I cried for weeks:( Couldn't handle that K...... Though it would be lovely to be able to help out and I admire people who do it - it would break my already fragile heart....

I have never fostered but my mate used to it is very hard

Okay you got me there:lol:

I can remember you telling me that T was concerned you were corrupting me:rofl::rofl:

I am contemplating taking a shower and getting dressed - but contemplating is as far as it's gone at the mo...

Lyd's new boyfriend is coming over for tea later;)..... I am so happy she has friends to go out with I couldn't care if she has 50 boyfriends at the moment - how my attitude has changed....

Good thing is she is a sensible street sav kid.... Someone in our family had to have sense:D I sometimes get lectured by her:eek: I ask her who is the mum and she says that sometimes she wonders that herself:blink: Why do they have to grow up K?????? I liked it more when she did as I said - not tried to tell me what to do:rofl:

Oh we have already arrived there believe me!!!!!!!

She knows everything and every day is a battle - her and Dunc going for it and me stuck as piggy in the middle trying to keep the peace:blink:

I asked her yesterday if she looks at me and thinks - God how did I end up with a mum like that... She said no Mum you're the best but I often wonder that about Dad - we were all in the car at the time and D was so offended... I think she was joking:eek::rofl:

I told my OH and my sons that if they argue i will not play referee as I hate bein pig in the middle trouble is you can see both sides of the argument:huh:

at least both my kids agree they hada lovely childhood and were very lucky so we cant have done too badly.
It would be great if each kid came with a manual on how to raise them :lol:

I came to the conclusion a long time ago there is no such thing as the perfect child or perfect parents and so I console myself in doing the best job I can...

God I have made mistakes along the way but haven't we all????? I love them with everything I have though and know despite my faults they love me too and that's all that really matters:)

Sometimes you have to put them first and other times you have to do things for you..... It's just finding the right balance that's a bitch.......

Dealt with the hairy bit.... Shame I can't buy a magic cream to dissolve the fat too...

It is flipping boiling today!!!! It is so nice to be able to just throw a sun-dress on and off to go.... It is about 34 here today I think and I haven't put the a/c on.... It feels like a sauna in here....

Am off to get some breakfast (at lunch time):eek: and sort things out for the day...

Hope the weather isn't too bad babe - read it is meant to be nasty in Wales....

It got to 38 degrees here this afternoon - I was roasting!!!! Not that I am complaining honest...

D, Kat and I went out down to Geelong Waterfront looked at the boats, went to a nice restaurant for lunch, Kat had a go on the carousel and we debated going on the sea plane.... Have decided to leave it until the Easter hols and go as a family!!!

For someone with a phobia for heights I think I am being pretty brave... You won't believe this but I am considering buying a bike to get out and about... It is flat here you see so no hill navigating........ I need the exercise desperately and it is something I can do with the kids... You never know I might do a MINI triathlon next year :blink: Then again perhaps not:rofl::rofl: I am tired at the thought!!!
