Goodnight @Snowie .... I hope you do too Hon ..... ❣️

I saw a little dog that looked like Izzy yesterday.  

[Zoe7]

Sounds like good advice from F&H @oceangirl - goodluck with the assignment. 

@Faith-and-Hope I am going to log off early - really exhausted tonight and have a headache again so going to take some meds and hope for sleep to come very soon. I will catch up with you more tomorrow 

Goodnight to all that pass through this thread

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7

Hope today has some nice moments in there 

[Faith-and-Hope]

Thank you @Snowie ...... you too ❣️

At the coffee shop in my jammies at the moment ..... they don’t look like jammies tho ...... and I have a long cardi, scarf and uggies on. I want to shower at some point today, after a walk in the pool ...... and that will be after sitting with S2 while he completes the assignment that wasn’t finished last night ..... which will likely take all morning once I get home ...... so there was no use changing really ...... I’ll do.

💜❄️

Hi @Zoe7, if you’re up and about yet .... 👋🦋💕

[Snowie]

@Faith-and-Hopejammies are fine for a coffee shop! 

Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of you.

Fairly full, but slow-moving @Snowie ......

I have had a lifetime of rushing ....... and now so know why - mr.’s “condition is one where time never seems to be enough so he lives like a cyclone ....., I had thought it was owing to our circumstances, but know I can see that this state of mind creates compounded, over-extended circumstances.

Now I am choosing to go slow ....... while he continues to live his life as a cyclone.

[Snowie]

Slow moving is good @Faith-and-Hope and even better if you are choosing this. I can imagine Mr is in cyclone mode, however no one can live that way forever....

Am very slow moving here today, only chemist on the radar, H home keeping eyes on me.....

[Faith-and-Hope]

He has been living that way for a long time @Snowie ...... but that is going to be up to someone else to sort out with him at some point. At least my go-slow mode is showing the kids that catastrophic living is not the norm, and they don’t have to follow that example.

With so much going on when the kids were younger, I used to make the school holidays a go-slow zone, but then mr. started to plan holidays away every school break ...... which was fine when we were going on chill-out type holidays ...... and the kids were young enough for me to insist on a rest time during the day. This suited mr. as he threw himself into work online during our down-times.

When we started overseas travel he created punishing schedules, and I had to point out to him that we were returning the kids to school exhausted instead of rested after each holidays .......

It’s so clear in hindsight, understanding more about the nature of this thing. I think it will help the kids to moderate themselves. They are genetically half me ...... and I have an idea that my personality type and my mr.’s often find each other as a pairing .......

I expect we will learn more about that eventually too .......

I’m on my second coffee ..... 😊
