would make you cross.

DS was pulling her lower lids down (in a none too gentle gouge her eyes out fashion)...to see what her eyeballs looked like, ffs!

did we all watch 'enders then? and did anyone notice that Max undid her dress (cos she couldn't) but when she walked out of the room the zip was up again? .

dogtanian · 01/11/2007 21:47

Daisy . I have no words to express how much my heart aches for you. My mum is my best friend in the world (except for dp) and I couldn't imagine seeing her that ill. You poor thing. I really hope you get a lovely christmas together that you will remember forever xxx

IamDaisy · 01/11/2007 21:51

on a cheerier note (thanks you guys ), I'm off to bed.

I'm pre menstrual and feeling bleargh. The two periods I've had since DD was born, and this impending one, I've had that awful heavy dragging sensation for nearly two weeks prior to period rather than my usual few days. I hope it settles down. I can't remember what it was like after DS.

dogtanian · 01/11/2007 21:52

Periods as well?!

Daisy you need this

(((((HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG))))

upsyderlor · 01/11/2007 21:56

yikes Daisy, i forgot about those
haven't had one for like ever!!
((((hope i'm not PG!!!!!))))))

Seansgirl · 01/11/2007 21:57

Daisy, I wish I were closer that I could offer some help, you must be chewed up inside worrying about your Mum. I completely agree with Holly, Mum is my bestfriend in the whole world and I don't know where I'd be without her. I hope that you can manage to see her somehow before Christmas, and that Christmas is really special. Big love and kisses xxx
