I log in all the time too from work I find it's where I actually have the time to go and do it!

That is so cute! Did it break Tim's heart to hear Penny doing that?

It actually broke my heart a little bit this morning when I dropped Kash off at daycare. He is always the first one there, as I have to leave for work by 7:30am, so he is there by 7:15am. Well this morning, his teacher had set up a train track for him to play with, and as soon as he seen it he was in heaven! I went over to see it with him and when I was leaving, he wouldn't give me a hug or kiss, not even a wave goodbye. He didn't even look at me when I left.......he traded me in for trains! lol! At least I know he will be excited when he sees his Christmas gift - thomas trains and a train track table

Mel your cake is beautiful

Allie whats your new place like? How are you and Alex? Feeling loads better thanks we got over the sickness then had a virus over the weekend but all seems a lot better.

Hoping thats so sweet that penny was looking for you I think hearing your little one call you mama is the best sound in the world. Benjamin's speech is really coming on I think hes saying book too he'll find a book and bring it over to us well he slides it across the room and say what sounds like book. Hes becoming such a little character I love seeing how is personality is developing he makes me smile every day

Mel- I think it did a little… he said it was very lonely not having me there. How sad you didn’t get a kiss or hug good bye! I’m sure when you pick him up from day care he will more than make it up to you. It certainly sounds like he is going to love his Christmas present. It made me a little sad when I got off the plane because at first Penny was so exited to see me and gave me a hug but after that she was ready to jump back into her daddy’s arms.

Lucy- its amazing how much they change in the 1st year. This time last year Ben was a helpless little new born and Penny was still cozy in my tummy and now they are talking and getting into mischief! I can’t wait to see their personalities shine even brighter this next year!

 

[msarkozi]

awe That does make a person sad for sure. When I picked up Kash last night, he didn't want to leave. I had to chase after him to get him to come home with me. This morning, I had extra time so I was sitting there with him and his teacher talking, and all of a sudden he waved bye to me!! I was like I guess I am going now lol!

 

[Jaymes]

Lex does that to me too... Funny and sad all rolled into one! I love when she is ready to go home with me, but I also love when she is having fun and doesn't want to leave!

We had to make the decision to put our puppy down this week. Her health is really declining. The tumor is getting larger and she seems to be in a lot of pain. I've scheduled it for Thursday afternoon. Here is a video my DS took this am, he is pretty broken about it.

Mel sorry I missed your post aww bless kash I guess thats boys for you more interested in trains The last time we saw my mum she was holding Benjamin and I said bye bye and he waved bye bye to me and looked pretty put out when I didnt go & took him off my mum, he loves his Grammy. There so funny.

Amber you are right its amazing when you think about it how far they've come I wonder what they'll both be up to next year.

Jaymes I know how hard that must be for you all but if her health is declining its the kindest thing to do but such a hard choice to make. How old is she? You've given her a happy and wonderful home.

 

[hoping:)]

Mel- yep. pretty sad I just keep telling myself at least she and Tim have a good relationship. She loves playing with her daddy and he has so much fun with her as well. He is a big kid himself so they are good little play mates I guess she is already turning into a daddy's girl. sigh. She does still choose me when she needs to be comforted or have any of her basic needs met.

Jaymes- I'm so sorry. I know how much she meant to you being your "1st baby" and all. Its hard but she gave you all some really good memories and will no longer be in pain

 

[msarkozi]

Jaymes...I'm so sorry

Luce - that is funny! they sure are funny little things....always good for a laugh

oh I bet Penny will have daddy wrapped for sure. I think girls learn that as soon as they are born lol! It's funny because I always told Gord that Kash would be a mama's boy (as that's how it usually is), and he totally is.....unless dad has food of course lol!

 

[Jaymes]

My DH is a total numbers guy... Last night we were lying in bed talking about memories of Pluto, when out of the blue he says "Thursday we'll have had Plu for 12 years and 12 days..." It took me about 10 minutes to process that, but then I had to ask him how he knew and how on earth he remembered the exact date we'd gotten her. His reply was "dunno, that's just the way I think I guess.." Is there any significance in the number 12?

