Far and Away

Sounds good @Snowie.

My quiet time is over now that D2 is up ..... lol. Incessant questions.

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Snowie My quiet time has just ended here too - little squishy face is up and playing. So far Tobes and Cat are still on their beds but no doubt Tobes will be up to see what Clover is up to soon. She has also worked out how to get out through the fly screen so I am on constant alert to bring her back inside. She is an inquisitive little girl but is not a big cllimber (yet) so whilst I think she would stay in the yard I am not taking any chances.

@Faith-and-Hope I think it is wonderful that you are doing your art for both possible cometitions and exhibitions - it gives you something to work towards doing what you love. Whether you do or don't do both it is the process that is worthwhile and no doubt will be soothing as well.

S2 is so lucky to have you there for support Hon and whatever he is going through right now he no doubt values you and your support - and it is good that he is reching out for that because it does matter - especially when we are at our lowest or dealing with the big things.

I love the name 'little squishy face' Suits her very well @Zoe7 !!

My quiet time has ended here too. Both kids up and washing on.

She is definitely going to be confused with her name @Snowie She gets little squishy face more than Clover but doesn't yet respond to either - she does to my voice though so that is a good thing. She is doing her morning zoomies after trying to bite Toby's feet - he doesn't like that but is so chilled with her - it really is a massive relief that he is so good with her and that she gets on with him. It was really cute to see Clover and my sisters cat play yesterday - my sister's partner wants another cat to keep theirs company and after having Clover there yesterday he was looking them up already lol I don't think my sister is too keen but after having Clover there she may be changing her mind.

Hopefully your kids give you some peace today and you get done what you need as well as some time to yourself. I had a bad night so will no doubt have some naps today but also want to get outside for a while and do some things too - see how I go as I am not going to push it.

I am sure she will recognise her name in time @Zoe7 Tobes sounds like he is so good and patient with her.

I hope you are able to get some rest today hon, even better if you can have a few naps. Sorry to hear you had a bad night, that always makes the next day more difficult to cope with.

The kids are old enough to keep themselves occupied. They both have jobs that they need to get done today too. S has to do the garbage and recylcing bins and D has to clean her room. It looks like a tornado hit it!! Typical girls room with clothes and shoes everywhere 😒😒

Been to the supermarket and to get petrol so nothing pressing I need to do today now @Snowie so the day is mine to do as I please. I have a little more energy now ...woken up a bit so may head outside soon. Cat is out there sleeping in her usual place and Tobes will go out with me. I can then close the back door so sneaky little squishy face doesn't get out.

I can imagine Ds room I used to have the cleanest room - spent the majority of my time in there to avoid all the dramas in the household. I regularly moved things around too so around every month or so it was a change of environment for me

Little squishy face just jumped on top of Toby to get to the back of the couch - Tobes did not move lol

Good morning @Clawde 👋

I have to go up to the supermarket later on but will wait till I have to take D to work. I don't want to make two trips up the street.

Glad that the day is yours now @Zoe7 I am sure squishy face will keep you busy running around after her though!!

Up to my second load of washing, got one to go, just running out of room to dry everything.

Always washing to do @Snowie I was going to wash Toby's rug and doona cover today but he and Clover are sound asleep on them so it will have to wait - could not possibly move them lol - especially with Clover nearby, asleep and not trying to 'escape'. 👍

Good idea only to go out once - will give you more time to yourself.😁

Yes, always washing to do @Zoe7 I think the kids put it in the washing basket instead of putting it away sometimes 🤔🤔

Hoping you can get some rest whilst they are asleep hon.
