Just call me Rose.

'Cause I might do some rambling.

I had to post some more pictures of the Dan boy with the little ones. Just look at how they gaze at him!! I'm sure it has nothing to do with him taking them out and buying remote control cars and planes and then spending hours playing with them outside. It is sweet to the soul to see my children be like this together.

He's gone home now and left behind a general feeling of happiness that he was here. It was particualry good for me to see him this time. The therapy I have been having has made me see so many things more clearly, Dan is OK, he isn't damaged or sad or troubed by the events of his childhood. He is a joy to be around but he isn't perfect. He is human, he swears too much, he is still painfully untidy ( one of these days I will turn up unexpected at his flat and see if his own home is still immaculate or if it was knowing I was coming to visit that made him pull out all the stops!!)He is still very, very nice. Great that everyone is so pleased to see him and enjoys having him around.

Next subject please......

If I want advice, I will ask for it. I will ask my mum or my doctor, perhaps a friend or health visitor. I have been known to ask my Bishop what I should do or say or how I should act.
I have never written to an agony Aunt. Why would I ask a stranger who doesn't know me what I should do in any situation? The same goes for my blog.
I write some of what I feel. Sometimes I am flippant. Occassionally I am morose, miserable, depressing. Often I am funny, sarcastic, irreverant.
It's my blog and I'll write what like and I'll keep to myself what I choose to keep to myself.
I don't need people I don't know telling me what mistakes I am making. Shut up. Go away.
I don't want to know , quite frankly, if you don't like me or disagree with me. Don't leave your anonymous comments, tell me your name and why you think you know better than me. ( If you must, can't promise I will give a monkey's nipple, but hey, tell me if you think it will make a difference.It will make a difference if you have more children than me, with a bigger age spread,who have the same special needs as mine,if you have been a single parent for 10 years and if you now have a husband like mine and live the same life as me but have done everything right and made no mistakes, in that case don't leave a comment, move in and show me how you do it, please.)Just because you read my blog doesn't for a moment mean you know the ins and outs of my whole life, truy it doesn't.
Advice is good, by all means say something like " Hey Helen, have you thought about........" Or " I wonder if ....might be a good idea"
For heavens sake don't leave a comment that reads like a holier than thou, what do you expect because you are stupid, kind of deal. All that does is annoy me and I don't need annoying. I have toddlers who have tantrums, 4 year olds who have clothing issues, 5 year olds who think they are 19, teenagers who think they are adults, a husband who likes his underwear folded a certain way and who doesn't like Big Brother. I have chocolate that I can't eat. I am annoyed enough. My blog is my escape. GO AWAY unless you think I am completely fantastic. Thankyou.
