    Dear Maggie
    Wont be to long love before you get to hold that babbie in your arms! and see your mum.
    I know the waiting is hard but think by the time you go home your mums eyes will be well on the mend and nicola will be less tired and more at ease with being a mum, which are all posotives .
    You prob should go to the doctor for skn before you have a very bad flare up, you have to take care of yourself.
    Winter time is not allways a god time for you, you tend to get sick and have bad skin and iv,e noticed too that at this time of year you also get down especially with stresing over going home.
    Stick to your guns at work love, you need those 5 days and no weekends, have you thought about going back to daycare or doing washing and ironing for other people or even having another think about a cleaning job.
    if you could get evening work with cleaning, monte could drop you off and pick you up!.
    You could have a break for a few weeks between love.
    Love to you xxxx

    Maggie, hi, I am a friend of DogCrazy's and how nice to meet you. I surely know what homesickness is but not having a whole ocean between me and home. The worst time of my homesickness was when I was in Arizona in '85. I got to Arizona with 6 dollars to my name and knew one person. I was from Missouri. I soon got a job and my job left me with no time for the one person I did know so we grew apart. I started making friends with those I worked with and that Thanksgiving I was spending it with a new boyfriend and his family. I missed my family so much, the pain in my heart was like physical. We all were sat at the table and someone mentioned the brother that couldn't make it and I just started bawling, I was very embarrassed. I had been holding it in all day and right there at the table came floods. I don't believe I will ever forget that time or the feeling. I lived 7+ years of my life homeless and I spent many holidays or special times without my family and most times with even with strangers or people I had only known a short time. I know it is hard. I will say a prayer for you. God bless you and congrats on the new family member!

    Love in Christ,
    Teressa
