The Not So Good, Good Friday
Here I am moaning again... today certainly has had it's ups and downs..
My oldest daughter has been suffering with severe earache, which she's pretty much stuck with until Tuesday unless it clears up by itself, as the Dr's are closed for Easter. Regular paracetamol is helping though. It's not an infection but more of a slight damage caused by sticking a cotton bud in too far! Be warned! I just hope she's not done anything serious.
My youngest daughter left late afternoon to drive back down to Brighton as she has a part time job (as well as uni) and is on the rota for tomorrow. However after she'd been gone for about 40 minutes she called saying she was broken down.. she rang RAC and they said there would be a 2 and half hour wait for someone to come and rescue her, she was very upset and crying which was difficult to listen too as I felt totally useless.
Amazingly, the RAC guy turned up after about 35 minutes, checked her car over and got her started, advising her to get some work done on it as soon as possible, so she drove back home to us instead of her original destination of Brighton as it was the nearer. Just hope her manager will understand when she calls to say she wont be in tomorrow!
Neither of these things are really "my problem" and the girls are no longer babies - 20 and 24, but it's amazing how whatever happens to them has such an upsetting affect on me..
Anyway, hoping the rest of the weekend will be a little less fraught!

No matter how old they get, our children are always our babies :) Have a wonderful weekend.
My oldest is 14 and I still call her my baby. I hope the weekend gets better for all of you. :o)
Once a mum, always a mum! Mine are not "out" yet; my girl is 18 and my boy 13, but I can imagine that the involvement and worry won't change. Btw, chopped garlic in olive oil always worked for my kid's earaches. Just soak some cotton wool in it and plug the ear.
Cor! They get everywhere...will be on my guard!
Happy Easter to you too!
A tad cold here cos the central heating is down. Hopefully hubby will get home soon and fix it! Bless!
I am not a Mum but I am an Auntie, and there's one thing I know for sure. Every moment of that childs life that is not blissful and stress free will be a torment to me.
And I'll probably find some things to worry about through the good times too! I believe this to be akin to parental love. It is unique.
