Mumof2_2

Thanks for all the support once again. I managed to get off to sleep pretty quickly but woke at 4am - stayed in bed til 5 and then came down and dozed on the sofa with Whiz. S came down at 6.20 (he doesn't sleep well) and is playing on the iPad so any chance I might have had of more sleep has gone - so I am going to get on with some things now and finish off the typing job I started last night and get ready for the day etc. Only got Agility with Whiz at 1 and take Z to Scouts tonight so will use my time cleaning, ironing and want to wash the front door down so it looks all nice.

Just sent the email to J and now I'm sat here with my legs shaking feeling sick. This is awful.

Hugs (and coping vibes). From what I have seen you have dealt with all of this amazingly well and you should be proud of how you have handled it. A lot of things in my life feel quite uncertain right now and my brother said to me yesterday that things have a funny way of just working themselves out, which is probably true.

Feeling quite cheery this morning, although fighting off a cold. Better get ready for the paid stuff. See you later x

Thank you Yorkshirelass and others. Just in from lovely walk in the sunshine with Whiz; didn't go too far as we've got Agility later. Think I have accidentally taken 2 lots of my antids this morning as feeling a bit spaced out and giddy but hoping it'll wear off soon as need to drive later - fingers crossed. Having a cuppa, checking emails etc and then will get cleaning; determined to do as much as I can.

Includes lots of cleaning up after OldDog who seems to have forgotten now what the garden is for.

Strong *sphincter tightening vibes* for OldDog.

In fact let's have a group hug we all deserve it.

We do, and a round of applause! :T:T:T

Well done for sending the email, Mumof2; it's very frightening being assertive when we're out of practice, but also very necessary at times and this is one of them.

The laundry mountain is cleared! Beautiful blue skies, freezing cold here but so sunny after all the grey days since October. Lovely.

Fridge on defrost, properly this time.

Love and hugs to all.. too hungry to write lots.. just going to do food for smalls.


parcels ready to post.. another £19 sold overnight


I need to vacuum *yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwn* but I've been awake half the night and tired.

Mumof2_2

I'm tired too Pigpen - wouldn't it be nice if we could just sit down and knit and have someone bring the food in for us?

I've washed down the front door, moved the outside door mat and swept underneath, let out the chooks and topped up their feeders and water, walked the dog, got a load of washing in, wiped the work surfaces, done all the washing up, wiped the dining room table and taken some of the kids gibble upstairs and put in their rooms. Also started a shopping list but need to plan our food for the week and try to use stuff in the freezer. Even the basics are expensive aren't they. Oh yes, also downloaded templates etc for new job - just need to make sure they all work.

I've decided not to go to Agility - this is more important. So going to:
[STRIKE]* iron (not a lot thankfully)
* hang up wet washing [/STRIKE][STRIKE]after putting away or ironing dry stuff[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* vacuum downstairs[/STRIKE]
* do my filing (always feel more in control when I've done that)
[STRIKE]* do meal plan I mentioned above and finish shopping list (needs to be done by 5.00)[/STRIKE]

First though I need some food. I'm ravenous!

pigpen

It would be wonderful.. and if I could stop sneezing for 5 minutes.. I'm so glad I always did my pelvic floor exercises!! lol.

I'm going to leave OH with smalls and get dressed and see if I can find a bit of floor space in my poopit of a bedroom.. I cant sleep and its not all down to the cat trampling on me half the night!
