My first step out of Newcomers

[Can it work]

Saffie thank you from the bottom of my heart. That thread really was inspirational. I can't believe I've never come across it before or that it's not better publicised. I think I'm going to start a similar thread for the next generation of DBers that seem to have arrived on the site. The time frames for some of those sitches was huge though. It makes my 4 months seem insignificant in retrospect.

Also, thank you Naej for your words. It always helps the soul to have someone looking out for you. I know I'm just in the early stages but I've always admitted here that I'm quite an impatient person. Saffie's link has made me see though that things can and will take time.

PM, as always, I thank you for just being there for me throughout my sitch. You have been my rock over the last few weeks. I wish I could help you as much as you have been helping me. As for the Disney trip, to be honest, I always thought Wee Man was still too young for it. He's only going to be 2 at the end of September. I think I will take him away though. Probably a week with my sister and brother. They both have young children and the trip would benefit him more because of that I think. Disney World will still happen but I'd rather arrange it for when he stands a chance of remembering it. The trip was going to be for her parent's silver anniversary. I knew he'd enjoy cerain aspects of it but knew we'd have to take him back when older so he could remember. It won't be happening now though. If my M never works out, I can't wait until the time that my S is able to remember vacations/holidays (delete as necessary for your country's language). I see camping trips, safaris, even a lifelong dream of taking my son to Machu Picchu in Peru. The list is endless. The future excites me incredibly. Unfortunately, the present depresses me to the same extent. This my friends is what they call limbo.

I apologise if my spelling has been a bit off the mark tonight. I'm about to open another can of beer. It's only just past 10 pm and Wee Man won't be up till 7 am so I don't feel too guilty. After today though, I swear I'm the father of the energizer bunny!!! Do you folks have that in the States? Saffie will know what I mean at least. Think I might fill him up with sugar before he goes back to my W tomorrow. Lol, only kidding. I'm not that cruel.
