Grandma - less and dodgy ribs...

Grandma caught the bus home today.
I think she had a good rest from Pop, who is getting forgetful and demanding!
He had a relative come and stay with him and keep him company, so it was all good.

I've been cranky and short fused all day.
Been in pain for the last five days or more.
Think I've cracked a rib.
Probably did it whilst spring cleaning, must've leant over something the wrong way I don't know how I did it.
It canes though!
Will go get it checked if it's no better tomorrow *sigh*
A bit annoying when you can't breathe, get up or down, cough or sneeze without pain.

Whinge whinge.....could be worse, but could be better too.

Getting nervous about driving to Hobart by myself (with Small Man for his appt) ALREADY! I'm going to have to just get over this. Small Man is a calm little co-pilot. So will be fine. I'm just a nervous driver, when I have NFI where I'm going, or what lane to be in and stuff!
Amazing what you will do for your kids, family and people you love.

Just a thought on motherhood.
From my own personal experience, you don't need to give birth to be a mother (ask my mum!).
There are so many children waiting for foster care, some for adoption in Aus, but many for adoption overseas.
I think a motherless child is as sad & tragic as a childless mother.
I would actually consider overseas adoption before having another child myself - seriously.
The feeling of not being wanted is not one you can put into words, but the feeling that you were chosen is something else!

Just my thoughts,
