I've just had a call from DH. Michaela is crying in the background. She's also coughing and has been vomiting. Dh found her in her bedroom with her chest of drawers lying on top of her and he just had to get off the phone so I have no idea what's happening. -------------

I agree completely! The problem is not knowing what's going on and whether to travel North (home) or South (to the hospital) Thankfully DH and Michaela just called back. She was trapped with the drawers on top of her legs (not her torso thank goodness). DH thinks the vomiting was due to getting so upset (not surprising) and although she's super cuddly and still sobbing she's also walking and keen for an iceblock. She should have some mean bruises tomorrow. She's promised not to climb her draws again (vain child was trying to look at herself in the mirror) but no doubt she'll forget about this incident soon enough. She fell off the top of our picnic table onto the concrete a couple of weeks ago promised not to do it ever again and then I caught her climbing up there again last night. Oh to have a girly girl who sits still and plays with dolls. -------------

Yes, thank goodness I bought a whole box of iceblocks recently (I normally don't). Although my first reaction was to sprint to the station and catch the first train home I've decided not to. As much as I'd love to go home and cuddle my little lass her father is the 2nd best person in the world to be with at times like this and she's over it now anyway chances are she wouldn't want me smothering her with kisses and cuddles plus it's nap time and no-one's going to thank me for keeping her up just so I can get my Michaela fix after that great big fright. I'm still prepared to pop home if for any reason she becomes sore or unsettled but at this stage I'm staying at work. On another note OMG look at your weight loss G - great work!! Maybe we should do lunch soon to celebrate -------------

Thats good news Jo that she is Ok kids are surprisngly resiliant.
Be thankful you are not in the same situation as friends of ours in the USA who have their liitle boy who is 18 months in a sipca cast thats one where its all one leg up to belly button and half way down the other leg with a meatl brace in between. the poor wee boy fell down some stairs and broke his femur. He will be like that to just before christmas, as you can imagine its been quite trying for them my heart goes out to them and if there was something i could do i would. They are just so far away. |

Oh gosh, that's awful! Your poor friends and their poor son. It's amazing how children can manage to damage themselves on everyday things (I think I've told people before about my nephew who had the tip of his finger chopped off by an oil heater) and yet sometimes they manage to come out unscathed when you're sure they're bound to have really hurt themselves this time. Gah kids - who'd have them -------------

Jo , Caitlyn is a "girly girl " and plays with dolls, ...a lot of the time her dolls like to climb high trees and stand precariously , being held up in said high tree by my child, while I watch below, my heart in my throat .
Being a working mum really sucks at times, Im always dreading phone calls from my mum or C's school to tell me C's sick , especially when i dont feel i can leave work because i'll be made to feel guilty , people may say just leave, but easier said than done . Especially if your employers are crazy . As mine are . -------------

I really wanted to be home today too, Jo! I think it must be partly summer and close to Christmas break that makes it worse - and/or pg hormones
I'm glad your DD is okay. I know what you mean though: my eldest and youngest are the girly girls. Briona is more interested in accessories and pinks than the other two but she is so busy!!! She bangs her feet against the wall in her bedroom when winding down for bed   - but anyway she locked herself in the toilet the other day (with a slide bolt lock) and DH had to coach her how to unlock it herself. I'm almost betting it's gonna happen again: she's the type who would think "I got out of it ok last time, I'll be ok" but the others would be like, "I hated being stuck like that, I'm not going to lock it ever again!". LOL the diversity in one family.------------- |
