Looking for the silver lining

Sun_Addict

Thank you ladies. Feeling a bit sorry for myself tonight. Mr SA has been in bed all day, he got up for an hour and ate a very small amount of dinner at 7 and is now back in bed exhausted. DD has gone out. So sat on my own. Just been looking at Facebook and all my friends seem to be having a nice Easter - out and about doing stuff. I just want a normal life it's not fair

Thanks Beanie and yes I will keep plodding x To cap it all my cat has just come in with a mouse which my dog has taken off her. That's all I need.

The joys of our animals~not :eek:

& remember most people only put good things on FB & not the not so good.

Never look at what people are doing in facebook, it's a well known fact that people only post things that look exciting
Most of the time our lives are not that exciting !!
I feel for you, the situation you are in is awful. Keep on plodding and eventually you will be posting true and real statuses on facebook
Chin up SA.

I shooed the dog outside with the mouse and thankfully it escaped. Beanie re FB - I have a FB friend (work mate) who is forever putting stuff about her dead relatives on there which is very depressing, tbh if I put on there how I was feeling I know I would get a lot of support. I just want my life back, how it was before all this carp.

Hey Debs - I admit I only ever post on FB if I'm in the pub or on holiday

please-let-me-be-lucky

I get where you are coming from re FB, but everyone else is right, it's is not a true representation of life. Some people put too much on there (dirty laundry goes in the washing basket not on FB!!), other people put nothing on at all. I've quite often put happy smiley pictures on when in reality I'm an anxious frazzled mess, the kids were fighting 5 minutes before and DH has been snappy and angry!!

Ask for support, you deserve it.

Wish I could wave a magic wand for you and give you your old life back Xx

I hate Facebook on special occasions - as PLMBL says, everyone posts the best pictures from the day when really most of the day was probably arguments!!


I felt guilty yesterday as loads of people are doing egg trails and I never did that for my kids (they are now 18 and 12) but then I remembered that we used to spend all day hiding tiny choc eggs in the garden and by the 10th time of doing it we would be down to about 3 eggs as we couldn't remember where we had put them!!


Sorry to hear Mr SA is poorly


I didn't post anything on FB yesterday otherwise it may have been a rant.
DH always gets side tracked if he has to do housework so yesterday morning we were tidying downstairs ready for relative to visit. I was trying to do the kitchen, DH was in the lounge. He offered to help and I asked him to put out the bins which he did but then got sidetracked and started tidying the garden and trying to fix the greenhouse.
I ranted to myself about how relative would not even see the garden and washing the floor was more important.
Eventually he came back indoors and didn't seem to register that he had done anything out of the ordinary.


I would love to look inside his head and see what actually goes on.


Hope today is a better day for you
