Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

Savvy_sewing

Still no sign of the funding. Neither for me or my daughter.
Daughter needs help with boys and her husband is abroad with work. So I am going to have the boys for a long weekend.
I spent the day making plans with the shop. So I have closed the shop for the rest of the week.
Advertising only Monday and Tuesday when I have staff to cover.
Will make up the spare room tonight/tomorrow ready for the boys Thursday.
Unless social move them to a foster family before then.
Won't harm me to make the room ready for other grandchildren to visit anyway.
I am going to just have to deal with what ever comes up.
Dgd wants me to try and keep them with us but I don't think social will let me try.
It's been busy as a lot of people pulled their fingers out and collected when I messaged them to tell them I was closing at 5pm and didn't know when I was opening. I arranged with the shop next door to be a collection point and sorted a clothes rail etc for her. At 4pm we transferred all in collected work to her Shop.
Dgd and I are having a meal in the pub tonight as we probably won't be Able Friday and as she only came home yesterday, it was supposed to be our time but she has gone off to play. Hence I am on here.

You can only do what you can do.

Busy day today then.
Normal school run etc, then to village to dgs3. Nursery to be introduced etc. Then to my Mums to check on house, turn water down apparently, try and Sew the logo my machine won't read.
Food shopping for suitable child friendly foods, home to continue to clear spare room of sewing and put up blow up bed and cot.
School run at 3
Oh and my usual washing/ironing sort out

All but logo achieved. Tried but no success. Miss Mum as she is a wiz.
Mum has moved to my brother today.
She was not happy at my sisters . So she will be back home in a few weeks not months as planned.
I am ready for the boys. Or as much as I can be.
I am tired now as it's been hard work physically for me to move furniture and boxes etc. Up and down into the loft with stuff.
I will be ready for my bed tonight. I have the boys from 9 tomorrow till Monday.
Possibly Tuesday when they are moved to the Foster Family.
I am not happy about it but I probably won't be able to do it if I am realistic.

No words of wisdom I am afraid sadly.

I know its tough Mooloo and DGD can only see that you have done wonderfully bringing her up and she doesn't realise that you are getting older and will struggle to cope with 2 tiny children as well as her and work and of course your lovely Mum but I think you have made the right decision.

What if you took them and then DS had more? You already feel huge guilt for not taking the boys who went in to care not long after you had DGD.

((Mooloo)) Can I just say what a strong and amazing woman you are?

beanielou

I can only echo EE.
You are indeed an amazing strong woman.
Be proud.

Today is the day that will test my mettle for the next 5 days.
I am as ready as I can be.
Logistics are my next challenge.
The baby has to have his jabs today. So trips to the next town, trips to the village for nursery, and Dgds School collections etc.
