Sadly not.beanielou said:Any vintage Laura Ashley?!
the two that have a printed selvedge I might try to google but not tonight.
I had to sing the boys to sleep tonight? ( I cant sing!) not sure why as it's been a long time since I had to do that. It was 9.20 by the time they were asleep.Other family finally rang me back and are going to see the boys Saturday.
so it is going to be a busy week ahead. Talking to Dgs1 about what is coming up and what to look forward to etc, and reiterating that this is home and we will all be back here together.It will need repeating several times a day probably.
I will attempt to take them down to the town park tomorrow.Fingers crossed for another full nights sleep. What a difference it made to my mood, and energy level.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.8 -
It was not to be. Dgs2 woke at 12.45 think he had a bad dream.
On the plus it was 6,45 when they launched into full mode.
alas all good things are short lived. We are having one of those mornings with nuclear fall out over the slightest thing.'
I have removed myself from the firing line.
The door, wall and toys have not faired quite so well.
I have a headache and my hand is swollen because it was the first target when Dgs1 didn't get his own way.
He is not going to get it so it's going to be a long day.

Stay strong Savvy - if you give in now, you might as well have said 'yes' at the start!It's not difficult!
'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
'Wonder' - to feel curious.3 -
we are at Biggests. Brought lunch with us and came over so I could change the scenery and the pace.
less challenging with two of us. Still hard work but tomorrow they will be at Steppingstones.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.5 -

Nobody should carry on doing something that isn't right just because they don't want to be seen to 'give in' or to not be strong, or they don't want to admit they got it wrong earlier on.
Everybody is allowed to change their mind, or to decide that what they thought was best might actually not be.
Nobody should be made to feel bad for that.3 -
I think she meant about giving in to Dgs1 on having Technology. Not about the whole situation.onwards&upwards said:hb2 said:Stay strong Savvy - if you give in now, you might as well have said 'yes' at the start!

We ended up staying for tea.
just home about 40 minutes.
one child in bed, fingers crossed that he will sleep now as he didn't sleep during the day. Then hopefully I can get his brother to sleep without any more drama for the day.Definitely the right decision to get up and go somewhere.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.4 -
Glad that you made the right decision.
