Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Hello @Former-Member sending you hugs

it must be very hard and to think that she has to keep going each day must be hard for her too

My mum is 85 and is very thin and she wants me to be her carer but she wants to be independent as well xx

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

It would be ideal to be her carer but have pur own kitchen. I have a friend whose mum is 97 now and still fights for independence (control) every inch of the way. They have the right I guess, can you be your mums carer part time maybe? But you probably have enough on your plate. My parents have 3 sons 5-10min drive away. I'm interstate, doesn't mean I care less.

Hi @Former-Member xx

I think it will be a great idea @Former-Member, just have to get mum to go to the doctor and tell him she needs a carer xx

I am the only child now ,

Good morning/afternoon @Faith-and-Hope@Shaz51@Appleblossom@Former-Member

Apologies for being a bit MIA. It has been super busy with dance and tennis and on top of that super stress at work as well =(

Cannot believe it is Thursday and I feel like I achieved nothing!

@Faith-and-Hope - hope D3 will get through this. Will keep her in my prayers 😃

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Anony18 🌷💜

She's at school today, which is easier, cos I am not stressing about whether she will meet today's deadlines along with her .... not riding that chaos ....

She was late tho ... and made me late for an apt with D1 .... grrr .... but we're just about through another day ....

I'm home, snatching a rest before the school run. WH is back tonight, with his chaos ... but hopefully it will stay tucked in behind hers for the most part ....

Coffee anyone ??

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, hot chocolate please. It's been raining in Melbourne on and off for days so a coffee just won't cut it. You have a great knack of finding the perfect image so I'd like my drink with love heart steam please 🙂

It's so great that this thread has clicked over a thousand replies. Does that mean a thousand drinks served? Quite a milestone. We might have to start a loyalty program so we can get some freebies along the way. Although, now I think about it, I'm not sure I've ever paid!

Hi @Former-Member ....😊

We're makin' it through the year .... 🌷💜

Getting things ticked off with no big derailment so far .... guess you always hesitate to say that ... mindful that a "spoke too soon" moment could always pop up out of nowhere .... but there has been so much to get through this year and we're almost at D3's graduation and D1's wedding ... ❣

Steam hearts with hot chocolate ..... hmmm ... let's see ....

😍
