Virtual shove and pushing.

Everyday living
1

Don has prompted me to write this post.

In times past and I’ve needed a bit of kit or a new magic potion, or an activity to get me through the really difficult days and I’ve put all my hope into that thing making me feel better, only to find it hasn’t done the trick, then I’ve come crashing down to earth feeling worse than before!

So I’ve cursed, sulked, and moped around. I’m someone who does see her glass half full the majority of the time.

It can take a hell of a lot of delving to find the old Poll, beneath the swollen feet, bashed toenails, twitching legs, wet nix and low self esteem.

But you know if we really don’t want to give up the ghost, then it’s worth one more big push!!!

Like getting that baby out of its womb…Us ladies know how it hurts like chuff!

One more push and you’ve got that squishy little person in your arms!

I do apologise to anyone this may have offended.

Love Pollx

Not offended me at all Poll. I’m with you 100%

Sorry Poll but I can’t see you giving up the ghost. You and I are true battlers and I very often give myself a kick up the bottom. Mind you that’s getting hard to do now. Might have to ask someone else to do it for me.

Poll,

I would like to think that the vast majority of us here will never be offended by your honest “no nonsense” approach.

I (and many others will) empathise with the feelings you express, sometimes I even feel that I need to understand (if not embrace) the crappy stuff so that I get far more appreciation of the good bits.

As a bloke I have no idea about ejecting squishy little persons but you gave me pause for thought and for that I thank you.

I really hope that you get to giggle at the silly stuff again soon.

All the best Mick

Hello lovely Poll

I also have no experience with birthing any kind of creature, squishy or otherwise, despite being of the appropriate gender.

I do know that however positive a person may be on the surface, there are also moments of despair and soul crushing depression.

It’s having people like you around who can help drag us out of deep down lows. So anytime you need a helpful shove, just let me know.

whaaa

i have developed a tendency to misread stuff.

virtual shave? what the heck is poll shaving?

sorry chicken, it’s the insanity that does it.

last week my youngest was 28.

every year on the 1st march i relive his birth - what a nightmare!

first son was premature and just popped out.

billy was breech and i had gastro enteritis for 2 days before labour started.

i couldn’t stand up for weakness and i was put on a glucose drip.

it was like i had the starring role in the exorcist.

green vomit and cursing in tongues!

we both survived it though

Now that’s a very good reason to not have children. Fancy having to relive that memory every year? For 28 years. And to have it go on for the remainder of your life.

Many mums could tell a tale of horror when they remember the births of their children.

But even so, none of them would go back to the days before they had their bambinos.

i’m sat here smiling to myself because my billy (the breech baby) is playing his guitar so nicely.

he strums away and adds a riff from bob marley, one from roger waters and so on.

every time i recognise one i want to press a buzzer, feels like family fortunes!

wouldn’t be without the lanky streak!

he is my happy .

t’other is lovely too.
