Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018
Comments

No nipping out as DGD is not feeling very well. Headache, feeling cold even with big fleece on... here we go the Autumn winter germs begin.
Next week the low attendance letter then!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
The trouble is if you help Mooloo, is you are enabling them to give a false picture of how they will manage. Because they are unlikely to manage which will just create more distress for the little boys being moved back and forth. Neither of the boys parents appear to have the capacity to love and care for 2 little boys (who will grow into 2 big boys). And of course I am talking real love here, the ability to nurture, cherish, put food on the table, put their emotional and physical needs first, not some sentimental hogwash.
I should add that I appreciate you are in an extremely unenviable situation and your dilemma must be very painful.I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once0 -
Mooloo I don't know if I'm mistaken but it sounds as though you're the one sorting somewhere for the boys to rest , preparing a meal and getting them ready to return to the carers . Apologies if I've misread but if I'm right surely their parents should be doing that otherwise it seems a bit pointless . I would think apart from contact it should be becoming involved in the day to day tasks and routine of child care .
I'd like to think things will turn out eventually but they've a new home which instead of a new start now needs sorting out . I hope dgd is better soon . You need to get some rest and a few early nights if you can .

There but for fortune go you and I.0 -
I only do dinner they do the rest. I just have to be here when contact is happening. Dgs 3 was sick just before he was due to go back home. He had been fine all day, ate his mince and potatoes, had a bath and was sitting on the settee started coughing and then was sick. Luckily into a towel beside him but then stupid woman picked him up to move him and that was the sofa the carpet and him covered with the next eruption. So my sofa is now stripped and in the washing machine, and the carpet is damp after a quick scrub.
I struggled to keep my thoughts to myself but I just about managed it.
I am glad everyone has gone and it's just Me and Dgd now. Although she's feeling better now.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Time for sleep. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I can see a reduction in my stress levels and my business can be concentrated on. I still have 10 more months of my lease after all.
Several bruises on my legs arms and tummy from my weight lifting yesterday. Aches in them all too, but I am better than I expected.
And breathe....When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
I want to stay warm and cosy in bed!
Wet dark mornings are just not my better ones.
But move I must.
I am hoping that Dgd is going to be well enough for school. I have a lot of work that must be done asap and I need to concentrate on clearing my backlog and probably bring work home tonight.
Starting to get demands for Christmas plans etc due to the care of the boys etc, Biggest wanting to know what's happening and Twin 1 ringing to make plans, and I have not given Christmas much of a thought.
Well more like December plans as I will be away with my Mum at Christmas and New Year this year.
So I better turn my head to planning my life again!
(Around the school plays, Santa grotto and other grandchildren demands!)
My first cup of tea is nearly finished. No more excuses I must move from my cosy bed and properly face the day.
I hope DS is going to return the keys to that house today. Then they need a miracle to get it organised in to a home.
Heaven help them they need a miracle, and that is not me.
My time is done, well my credit cards are done!
My time is very limited and I have my own home to sort out as soon as I can move properly again.
My sofa covers are needing to be dried and put back, but I have a feeling that I may have to repair them or make new as they had shrunk last time and were stretched a bit too much, if they shrink any further I definitely will not wrestle them back on!
Right move Moo!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

The Moomachine is in full force!
Last night, I was on another forum, reading about reusable sanpro. Apparently there is quite the demand for it as people become more aware of waste and it looks like they are quick to run up. Might be an idea?0 -
Moo machine has run out of energy. Brought a trolley full of work home, sat down and realised I am struggling to keep my arm up, and my eyes open. Casserole in the oven and I think I must listen to my body.
