Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018
Comments

I was born 3 months early and weighed less than 2 pounds when I was born.
Best wishes0 -
Haven't been on the forums much lately Mooloo but sending positive vibes for many reasons and wishing Biggest well . My eldest daughter was a tiny preemie . No nails but a shock of red hair . I'm quite tall but she's been taller than me since she entered her teens , climbs mountains and runs marathons . As my mum used to say good things come in little parcels .
Reading back it seems you've handled the recent upheavals in the only way that felt right with you . Things are in a better place now everything is out in the open . I'm hoping your son and girlfriend will continue to try moving forward and will get the help they need and move to do so ..
Well done for growing the business and keeping things on track
I hope you manage some sleep tonight and Biggest is ok .

Thinking of your Dd Mooloo, hope everything goes ok for her and the baby.0

No news yet. They are aiming to stop her contractions to try and hold on a bit longer. But who knows.
Trying to get the gf out of bed! She's a nightmare for sleeping.
DS is starting to sleep a bit better and relaxing. They are eating more and starting to look much healthier.
They are off to the council to discuss their options this morning.
I am off to work to continue to fly my balloon for a few days, build on my work and prepare for the new lady on Thursday.
Fingers crossed that she is going to be able to learn what is required fast and not loose me money.
Onwards and upwards then
Have a good day everyoneWhen I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Biggest is at home on bed rest. That will be interesting. She's still getting tightening but apparently bearable. Every day longer is a bonus for them.
Dgd is Home and happy to see her uncle Home. Not so sure she's fussed about the gf. She has already mentioned that she might have to go back to the little room. I have said only if we have to have the boys.
So hoping that we can prevent that though.
It was good to see Twin1, and the rest of the family but it was very brief.
I am a little behind at work compared to my schedule so tomorrow I really need some good momentum.
Work coming in faster than it's going out unfortunately.
Mind you I was meant to bank on my way home, and I forgot. So 9am at the bank tomorrow then.
DS and gf both asleep at the moment. GF is working again later so DS has to drive her back and forth.
I have just had a cuppa and now I am relaxed. Really should be doing the dinner. Five minutes then.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
I am not a saint, but I need the patience of one. The GF niceness is cracking. She lost her straightener and blamed DS for not knowing where she put them! Her attitude to my son really annoys me. She has been asleep all afternoon. I woke her at 5.30 she had an hour to get ready for work and stressed at not having enough time to get ready. She didn't have time to eat dinner even though it was ready at 5.40.pm
I have had to bite my tongue. I don't know how DS keeps so quiet. She is threatening not to pay the car insurance all because he didn't find her straighteners. I am dumbfounded by her attitude and how my son didn't say a word. Personally I would have probably told her that she could walk the 12 miles to work if she was going to speak to me the way she did to him. I got curt replies when I offered a hot brush if it would help, and I said I did wake you up at 5.30 and she just snapped I still need to leave at 6.30.
Dgd jaw nearly hit the floor. She asked me why does Uncle love her? I said I don't know, but she is an example of what not to do to other people.
I am going to have words with her before the week is out if she carries on like that.
And breathe.
Calm.
Thoughts need to go back to love, peace and joy! I must not let her nasty attitude change my position of positive attitude and good vibrations!
Erm Let it go????
I may need to sing that song a lot.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Mooloo. I understand you don't want to rock the boat, but you are doing them the favour. Its your home and you deserve to be treated civilly while she is there.0

Set as many alarms as you have - to start going off at 4.45, and carrying on every 5 minutes!0
