Once your children reach a certain age you dont see Mums to chat and socialise with, which is why we started this. Its good fun and I would definately recommend it.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074168748281297290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379689495042032873.post-49311876837667371032014-06-27T04:19:32.646-07:002014-06-27T04:19:32.646-07:00Sounds like things are looking up a bit.....

Women need other women - for a laugh, to bitch about their husbands and kids ....but mostly to lean on. Is there a club, quilting group, gym or some hobby group that you can join for a bit of " me" time ? I'm sure it would make a difference.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379689495042032873.post-72300194817919637092014-06-26T22:58:35.521-07:002014-06-26T22:58:35.521-07:00You do seem to have a lot of things going on in yo...You do seem to have a lot of things going on in your life to cope with and I know just how hard it can all be especially for you being in a country so far from your motherland and your family. Our Nation Health Service is not always perfect (make that not often perfect) but at least we can get medical care for free - we have paid into it all our working lives of course but we don't have to worry about paying if we are ill or need care. I gather Mr Obama wants to introduce something like it in USA but it isn't always welcomed especially by those who have private health care paid for by their employers anyway! Husbands can sometimes drive us nuts even though we love them dearly - you are not alone with that one and perhaps the American character is different to the Ozzie one which would make it more difficult to deal with. All kids go through the wanties which can be wearing but do stick to your guns on that one and your son will grow up to thank you for the fact even if he never says so! Is there any possibility of finding another job? It's hard to spend time doing something that is wearing you down I know and lastly the neighbours - well that is a hard one I know from experience when our one time neighbours nearly drove me over the edge for different reasons but it did all work out in the end so hopefully something will come along to solve this one for you too. I know the feeling of going round in circles and to fear going down the hole in the middle if you know what I mean and so I do so empathise with you and wish that I could pop round for a chat and give you a hug. If you'd like a pen pal I'm here for you - I think of you daily when I see my little quilt hanging on my kitchen wall and would love to become a penfriend if you wanted me to. My thoughts are with you and I hope that your creativity and some soil beneath your fingers (not at the same time) will keep you going during this difficult time.Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.com
