OH THE JOYS OF PARENTHOOD

WE got a bit of a fright yesterday after getting a phone call to say our son Steven was repeatedly blacking out and could not stand up ... so we raced over to his flat and called an ambulance... and off to the hospital we went. The upshot is his Postural Hypertension was sent into overdrive due to him being over stressed.... his engagement broke up then he crashed their car ! So he's a bit messed up, not eating, not looking after himself at all. I am going to try and convince him to come home again and move to Auckland with us, he needs to start again ....

Stew flies back to Auckland this morning.... he will be missed.

Especially by our little man, who wouldn't leave his Dad alone all weekend.

Today:

- Stew to airport

- pick up prescription for the son

- Go buy sewing machine!

- do some bloody housework, the house is a tip!

I have had a very successful morning:

I have ordered my new machine, will be here this afternoon.

I bought Brylee new jammies (forgot I could SEW them!).

Got some more patchwork material and new sewing scissors ( God help any bugger who dares cut out paper or cardboard or wire with them!)... and a pattern for a top! OOOO FUN.

And I bought 2 pair of jeans (cheapies) to wear until I get my bum a decent size again! They are a size 14, which ain't that bad, but I want to be a 12 again one day (this year?). Weird, when I was a size 28 all I dreamed about was being a size 14... seems you are never happy eh? LOL

ALSO made an appointment at the doctor's for Steve (he needs help) and myself ... well they told me they wanted to see me, my iron levels are still far too low.... OH JOY, MORE IRON TABLETS I BET. Fucking wonderful! later....

End of Day: a neat day actually.... been busy.

NSV: stayed on track today after quite an up and down weekend food-wise. nite nite.
