The message is.. treasure what you have because you never know how long you'll have it!

i have just type a long winded post to put onto the boards and then went and LOST it all. so decided to come and have a read and then read the above. which was very pertinent to me for today (and was about what my lost post was about and my feeling's regrding today)
They say that time is a great healer but for me personally time is making me feel more. i will explain as briefly as i can.
I lost my mum just under 2 years ago and it was mothers day that we had the daignosis that her lung cancer has spread to the brain. so today is hard for me too.
I'm having some problems with DD2 to the extent that she has totally ignore today in fact spent most of it in her bedroom ( she is 18yrs and working) and then to top it all. last week she asked if thier was anything i would like and i said yes. a book that i wanted and maybe a hour of your time.
well you Guessed No hour
and this morning she said i didn't get you the book as couldn't be bothered so i'll give you the money next week so YOU can get it. as i want to use the money to go out tonight.
Well my words were " forget it i don't want to buy it myself" i really don't want it now. what i really wanted was the other thing i asked for to which she replied oh that well i'm going out.
Am i or was i being unreasonable
sorry to waffle on i just feel so bad today[/quote]

A dose of slapped leg for DD2.. She WILL get better.. They are just so self obsessed at that age!!

Hello.
Had nice day up until i was rammed by trolley in ikea and spent three hours in a&e with a broken wrist. In plaster for weeks and it's true what they say...ikea is an evil place!

On a positive note DH not going away this week to help me with children. No flying done. xx

mudbath-[strike]OMG[/strike] OMFG. i hope you had a go at the silly b!tch/bastado that did it that to you? i agree with soappie, you have to milk it for all you can and have DH waiting on you hand and foot.

Bebee- your not being unreasonable but as pigpen said teenagers can [strike]be[/strike] are suck hard work, it's all me, me, me with them now a days.

this is my 1st mothers day with out my mum and i have coped with it better than i thought i would, don't get me wrong i miss her like mad but i have had so much bad !!!!!! happen to me over the last 18 months that if i let today get to me i will crack up, so been keeping my self busy all day so not realy had time to think about stuff. on a happier a note DS & DS got me the cd i wanted, Mark Ronson, so i have been dancing round to it all day :rotfl:

Bebee I agree with Pigpen, teenagers can be horrible, I remember being ignorant as a teenager too. I do wonder however if other things may be effecting your DD, possibly this time of year with what happened to her Grandma leaves her feeling not so good and this is how she displays that? Grief can of course stir up so many mixed emotions, she may of course just be being an icky hormonal teenager.

Mudbath OUCH!!!! Sending you a giant hug xx gentle of course so I don't hurt your wrist.

My partner gets very bad dry itchy skin and bad eczema he has found the hemp body butter and hemp hand cream from the body shop really helps.

It is not cheap but it has cleared it up better than the steroid creams the dr gave him. (steroid cream made it worse)

hope that helps

Sorry to butt in to your thread ladies but thought you may be interested to know that I got my partner a sample of the 'Dream cream' from Lush and it has cleared up a really stubborn patch of eczema on his neck. He has now swiched from the hemp stuff from the body shop to the dream cream.It is stupidly expensive but worth it. If you have a lush shop near you it is worth trying to get a sample first. Although the shop near me doesn't like giving out samples if it can help it. But as it is £9.50 a tub you need to see if it is ok for your skin or it is an expensive experiment.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
