Tn0g · 12/12/2008 22:15

Do you feel better now?

Wonder why you felt sick

We're all ok.

G's got a bad cold, hacking cough, off school, bit of a nightmare trying to juggle students in the back of the house and G on the sofa in the living-room.

Gave him a bell to ring when he needed something

He was like a bloody town crier in the end

I was worn out.

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:18

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:19

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:21

I have a vision of you squashing in lots of students

on top of each others shoulders....

Tn0g · 12/12/2008 22:21

why stressed?

I'm being nosey so ignore if you want.

Dh has a vaccine?

Could make him a fortune with a bit of luck, maybe

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:25

the vaccine he was working on when doing the doctoriate

yes could make money
he was going to only do it if he worked for a company making pils .....what is it called
,,,but they seem to be doing it now

not sure if the university will benefit a lot more than him....

we will see...

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:28

my cards are no further
have not even had the latest pictures printed yet

I seem to get waylaid

by cooking
moping
swiffering
dog walking
child care
shopping
dusting
tidying

think I will get a nanny for the dog...

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:33

night tnog

I need sleep,

take care all

..........

Tn0g · 12/12/2008 22:34

Working from home is difficult sometimes.

You just have to be focused.

When G was a lot younger and I was concentrating more on commissioned pieces I had to learn to work around him, now it's kind of easier because with the teaching it's more routined.

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:38

that is where I fail

not focused...

must force myself
must achieve something for myself

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:40

I have the urge to try to be a super mum

and just wear myself out

sends self to bed

Tn0g · 12/12/2008 22:46

A bit of space and time to develop your own identity again after you've had children is really difficult.

I struggle so much I feel like I'm just about treading water but sometimes I go right under.

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:51

you are so right

think when dd was young i gained myself back after a messy divorce

but have moves so much
think of others more than me

my idendity is

well i could not describe myself
that is not right is it

VienneseTart · 12/12/2008 22:52

really need sleep and should hide puter
not used it really this week

am going to ponder on who i am

off truly ...

Tn0g · 12/12/2008 22:56

I don't know, Tarty.

I also feel it because I'm getting older and I look in the mirror and don't recognise myself anymore.

You know that line in David Gray's song about being so definite,

I used to be so definite

well I'm not anymore.

DingDongMummyLinOnHigh · 13/12/2008 14:37