Thanks for all the comments. It has been hard, she was our first baby, and for awhile I was in the mindframe that we wouldn't put a family member down for something like this... but then I came to realize that any more surgeries would give her a few more months at best, and most likely only cause her more pain. It hurts my heart, but I think I'd make the same choice for myself, I wouldn't want my last days to be more plentiful if I couldn't enjoy them.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Oh jaymes I'm so sorry

Hi girls, sorry ive not popped in! Now back at the in-laws and life sucks!! I hate this bloody situation! I have no idea when/if we'll move to the house together! I'm stressed!
Kids are okay, had to take pops to a&e yesterday after a bad fall got had swelled massively and was black from brushing, it's not broken though thank god! Zac's sleeping terribly and I hope it pasts quickly, I need my energy!x

 

[vickyd]

Jaymes so sorry you have to say goodbye to pluto.... I cant imagine how you are feeling! I sometimes think about having to make such a decision for Popi and i cant stop crying...

Sass my heart goes out to you...Living with the inlaws is terrible and the 6 months i did it was the worst time of my life. Hope you get sorted as quickly as possible...Oh and poor pops!! Hero has had her share of A&E visits too and everytime is just as scary as the first...

AFM, things are really stressful in Greece. They keep increasing tax and making salary cuts everywhere but at the same time everything gets more expensive. Come the end of the month we are broke and i fish around for change for bus fare. Although my pay hasnt been cut yet im worried its only a matter of time as this week they management lowered the overtime pay by 25%. I never got paid for overtime anyway so it doesnt affect me but i keep worrying that they will implement more cuts. Im tired of worrying about money all the time...

 

[Dazed]

Jaymes - I'm so sorry hun. My heart goes out to you and your family. I think it has to be the second hardest thing in life to let an beloved pet go.

Vicky - God dammit! You should just move honestly. I don't think its going to get better anytime soon. I would love to visit greece, but now I just keep thinking its a bad idea with everything going on over their. BTW - loved the FB post of the government wanker.

 

[vickyd]

Dazed dont worry about visiting Greece, its safe although you might walk all the way up to the acropolis and find it closed due to some strike. Go to the islands, you wont notice anything there lol!!

Everyday i think about moving and everyday i say, hang in there a bit longer. Im so torn and cant make up my mind on whats the best choice of action. I hate living in this uncertainty but i guess im not strong enough to just pack up and go.....

 

[Dazed]

For me, the uncertainty would be enought to move. Especially if it has the potential to change how your family copes.

 

[vickyd]

You are definately right Dazed. However, i think my hesitation to move again stems from the fact that up until know every 10 years i moved to another country. It was always hard and right when i was feeling settled i had to do it all over again. Obviously if things carry on like this much longer i wont have a choice i guess....

 

[msarkozi]

Sorry about your situation Sassy! I hope it goes quickly for you and everyone is able to get along for the time being. Glad Poppy is ok, and I hope Zac starts sleeping better for you.

How you doing today Jaymes?

Vicky - that would be very stressful. I understand too about wanting to try and stick it out and not move...only if you have to kind of thing. Canada is a great choice though

 

[Jaymes]

It's been a rough day. I ended up calling the vet yesterday and asking if we should reschedule for yesterday. He agreed that with her having breathing issues and a rattle in her chest it was for the best. So we ended up saying goodbye last night.

I've been walking around kind of lost, feeling sad and then remembering why and tearing up...

I had my Dr appt today. Still no date for my section. Sigh...

 

[LucyJ]

Vicky so sorry you are having to live in such unsettled scary times it must be hard not knowing whats going to happen. Worry about money take it out of you Steves had a lull in work and its scary not knowing whether he'll have work next week or not sometimes I hate him being self employed at theres no real security. Hope your pay doesnt change.

Sassy hope poppys is ok and things at the inlaws arent to bad, hopfully it will go quickly for you.

Jaymes

Dazed how are you?

Benjamin has 7 teeth only thought he had 5 I was tipping him upside down yesterday and noticed to little teeth just poking through at the top either side knew one had come through at the front but not the side ones towards the back poor little boy no matter his sleep as been off and hes not been eating much the last few days. His appitite is back and hes much happier

 

[Dazed]

Oh Jaymes. I'm so sorry hun.

Dazed how are you?

I'm good most days. Hormones are getting the best of me this cycle. Feeling kinda lonely lately, but again, I think its the hormones.

I just want you all to know that I am always cheering you on and I actually stalk daily. Just occasionally keeping up with my journal and stalking away.

 

[Sparkly]

So sorry about your furbaby Jaymie The video made me well up, she was obviously in pain, but not an easy decision to make xxx

Hope everyone else is well
