The ACC assessor finally came today and I got such a surprise. Our home help is going from 8 hours a day down to 1 1/2 (nearly would have been 1 but I didn't think that was enough). What a shock! This is more what I was expecting except for the telephone discussion I had last week (which I put on here).
So now I have to wean the girls off Lorna, I think it's going to be hard as they have formed something of a grandmother relationship with her.  -------------  |

Wow that is a big reduction. I can remember what it was like for me when mum had the home help. The lady we had was just like a second mum (almost grandmother) as she was at our place when we woke up and was there until we went to bed that night. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

You were pretty angry with her a couple of weeks back and now sad to see her go! Sure you aren't pregnant again? Hehehe  ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Hehe Peace well my tummy is getting a little bigger but I suspect that's all the sitting down and eating  
We got things straightened out from when she was doing things all wrong, and I got used to her being in my personal space (it's been a month now!). But a lot of what I was struggling with was my "new" identity with the kids. I've come to be able to "accept" her being around now, that's for sure. Here's a pic I took of her and the girls yesterday (I'm going to use it to make her a thank you/goodbye card in 4 more weeks' time but she doesn't know that)  ------------- |

LOL I think the doll actually is part of Briona's arm  That photo was taken 1/2hr before Briona went to bed, she's looking a bit tired and sucking her tongue (doubled up).------------- |
