Oh dear. I hope that things get better that daisyson is ok.
Oh Daisymum! Crackers to a muddle day! How on earth you coped is beyond me...then again... us big families just DO dont we. (Like we have a choice) Its just the end of the year muddle, we all have to cope with the same muddle sometime or another. Hope all Daisy children can read this post one day when they have children of their own and think how lucky they are to have a mum like you.
Putting on anntenna and sending you energy vibes.

Dear DaisyMum
Phew, what a day you had! Hope everything is going okay for DaisySon20. A glitch in the well oiled machine of life (such as an illness) throws you out of whack pretty quick, doesn't it. But we manage, we all get in there and 'do' what needs to be done. Sounds like your family all rallied round and helped where they could.
Same thing happened to me in Dec. 06. Hubby's dad became ill very quickly, was hospitalised and passed away 1 week later. We were in the final week of school with masses, concerts, shared teas and to top it off we were having a new accounting system installed at our dealership so I didn't know if I was arthur or martha at work or at home! We had to farewell him in Adelaide where he passed away, then organise a funeral, still go to work and it was great that family rallied around and took the kids to things, made us meals etc.
The family network is a wonderful thing in a small town.
Hope things settle down for you soon,
Cheers - Joolz
oh dear

i hope daisy son is ok today
Dear DaisyMum, You are an amazement to me. What a crazy day for you...a juggling act and emotional roller coaster to be sure! Yet your humor and good sense shine through. You are a pleasure to know. The next time I have a braided day like that (and I've had my share :) I will think of you and offer up a prayer for all the blessed souls who have been charged with the care of others. Wishing you a few days of quiet and peace to balance out the other. Good thoughts to you and yours.
Warmly,
Tracey
P.S.Prayers to Daisyson20 for perfect healing. My brother had the sinus surgery last year and he's so happy he did, his constant infections have all but ceased. xo
That was a day and a half! I found your blog through Bron's (Cacatua) and am enjoying it very much. Hope things have settled down a bit for you today.
