Far and Away

Yes @Snowie and I might need those 2 minute noodle recipes if I don’t return to work lol!

Hey @Shaz51 @Appleblossom I hope you have had an ok day.

Ok here @Eve7

How are you ❤

Home alone @Shaz51 about to do the ironing after linking some more stuff on myGov. Is there anything the Govt doesn’t want to know about us!!!

@Faith-and-Hope I love those ideas for processing emotions about negative interactions or difficult relationships. The box idea is probably a bit craft for me, but I really love the layered approach, and I will find ways of integrating the importance of layers in my thinking, beyond the old peeling back the onion trope.

Dear @Snowie hearing you about the difficulties of dealing with your mother. There is an unwritten law that if you are living with rellies you pay respect. I also do not believe that there is nothing she can afford. I have lived on a very restricted income most of my life, and I know there are ways to make it work. Maybe you can motivate her to adjust the fit of the coat to the size of the cloth or whatever ... it is ... a tiny studio apartment could be lovely and less housework ... she can start saving now... for a bond or a deposit. Anyway, that is my twopence worth. My mother was very toxic and I unfortunately let her in too close and am still paying for it and my children will pay for it for years to come Just the way the dynamics played out. Take care with it.

Love to you @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Shaz51 and all following along who need it.

@Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Eve7 @Shaz51 @Snowie Had a pretty good day today with the kids ...lots of work done and lots of laughs. We have 4 areas at the bottom of our shelfing units where 4 of my kids have made their own 'pods'. The shelves themselves are quite large and with my kids still being so little they have placed pillows in each space and snuggle in to do their work. I also have some that like to work standing up outside and a small group that want/need to work close to me so they can get help (all lack confidence). So our classroom today looked like it was very disorganised but all the kids were thoroughly engaged and working so well ...and it was a pleasure to witness.

Heaps to do tonight - as per usual - but home at a reasonable hour for a change, dinner is done (thanks to organising most of it yesterday), fur babies fed, some housework done and been able to sit for a while before I get back into it.

Sending love and hugs to everyone 💖💖💖

👍 ❤️ @Zoe7 ……

@Appleblossom @Eve7 @Shaz51 @Snowie and anyone else around 👋💕

Cute @Zoe7 Made me smile to think of them in little pods.

Hey @Faith-and-Hope

and hugs @Snowie @Shaz51 @Eve7

I just made the utterly brilliant observation lol ... that both Eve and Zoe have 7 in their name ... care to share why ...

hahaha - after ALL these years you just realised that @Appleblossom that did make me giggle lol

Mine is pretty simple - Zoe was already taken so I added my favourite number 👍😁

Enjoying the silly

@Zoe7

So glad we are both still here posting away.

It has been a loooong time for both of us @Appleblossom ...and I am grateful for every day/year that I have had the pleasure to know you 💖
