Sarahs Diary

The media are goin crazy about Uk artists M.I.A's video about ginger men being taken to the desert by the armed forces and being shot and blown up, it's been removed from youtube but it is no worse than lady gaga showing off her muff and butt or rappers talking about drugs, violence to women or any of the other disgusting things they sing about.
It just seems anything politically motivated everyone wants to hide and disgrace it, but keep the violence, sex and drugs coming!

Anyway here's the video and see what you think..

I have recently started a mums group called world4mums, it's for mums in the local area to get together once a week and socialise, share experiences and get the kids together to play and do activities, The first meeting is on 22/4/2010 1pm at Queens Park, Ipswich so if you happen to be in the area and are a mum then come and join the group at the link above!

Tanner our 7 month old Tenterfield terrier is homosexually in love with the King Charles next door, they're constantly escaping from each others Gardens to see each other and do "the business" it's pretty gross and quite embarrassing when I had to knock on next door and ask if I can get Tanner from their Garden and us both going out there and they're humping each other oh and Tanner also humps the cat, I think I will look a few things up on how to tame his humping.

If you have any funny or odd experiences with your pets please comment below and tell us your story!

Yey for little D as he started crawling properly yesterday at 9 months (corrected 7 1/2) but he is also pulling himself up onto his feet on anything that will support him, We're so proud of him and have to be next to him all the time now, can't even go to the toilet in case he gets himself in a pickle all fun and games though!

I thought I would write something for other mums and for even partners of women who are suffering from postnatal depression.

I have recently developed PND (postnatal depression) 8 months after having my son, I feel as though a big cloud has been put over my head and I'm trying to find my way through. At times I feel inadequate and bad about not being able to cope I constantly feel anxious and go into panic mode when D gets upset. Admittedly I snap at my partner for doing things that normally wouldn't bother me but he understands and just ignores my snapping and helps out where he can, it is so important as a partner or family member of someone suffering from PND to be supportive and help out, it is also important for the partner to get support too as it's not easy living with women with PND.

Luckily I have a supportive partner who has helped me realise that I have PND I looked into post natal depression online and I saw that the symptoms I had was the same as described for PND.

Here are some of the symptoms
. Sleep disturbance unrelated to baby’s sleep needs
.Appetite disturbance
.Crying
.Inability to cope
.irritability
.anxiety
.negative obsessive thoughts
.memory difficulties/loss of concentration
.loss of confidence and self esteem

it is very important that you talk to your GP or maternal and child health nurse if you think you may have even a couple of the above symptoms.
