Re: catching up
Karen, it makes me so sad that you have so many terrorizing memories, it breaks my heart that you had to endure so much misery in life.
Karen, i hope in the future you can make some nice memories with your family.
i hope you are asleep now, my thoughts are with you, i can't sleep again, it is so frustrating.

Re: catching up
Hi Jacques sounds like you didn't get much sleep again. It is so frustrating watching the clock in tge middle of the night. I still get night terrors they are awful. I get to the point where I'm just too scared to sleep.
It's a cold day here and cloudy.
We have to take everthing out of the girls room so the builders can come in on Monday and start fixing the damage to their room. It will hopefully be done by Christmas. The girls will have to sleep with me. Its going to be very crowded in here.
I hope the block heads will be finished by the end of next week. Im getting so scared to go to my house because every time I do the price goes up.
I hope your day is going to be ok thinking about you karen

Re: catching up
Hi my angel,
Yes I am getting the same problem, I am so scared of sleep now but am so tired at the same time. All I do now is lay their and think of the previous days events and try to slow my heart rate down, it races so fast when I get into bed, it is almost like I am getting a panic attack from going into bed.
I hope you and the girls get the room packed up quickly, at least you have a cool day to be doing it 🙂
It is warm here today, I have just done some gardening and am I the process of sorting out the pantry, my gosh it is amazing how many different spices their are, I must be throwing out 50 jars of spices from the 1980's!!!!!!!!!
Yes my angel I can imagine how worried you are with the house, Reno's are not cheap, I have spent a small fortune so far and still have 3 rooms to go, as soon as I get money it is gone, I must be almost a shareholder in burnings now!!!!!!
Well take care my angel, please take regular breaks and drink plenty of water.
My thoughts are with you my angel, I am already missing you.
Jacques

Re: catching up
Oh yes, I can imagine, so many toys, children today have so much stuff, I suppose I was the same when I was a kid.
Maybe some of those clear storage containers would be a good idea. That way the girls can keep them in their all the time.
Oh my angel, I love the smell of the Saddleworth, I have 12 boxes of them, the whole house smells so nice.
It is a shame your mum does not like them, at least when you may be into your new home you can have them going whenever you want.
Well I hope you are getting through it all the packing. My thoughts are with you my angel, I have packed up for the day, I am too tired to do anything.
Try to be kind to yourself.
Jacques

Re: catching up
Hi Jacques I hope you get a rest after your lunch maybe listen to some soothing music.
Most of the girls toys are under the house in clear plastic tubs. They sure will get a surprise when they get to the new house and unpack their toys they haven't seen in over 2 years

Re: catching up
Yes I am so tired, I could fall asleep standing up, I am sitting in the back yard cooking some steaks on the BBQ, my Saturday treat.
OMG Karen how many toys do they have? They are 2 very lucky girls.!!!! Yes it will be like Christmas all over again when you move in, maybe for you too, I am sure a lot of your stuff you have not seen in ages either.
I hope you are having something nice for lunch.
Thinking of you always my angel
