I have struggled to find this thread since I stopped updating.Just thought I would give a little update.
we are on a much more even keel. The daily routines are becoming the normal.
dgs1 still has major issues but his OT therapy is due to start tomorrow. It's been a long time coming.
DGD has started Equine therapy and also had her first zoom meeting with a psychologist. Let's hope we can help her.
twin 1 is still in Kent, hardly get to see her but plan to go down at half term.
twin2 has been suffering with gallstones so has spent quite a bit of time back here, but is currently at the caravan she rents with DS.
DS has a new job as a courier driver.Biggest has a promotion in the offing in her newish job.The wee one is growing daily, talking non stop, is very cheeky, funny but boy has he also got a scream on him when he doesn't get his own way. My ears have taken quite a bashing !
I am only doing a very few jobs as meetings, childcare etc takes up a lot of my time.
My mum is not doing too badly, all though I would say she is a lot frailer, but at 85 she's still living on her own, has not been away from her house in 14 months and considering is doing well. We talk on skype daily. I do her bits and pieces on a Saturday but Biggest is sorting out a cleaner as Mum can't see the dirt etc anymore.My job now is to get the clutter sorted out as it's starting to get out of hand with my always being on the go here or there or working in the cabin.
still single. Finally getting over the old BF.Covid19 helped as not able to have seen him due to bubbles etc. Not sure I can be bothered about any more relationships. Kids are enough at the moment.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.15 -
With everything you have on your plate, I'm not surprised that you have time nor energy for little else! (((hugs)))It's not difficult!

How lovely to read your update!
Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama4 -
I've just come downstairs to make a drink and take some painkillers Barely slept in the past week too hot and humid triggers the pain.I've just looked at the date and I think it's your birthday SS. I may be a day or so out but I do remember us all sending the birthday wishes . Hope all is well. I've put this thread back in my bookmarks no idea how it disappeared.I miss us all posting daily but understand you have a lot to do.Take care and the same to our friends here.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
There but for fortune go you and I.5 -

Morning,
Thankyou so much for the birthday wishes!
I am 60 today!
There is indeed a lot going on in my life!
The boys are both a handful, but they are also a delight at times.
I will give you an update tomorrow as I am just about to do some sewing while the boys are in holiday club.
