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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

We have had a very busy year this year .... that has been exhausting .... engagement of D1, 18th of D3, 21st of S2, graduation from HS for D3 upcoming, then wedding of D1 the same week ....

Woven in amongst it is my hubby, blissfully unaware he is unwell with an mi .... coming and going with self-made work commitments interstate and overseas cos he can't maintain a family lifestyle along with operating a crushing daily regimen of diet and exercise obsession ....

It has been busy, but ticking off these commitments means the load will reduce dramatically shortly .... but what we really need is diagnosis and treatment for WH (wayward husband) ....

It sounds like you've got that, but it's still hard going .... right ?

Thank God for homemade choc chip cookies ❣

Actually anything chocolate is medicine as far as I am concerned 😆

@Faith-and-Hope, know its been hard but its also wonderful. Having such a big family who hug nogood & then and watch out for each other. Its bought me much hope in humanity, hearing your story and I he way you hold it all together like Proverbs 31. "Your faith has made you well" comes to mind here. I have every confidence WH will learn to love again. Hang in there. Hugzz

Hi @Former-Member .... ❤️

Thanks so much for your caring and supportive words .... it's what I believe ..... that there will come a time of reckoning where he wakes up and faces down what has happened here .... 😔

The thing is .... we have to hold true to our integrity while he is still in this darkness .... that's the faith part .... 🙏

Hold your hope in place for your son too .... just keep praying that he will come around .... we can't always know what is influencing them .... and I miss the relationship I had with my S1 too. You know that it will change when they marry or find a partner, but there is change that's natural, and changed that's influemced, and often it's a mix of both ... keep walking a straight path towards healing and let the HS influence his heat and mind towards you ... ☦💒💜

So glad you have become a part of my journey ... 😊🌻

Its the anniversary of my mum's passing over today .... 💐 .... going to buy some flowers and light a candle .... bring her into my day .... 😏 .... and the first thing I woke up to was your message of support .... ❤️🌷💕

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ha .... just had a visit from a kookaburra .... very close by .... could hear him laughing through my bedroom curtains .... 💜

Have to try to get my D3 to school somewhere near on time this morning .... but I'm up early .... so if I get my butt moving I can walk around the bridges before then ....

Gotta get moving, but I will keep an eye on my phone @Former-Member .... in case you're around to chat ....

Lookin' for my 🐬🐬🐬's ......

🌷💕

Hello everyone, it's so busy in the forums at the moment that I wasn't sure if I'd get a chance to drop by tonight. But then I thought - damn it, I NEED A HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

So here I am So many lovely things being mentioned too. Affogato - yum. Cookies - double yum. Loving the menu!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

speak English guys 🙂 lol thanks to internet -
Wikipedia: "An affogato is a coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. As the drink has evolved it is now perfectly acceptable to have multiple scoops of ice cream" Yuuuumy! I'll have one of them. 🙂
