Remember HALT.

Hungry.
Angry.
Lonely.
Tired.

I know its a stupid question but what if you are ONE or more of these most of the time?

I'm often lonely, I live alone with kids and often very tired. Does that mean I have to try hard to keep myself motivated or

Bit worried (just to put a downer on things) about waving kids off for two weeks on Sunday - I can't stay down south and I have to come back for work things which are mounting up. I'll end up at home in an empty house. Scary (I only know work people here and a couple of hte kids friends mums) this is definate danger time for me.

Need somehow to figure a plan to shift my behaviour. I should 'relish' the peace and quiet - instead it makes me even more crazy than normal.:rolleyes:

Ooooo thank you.....am all excited now.:j

As for being lonely....you have lots and lots of virtual friends and text buddies.
Try and make the most of your ME time.......lovely pampering nights...hot baths , painting nails and reading good books in PJ's and stripey socks.
I find the internet makes time fly by......I sometimes feel like I have been in a time warp when I look at the clock and 3 hours have passed while I was just mooching around.
We'll all be here to help you through the two weeks your children are away.

Have a lovely weekend down south and Take care of you
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Thanks Molls - Not great at the pamper stuff - I do a million miles an hour then I stop - must get better at the alone time stuff. You're very right about occupying the time and I do have lots of lovely folks on here to keep me on the straight and narrow! xx

Evening all.....I think I'm probably just going to lurk for a while. Not doing great with this alcohol free at the moment....I will keep trying but feel a bit contradictive posting on here. For some reason I've taken GC's posts of Wednesday evening a bit personal......think I'll just hide for a bit. Take care one and all and much love and good wishes on your quests. xx
