Hi @eth 😊

Hi Everybody ....

I'm feeling very sleepy tonight. I have been feeling very unwpsettled for the last couple of days, but we had our first break in rainy whether for a while, so I got myself up and out for a really long walk around the river.

I have been walking on the treadmill we have here at home, but I have to grit my teeth and suck it up, because it's no substitute for what I call "real walking" .... but it is still great for managing that anstey-ness that settles in when you're living with cranky baby dragons !!

No fin-babies 🐬 to be seen at the river today, but lots of feather-babies ..... black swans, pelicans, ducks, cormorants .... probably from all the rain recently.

D3 was in a much better mood this afternoon, and we had some good chats. She is like a different girl today, actually cleaning up in her room, and I couldn't even tell she had cooked in the kitchen at lunchtime .... really impressed with both efforts !!

D1 is still avoiding me and avoiding eye contact .... not ready to talk through yesterday morning's hissy-fit yet, obviously .....

I hope I'm going to sleep well tonight after that long walk. I have been waking up at 3 - 4:00am for the last few nights. Think that's what happens when my brain is trying to process stuff.

Will tag along for a while, until my iPad sags down into my face .... 😆

Hi and hope you don't mind me popping in. This fourm was mentioned over in another, I don't want to go to bed just yet, so I thought I'd drop by. I've had such horrendous nights sleep the past few nights I don't want to go.

I've only read a couple of pages, back to earlier today. I'm sorry there's so much stress around. I can really relate to that. I feel like been on edge for a few weeks and hubby picks up on that and uses it.

Dearest @Former-Member

im thinking about you. I've been reading your posts to catch up on your life.

Do you think that you can turn off just for 2 minutes at a time wihen your children are at their Fathers or even one minute at a time?

SEnding you scones and strawberry jam and cream for desert

Hi @artee 😊

Good to see you found us over here ....

Sorry to hear your husband does that to you .... unfortunately my hubby is outa whack at the moment, so I can really relate to what you're going through with that one !

Hugs ❣

Hi @PeppiPatty

thank you for the dessert! nom nom

im so scared for them with their dad, and they come home upset, and/or with bad ideas about themselves or me. its just so hard. i try to distract by working, catching up on housework, its the night hours when i try to sleep that are the worst. I think its also really hard for me because theyre out at the house where a lot of stuff happened.. and i know how isolated that place is too as its out of town, out of view from the road even. but yes, maybe, it'll get easier in time and as the kids get bigger and stronger maybe.

how are you doing @PeppiPatty ? have things been ok today with your hubby?
