What were your BEST and WORST parts of the week?

Do you like this story?

bw What were your BEST and WORST parts of the week?BEST: Loving my kids stupid at the moment. As I tweeted the other day: They make my heart soar. And sore.

WORST: A fight with someone very close to me over something silly. We sorted it out but it threw me for a couple of days until we did.

Sending strength and support to everyone in the MM community going through tough times….

    Thank you for your reply. Well I have started taking medication. Went to a great doctor who has referred me to a good counsellor so hopefully things will be on the improve really soon.

    Thanks again xox

    Disagree, Anna. The mother should have let Jess know about the polo thing – at least so she could dress appropriately. Although, thinking about it, maybe if Jess had showed up to/for the polo in her jeans, Mother would have preferred that as it would mark her as the employee? I’d tell her to jam it too.

    That would be so cool if it was the same people! You’ll have to try and figure it out, Kass!

    Good luck at your friend’s funeral, Eloise. In my limited experience, the worst bit is the time between them dying and the funeral. Thinking of you.

    I love that your daughter has made a new friend, Ggirl! What a great feeling for everyone! I hope it continues, and good on her for approaching her new friend while you were out. How exciting and uplifting!

    Re your work worst – Doesn’t it drive you insane when people don’t ask if they don’t know? I got told off by my old boss in the navy for asking too many questions, because no-one else felt the need to. I responded with “Well, Chief, maybe I am the only one with the guts and the thought to ask questions”. He had no response for that. I’m lucky that I am quite happy to sound like an idiot if I don’t understand something or if I think others don’t. God it would make work easier if people just bloody said “Hey, can you show me that again because I’m not 100% on what I am supposed to do”. I love mostly working on my own now, it rocks.

    I fought going on meds for months, but when I did – OH. MY. GOD. So much better. Ongoing counselling helped, and I am off them atm, but know when I need to start popping them. The best way to look at it (I found) was its like any other ongoing medication – the chemicals in your brain should be at a certain level, but for some reason they’re not, so you need to take them in pill form to get them there. Hope your feeling better soon. **HUGS**.

    teddy bear,
    the dahhling wasn’t to you, sorry if that came out rudely, it was more directed to the mothers out there, speaking like that! I definitely see both sides to the debate! I guess it was a real build up of years of being pulled here and there (of course as bad, but kind of resembling a slave)! anyway, i’m hanging up my babysitting boots now, time to get into my career in media and communications. Looking after bubs was something I fell into for cash but ended up falling for all the cute little bubs and getting stuck in a rut. So its time to hand the job over to girls (and guys) whose heart is in it and will do the job properly, while I go full steam ahead with my career! I will not turn down the odd babysitting job but ill cut down my hours so I can be a happy, flexible (within reason) babysitter

    Jess

    Gosh, thank God they don’t have those ‘body definitions’ these days – that’s just gross! Now you can choose from Slim, Athletic, Average, Slightly Overweight, and Large-ish (to describe both yourself and ideal partner). All fairly respectful I think. :)

    I haven’t noticed any leaderboards either! But then, I pretty much just log in to suss out my new ‘kisses’, I don’t get too involved with the other site features.

    AJ, that was my fourth date on Sunday – each with a different guy (although I’ll probably see Sunday dude again, he was really nice so I’m happy to give it another go although I suspect he’s not really my type). I came out of a 7-year relationship last year, so it had been a LONG time since I’d had a date, I wasn’t sure what to expect at all. Each of the guys has been very nice, respectful, polite, and pleasant. I think the odds of connecting with someone you’ve chosen to meet based only on a photo and a short profile are pretty slim, but my mum and stepdad met on RSVP so I know it can definitely happen!

    I’m thinking though that you’d have to be really open to dating lots of people, if you want to find someone special. First of all, a lot of people just don’t look anything like their photos. And secondly, when I think back over the guys I’ve been attracted to in my life, I probably wouldn’t have given their photos a second glance. It’s all about chemistry in person! I’ve actually been thinking of suggesting to RSVP that they introduce a ‘Webcam Profile’ option – at least then you could hear the person’s voice and catch their ‘vibe’.

    I think I’ll be extremely lucky to find a ‘boyfriend’ online. To be honest, I’m still hoping it’ll just happen in day-to-day life!
