Morning everyone, I had yet another early night last night, don't really know what's got into me this week I've had loads of early nights!

This morning I need to go and collect ds fancy dress outfit from my sisters house, then I've got a mystery shop to do at a large supermarket which is great because we need to go and do a shop anyway Then its party-time this afternoon I think it will be one of those where you drop them off and leave them but I'm not sure, maybe I'll stay :rolleyes:

Need to get a bit of housework done again today, just to stay on top of it all Oh and need to buy a present for my Grandads brthday on wednesday (91) ... beer and sweets should do fine

Been to the bank and paid in the cheue from ex-mil for ds swimming and £6 of 2ps and 5ps which will duly be moved to the mortgage pot
Also collected the disnosaur outfit which just about fits ds still and bought wrapping paper and card for the party and cards for my grandads birthday (£2.25) and some milk and some crumpets (£1.46). Off to make a cup of coffee and toast a couple of crumpets for brekkie

Yesterday was a horrible horrible day ...

Ds went to the party, he was soooo excited ... an hour into it I got a phone call asking me to collect him as he had bitten another child :eek: I went back and it was mortyfing, there were loads of other parents there all looking at me, I had to try sooo hard not to cry in front of them all; the poor kid he bit had a horrible mark and I just felt awful, I cried all the way home I unplugged the tv so he couldn't have that all day and I took away his trains (which he plays with all the time). He was very subdued for the rest of the day but I just felt sick I took him round to the little boys house and made him apologise to him and his parents, it was horrible

Then my best mate who bumped her head a few weeks ago called to say she'd had her appointment with the neurologist and the scans had shown up that she has a brain tumour Apparently it is benign which is good news and it has been there for between 5-15 years already and that is pushing on the brain which is why its taken her so long to recover from the fall. She has to have an op to remove it and is off work for at least the next 3 months

Ds is spending today with his dad and I am going to see said friend above

Last night I switched the computer off, had a bottle of wine then went to bed Hoping today will be a happier day :rolleyes:

Oh honey - huge hugs to you sweetie, what a lot to deal with. I really hope you do have a better day. You are doing everything you can do and no matter how low you feel you are a wonderful mum - it shines through. Ignore other parents looks - you'd think their children were all angels for goodness sake, no! Sophia wound William up so much yesterday that he had a tantrum, then he hit her so she shoved him off the sofa onto his head - children do things impulsively and it sounds like you showed him immediately that it was unacceptable and he realised this.

I'm blathering on.

What I really mean is massive hugs for you,ds and your friend - how worrying. Tank goodness it's benign and she can now start to recover. When is her op going to be? Does she live near? Have family to help look after her? Kids?

Thanks Sea My friend lives about a mile away from me, shes staying with her parents though till her op as she needs someone with her incase she has a seizure :eek: They live about 20 minutes away. She doesn't have a partner or kids but she has a great circle of friends who will all look after her

Sea78

That's good - hope you have a nice time with her today
