			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>well, its been quite a while since i have written a blog.i have been extremely busy with work. i dont get on as often as i would like.</p>
<p>i have had a few personal dramas as well. I found out 2 weeks ago i was pregnant. This has been a bad thing.i am on the pill to prevent falling pregnant, as just going fulltime with work, i cant afford it.</p>
<p>I was admitted to hospital on thursday with severe bleeding. i didnt miscarry,but the bleeding hasnt stopped.it gets worse, then lightens,then gets heavy again. </p>
<p>I have chosen to get an abortion. Besides the fact that we cant afford this baby, the doctor has suggested it for my own safety and well being. So, if i dont miscarry between now and friday, iam getting a termination.I am booked in for friday morning at the royal womens.</p>
<p>Please dont think i have made this decision lightly. there have been many tears, tantrums and mental anguish between myself and my partner. But we feel it is the best decision for us to make at this time in our lives.</p>
<p>I have asked for annonymous advice here on minti, where i have had overwhelming support. Thankyou to all those people, even if you didnt know it was me. When the time comes later down the track i am going to write an article to help others.no one should have to go thru a decision like this without the help and support they need.</p>
<p>Abortion is a HUGE thing, although a relatively common procedure these days. its still something that NEEDS to be talked about. I dont like to support abortion as a contraceptive.but for people who have the need for this operation in the safety of your own health,or people who know they will not be able to give the child the life they deserve. Who have protected themselves with contraception, but find themselves in my very predicament.</p>
<p>Im not sure if all this makes sense.i cant really think clearly or type clearly at the moment. Imjust gonna take it easy, and i will write when its allover</p>
<p>thanks for listening</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WELL, I HAVE JUST FIISHED. and what a week it has been. i worked 2-10pm all week, and it was flat out busy! im so exhausted but so proud of myself. it was my first week at work after being a stay at home mum. Darren is now the stay at home dad and im the working mum. its very hard having to leave kobe every day, but my partner needs a change, and i must admit, i LOVE the adult company. its hard work, and coming home to a bomn of a mess each night is hard, but im sure we will get into a routine eventually!</p>
<p>well im off to bed. need to rest, as we have play gym tomorrow. and im really looking forward to spending the weekend with dazz and kobe, ( and geordy too, my old&nbsp;puppy dog&nbsp;heheheh)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi everyone.</p>
<p>this is just gonna be me venting. im so annoyed, stressed and upset</p>
<p>dazz just cant be bothered looking for work. its really tearing me up. im applying for ervything under the sun, and he just cant be bothered. im getting to the point where i have gone back onto my depression tablets ( which i really didnt want to do) but i just dont know what to do</p>
<p>each time i try talk to dazz, he just yells at me &quot; leave me alone, i'll do it my way&quot; is all i hear. and his way is NO way, well thats what it seems like.</p>
<p>i just dont know what to do anymore. we are falling behind on rent and bills,and $400 a fortnight from centrelink just doesnt cut it! it just doesnt go far enough. we are really behind the 8ball, and although he says &quot; i know i know&quot; he just doesnt seem to want to do anything about it GGRRRRRR</p>]]></content:encoded>

As i have had previous management positions, she wanted to put me thru for the 2ic. i even met the actual owner/manager of the store, so im hoping thats a good thing! I said i was able to start immediately. so FINGERS crossed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi everyone. well, dazz and i have talked and have decided to both apply for full time jobs and who ever gets one first, goes to work.</p>
<p>i think it will be good for me to go back to work, after all being a stay at home mum for 2 years has been hard work, so a bit of change cant hurt, right?</p>
<p>my only concern is that i dunno if dazz would be able to handle Kobe full time! i admit he is good with him most the time, but when it comes to tantrums, nappies and vomit, he runs the opposite direction.</p>
<p>i suppose i will just have to try put my fears aside and give it ago! any advice would be appreciated!!</p>
