Hi Ladies
Away for 2 days and hordes of posts to catch up on!!! Its so nice to read and see what you have all been up to its like I have another life on here!!!
Angie, sorry you are feeling so bad about your job right now, I hope it starts to get better soon....
So is DH now at home full time? Why does it take so long to file for medical disability it looks like it will take ages??
As for adoption being your path, we now have some amazing friends who adopted 2 of the children we fostered and the childrens lives have been transformed. They truly are one happy family who all love each other dearly, if you do definately decide to go down that path there is an amazing baby/child/children out there waiting for you or waiting to be born so they can come to you. Sorry if that sounds slushy
Rachel, only 13 weeks back at work for you, you will catch up with everybody and then be planning your time off again, it will go quicker than you think. Hope Ruby is all well in her next appointment, I really love that name by the way!
Miracle glad your first lecture went ok, I think I would be so amazed at hearing the tutors voice come out of the pc I would probably miss the first lecture all together!!
You must have a tremendous amount of discipline to be doing it all on line, I really believe that we do things in life in our own time and when we are ready to so all the shoulda, woulda, coulda thing doesn't matter your time is now!! You have loads more life experience now as well, so we have a lawyer in the making on our thread now!! We all know who to come to for advice in the future!!

Hi Becky thinking of you.........
Renee where are you? Hope your ok..........
Well we have had a complete turn around in our house!! I did ask our girly what she wanted the money for and she said did not know, it was just there, I didn't press it too much. She does have pocket money each week anyway. She has really low self esteem and self confidence. During our chat she said that her mum would blow up at her they would row, she would storm out of the house and then stay away for hours, come home to another argument and go to bed and the cycle would continue, she said her mum would tell everyone and then she would have to listen to the remarks everyone else had about how bad she was etc etc. So we decided that as she admitted it straight away we would not tell anyone and I would not record it in her notes, but if it happened again then we would have to speak with her social worker about it, she felt this was fair. We have left everything the same although we have counted the money Carolyn thanks for that one!! and we have left her in the house alone since with her friend and I did the you are responsible for your friends etc etc and looking after the house. WELL!!! she has been staying in and spending time with us, usually she is out most of the time, she has been eating with us and talking to us and at her review meeting yeaterday her and her mum started really communicating properly for the first time!! She is much lighter, the energy in the house has lifted completely and we have a different girly!!!
I am really glad this has happened now as although I felt on Sunday thats it this placement will not work now at the moment we have all come forward in huge steps, I know it will still have its ups and downs but I feel now our girly actually has a chance in life now to be the best she can be!!
