Feeling a bit exhausted...emotionally

[samnotluke]

Well with the storms and all this week, I'm feeling emotionally exhausted. At least at the end of it all, it isn't the thunder and lightening that they are now afraid of, but the wind. Its hard getting all animated and excited everytime the storms hit, and also making sure that I don't show any sign of worry about the weather. Hopefully now I can

Winter is hard... and parenting when you can't get people outside to run around is especially hard!

I have also found it hard at times when I've had less support then I expected or was used to.

I love hearing about the stories you make up to stop your girls from being frightened and the stories that they tell you! You do such a good job of making their lives fun and interesting, and that's something I've got better at with my boys through knowing you! You're an awesome mum. Hang in there!

I'll be driving back without the boys about 8-9 on Sunday.
If you aren't busy (do you game on Sundays?) I could pop in for a quick cuppa?

A quick cuppa on sunday sounds great, aren't gaming.

Thanks I appreciate that you like the stories that I tell the girls. Its nice to know that there is more than them that are impacted by them.

With my Mum away and Sweets and I both being ill, I realise how much she helps. Especially now that Sweets is more active. Another week and a half and she'll be back.

Yeah I knew that it was going to be hard this time round. They are gone for four weeks longer this time round. What I hadn't anticipated was how much their absence was going to affect the girls.

Hope you are feeling better soon. I too an struggling with a snotty nose, but it sounds minor compared to what you are contending with.

If I get a cough it is always terrible. I just haven't had one for ages. I woke Sweets up last night with coughing. Le sigh. Friends visiting this weekend, cooked us dinner last night and took Sweets out this morning with their two. I really think extra sleep is helping me. Feel better today.

I hope you get better soon. I am finally heading out of the house without tissues for the first time in two weeks. Still not 100% bet better. Feel like i'm living on coffee and chocolate which isn't really conducive to good health at the moment.

I hope you're feeling better now.

Perhaps you can get some kites to help make the wind seem like their friend (the wind helps our kites to fly!)?

I am thank you, and once I get a full nights sleep I will be even better.

Heading to Petes Emporium tomorrow. It always reminds me to Larp costume shopping :)
