    Lol, Linda, that is funny yet quite cruel! I should probably write a fake one for the boys, detailing what I've got up to while they are all away.

    You know it does feel quite odd having the house completely to myself, this hasn't happened since Christmas.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Well I am in a terrible mood lately, all the black cloud emotions and I sometimes wonder if its hormone related. OH is getting on my nerves with every little thing. I keep crying all the time for no reason and just feel heavy.

    And I am NOT pregnant before one chirps in with that one:rolleyes:

    I hate feeling like this and tend to hide my feelings as no one is really interested anyway, not really.

    So I keep putting one foot infront of the other and carry on. But I do feel like my Signature at the moment.

    Oh Louise, I'm sorry you're feeling down. It might be hormone related, I know I feel like that a lot when the hormones are around in full force. I totally understand when you say you hide how you feel because no one is interested. I feel like that too, always the one with the shoulder to cry on but no one seems to listen when I need a hand, so we bottle it up, eh. I guess that's what you get for coping most of the time, family etc just expect that you will always be the strong one.

    My daughter has been in hospital for the past few days, but has one person shown any concern, nope :rolleyes: (apart from a couple of lovely old stylers) My real life people haven't even called to ask how she's doing. But on the bright side they haven't called with their worries and problems either so that's a start.

    But getting back to you, give yourself the time to have a good old cry when you need to. Once the mood passes you'll be able to look back and see what the issue was, if it's hormones you can just laugh it off but if there is something going on you'll have a clearer head to make the changes in your life. Don't try to deal with it all now, you can't make any sensible changes in your life while you are weighed down with the sadness, just deal with the symptoms right now and be kind to yourself, because sometimes we are the only ones who will.

    Yay, it's brightening up here, looks like it will be nice for the park trip, will ask the girls when they get here if they want me to bring my sleeping bag to have a sit down on.

    That's terrible that no rl people have called, but I hope she gets better soon at the very least.

    Sorry to hear about your daughter Toto - which one? the wee one? hope she gets out soon, looking after the others and running back and forth from hospital must be exhausting.
