hello!!!
Not caught up properly. We've been hiding out at home for a couple of days and switched off all the phones/internet. I had/am having/am wondering if I'm having... a bit of a burn out/ melt down and needed to try to slow down a bit.
We were away xmas for 2 nights, then back home with dh's family for 2 nights and then we were meant to have a quiet night before new year's eve when we were driving up to Newcastle for another 2 nights, but we got a phone call late sunday night and dh's dad had collapsed and the ambulance was on the way and so we chucked everything in the car including an exhausted baby and raced back. 7 years ago FIL had a brain tumour and nearly died with similar symptoms. And so we were panicing.
In the end FIL didn't need to be admitted (although the ambulance crew said that the hospital was really full and nearly on divert and so we suspect that was influencing their decision ).
Out trip to Newcastle was cancelled and we just flaked out. I'm just exhausted. Christmas has been really stressful and not at all what I hoped T's 1st xmas would be and this was the final straw. But we've had a couple of days cut off from the rest of the world and had some family time (and a bit of dh time ) and I'm starting to feel better.
Pillock - sorry I missed you. Would have loved to have met up. I have said before if you fancied meeting up at Brandon or somewhere inbetween sometime I'd be up for that. As for fb, I'm afraid it's one friend in particular who would be tracking my every move on mn and I just don't want the hassle.
Sorry for the long post in the middle of the chat!
