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.

@Faith-and-Hope - Day been busy. Monday's normally are with work then rushing to PT and then dance at night. It just ended after came home to cooking scrambled eggs so I can make this eggs, cheese and tomato relish sandwich. Found my for tomato relish.

@Appleblossom - hi lovely meet you. I love learning about history of places and culture too. To be honest I get intrigued as I grow older about things am unsure about. Guess it's the thirst for knowledge. Definitely agree that human nature still hasn't changed much from in the stone ages (as its called) despite the advancement in technologies.

A bit tired today. But that's ok. I am currently making dinner for my family (pasta which is an easy meal fortunately).
Looking forward to a cup of tea and relaxing with my book after I help my daughter pack for her school camp tomorrow.

Big day .... huh ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Well i was intending a day at home but it started with hubby having a fit and getting anxious etc because he needed to mow his aunts lawn so of course I had to go to town with him as support so he could get the job done.....then by the afternoon right before rush hour (school pick up etc) he decides he needs a nap and I am left to do everything, sigh...I know his meds are terrible for side effects but gee it really irks me sometimes. Now I'm behind in things I need to do and the day is almost over.

@Lost1

I can relate ... making my hubby's cooked lunches is part of trying to keep him steady, but it means I am cooking twice in the day .... grrrr ..... and on weekends I'm gpdoing cheat meals for the kids cos I can't cook different things for different family members at the same time .... While I do that for special family events, it just takes too much out of my day to do it all the time, and other things get left behind, 😠

Same with the washing .... one load a day is his .... and while I used to do several wash loads a day when the kids were small, across three or four days I could get through everyone's washing. Now with a hubby wash every day, it slows down the running of the household ....:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Still, he's going away a lot on and off, so there are harder weeks than others, but I am getting to experience a FIFO wife's lifestyle .... 😏

There's whinge over for now. I hope you manage to find a little time for yourself occasionally ☕️ 🎼 🌿 💤 ?
