My Mosaic

Am ok @Bow

How is your day going?

We had market today @Snowie last one. Big storm went through in the early hours of the morning, woke us all up. But we decided to still go do market. Set up was fine, lots and lots of people about, short showers through the morning, but then another storm hit and lots of rain. So they called it and we packed up an hour early. It was pretty wet.

been in bed since we got home. Struggling to stay present keep drifting off

what you been doing?

Sorry about the market @Bow Hopefully you still sold a lot.

Was this the final market before xmas or do you have one more?

Our local market was cancelled due to a chance of lightning strikes!

I love the sound of storms but not when they wake you up in the early hours of the morning.

I'm sorry your struggling to stay present. Bed sounds like the best option for you at the moment.

Is there anything I/we can do to help?

I haven't done much. MIL called in for an unexpected cuppa. Went up the supermarket with hubby this morning, but wasn't there long. Just had to get a few things. Got dressed today so that was a positive!!

We haven’t even tallied up our sales yet @Snowie we had to hang our marquee and all the sides. Mums putting things through the dryer… and I’m in bed.

yeah it was our last market for the year. Thank goodness.

I love storms. The storm in the early hours was really good. Lots of loud rumblings for ages. And at market, there was the loudest crack of thunder, that was a little scary. Wasn’t sure whether the steel marquee frames would be dangerous with the lightening.

just some company and a distraction if you have the time. Thanks

Do you get along with your mil? And getting dressed is great!

Thats good about it being your last market for the year @Bow

Hopefully you can get some sleep in's

Does D like storms or is she scared of them?

We have a tin roof. I love the sound of the rain on it.

I've got plenty of time hon. Can certainly do company and distraction.

I do get along with my MIL. She is really lovely. Totally opposite to me. Loves her smokes and scotch!!

Couple of sleep ins maybe…. But then it’s only 11 days til we leave @Snowie

im itching to get my suitcase down and start packing! Need to make sure I have suitable jeans that will be comfy with thermals underneath if needed.

oh yes a tin roof! Think maybe mine is too. My room is an extension from the original house and my roof is different. But I do hear the rain and I love it.

my D is getting use to storms. She use to hate them, but she is getting better with them.

that’s nice that you get along with your mil

what are you having for dinner tonight? Need to figure out what I’m gonna have.

Thats exciting @Bow with 11 days left. Sort of feels real when you start packing!

You deserve to have a good time away hon, I hope you can.

Have you spoken to your supports about being away or what you can do if something goes wrong?

Not that you want it too, but I guess it's better to be prepared.

Is D getting excited? What is she like flying?

My MIL is so rough on the outside but underneath she is one of the most caring people I know!

I think we are just having toasted sandwiches for tea. Only hubby and I home. D at party and S staying at his friends house.

Did I tell you I got a new tattoo on Wednesday?

My supports know that I am going away, haven’t really spoken to them about things going wrong and what to do @Snowie im not really expecting anything to go too wrong, and I’ll have mum this time too. Fingers crossed!

d is a good flyer, but she did have some issues with her ears our last flight. So hoping that some antihistamines with help with that. She is excited though!

Oh what tattoo did you get???

you inspired me! I’ve just finished a toasted cheese sandwich.

D should be home soon, she’s at her fathers

Hopefully with your mum by your side that things go well @Bow

You will have to show us lots of photos when you get back!!

Thats good that she flies well. Is it a direct flight or do you have to take a few planes?

I'm sure all her friends and teachers are jealous of her, I would be!

I got a tattoo of my kids first name initial intertwined in a love heart. Wish I could show you but the tattoo artist put it on his Facebook and Instagram page.

I really can't be bothered cooking if its just hubby and me. We normally just have something easy.

We were going to go out for tea but the crickets on so we stayed home!

Does D still come home and not stay at her Dads house?

@Snowie Yep will take lots of photos! It’s a shame I can’t access the forums while away and take you all with me. I remember last time I went I had to email the sane team to get them to turn off all my email notifications.

we have a 2hr layover in Singapore both ways. Just enough time for a good stretch and bathroom break.

your tattoo sound lovely. I still need to get my first one.

We have ‘come and get it’ about once a week, usually after a market cause we’re all tired and can’t be bothered cooking.

D still doesn’t have sleep overs at her father’s. Which I’m fine with. Prefer her home with me of a night.
