Right, I have put my angry and disappointed feelings into a box and buried it away in the garden. I can deal with those at a later stage. Now, just to focus on my family and getting centred and to a place of peace again.
Off to the supermarket because it's the double dividend day at the co-op, make sure I have enough to get through the rest of the week at least (well, enough to get the DCs through anyway)
Only other task is to get some printer paper as I have a gig next week and have been asked to play part of a Corelli concerto, and have been emailed a pdf of my part, so am going to play through that (and breathe, and breathe, all a bit ouchy this morning)
I am a strong woman, I can do anything. I have been accused of emasculating partners in the past. My crime? Not actually "needing" them, whatever that means. Little miss independent and all that. I have got through the most hideous of pregnancies by myself, and am going to carry on with more than surviving. Because actually I have more than survived.
Thank you EVERYONE. Acrobat is very lucky to have so many people thinking of him, and about to become his online aunties 
Off to the shops for me then.
