I have moved myself and the children to different cultures and I have found out that yes, that old hippy wisdom really is true - find yourself and happiness within yourself and it will work out. Even though it might be hell right now, it will get better as long as you realise (which you have) that chasing butterflies isn't going to help. It's a horrible feeling to be so far away from all that you know and be chucked into a place where you don't understand anything - but at some point you 'get' the new place and feel proud of yourself :-)<br />Don't start smoking, it doesn't help anything and is crap to give up. Take one day at a time and don't be afraid to give up the idea and go home either - there's no prizes for heroism in this parenting lark. <br />Wishing you and yours all the best, ElliRuralDiversityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800319329191182398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-68697387032455391912010-07-24T15:21:15.296-07:002010-07-24T15:21:15.296-07:00hi ladybird cook, you are welcome here, and i hope...hi ladybird cook, you are welcome here, and i hope there is always something to keep you amused!Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-18886262250155525332010-06-29T08:33:50.774-07:002010-06-29T08:33:50.774-07:00I've just been pointed towards your blog by so...I've just been pointed towards your blog by someone who home eds her kids, she said she thinks I'll like it.<br />Now I've read some, I'm sure I don't know what she means *whistles innocently*<br />I nearly pee'd myself reading this at work, I'll have to be more careful in future :-)RuralDiversityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800319329191182398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-41483416828045491882010-05-21T04:03:28.274-07:002010-05-21T04:03:28.274-07:00hello people, thank you for all your kind comments...hello people, thank you for all your kind comments. i am humbled by them.<br /><br />in brief, because sunshine madness has gripped me and the gritlets demand a pool:<br /><br />Dig is not editor, although that can be counted amongst his many talents.<br /><br />Dig went to boarding school. at first i thought that was a horrific idea, and my heart was tender. now, i think it could be counted as a positive learning experience and my heart is hard.<br /><br />Sadly, I would make all the same decisions all over again. And in the same errors of judgement.<br /><br />I can't ever recall an early rise time. We used to put hundreds of books along the sides of their cots. Everything from Postman Pat to Gray's Anatomy. That was not to foster a love of books. That was to block out the light.<br /><br />Yes, we do not own the middle of the house, which makes living odd. I dare not blog about them in case they sue.

Gin and Lavender bloody expensive Luxury Dairy Ice Cream <br /><br />Once I got home I remembered that it was a dairy product and as such I couldn't give it to someone who tries hard to be vegan. Bit like offering someone a cigarette when they're trying to give up. So I still have it (as I don't like gin) and it is still in my freezer. It has a BBD of 7th April 2009.<br /><br />Eventually some poor sod will raid the freezer, find it and eat it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672124413416292432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-82051791234084246352010-05-20T03:48:10.969-07:002010-05-20T03:48:10.969-07:00who is michelle???who is michelle???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-199192123934332082010-05-20T03:22:34.444-07:002010-05-20T03:22:34.444-07:00I cannot come every day, but whenever I do, I go a...I cannot come every day, but whenever I do, I go away chuckling.
