Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

dangers

That was a very courageous thing to do Mooloo and well done for making that phone call. It can’t have been easy.

No it wasn't easy to do, but with Biggest agreeing with me, and my Mum agreed it had to be done. A delayed return when /if the parents get more organised and the support is available would be better then a failed attempt. But I am not the one making the decision.
I paired loads of socks! Still have a small carrier bag full of odd socks. Watched TV and went to bed part way through I'm a Celebrity.
Got a text message from Twin1 that She was in labour around 9.30pm
And one in the early hours to say "she has arrived at 1.14am
No weight or other information yet. Update she weighs 7lb 14oz

So with step children that makes 13 grandchildren for the Silver Coins each year now.
I will need to buy more as I only bought 10 the last two times, so I have been using my stash.
Time to wake Dgd and tell her she has a new sister, and get her ready for school.
And me for work!

I don't think I am brave. I feel that I am in a situation that I cannot find a good outcome from.
I could potentially have lost not only my son, But another two grandchildren as well.

But my conscience could not let me keep quiet.
I honestly feel like a beaten woman, and at work I seem to have taken on many many jobs that are incorrectly priced, so I have put my business in critical all of a sudden!
Eyes not on the ball etc.
I am fearful that what I am doing is going to be too late to sort out.
I just spent an hour on a coaching call to America ( hate to know what my phone bill will be!), and I have realised that everything in my life needs to be reviewed.
I am at my lowest in a long time, so I am not productive at work, my homelife is not on track, my family is becoming more dysfunctional than ever.
I no longer want to be in my shop, I no longer want to be in my house, or be Mum. I dread being Granny again.
Thankful though that I have a wind down time soon and a wonderful holiday with Mum soon.
It was a coincidence last night that I got an email about the area in Portugal that I am going to on holiday and a link to some very interesting information about the area I am hoping to move to if I can get my finances sorted.
Change is going to come!
It has to.
Seen a lovely photo of the newest little lady in my life. She looks very like her brother. X

Glad to hear the new little lady has arrived safely .


As you have realised too much is going on in many areas of your life on an ongoing basis . I know you plan ahead for the day ahead and block time for important priorities to keep things on track .


One of the things which has pretty much fallen by the wayside lately is the time set aside for you to just be . Whether with DGD,a friend or a bit of personal space with no pressure or worry .


You need that for balance as you work hard , carry a lot of responsability and have many things to juggle .


Having limited the work coming in this month try to find some space to rest or step back from full on duracell bunny mode . You haven't had much chance of a quiet Sunday doing as you want .
I know you need to keep on top of your commitments to customers but you've brought work home and worked on into the evenings .


Apart from stopping being available to family 24/7 set you time when you need your space for the sake of your health and wellbeing . I know her from MSE as Memory Girl aka Elaine . To you she's Matrix Girl . I have often asked myself What would Elaine do?
Elaine finds the balance and so can you .

Yes ex bfs children's children are still in my life.
Exbf is still a friend because life is so intertwined with the children.
We may not have a future as a couple but we still share a past and our children know each other

I lost my plot yesterday with my Son, asked him when he was going to pay me back some money as discussed Sunday. He said his car insurance went out and he cannot pay the rent, me, or get food!
I text shouted at him to sell his f. Xbox and to get a job, any job like a proper man, and how can he expect to get the children back if he cannot buy food. Also told him catagorically that The Bank if Mum is Closed. Go to the food bank!
Needless to say he didn't reply to that one!
I definitely have lost my patience
I woke at 5am for a while, my head was too busy and it took a while to get back to sleep, when I did my Dad was with me clear as anything in my dreams, talking to me about changing directions and making things happen next year.
I really do miss my Dad, although I am close to my Mum I always was Daddy's Girl. So I have woken feeling quite a loss this morning.
Woken with tears in my eyes, how stupid is that, he's been gone since April 2015.
He didn't get to see the children and luckily none of the chaos of DS's life since the birth of the first one was happening the day he went into hospital.
Right dry those eyes Moo, and get DGD up, it's just another day in Paradise.

What a struggle to get Dgd out the door!
I need a cuppa before I do anything else.
The plan is to take my charity bags with me when I go to see Mum, and drop them off when I take her to the bank. I want to go to B & M to get a few small gifts for Christmas and we will have lunch out, a trip to Aldi for our food shopping on the way back.
Dgd and I are going to do her room this evening!
She is complaining that she can't find her clothes- well that's because when I give her the piles of clean clothes she dumps them on the floor or on top of things and not in to the drawers and cupboards!

By the end of the week we will both have regained control of the monsters in the closet!!
