Good day hacks

[Jumpersweet]

I had a bad day today. My DS was under the weather so I had to take some last minute annual leave. This meant scrabbling to tie up all the loose ends I intended to finish off today and feeling quite stressed about this.

DS got a bit better but his mood was still low and he was very emotional about a lot of things. It was one of those days that little thing after little thing kept going wrong and I felt very overwhelmed. I ended up seeking comfort in some of the Easter chocolate. I am now suffering from a low mood and banging head ache.

DH is working the bank hol tomorrow so it's just me and DS. Any ideas on how I can remain positive and have a better day?

Have you drank enough today - maybe some painkillers, a pint or two of water and an early night so that you're giving yourself the best chance of waking up feeling better tomorrow? SImilar for DS if he's not already in bed?

I don't know how old he is but would you both enjoy a film day, snuggled under duvets with some good mood food - fruit, maybe a stew or nice soup with good bread & butter for lunch, then a walk in the afternoon?

Thank you! I hadn't drank nearly enough. It was s day of pure sugar. We both kept solidly until just after 7 this morning which was blissful. That sounds a lovely day. I'm letting him call the shots today as we have nowhere to be while I try to do a couple of gentle chores in the background. We've just put the delivered food shop together, eaten breakfast, vacuumed the kitchen and are now still in our pjs with our bottles of water watching lion king. I feel so much more content today ☺️ I'll suggest a walk in a little while. Thank you! Hope you have a lovely weekend x

I was just coming to say 'get a little walk' but you're ahead of me there! Well-played, and have a lovely day! 😀

Oh I am glad you slept well, that's half the battle! You both sound lovely and I hope you enjoy a gentle, healing day together x
