    Evening,

    LO is fine, thanks to everyone who offered hugs and kind thoughts, it is much appreciated. She was only in theatre for 2 hours which was good. Woke up, wolfed down 2 bowls of cereal and fell back asleep:D

    I'm pooped and my stomach is upset so i'm going to bed.

    I'm really glad to hear it went well. Was your stomach upset because of all the stress? Mine reacts to stress! I hope you and LO make a good recovery. Get plenty of rest

    I'm up bright and early, the sun is shining and I'm feeling much better today. Going to catch up on the thread and declutter some breakfast!

    G&B so pleased to hear about your LO. I was just going to suggest upset tummy due to stress, I often get like that after the stressful event has just finished.

    Huge hugs and healing vibes to your DD. I hope that she gets a successful outcome. :)

    ETA: AnW'sMum who are the SW'S?? I've been trying to work it out but think I must have missed a meeting!

    ETA x2 : Julie I can't believe I forgot to say... ~~~~Healing vibes to your Auntie ~~~~

    ETA x3 : JillD I hope you feel a little better today? There's been a full moon which never helps anything! Try if you can to find a quiet time (easier said than done I know) to sit down and explain what you'd like your DH to do. I've found that if I explain how I feel my OH just hears 'waoh waoh waoh waoh' like Charlie Brown's teacher! Good luck. It is really hard, and the worse you feel the worse the children will behave, it's such a vicious circle. :( But you'll crack it. :)
