Wish there was something I could do to help :hug99: - I don't have kids so no idea what to suggest (I would open a bottle of wine myself but probably not a good idea when you have kids to look after) in fact most of my suggestions would probably be illegal!!!!!!!!
Bren xx
Bottle of wine sounds good & I'd like to hear some of those suggestions Bren, bet they'd put a smile on my face!
Hi hun,
Sometimes you dont have to be doing stuff with them, and like us, sometimes all they want to do is veg!!! Its not a reflection on you, they get tired and cranky and overwhelmed too. You are a brill mum, but its not all about them. Take the time that they are vegging in front of the tv, and get a book, do some mini's reading, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Hugs. xxxxxxxx
Thanks Clarri... I guess its easy to forget that they need veg time too & that they've been non-stop for 2 weeks too! Thank you. xxx
oh honey x i know you wish you could stay on holiday forever xxx big hugs xxxx before you went away did they want to watch TV all the time?
No not all the time but they do love their tv, I just felt that after 2 weeks without it we could use it less but to be fair they need some chill out time too. xx
Oh sorry your feeling like that hun...
Maybe the kids are just tired and happy to just have bit of chillaxing time now their back in the comfort of their own surroundings chuck..nowt to do with you so dont feel sad matey...heres a big squishy ((((hug)))) for ya xxx
As always yr right Miss Fuzzy!! Thanks for my hug... can't beat a squishy one!
Amalies just had a mammoth 3 hour sleep so I guess theres alot of catching up to do & instead of making the most of the time & doing somethings around the house I had a snooze on the sofa!!
I think probably the fact I only have 22 days til my op is affecting me too... have my pre-op tomorrow & the nerves are starting to kick in so maybe the emotions are too....
I suspect my thoughts of being out & having fun doing things with the kids instead of our 'normal' routines are down to my head thinking all sorts of things...
What if I don't make it thru the op?
What if I have massive complications?
What if I struggle to do anything for months the otherside?
I'm also beating myself up about not getting my eating under control but I know in 2 weeks I'll be on my pre-op diet & then it'll be all change forever!!
I've been so calm & settled about everything til now but guess at some point my head will start releasing all these feelings out that I didn't realise I was feeling!!
Now I'm rambling.... shut up woman!!
