MOOLOO'S Muddling on into 2013

Savvy_sewing

Back to Taxi of Mum today. something's going to have to give today as the jobs needed to be done are too far spread. Towcester, Banbury, Rushden, Bugbrooke. but un able to do them in a logical order as DS jobs are with a time limit.
I would be tired out doing all that driving.
Did I mention that the lady who cancelled the Sofa cover has now decided that she does need it after all. So that needs to be finished. At least I didnt use the panels for anything else.

Most had to give in the end. I am just exhausted all the time. I took DGD to school on Wednesday and walked home and felt so drained it was an effort to get in the car and go and collect DS. He wasnt ready so I had a cup of tea while I waited. Then we went to . Banbury to get the shopping and for DS to sign on. When we got back and had some lunch i needed to go to bed for a rest,DGD went to tea at one of her little friends s after scool, which was lucky. When it was time to collect her DS went for me. Basically I couldn't muster up any energy at all.
Yesterday after the school run I had to go to work. I managed it, and to do my 6 hours at the machine, and hand sewing, but as soon as I got home I had to cook the tea etc before I sat down or I knew that I wouldn't get up again. In fact at 6.15 I let DS keep an eye on DGD while I had an hour s rest before I got her ready for bed.
I still feel as if I have been run over by a steam roller and just want to go back to bed. After the weekend I think I will make an appointment to see the doctors.
Today I am babysitting for DGD 2, as the nursery is closed. I am supposed to be meeting my old friend today so was looking forward to seeing her for quite a while, yet at the moment I am tempted to cancel as I am so tired. But I haven't seen her properly in about a year so am reluctant to cancel.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to see a doctor and get yourself checked out. You're still a relatively young woman and that level of exhaustion caused by what you're doing sounds a bit unusual.

Mental stress can also contribute to physical exhaustion and Mooloo is under an enormous amount of mental stress with everything going on her life.

I wonder if your exhaustion is linked to the medication which you have been reducing?

Hopefully the doctor can sort you out

P.S Shopping bags are packaged, just haven't sent them yet - will try to do so next week.

YES I will book to see the doctors. Still trying to work through the tiredness. Had a relaxing weekend so far though with walking by the river and sitting in the garden. although its chilly in the wind still. I caught the sun and have more colour about me. So does DGD.

Saw the doctors yesterday. Have to go back for blood tests tomorrow. After a 12 hour fast. Although I am allowed plenty of water.
I have struggled through the week. But DGD is with her Mum today so that I can go to work.
being self-employed now it is important that I do work. I have finished the current bunting orders, and only have the reordered sofa cover to do. I have two weeks until my Table top sale, so will make what I can, if I can only get the energy. Procrastination is my biggest problem with feeling so tired.

Well there were no problems with DGD at her Mum's luckily. I had a busy day sorting out several unfinished jobs that were needed to be done for Work. Managed to do an extra 30mins as I got in early. Will aim to catch up the rest of the hours during next week if I can. I am incredibly tired and will be ready for bed as soon as DGD goes.
Tomorrow Biggest of Mooloo is going on holiday to Portugal. I hope they get some decent weather. She deserves a good holiday.
On a good note I received a letter from the Council to say that they had given me a 4week benefit run on as I had come back to work after a long spell on ESA. which will help with my rent arrears. I will hopefully soon get my back to works credits and if they come in I will be able to catch up the rest of the rent.
Twin 2 was visiting her sister when I picked up DGD. She "borrowed" £3 to get bread and milk. She seams quite subdued and unhappy really. I hope she starts to engage with her carers soon. The Social were supposed to span aptitude test on her last Friday but it didn't happen. Nothing unusual with the Social around here.
I had a letter telling me that the child services have closed the file on DGD. Rejoice !

DGD went to her grandad for the weekend and that gave me the chance to relax and read my kindle sitting in the garden and enjoying the wonderful good weather. Nicely brown and done to a turn as my Dad would say.
DS is still at his sisters and today twin1 has gone to visit her BF for two weeks. DGD will miss her. Twin1 is at least talking again but in a lot of problems still.
Biggest of Mooloo´s has gone to Portugal with her BF and seems to be relaxed and happy. She has posted on Facebook.
My parents have gone on their annual holiday to tour France again.
I have been altering prom dresses today, then unpicking a duvet cover ready to use the fabric to make this year's summer holiday outfits for the DGD s. Beautiful pink with butterflies on it.
Most jobs now caught up, just the sofa cover to finish now and then I can concentrate on the craft table for two weeks time.

The time is going by so fast. Sorry I have been missing in action. My blood tests were negative. All present and correct. So nothing they can pin point for my exhaustion that way.
I am continuing to plod on. Going to work twice a week and sewing for myself at home when I get the chance.
DGD has been in the wars at school and landed on her face with a bang to her mouth, resulting in nerve damage to her front tooth. Its going grey now. She has a bruised shin the size of an egg. And multiple other small bruises.
Her Mumis away in Kent again with the boyfriend.
Twin2 is giving us as many continued problems as she can it seams. She is lying to me and the carers and is in masses of debt. We had an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon and she promised to engage with the carers and that she did want the help etc. She has gone and got a budgeting loan and will not be able to meet her repayments as she is already paying back that Child benefit she had kept claiming - to the tune of £4,000 odd. then there are all sorts of orher debts including the rent arrears that are continuing to increase with the new Bedroom tax.
Then today already she did not meet with the carer, had access to the loan and spent the majority while in town with the girl from the family from hell again. She had no food on Friday or electric and that set me bavk £60 as there was no access to the food banks. The Social Worker did make calls but its only open on Tuesday.
I am at my whits end with her.
DS has his JSA this week but there is a threat of a sanction for not engaging with A44E. except there was no letter received about the meeting as I have been opening his post and keeping an eye on everything so they either didnt post it, or more than likely its been lost in the post. Possibly miss delivered as I don't have a regular postie at the moment and a few times we have had nextdoors post.
This weekend i am doing my first craft stall since summer of 2010, so I am concentrating on getting a few more things made today. Iphone covers and a few specs cases today, and canvas bags over the weekend. Sitting in the garden with the sewing machine on the picnic table.
