I agree with piggers & jinks it's perfectly natural .... you're a mum your thoughts are & should be first & foremost with Danny.
I think a lot of us on here are "feeling" this with you ..... you have lots of support .... big hugs, chin up make Danny as proud of you as you are of him :A xxx“Cancer has my body but not my spirit, and I’ll continue to make jokes, not so much about cancer, but in spite of it” Irwin Barker0 -
Evening all
Just a final update at the end of the weekend, before I settle down to school stuff. I'm quite pleased with what I've managed to achieve - another handful of bank holidays and this place would look so much better.
Carlsberg - don't be ashamed about your feelings. I'm sure anyone else would feel the same in your position. Sending the very best wishes to you and your family.
I won't keep up with the thread for the rest of the week now, but I'll try to post my list once a day and look for toots' posts to see how everyone is. Take care, everyone.

I can't imagine the pain you are suffering. You are not bad at all. It's a natural reaction.
It makes my own problems with DD1 smoking seem very insignificant. I again decluttered a packet of 9 (ten pack) from her bag today (I didn't snoop, they were visible an she left it in the hall unzipped). She is in an absolutely foul mood but can't say anything to me or DH as she has stated she doesn't smoke. I have taken on board all the suggestions from my lovely flyladies. I wil give her no money for anything and will get up at the crack of dawn to make her a packed lunch so she can't ask for lunch money.
In my hhc at 3.30 I Finished Mondays List!!! DD2 and DS3 were trying to watch a disney film I had recorded and were so inspired by my manic flying that they ran to the duster drawer in the utility room and cleaned the bottom of the french door windows (I did the top). I LOVE my little ones:D:D.

Some of today's list is done, but not all, as we were out at Stowe Gardens most of the day and I'm just too knackered to do any more tonight. I'll try and catch up tomorrow if I can.:o

Went to see Gran tonight, she has had her hip pinned
She looked a LOT better than I thought, but she was totally out of it
Woke a couple of times and garbled some nonsense then fell back asleep
Asked the nurses to make sure she knew I had been in though
They said they may give a transfusion to pep her up a bit as she lost some blood during the op
I honestly wasnt sure whether she would make it through :cool: so its all good so far:D:T:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
Hello - just back from weekend away - will jump back on the flying wagon from tomorrow. Thank you all the ladies!!"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."
