Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 , did I read you are doing 4 units this semester?

It would have been a cool box though! 😂 @tyme. How old are they?

Yes I am @tyme

3 units is considered 'full-time'. 4 units is a lot! Do you think you will be up for it?

Also, have you looked into getting an adjustment plan based on your current mental health? @Birdofparadise8

IF I had children, as much as I love buying toys, I know how much children love playing with 'junk' - one's trash is another's treasure.

My niece is 5 and my nephew is 8. @Captain24

Even with my nieces and nephew's next door, they have everything, but they love boxes to sit in the best. They make buses, trains, doctor surgeries....

Tonight, they helped me build a standing desk.

I've got a confession to make... I was so busy today don't admin work and making phone calls that I didn't make time to eat except a bag of treat size Picnics.... I really regret it because I polished the bag of 12.... @Birdofparadise8 @Captain24

I'm sure it's okay @tyme it's a once off lol.

I think the ‘junk’ helps make them creative and use their imagination @tyme.

Were they much help with building? I’m sure they had so much advice. Lol

How were the picnics though? I had maccas and have regretted it.

Picnics were tooo good! @Captain24 - yummo. With me, if I start, I don't stop. You know, "just ONE more....just ONE ONE more.... oh, I don't want to see you alone in the packet, I may as well eat you."

As for building, the kids are pretty good. The youngest (2 year old) is so cluey and switched on. Can't pronounce words clearly yet, but able to give me the 'allen tea' (Allen key) and the 'stoos' (screws)... lol

And that @tyme is the reason I don’t buy the funsize packs anymore! I just buy one bar then that’s all I can eat

Allen tea and scoos is so cute. Sometimes I miss having little ones around. They can make life so fulfilling
