Just had such an amazing day, feel all in a spin!

Started off really weirdly as had physio on my back and he stuck a needle into different parts, 2 inches deep OMG!), to get to muscle, amazing but had me in floods of tears, pain, relief, just mad weirdness went on basically.

Anyway took Lottie to a workshop in Bedford with her v. spititual Godmother. The woman taking the class is my friends teacher, teaching her to do readings etc.

Anyway we walked in and this woman just came straight over and took Lootie who immediatley nuzzled into this woman and then was stroking her face. I took it all with a pinch of salt but couldn't help but feel proud as she told me about Lotties amazing energy, aura and how she was just amazing to be around. Everyone in the room really did seem to be radiating towards Lottie though. She was always the centre of something, or it really, really seemed that way, I just became aware that she was always in the centre of everything, grinning fromear to ear at all times.

The train journey there and back was full of people cracking up laughing at her, 2 women were in tears of laughter/emotion, someone else told me I should hire here out to make people happy, gosh what an amzing child, aren't you lucky, 2 different unrelated, grown men were stroking her hand and Lottie was saying 'ahhhhh' to them and it was just all so lovely that I felt quite ovrecome tbh.

A woman walked past Lottie, did a double take, came back and said 'ohhh, what a special child, and squeezed my arm.

Basically I just had a day of people getting something from my daughter, not just 'isn't she cute' but it was mad, lots of people on the same day all commented in some form that she somehow gave something to them.

Am I making any sense? I'm quite spun out about it all, had quite a mad day tbh and feel quite emotional and incredibly happy and overwhelmingly proud of that little girl sparked out in her cot, legs akimbo and rosy cheeked.

I just felt the need to tell you about my day.
Thanks for letting me gush, I neede that

I really do feel so happy that I wanted to share it with you, I don't know if I've made any sense but even so I know you'll still understand, thanks

Just popping back in to wish you lovely ladies goodnight! If I don't go to sleep now, i'll end up face down asleep in the birthday cake!
Even after the emotion, I can end today on a positive high. Thank you all so much- it is great to know that I can share both the highs and the lows with you all and that I am sure I will never feel alone.
Hopefully, I will post tomorrow evening saying what a lovely day dd has had-she deserves it so much, after alll she has to put up with a mad mum like me!

on the subject of changed names....i used to love reading posts from MARYZ....is she still around? i'm not too good on recognising people when they change names!!!

blossomhill · 31/10/2004 01:28

No I haven't? That's the funny part! I like Fio though she is on my wave length definitely! Same as Chocol8 she is lovely too!

blossomhill · 31/10/2004 01:29

Haven't seen her for a while MrsF. Do you remember I was KPB for a while at first!

mrsforgetful · 31/10/2004 01:31

chocol8 is great....we coukld start a whole new thread of our top 10 mumsnetters.......but better not....as i'd be bound to miss someone lovely off!!
Do you find that you look to some for the 'serious stuff' and know not to get all giggly on their threads.....and then theres others that you can 'let go' on???

Definitely. There are people on here I have just clicked with and others that are nice but not on my wavelength!
Tc - when you went to the meet ups were people as you thought they'd be?
I met up with a lady from the SPD board I go on and although she looked nothing how I had imagined (as people never do) we did get on really well as we had quite a bit in common.

mrsforgetful · 31/10/2004 01:35

coppertop has been quiet tonight!

I'm convinced that she was my twin separated at birth!!!!

blossomhill · 31/10/2004 01:37

Did you click with the people that you clicked with on-line though?

blossomhill · 31/10/2004 01:38

That was a point I have made when other parts of mumsnet turn a bit nasty. I always say that never happens on the special needs section, ever!

mrsforgetful · 31/10/2004 01:39

well.....i am going to beddybyes!

I don't know what it is about me but as it gets near 2am (yeah...i know it's really 1am!!!) i feel compelled to go to bed....if i stay up later i start to feel that i might as well stay up....have done that in the past.....and it is a killer the next day!!!!

so off i go....see you tomorrow!

blossomhill · 31/10/2004 01:40

Goodnight Mrs Forgetful. I won't be around tomorrow night as I have to force myself to bed early. The kids are back to school on Monday! I haven't got anything ready, bad mum that I am!
I am going to bed too as i am knackered and cold!

I went cos it was local and i thought what the hell, not cos I clicked with them. Really nice though, Karen99, alibubbles and anorak was the 1st one, 2nd time was same but with deegward and bobsmum and kayleigh, all lovley women but never really chatted away to them on MN like this, wouldn't stop me meeting them agian though.

Would love to meet all of people on this thread and mentioned on this thread tonight plus Blu, motherinferior, beetroot, aloha, soupdragon, coddy, countess dracula, davros, jimjams, nickola, actually shouldn't do this will forget someone lovley and feel mortified.

I have contacted you about the Lottie in Eve article.
