It's been a while

Comment Published at 23:4323:4313 comments13 comments29 Visits29 VisitsReport

Well were do I start. A week and a half ago Matt flew out for the UK. All day Friday I cried, poor Sophie didn't know what to think. She kept say" mummys crying". Then she would get upset and say "I want daddy" which made it even worse.

I'm glad he went away as absence does make the heart grow fonder. And in my case it really has. I miss he so much. I have had to keep busy so I don't have to think about it all day

I went out with my friends on the weekend for my birthday(a week early) gee it was great we didn't get home until 4.30am, I was stuffed the next day. Mum took Soph and I down south for 4 days, it was nice and peaceful. But it's always goo to get back to own house. Sophie's birthday was on the Monday while we were there, didn't really celebrate it as we had already before Matt left. My birthday was on Saturday, started off lovely until the terriable 13 year old spoilt it. God she can be a pain. I ended up sending her back to her mums for the day and night. I tell ya she is a hard one. Speaks to me like a piece of crap and telling me 'NO I'M NOT' and yelling some times I told to go to her mums and there is no computer, foxtel or mobile.She really does my head in. I have the girls this week and she starts again then she can stay at her mums till Matt comes home. She even started a bit this morning and went back and layed in bed, I had to tell her to get up and get ready for school. I'm a bit over her.

I know it's hard when your dad is away, but hay I think we are all in the same boat. This have been going on for 2 years now, so I don't think it's hormonal anymore. She just likes to put everyone in a bad mood.

Any way I must run and pick the kids up from school

Only 6 sleeps till Matt comes home. Hooray

Take care everyone

Re: It's been a while

Oh DARN!!  Missed two special Birthdays?? Well Happy Birthday and they are not just an other day..they celebrate making it through this life to rangle yet an other year! You should celebrate it with joy! Bet you did for Sophie!! Happy Birthday Sophie!!!

So sorry you have troubles with Rebbeca,wonder what the reason is??  I have had the best time with teens,mine and lots of others. Sullen disrespectful behaviour is not the norm, she's just entering the teens,hope you can get a handle on it all before there is trouble.  I wish you loads of luck there,breaking through can be tough but so worth the efforts in the end!

Have tons of fun welcoming back Hubby!!!

Hi Lynette,

It's so hard to visit everyone, I forget to. Birthdays are just another day now, and not having matt here was really weird, but I did get a card from the UK from him

 Dear Trace, your such a gem of a friend....you have enough woe's going on in your own life.... yet you still take the time to  check in on me. Sweet it  will be a pleasure to do a 6 day countdown with til Matt comes home....your so right  absence does make the heart grow fonder....i am thrilled to hear that, that side of things are going well for you once more...you had me concerned.

Trace sorry to hear that your having problems with the step daughter...a couple of my friends who have step children, seem to have the same troubles....is there any difference when Matt  is home, if not,  does he step in at all?

Oops missed your birthday  and also  Sophie's....sorry sweetie...but thrilled to hear that you had a lovely night out, you sure deserved it.

Love Janice xxxxx

Wishing you both belated birthday wishes.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder........hopefully this time is just what you both need.

Teenagers are the pits aren't they, especially girls, or so I'm told.......lol. I hope she looses the attitude soon or at least learns how to deal with it herself. I think that attitude on it's own can be a good thing but learning when and how to use it is the tough part especially for teenagers with so many other emotions and hormones going on. Good Luck!!!!!

Oh Trace it was great to hear from you. I was getting abit worried since it was so long since we hear from you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Trace
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!

and we also have

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Soph
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!

What did Sophie get for her birthday?
I hope things are going ok with you and Matt, it is good that absence makes the heart grow fonder! Its a shame about your daughter-in-law being a pain for you, thats the last thing you need right now, but be strong, at least you can send her to her mums and she doesnt live like a 1000kms away or something!
hugs Trace.

Nothing worse than a moody, sulky 13 year old, been there done that and still go tthe battle scars LOL

Mind you my daughter was like this from the age of about 6 weeks !!!!!!!! She is pretty special now and I wouldn't change a thing but we do even now she is 20 have to stand back and watch the rocket go off LOL

But she is also the most loyal and loving daughter I could ever wish for
