Hey @Bow.… I hear it’s hard especially with your step dad. When are you and D going to Disney on ice?

We go Wednesday night @Captain24

At least you've got something to break the week up @Bow .

I can relate to what you are saying. Honestly? I'm kindda dreading tomorrow...I sort of don't want it to happen. Nothing in particular is happening, but it's life back to 'normal' with the kids (my nieces and nephew). I have been having a great time with them while they are on holidays.

We've been just mucking around, baking together, going out, reading stories, having sleepovers.... so good just no having to rush around with school uniforms and lunches etc. During school weeks, I don't spend much time with them.

Of course, we have our screaming matches too.. the answering back, the cheekiness, the attitude, the tears... but it's okay. They're kids.

So yeah... that's my hesitation for the next 10 weeks or so. I'm not sure how long this next school term is.

Does D know yet? @Bow. Is it something you can focus on? I hear it’s overwhelming.

@tyme I enjoy holidays too. The casual easy slow days. No rushing around, even though I like routine, school week routines as a mum I don’t like so much. Making sure lunches are packed, small humans are clean and hair is done. I put my daughters hair in plats yesterday, lots of them. She loves them. It will keep her hair neat and tidy for a few days and I don’t have to deal with the tears and screams cause of knots.

but today is Monday. The start of a new week…. Of nothingness. Yeah we have Disney on ice on Wednesday. Daughter still doesn’t know @Captain24 i think I will tell her when it’s time to get ready to go. I teased her yesterday that we have a surprise. But that I wasn’t giving her any clues.
my CM attempted to make 2 appointment for me to see her this week. I am not going. I do not wish to talk to her.

oh, I dreamt last night that SANE chat was back up today. That would be nice.

Hi @Bow

I am so sorry to hear about your step dad hon.

My dad died when my kids were about 9 and 7 and it was so difficult to tell them leading up to it. But they coped better with it then I did.

I am sure you will do what feels right for you and your D. You show so much strength and compassion hon.

Please know whilst I am not around at the moment, that I am here for you, listening in the background.

I can't wait until we can get back to our normal conversations.

Look after yourself hon, you are so worth it. Sending so much love your way💜💜💜

Hey @Bow.

Just popping by to say I’m thinking of you.

How is your step dad doing?

How are you coping and your D?

Thanks @Snowie @Captain24

my step dad is still in hospital. Mum says he has picked up a little bit and they are just waiting for the palliative care team to come and see him- they don’t work of a weekend, so hopefully today and we should have more of a plan.
he wanted a pair of slippers, so D and I picked out a pair when we did the groceries this morning and dropped them off on our way home.

Im trying to be as ok as I can be. It’s not the best circumstances, but it’s nice having the place to ourselves. D is ok too.

I’m glad he has picked up a little @Bow. Hopefully you can get a plan together to get him home where he is comfortable.

It is difficult circumstances for you and I’m sorry you are going through this. I’m glad D is ok though.

Enjoy having the place to yourselves while you can.

Sending big hugs to you

Thanks @Captain24 im fairly flat this afternoon. Realised I haven’t had anything nourishing at all today. 😩
