    Evening.

    Lou-hunny, with all the best intentions, you must teach your sons to live as adults. You are not doing them any favours by doing everything for them-sorry if that sounds harsh, I don't mean it to. Also, to be a good Mom you NEED to do things for yourself or you end up resenting your family. Being happy in everything helps you be a better parent. I think when I was worrying about applying for the CSO job either Maz or Luc (I think) said it wasn't fair for DH to have a job he loves and for me to be unhappy in my job for the sake of the 'family' Most of the FF he works with are married to either parmedics/nurses or police officers, all shift workers and THEY make it work-if YOU are happy it's better for EVERYONE. *Bunny gets off soapbox*


    Weller hunny-I know it's heart rending to read posts like that but it was said in jest. No one really wants that, and I for one would love to be able to return your love to you. ((hug))

    Bookie-glad the leg is ok-ish, well, there at least.

    I can't wait for this weekend.

    Sorry, I'll shut up now....

    Oh I heard a funny story today at work. A friend of a woman I work with had her divorce hearing last week but it was declined by the judge as her soon to be ex husband drew a giant penis on the divorce papers and the judge refused to deal with it.....

    I just thought it was really funny:rotfl::rotfl:

    I know how hard it is-I saw my kids for all of an hour max today, and then have of that was me nagging...

    But when I'm home, I'm too busy (normally) do crap around the house do do anything with them then! We're Mom's-we have over sized guilt genes. It's a fact.

    Get the cleaners in DH is out and don't tell him OR find a cleaner you know. I asked around (when I had one) and my friends Mom did it for ages. x

    I just think that the right honourable judge pineapple up his bum didnt want to see his name signed to a document with a giant knob on it:rotfl:

    I would have just signed it and said "we didnt ask for a profile picture":D
