Re: Taking the plunge
I'm just about to feral run it @Maggie 😆 It's definitely become a thing for me.
I haven't seen trauma & co but will have a look. I love the idea of inclusive, progress and gentle 💜
I have been meaning to bump that thread. Maybe you could join in too? (Gentle nudge haha).
I look forward to hearing what you choose to do and how it goes today. Hope it feels good ❤
So, soooo good to see you @Former-Member ❤. No need for sorry. It's been really rough for you and I very much hear and understand how fear hurts and makes it hard to feel safe. I hope that soon it feels OK enough to be here again.
I'm about to show off my awesome bed hair and pjs to the suburb but wanted to send some ❤ to both/all before I do.

Hi @CheerBear
My kids are going ok. They have been doing their schooling and fingers crossed 🤞no problems yet. Probably lucky they are both old enough to do it independently. Younger one needs a bit of help staying on track and doing the right thing.
How are yours going? More importantly, how are you going?

Re: Taking the plunge
Good to hear they're going OK @Snowie. I'll keep mine crossed for you too 🤞. How are you finding it having them home all the time?
My Big is doing well as they can work independently and their school day has just moved from in class to video conferencing classes. If the house is quiet they're fine. Middle and Little need more support. Middle is having a bit more trouble now they have a cast on their dominant hand so writing is tricky and typing is frustrating. Little spends their life in la la land haha and needs a lot of encouragement, structure, boundaries etc. I'm finding it a lot of a juggle and it takes a lot of patience I have to dig deep to hunt for. But the time spent together is also nice (sometimes 😉), though by the time we've done school I don't have the energy to enjoy them as much as I did before school went back. Very much looking forward to the world getting back to normal and being able to have a bit of space.

Re: Taking the plunge
The time spent together is nice @CheerBear but I can understand that need for them to resume life as normal for them and more importantly for you.
I hope that time comes sooner rather then later for you and your crew. That space you talk about is missed here too, especially with H working from home. I think the only one content with it is the dog! Getting lots more attention and walks then normal 😉
It is hard to get that 'me' time for yourself. Hoping you can get some of it when they are asleep🤞
Big feelings are understandable and sitting with you during these hard times. Patience does take a lot of time and energy from ourselves 😒

Re: Taking the plunge
@MaggieGood to hear your getting some creative work done along with tidying.
I need to mix it up a bit these days. So over tidying.
@Bunniekins @CheerBear @Snowie @outlander
Have an outside day glow. Cant decide whether I am OCD or weird and funky with my paving job, but I am actually enjoying doing it, when I finally shift my carcas into gear and don gloves and workboots.
