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

[Thomcat]

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

So...hands up if you have bleary eyes and are knackered? Yes, I thought so!

I just caught up on this thread (that took some doing!) and I can't believe that whilst I was ironing school uniforms, watching Parkie (Sharon O was on it...brilliant) and carving a pumpkin that you guys were gettin' all gushy - damn it I missed it! No one seemed to be around when I shut down to start the boring stuff.

Just wanted to say ditto to all the lovely things said here (and thank you for what you said about me). I really do feel at home here on the SN board - I occasionally venture out but not often now for the reasons stated before. Yes, I cry at X Factor too...infact most things. My ds came down during XF yesterday and saw "Voices With Soul" on and said "vote for them Mummy" over and over. When I was looking at the local paper later on, I realised that they come from Luton! Weird!

I had a disturbed night with ds waking twice, but muppet head here put her alarm clock forward instead of back and then started having panick attacks. Feel a bit hungover today, but hope you guys are all bright eyed and bushy tailed. x

PS, Thomcat, please could you send me the jpeg of Lottie too - I missed it and would love to see her. x

Chocol8 - what a shame you missed it. Maybe we should arrange another one but on MSN if I can set it up?
It was really nice and I don't feel too bad today at all. Mind you I wasn't drinking so that helps.
Hope you haven't got to do too much today!

TC if you could bottle those feelings you had yesterday you'd make a fortune

Glad that you had such a lovely day.

Can't believe I missed an SN board gush-a-thon! I expect an invitation for the next one.

I think I was cloned from MrsF or something - especially when we post on the same threads at the exact same second!! I haven't seen MaryZ around for ages. Has she sneaked back with a name change and I missed it?

I'd love to go to an SN meet-up but the chances of me making it to London are slim. The chances of me not getting completely lost are virtually non-existent.

And where is dottee? I haven't seen here for a while either.

I've only just read this and it's made me feel all warm & fuzzy TC, you really, really do come across as a hugely positive person in your posts. I first started posting on MN when my dd was first being investigated for neuro probs, and it was about the time that you first posted here about your skydive, and I just thought 'Wow, who is this woman?'. Pretty damn inspirational and a helluva lot braver than me.

Sorry, I'm being all mushy. All the posts on this thread are lovely, for want of a better word. I was feeling very sorry for myself earlier on in the week, feeling heaps better now & reading this has lifted my spirits further.

Hope you're all having a fab Sunday. Wish I could get to meet you all sometime, however we're out in the sticks so getting to London is a bit tough.

what a lovely thread, we ought to do an msn night once a week or something, have to echo what other peeps say, we dont have fall outs on the special needs bit

What a fantastic thread!!!

Such a lovely bunch of people on here. I've definitely felt ALOT better since joining you lot.

Hmmm - hesitated about posting but here goes.

First - TC just wanted to say I 'get' the aura thing and I think days like the one you had are just sooo special. I love those days when you are just totally 'in love' with your child and none of it matters.

Second - okay, I admit it, I am feeling a bit paranoid about what people think of me on here. I'm too earnest aren't I? Though I really hope MrsF that I'm not one of the people whose threads you don't feel you can muck around on. Because I really really find it funny when you and CT stalk each other etc etc.

The thing is, I never used to be so serious. I think I have forgotten how to have fun . I've just got so wrapped up in dd I think I have lost myself a bit.

Gawd - even this post is serious!!

Sorry - it's a lovely thread and I shouldn't be interrupting. I guess I just wanted to wear my heart on my sleeve too...... not always very good at that.

HITC - Interrupt away! I honestly was going to post yesterday that you are another person I feel that is similar to me! I think you are really nice and again like me in the respect that you are open with your feelings.
Infact I think ALL of the mums on the special needs board are lovely, I honestly do!
I completely understand how you are feeling as I too have a dd with special needs and it does take over sometimes doesn't it! Everyone on here understands that of course as we are all in the same boat and that is why I think we all connect in one way or another.
You have always been really kind and thoughtful to me and I really appreciate that.
I really mean everything I have said as well

HITC - you lovely lady! Bless you're heart. I think you're such a great person.

Glad you get the aura thing. i don't know what to make of it all but glad you understand.

Lots of love TC xx

Thomcat, definitely get the thing about the aura. Infact, I can tell you have an amazing energy from this messageboard and I haven't even met you yet [grin}.

I'm in a very soppy mood today for some reason!

HITC- don't think you're at all earnest! I know what you mean about feeling a bit paranoid though. Sometimes you'll post something and think, 'oooh, did I word that right'?

Anyway, I've obviously got too much time on my hands today (rare Monday afternoon- dd doing therapy, ds at childminder. I was meant to have a driving test this afternoon but it got cancelled so I'm faffing around! Hurrah!).

Oh dear, I think I'm a bit tooo emotion to be on here at the moment. I feel that my heart is not on my sleeve, it's so prominant it's as if I've stuck it on top of my head for everyone to see in neon lights and flashing!!!!
Gush,,,,gush,,,,gush.
You are all right, we have a common bond by the "similarities" that we deal with on a day to day basis!

Thomcat, I am glad you had such a special day. It must have been like falling in love!

[smil]ing at gingbear, yeah I suppose it was.

What a nice place this is

HITC - your posts ALWAYS make me feel better! Know what you mean about not sure about getting the wording right, as I worry about that, but your posts always hit the mark exactly for me and I don't think you're earnest!!
Glad you've joined too jakbrown - yep, some really lovely people on here.

aaaahhhhhh! It's a mumsnet SN love-in. Minus Pinkshoes...

great isn't it, my vibes had some mad effect on us all that night and we all had a proper virtual group hug. Very finny and really, really lovley!!!

It was great TC.Couldn't send me some of your positive vibes now could you?
Seen Lotties pic in your other thread, she is beautiful TC and so rightly you should be so proud of her.
Hugs,Dingle.

They are on their way babes, but why, what's up?

It takes a special person to have a
special baby -

HITC - As MrsF's twin, clone, and official stalker I'm as certain as I can possibly be that when she mentioned not being able to laugh on certain threads she actually meant non-SN ones. She didn't mean you at all!

I think we're all fairly serious for at least part of the time. I think the recent SN thread about feeling down helped to show that we're all on an emotional rollercoaster. I have some good laughs on here but then I also rant away and shed a tear or two over other threads. It's the great thing about this board -no matter how you're feeling there's always someone here who understands.

You've started me off gushing too now!

But it doesn't fairydust, it REALLY doesn't.
We love our kids the same as anyone else loves theirs. There's nothing special about it other than straightforward, unconditional love, the purest form, like all mothers love their kids.

Tc - well said that's how I feel too.

Not having a go though Fairydist, just need to point that out to you, it's how lots of us, probably all of us feel. But thank you for the sentimenrt, i know you mean well and were just being nice, xx
