tmdi... I'd kill for a vodka or 20 after the day I've had.. sadly it isn't the answer I seek.

No but it would allow you to forget the question

Dinner made and decluttered, washed up, more WM and TD. I'm having a seat for 15 minutes then I will throw DD into the bath and clean the bathroom while she's 'relaxing' (her words not mine!)

I don't do wine... only whine!

I am pretty much on the verge of a total breakdown today.. I think my old PTSD is sneaking up on me.. I am having issues regarding stuff which happened years ago (12 and 8 mainly) and struggling with that massively. I really need to rein this in again It is so bad I almost considered an appt with the quack but I didn't get any productive help last time so don't see the point. OH is as much use as a chocolate teapot on a coffee morning on a hot day! I am very close to sending him to his mothers by himself this weekend.. they are only interested in him and Squeak anyway so I could stay here with Dot and we could tidy and fling.. every time someone speaks to me I start blubbering I can't see me being very good company, if I even bother to leave the car! 48 hours is likely to see me off entirely.

Maybe I just need to sleep.

S'pose I should round up pjs for tiddlies!

get the kids to bed, the bigger ones can sort out the littlies and get some rest.

Pigpen <hugs>

I am having a bleugh day myself, the Headteacher is really getting on my nerves at the moment, after OFSTED I felt so much better and even thought I'd stay in this school but she's really annoying me again grrrrrr

OH is under a big black cloud which doesn't help, it always make me down as well (and he doesn't even know I'm on anti-depressants)

Ho hum

Off to give DD a lift home from work then I think a long bath and an early night are in order

Just put DS to bed, and he wanted to talk about daddy. When he was a boy, and I was a girl. I said we didn't meet until we were grown ups and we lived in different houses. He said "where did me and DD live?" So I explained, nowhere, it was before you were born. He said "ahh I was in daddy's tummy and DD was in yours!" :rotfl: I am not discussing the birds and the bees with a 4 yr old at this time of night

Am bushed. Early night for me. Need to pack tomorrow, going to caravan on Friday. Last time I was there was 2 years ago, we took DD on her first holiday, everything was normal. Looking forward to it but apprehensive too. Hearts had a bit of a battering in recent weeks and it needs a rest.

Hugs, sticks and spoons (am going to add that to my list I think, to go find some!)

Well I've done nothing today, and probably won't now either. Thankfully my bathroom isn't too grubby, so it's not too bad. Ten hours of paid stuff today, so tired it's ridiculous, I ought to be able to do something after all this! Still, don't start work til the afternoon tomorrow, so will hopefully get the basics done on tomorrow's job, as well as keeping on top of the bathroom despite the lack of proper clean.

Just got to remember - I do not need to give up on this idea just because I've missed one day.
