Mooloo's struggle with babies and bills

Savvy_sewing

Listening to a "Beauty and Nature" CD that was sent to me a little while ago. Only problem is the sound of water makes me want to keep going to the loo!. I do that often enough as it is!!
Doors are banging and people are coming and going. So better go down and see who is about. Also see if anyone is wanting/cooking anything for tea tonight.

Well I am here at home instead of at the Social Services meeting. We got a phone call, 15 minutes before we were due to leave, from one of the workers asking me if I had been told that it had been cancelled.
Apparantly they are changing the twins from the Teenage Support Workers department to the Family Support Department in Daventry. So its going from a team in Wellingborough to one in Daventry. Nobody had bothered to tell me that one.
This will mean strangers taking over the case, and we will no doubt have to go through everything all over again!. I am getting so frustrated. We just seem to be passed from pillar to post all the time.
Its raining here, so the gardening is out of the question. Or relaxing in the sun. So I will have to try and get some more sorting done!. But I am not in the mood at the moment!. I am just angry and frustrated.

I haven't managed to do much today. Once I had taken twin2 into Northampton, to her BF's for the day, I showed twin1 where the cottage is and then I decided to sit outside in the sun while it came out. About 4.30 I went for a lie down, as my neck was very sore. (Driving irritates). Had to get up at 6.30 to go and collect twin2.(And her baby of course). They had tea at BF's.
Just as I got back my ASDA delivery arrived. Several of the eggs were smashed, so the man deducted them off of the end price, but left them with me. I managed to Save all but 6, without cracks. 2 with small cracks that can be used in a day or so, and 4 that I managed to save to scramble, minus what ever was left in the box... It was a gooey mess but well worth the time to wash and wipe them. And £3.18 refunded!! The driver also thinks that they deliver as far as the village I am going to be moving to, so thats a bonus. It was one of the things that was on my list to check tomorrow.
I cooked the dinner for the rest of us when I got back, and have now retired up to my room to relax. I cannot take anymore tablets until bedtime, so I will just have to put up with the feeling of nausia that the pain gives me. I was able to eat my dinner, so its not as bad as it has been in the past.
I started to write a todo list when I was sitting in the garden, and there are over 40 items on it!! Oops. Mind you thats things to do with the house move as well.
Early start tomorrow me thinks!.

Morning, I am hoping that once I slide out of bed, I will be able to move a bit better today. Slept intermitantly, but better then have done in a while. Have a long list of things to do, and so I really must be positive and also delegate some of the housework, and STAND OVER the twins to make sure they do what I have asked!.
have to wait till next Monday before I can see my Doctor, so I will just have to cope as best as I can with the pain fluctuations until then. My friend, who is training to be a nurse said that I shouldnt be in pain like this, that i should have it controlled so that I dont have these waves in my symptoms. So I booked an appointment (on Tuesday for next week!!!) to see my GP. Just realised that my sick note will have run out this week, so must go and check if the ESA need a new one?
Also want to ring the Social Services and ask them what is actually going to happen and when I am going to see some action this time!. I am really angry with them at the moment. Such a shoddy attitude is really frustrating me.

Time to check my internet banking and then back to my list to see what else I can do today. Before I have my rest.. Due in about 30 minutes.
Oh I did talk to the doctor becuase the ESA wrote and told me my sick note was running out, so he is doing me a note, and I told him I was in pain and he is changing my Volteral doseage. So I can collect them later on today.
Lets hope that that will help me with managing my pain.
The EPP have sent me a letter, and there is a course starting Friday 15th for 6 weeks, to help me Expert Patients Programme Self-management course!.
What a mouthful.! So I will fill it in and send it back. I am willing to try anything that is suggested. Means my Friday mornings are covered for quite a while, what with trying to move. Take over the keys to the cottage on the Friday 1st May. (Just had a call from the Estate agents back confirming).
The good news is that their is a larger plot of land, that the previous tenants had not been using, so Yipee I have the use of a greenhouse, and a plot for veggies!!! Yeah, my "Good life" is nearer then I thought. No animals though as the land is not fenced off!.
Now I am getting excited.

Oh, how exciting, a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Only 2 weeks and you will have the keys to your cottage and the good life! :j:beer:

I am tingling all over with the thought of a completely different life just around the corner.
I am sad that things here have not worked out, and that I will have to split the family, but I really do believe that I have done all I can for the family and that its time for them to move on. And of course for DS and I to have our time together.
It will be very different from anything I have ever known, and I of course will need help from DS with the garden as I cannot do it myself. I am just wanting to leap for joy, but obviously smilie will have to do it for me, as I cannot.:j
Time for me to rest before I over do it.

You have done your best to keep the family together, mind you I don't know where you got the energy from. You need to stop beating yourself up about it and look forward to being a granny whose daughters and grandchildren visit her and perhaps even have an overnight stay now and again. Perhaps now you will have time for yourself and time for the odd treat for yourself. It will be nice for you to have time for you and your son, yous can share the cooking, housekeeping, etc. and it will be easier done when there is only the two of yous.

Good luck! :A
