Please don't feel that you need to justify your purchases. What you decide to spend your money on is your business. We all would love to have a money tree in the backyard.<br />Keep in contact with your son via text and skpe and like all of us, keep sending positive thoughts his way.<br /><br />Don't be to hard on yourself, you are a terrific, loving person.<br /><br />Carol Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262616301390588289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-9337833488355633272012-08-14T21:48:05.863+12:002012-08-14T21:48:05.863+12:00How neat to read Griffin had an awesome sleepover ...How neat to read Griffin had an awesome sleepover Griffin and Stew may need a holiday when camp is over just to CATCH up!! camps yes they can knock the stuffing out of you thats for sure!blondie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17508560060006389413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-53569692567202363832012-08-14T21:46:30.794+12:002012-08-14T21:46:30.794+12:00I hope Bodhi and Tess are now on the road to mendi...I hope Bodhi and Tess are now on the road to mending, babies can get sick very quickly and bounce back quickly too, family always come first for you and that will never change I hope tomorrow there is better news for all concerned.blondie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17508560060006389413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-71529583026035906302012-08-14T20:47:41.703+12:002012-08-14T20:47:41.703+12:00Hang in there Chris, you're a fantastic Mum, a...Hang in there Chris, you're a fantastic Mum, a devoted grandma...and your heart is huge. <br />Your little Aussie family know how you love them and if they really needed you with them YOU would find your way there...that I know.<br />Love to all, hope G and S have a great time at camp.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000062075347416626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-92056783496032994132012-08-14T19:48:31.219+12:002012-08-14T19:48:31.219+12:00You must be so worried about your family.

I don't know where some people get off giving their 10 cents worth and make it $20 -about what, how, when and why...but if you had $5 for every criticism I have seen over the years, it would be "first class" travel all the way. I understand we all have an opinion, but too much we hide behind the written/text word and not enough of the face to face stuff. I bet not even a tenth of that which you seem to get on your blog would ever be said to your face.<br /><br />For once, Lacy, you rock!! (Congrats on Keera, a gorgeous wee bubba, am totally jealous btw). Well said and I hope everyone takes it to heart. <br /><br />If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all folks. I bet if it was you(well some of you) in a similar situation...well I just bet you wouldn't handle it with half of the "diplomacy" Chris is showing. <br /><br />If you don't agree with what she is saying, don't read her damn blog!!<br /><br />Best wishes to Bohdi and the family, fingers, arms, legs and eyes crossed (gorgeous pic is it not)...for a speedy recovery.<br /><br />Michele in the sunny Manawatu :-)<br /><br />PS. Probably haven't said half of what I would like to, but I am sure half of the criticism you get is because they (some readers) are just plain jealous. Your honesty about yourself and your circumstances be they good,bad or otherwise is refreshing ...love to you allxxxxxxxxxx<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-67241805100039491102012-08-14T18:28:04.880+12:002012-08-14T18:28:04.880+12:00I'm really sorry to hear that Bodhi isn't ...I'm really sorry to hear that Bodhi isn't well at the moment Chris - but pleased that he is in the best place to get the care he needs right now. I hope that he's home healthy and well very soon.<br /><br />As for the not so positive comments today Chris - ignore them. It doesn't take a genius to see how much you love your family - and that you will do whatever you can to support them. Never feel that you have to justify your spending to anyone - that's totally your business. From where I sit, a lot of your purchases are for the benefit of others you care about anyway - so just another one of the kind ways you help look after others. Kia kaha Chris (stay strong!).Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670323685547211097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-29540316837497785112012-08-14T16:59:40.121+12:002012-08-14T16:59:40.121+12:00Hi Chris,

Try not reacting to it on your blog and just laugh at the comments. Aside from being in the same country, what more support can you give being in Perth anyway? They know you care and would be there if you could. Take a deep breath and ignore the comments, or don't blog and then you won't have to deal with it. Seems more trouble than happiness sometimes. <br />Love ya and keep posting baby pics!! Lacy's little one is a cutey!!

Yay for technology so you can keep in touch so well. <br /><br />I don't usually buy into comment stuff but I would ask everyone to realise that Chris is stressed to the max with worry and I'm sure she has considered every option to get over to Oz so suggestions and comments on her financial status are not helping. If you think you really have some helpful advice (like anon from Oz) then keep it till Bodhi is better and email it to her privately IF SHE ASKS FOR IT.<br /><br />Off my soap box. Sorry Chris. But it was doing my head in seeing you so distressed.sparklingmerlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600695778999486566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-42539971594817284292012-08-14T15:11:17.600+12:002012-08-14T15:11:17.600+12:00Thanks - big hugs Chris!Thanks - big hugs Chris!Pinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134448078666185978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-23845905443542252172012-08-14T15:04:08.874+12:002012-08-14T15:04:08.874+12:00Oh she is looking so cute!!!!

And Lacy I know that you are defending your mother but there are a lot of readers who have helped your mum through things over the years, who have reached out and given advice. No-one is blaming her for not being able to go, no one is attacking her. And she's a big girl, she can stand up for herself!crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359870139026889309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-1551833045808939612012-08-14T14:39:10.683+12:002012-08-14T14:39:10.683+12:00Sorry Chris meant to put my sign of to the taking ...Sorry Chris meant to put my sign of to the taking the camera on<br />Well isn't Miss K just so alert.She so georgeous<br />MaryH Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-83475436860257556542012-08-14T14:37:05.780+12:002012-08-14T14:37:05.780+12:00If you can't, Chris, you just can't, no ma...If you can't, Chris, you just can't, no matter how much you want to.

You buy things you want and don't think about tomorrow, same with food you eat to please yourself and then wonder why you are unhappy with health and wait. We all do this to a certain extent, me included, but just stop the denial and really look at what you are doing. It is times like this that teach us all that we need savings for a rainy day more than a pretty vase, or lunch out at the mall (the biggest money waster of all eating out!)
