MIL
We're having a garage sale next week. My mother-in-law emailed me today offering to 'donate' two items to our sale: her only high chair and a pack-n-play. This life sucks.

I began the layout for this blog in April 2008. I planned on blogging about life as an educated, intentionally unemployed stay-at-home mom. I never wrote a word. In November 2008, my fourth child was born still. Because I lost my precious baby girl, my blog specifically evolved into: life after losing a child to stillbirth. P.S. Four months later, add cancer to the subject matter.

Are you EVER happy?
Ouch.
Just a short while after our babies were born my MIL asked if we wanted her to donate their cribs. Um, no.
It sucks. I'm so sorry. I don't know what to do with the rest of G's stuff. I gave the car seat away to a friend, I've still got her crib. That seemed harder to part with for some strange reason.
Now I'm going to ask a stupid question, what is a 'pack-n-play'? I don't think we have these in the UK, or perhaps I am just a bit behind the times.
Love and hugs to you xx
Some people are just rough around the edge and just don't get it do they? You poor girl.
Yes, it does. Thinking of you a ton with much love as always.
(btw, Anonymous sucks too, but that is stating the obvious.)
Catherine,
A pack-n-play is actually something I've never used and never will use, so her selling that doesn't bother me. It's a transportable playpen/cot. I'm actually selling the one we were given when our first was born. Never used. :)
Yeah, what Angie said.
What is it about blog trolls at the moment? Sheesh.

Ugh on the garage sale items and the anonymous asshole.
sadness... I imagine how it stung...
