Hi love.
Hope it is better news than you are thinking today.
Sounds like one pretty busy weekend. Hope you did get some rest too.
You mentioned 3 school runs. I will have DS1 in foundation 2, so 8:45-3, then DS2 will be in morning or afternoon nursery, so whichever way i look at it i will be walking to school 3x per day. Should keep me fit. :eek:0 -
Thanks, guys.
Michelle not really a rest, but there's always next weekend...I see what you mean about school runs, I'll be doing the same come Feb, but school is just around the corner from me, how far is it for you?Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
It's about a 1/4 mile, but uphill a bit from us, so hard work getting there on time. Particularly when DS2 walks as he has to jump in every puddle and examine every bit of litter. You know how it is. Not much easier in the buggy as we still have to have DS1 helping to push or walking in the way.
Takes about 10 minutes.
Can't wait for about 19 months time when they are both there all day. Might get some peace then.0 -

Well it was a NSD, and looks like the MIL has advanced (stomach, probably) cancer. Not good, but still not certain. DH predictably not in a good way. Poor thing, it must be horrible for him (and her,obv, though its been pretty symptomless so far).
Don't think the outlook is fantastic at her age. God bless her and keep her.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Sorry to hear that. All you can hope for is comfort. It is not good to go through whenever. We lost my nana in about a month from diagnosis a few years ago, and that was so hard to watch. Your poor DH, i bet it is really hard not being there.0

Couldn't read that last bit and not de- lurk. Best of luck to you all. Hope she remains comfortable however long there is left..and hopefully that's longer than everyone including the doctors think
