What’s Happening In Your House?

[BrandyandBabycham]

DD11 went back to school yesterday & it hasn’t exactly been plain sailing. I had a chat to her mentor/additional needs support worker & felt much better. She’s brilliant. I have cried over her more than once. Wish I could take her to secondary school! Today seems to have been less fraught which is good.
I have made a start on sorting/putting away the piles of clothes in our room. Can’t believe how much stuff 3 people have! Later I need to do a load of trying on & see what’s going to charity/being recycled. To my horror my weight has crept up to 12 stone so some of my things won’t fit. Too much wine during lockdown 🙁 I did get down to 9 stone but will aim for around 10 as I looked a bit gaunt at 9.
Tea sorted as DH made the most gorgeous double crust chicken & mushroom pie last night so we will re - heat it with peas. Later I will have a trawl through some online yoga sessions to see what will suit me. I really want to take it up again, also Pilates which does me so much good. Periodically I consider returning to karate but will need to get rid of my plantar fasciitis first. Might watch the Long Lost Family special about foundlings. Always get extremely emotional as DD is adopted

Where is everyone?

Just got back from a very long family walk. DH and I self-employed and WFH but very little work on for either of us right now. DC both off school as they would have been on study leave, so not much change from lockdown. DS1 currently playing piano, DH gardening, DS2 is reading and I am ordering a curry takeaway for a treat as we've cooked every night of lockdown except three and I'm knackered.

I'm here.

DP is sitting on the sofa working.

DS (7) is in his bedroom probably on a screen (and not meant to be). He spent the morning doing online lessons, did some reading and listened to a couple of BBC educational history things then was set free.

DD is in her bedroom doing her homework having spent most of the day sitting at her desk doing on line lessons and then going to a BLM protest with DP.

The cats are both asleep.

I'm slumped on the sofa summoning up the energy to empty the dishwasher and make dinner. and please don't mention the washing pile again its relentless

Ds on his iPad, other ds relaxing in his room after work, dh on the phone to his friend who is having a rough time, I’m on the couch, resting my tired little legs after work, it’s been a traumatic week at work so I’m happy for a day off tomorrow.

House is a shit tip because of me being at work , dh & ds home. Nothing for tea yet.

Happy to be home relaxing.

We've just had our gourmet dinner of sausages and beans. DH is in the bath, DS1 and DS2 are 'fighting' with a beanbag and will get in the bath water after DH. I'm mnetting and regretting eating lots of mini flapjacks.
Will be an early night for me once the kids are in bed as DS2 likes to wake up at 5am, I have had the day from hell at work and I've started re-reading all the Jilly Cooper books so looking forward to reading in bed!
Not sure where DCat is, last I saw she was chasing a rogue cat biscuit around the kitchen.

Glad to hear about the support your DD has in school, I know having the right persom there for them can make such a difference.
Dbaby is in bed here (he goes to bed at 6pm - just cannot stay up any later)
I'm being lazy on the sofa, managed to get my all my work done in my normal work hours today, even though I had ds6 and dbaby here to look after aswell. I just put on S1 Ep1 of the US office for something funny and easy to watch.
Ds and dp are making homemade pizzas, they have the bases made and are just going on to make the sauce. Ds is really excited. I'm actually going to eat it the pizza tonight as I'm taking a brief (10 minute) break from trying to lose weight!
