Frankie Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 I don't really understand why she would joke about something as important as this...although I suppose it could be related to the other moans you mentioned in your posts. I hope it all turns out OK Thanks, Jess. I guess she is just menopuasel(sp?). If your Mum is 42 she is unlikely to be menopausal for another 10 years yet...the average age of menopause these days is about 54! If you are not sure...ask her..... and tell its stressing you and you need to know!

Jess Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 LOL! Blame it on the hormones.... My mother actually wants another baby, mad person...is 5 not enough for her!?

But if she is having a baby, it does not mean the end of your world at all. If anything your parents will allow you to become your own person, as they will be busy with the nipper. They will not have the time and energy to keep tracks of you, and what you are doing. This is a break from your folks that you could take for yourself. The money situation will always work out, because if everyone waited until they could afford children, NOBODY would have them. I am sure it will all work out for you.
MarMar Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 12:23pm I woke up at 4:30am with itching arms and legs - the ringworm was acting up. Didn't manage to fall back to sleep, so I stayed up on the net while The Boyfriend was sleeping next to me. He got up at 6, made breakfast and went to work - and I fell asleep. Woke up at 10, or so, and had a text message from him telling me to call when I could. I rang him up and he said arya_the_cat had been taken to the vet and that her temperature was extremely high (41.3C - 106. 34F)! Worst message I've ever had. Worse then when we had to put Molly down, because, well.. she was old and clearly not in good shape whereas arya_the_cat was so happy and so social and so... kitty when we sat her last on Saturday. I just sat around till he called me again about 30-45 minutes later. She had been diagnosed with a pneumonia, but we shouldn't worry as it is very fixable with a bit of antibiotics. Phew! Now she's back home with lurvelille and hedgard, has been given some medicine and a new fancy extra nutritious food and fallen asleep. Medicine seems to be working already. We'll go and provide cuddle this afternoon. 11:19pm We went to see Arya this afternoon. Her fever were still very high, and after T left for sister and father's b-day party, it was up to 41.8 degrees celcius (107.4F). [info]lurvelille explained that a cat's temperature is app. 1-1.5 degrees celcius higher than a human's, but that it was still very high. It was time to call the vet. Towels was placed in the freezer and we moved her to a room where all the windows were wide open. She didn't want to eat or drink anything. After a few hours (2?) it was time for more antibiotics. She was a very good girl and swallowed everything. T. was getting really tired after a long day at work, so we left a few minutes before 11pm. When we got home, I got him to call [info]lurvelille. She had great news - she had left Arya and gone back to the kitchen, and then she heard tiny meows from the room. Arya had even walked over to the water and drunk from her bowl. A huge impovement from only 2-3 hours earlier! I'd be very grateful if you all can remember her in your prayers, or send good thoughts/vibes. Thank you.
Emmadolly Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Oh bless her, i hope she will be ok Mer. Cats are very resiliant (sp). You haven't even had her to live with yet, and your so close to her, and care about her so much. I am going away in the morning, and my new pup is coming with us. as we are going in our caravan. When i woke up this morning his eyes were sticky, and £40 later in the vets. He has a eye infection, and when the vet said what i already new, i started weeping like a child. As caring people to animals get affected by what they are going through. I would not of mentioned it, until i seen your post. As i would get upset, to late i have started crying.
Penie Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 ^^ Hope she is ok to Merc and you! LOL! Blame it on the hormones.... My mother actually wants another baby, mad person...is 5 not enough for her!? Same, my mums mad over babies. I hope my mums going through the menopause because she is driving me crazy. She goes around the house shouting and pointing out all the untidy bits and all the improvements that have never been done. It is her birthday today and she was shouting! She told me she hated me and it is weird i don't care. Can't wait for her to shut up (sorry if it sounds disrespectful but it is how i feel)!!
Emma_B Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 3 moans: Teenage life, Newly discovered family secret, potential addition to the family. Teenage life: Nothing works out for you, everything is impossible to do. Family Secret: Can't say, but it upset me. I didn't know it for 15 years! I just overheard last night... Potential New Addition to the family: Mum thinks that she is pregnant. I hope she isn't because she is 42, and I don't think that she would be able to cope. And if we did have another child, then he/she would arrive during my exams, which would put more stress on me. Also, we are not financally stable as it is, so a baby would take all the money. I'm so confuzzled right now. I agree whith what the others have said about the maybe-baby...find out asap if it is true, but it won't be the end of everything if it is. Family secret...same thing happened to me, and believe me mine is pretty horrific, I've never said it aloud and I never will. Sometimes that is the only way. I expect that is partly why you are feeling so confused about being a teenager, as well. Whatever it is, it can't change who you are, you're still the same person. Can you talk to someone about it, someone on the edge of the secret, i.e. not really involved? I'm sure to be mooching around, find me of you want to talk. My MSN is in my profile I think, or at least soon will be! *potters off to check* xxx ETA: I am sending the best of vibes to Arya the cat.
~Lynd~ Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 My moan is i have a massive headache,my head really hurts. I'm going back to bed,though it's only 11.10am.
Emma_B Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Aww, that's really rough. Mine is that I can't sleep - it's 2:10am! Feel better soon xxx
