Am Not Coping

[Zoe7]

I understand @Faith-and-Hope - good that your kids get it - they are old enough to understand what is happening  

I have an hour before the footy comes on so will get to cleaning the pots and then fill them with potting mix at half time. 

I hope all is well when you get home but if it goes the way you expect them I am sure you will tackle it with your usual grace - so hard I know when there is so much opposition but you are strong. 

Have fun at the library - I'll keep you updated on "Operation get herbs planted" 

[Faith-and-Hope]

Thanks @Zoe7.  

I left them all sleeping in this morning after their late night, except for D3 who went shopping with her Dad.  He is lavishing her with gifts.

[Zoe7]

She'll see through that too @Faith-and-Hope - she has come a long way this year and I know she wants you all to do things together but she will also be able to see what is happening - after all - you have raised your kids and what a wonderful role model for them to have

Pots cleaned and ready for potting mix @Faith-and-Hope - our little garden is progressing

Going to log off now and watch the footy @Faith-and-Hope Will put the potting mix in at half-time and then I can plant our herbs anytime with the light on outside ...we will have our garden planted today - yea - 'see' you in a few hours Hon 

[Faith-and-Hope]

Woo-hoo @Zoe7 .... 😁

I am still working in the library.  Mr has fed D2 without consulting me again, D3 is making her own lunch, and S2 is still asleep, so I am free to keep going for now.

Hi @Zoe7, you sound like you've covered all bases. I'd love to see you start back with 1/2 days. My x was a teacher. Its a hard profession. As for my house - all parties signed thethe 2month  contract with a 2wk window before locked in re subject to finance, pest & building inspections first. So just a 2wk wait. Thanks for asking. Not sure what to do with my stuff. No room here. Do I need any of it? With only 150k left & not eligible for any loans, I'll have to rent I guess, sucks, but i need to move on, a fresh start, and this has been the first genuine offer I've had on the house in a year on the market.

@Former-Member A couple of half days a week might be where we start but it depends on what happens over the next couple of months. We have decreased one of my night meds which means I am waking up much earlier - with the aim to try to get through the day without needing to sleep. Work we would space out so I work Monday and Friday and Wednesday is still DBT - that could be manageable with me also changing my chemist pickup and gp appointment on a Wednesday also. Tuesday and Thursday would be complete rest days.If that works then we would add in the Tues and Thurs for the last few weeks of term - the difficulty is how that would be managed by HR.

2weeks is not long to wait re: your house but I bet it will feel like an eternity. I hope it all goes through for you - you so deserve a break @Former-Member  Once the contract has gone through then you worry about all the cleaning up, sorting out and storage - or whatever you decide to do. I will join you on the declutter thread when the house sells to help you out as much as I can

@Faith-and-Hope Our potted garden has begun. I need to get some Marjoram as it seems I got 2 different Thyme plants and left the Marjoram - whoops lol 

The 2 terracotta pots at the back have butterflies on them and the smaller pots in the front are ones I have used for Basil seeds - I use a lot of Basil so planted a lot  The other pots are close to your favourite colour and mine - hope you like them
