Hi again.
Fury, LOL as your DS! I don't blame him, I wouldn't want to be surrounded by crying babies either!
Just got back from a community centre that I have discovered near me. V stressful morning. I set off at 9.20 to find the community centre after checking a map on the county website walked 15 minutes and it wasn't in the place it said it was, so I traipsed around the estate trying to find it, tried what I thought was a short cut through a green but when I got to the other side I couldn't fit the buggy out of the exit. So by this time I'd been schlepping around for 45 minutes, hot and bothered and irrationally close to tears, DD starving. Eventually I found it, I wasn't going to go in at first as I looked a state and was worked up, but I went in and one of the ladies said hello and Are you ok? and I just burst into tears and said "no I'm having a really bad week!" so she took me off for a cup of tea. She must have thought I was a bit crazy because she kept saying "we do do home visit you know, just in case you are feel a bit, you know, low..."
Anyway they were lovely and turns out the have loads to do there, and a sensory room which has loads of fibre optic lights and stuff, regular groups, days out, course and a creche. I so wish had found it sooner. Feeling much better now. I don't really know what came over me. I'm just so desperate for stuff to do!
MHC I have got the Naomi Stadlen book, I read the first few chapters, I must get round to finishing it. I would love to do stuff alone, the problem is DH doesn't get back till 6.30, then I cook, feed DD and by the time she gets to bed (anytime between 7.30 and 9 depending on how she is) there isn't much time before I go to bed, by about 10 as I am so tired. I had a search on the Julia Cameron books though, they look really interesting, I'll check ebay I think.
