I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

haha @CheerBear That is exactly the type of response I have when working with the preps - little energiser bunnies on energy drinks lol
I am sure the rewards for you will be numerous though - I do get energy from the kids myself and they always make my day so much better. I commented to my Assistant Principal today that being at work is good for me so as hard as it is to get there most days at the moment I know I will be okay when I do get there.
Keep doing wjat you are doing CB - you are part of what inspires me here Hon

Might just make some soup over the weekend for myself too @CheerBear - certainly is the weather for it 
Those little ones certainly help us get life into perspective at times CB. I have preps tomorrow afternoon after having a duty with the Kinder kids at lunch time. It is a very small area that I have to watch over so can get a little boring but the kids always want you to watch what they can do on the monkey bars or climbing wall so it is kind of cute too.
It sounds like you have a really full on day tomorrow too - keeping busy is a good way to stop other thoughts though so hope that helps you. I am very much looking forward to this weekend and trying to get my sleep caught up on and 'fixed' a little. Been on increase in meds for a week now and last night was the first night they seemed to work. I knew it would make me tired in the morning but will take them even earlier tonight to see if that hels tomorrow.
Much love and hugs coming your way for you bonkers couple of days - hope tomorrow is a good day for you CB

Just a quick check in to say I’m here and survived this week and will respond sometime. I am having a recovery day tomorrow, 1st planned one ever 😯☺️. The lawyer stuff is full on. Had to hold my mouth at one stage cos I thought I might vomit with anxiety. But I had my gorgeous bro with me. Feeling very sad that he has now left and don’t know when I’ll see him again. That’s my short wrap of lots of many things going on in my life. @CheerBear My kids sometimes feel like a whirlwind and keeping up with them is kind of hard emotionally and sometimes mentally but I’m so glad the physical isn’t there anymore. One of mine got me a ripper last night, little bugger. It was a heart in my mouth thing. A toddler dog is enough.

So glad to see you here checking in @Teej and that you have survived the week. It must have been so lovely having your bro there to help you ...those lawyer things are tough but you had support and that is wonderful. Hope it helped you navigate some of what was needed. Look forward to hearing more when you can. Hugs and hugs
