Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Glad you got a few things done @Bow

Do you have to pick up D tonight?

Maybe helping to run the art class might be a really good thing. No doubt you have got the talent and ability to do it and probably lots of ideas, and if it is with your SW than you won't be alone.

I guess you will just have to see how you go in the next few days with your new meds. See if they help or not.

My day has been ok, haven't really done much. D and S are both at work and hubby is out so just me at home. Dreading tomorrow. What have you got on for tomorrow? (sorry if I have already asked)

I know things will pass, but in those moments I feel like I have no other choice. That there is only one way to end the pain.

Re: My Mosaic

Nah ex drops her back off @Snowie just after 6. Apparently she wants to try sleepovers again 😩😩 dreading it.

It will probably be good for me yes. Was just talking to mum about it and she said the same thing…. As long as it doesn’t stress me out!

tomorrow is a busy day for you hosting yeah?
we are doing breakfast us 3 at home- I got a pancake shake thing and some fresh berries. Might see if D wants to go to church and then bro SIL and niece are coming for lunch. Nothing too much, mum said to just get a chicken and some salads. And mum cooked a lemon meringue cheese cake which and smelt amazing!
then I think it will be a light and simple dinner is 3 again.


I need to build some Lego roses tonight. Was looking at flowers for mum and decided to go with Lego!

what’s for dinner for you??

Re: My Mosaic

Oh those sleepovers again @Bow I know they didn't go well last time so who knows what will happen this time. Is it D wanting them or your ex wanting them?

That sounds like a nice day tomorrow hon. I know you haven't been to church for awhile so might be nice for you and D to go. Does she enjoy it?

At least you don't have to organise much.

Have got mum, mil and sil and her family over for tea. I am just keeping it easy and doing meat on the barbie and brought salads already made. Hubby will cook so that will be ok.

I'm more worried about having to pretend like everything is ok. Thankful for prn and put my big girl pants on 🤦‍♀️

Oh lego roses sound nice, and at least the won't die!

D has some of the flower ones too.

Haven't worked out dinner yet. Will probably just have let overs from the freezer. Sometimes I just cook meals and freeze them for nights like this.

What are you having?

Re: My Mosaic

I think D probably wants to try them @Snowie i just hope they are unsuccessful again. I feel much better when I know she is safe at home. He could have her again on Sunday but he simply does not ask. He never asks for any extra time. Nothing in the school holidays, he hasn’t asked for time at Easter the last 2 years. Sigh. It sucks. I hate it.

D usually likes church. She gets to see a couple of her friends. I try convince her by telling her that they will probably do some Mother’s Day craft.

hopefully your hubby can do most of the work tomorrow for you! Yeah it’s hard having to pretend that everything is ok. So many awkward questions. I’m the same. I’m just use to saying that I’m ok, or good. People don’t really care anyways. People are just so use to asking questions for the sake of it cause it’s what you do.

we had a nice soup tonight. Mum cooked it for a couple of days with chicken feet in it.

Re: My Mosaic

I guess as she gets older she wants to try different things @Bow This might be one of them. I can see your hesitation with it. It is better that you know she is safe under your roof.

Everything I got was premade, so really don't have to do too much. If I ask hubby to do something he will, he is really good like that. I will however be glad once it is over.

Don't get me started on the phrase "how are you?" I'm like you and say ok or fine thanks. People wouldn't know what to do if I told them the truth. They just say it because it's the polite thing to do and part of society. I'm not blaming them, I've asked people the exact same question. It's what is taught to you growing up.

That sounds nice for tea. Soup is always good especially on a cold winters night.
