Mission

Morning Jas and all who follow

My ds starts school today I wasn't going to feel about it but my emotions are creeping up on me! I just know I'll cry (but will do my best to save it till I'm home...) I had a big wave of regret for the 3rd baby we never had and won't have now last night which made me v I love the two we have and know I'd have found a third hard work but there was a period of a few months when I think we'd have gone for it and had another - that's all passed now and I can't see us going back to babies again now....I thought I was over it and had accepted that my family was complete...I think I know we're good as we are really, there's just that teeny tiny 'what if?' in my mind today

Anyway - must dash and get some pics of ds all smart and ready for school.

See you later x

Morning All

jas thanks for the thread.have a great day.
shouldbe hope ds's first day at school isn't too upsetting for you{{hugs}}.I am sure he will love it!
Just caught up on yesterdays thread GO poor wee Ed, it must have been very scary for you both.
luda hows the car?
FGS love your dd's glasses, she looks cute as can be.great choice of frames
yadd your post make me
aufish glad the sausage pie was a hit.
Welcome to kimellajoe the flyladies on this thread are fab. good lick with the flying.
Hi to tort, miahami,hippi,scattyspice,bigbear.

As always if I've missed anybody sorry

Ahh Shouldbe, I felt just like that yesterday.

DS started school (with a few wobbles) and I got chatting to a mum who had just had her 3rd. No more babies for me either.

Its a complicated time eh?

Mornin all others, can't keep up with the thread very well as internet time keeps getting squeezed.

Second day at school this pm (hope he still wants to go ).

Hello I'm back from the schol run. Dd is settled into her new class and ds was completely fine in his too I wan't worried about him - he's been very excited about going and barely looked up to say goodbye to me once we got into the classroom I'm fine too actually, not as emotional as I expected..a little perhaps at the end of our toddler era but that'll soon pass as we move into the next phase (I hope!)

Anyway, back to FLYing!

I only have 2 1/2 hours but need to
~hoover throughout
~mop downstairs
~wm on
~s&s kitchen
~make beds
~put all/some laundry away

Better get on, see you all later x

OK, I lied, I'm not fine Have been sobbing loudly like some sort of madwoman while hoovering what the hell is wrong with me?
I'm really fine about ds starting school, I really am, it's great for him to be in the same place as dd and he's so keen to learn etc that I can't be sad about that...it's the whole 'what do I do next?' thing I suppose....
At least the house is getting a good hoover while I'm trying to cover my tears

Oops! I started a new thread! Hello, am back from the school run. Kids are all shattered and not happy about going to school.

My to do list:

The porch
The hallway
washing up and drying up
tidy the kitchen again!
clean the hob
prepare tea - pork hotpot, yummy!
tidy the front room
hoover
put away the ironing

Right I had better get on with it all as time is ticking on. Morning to everybody!

morning everyone ah shouldbe I feel a bit strange too about d/d starting school too although she was fine. Hope it is not just the novelty factor. It does help having older sibling at the school.

It is a huge change for everyone. If my hubbywasn't here i'd probably be crying too.

To do:

FIND PE KIT BAGS they have vanished at the last minute
big sort out of paper work
spare room tidy up big style.

as well as usual
kitchen
bathroom
bedroom
quick tidy around

girls room turn upside down looking for pe bags.

haven't been here in ages but new term and new resolutions to try and fly and get organised. (dream on icon)

awww shouldbe go ahead have a good cry. It must be really strange with them now both at school. I can't offer advice..but I am sure the next chapter/phase will be just as exciting/fun.{{hugs}}
aufish good luck with the list.
scatty hope your los enjoys the 2nd day of school.

Tried typing list..to long will be back later once I am slighty more organised. DW & WM both on & filling for Shepherds pie done.

Have a great day all.x.x

MLR I was just thinking about you yesterday.Couldn't remember if your hubby was home or not. Glad to hear that he is home safe & sound. Hope dds enjoy school.

Ohhhh shouldbe Theres nothing wrong with you !Its only natural you're feeling like this (yeah I know that helps a lot )

Morning all!

After my disastrous (sp) day yesterday, I have to make up for lost time. Dd has a 1 hour visit in her reception class this afternoon (and same tomorrow, in preparation for starting next week) so I have to get a move on to take my mind off it.

So, will declutter hallway (same as yesterdays mission, no?)
I also need to wash up breakfast things, hang laundry out when m/c finishes, and want to dust and straighten the downstairs of the house.
Also need to get a loaf of bread on the go (breadmaker).

Will be back later!

Thanks
I'm feeling better now - hopefully the worse of the tears are out of my system
Seeing the upstairs of the house tidy for the first time in 6 weeks is making me feel miles better about having the house to myself again

I've been busy.
~hoover throughout done
~mop downstairs done
~wm on done
~s&s kitchen
~make beds done
~tidy everything into correct rooms upstairs done
~put all/some laundry away done some
~s&s bathroom done

Need to get ready to collect ds again soon then I think I'm going to take him out for a big-grown-up-schoolboy lunch somewhere

Hello

Had a difficult morning today. Not as dramatic as yesterdxay but hard. Ed has been awful. I had to go to the doctors re my meds and Ed just would not do as he was told. and the same at the pharmacy and in the shops. n the end he was licking the dustbin (ewwh) by the bus stop and again would not listen...I ended up clipping him round the ear . It's only me he's terrible for. I must be a bad mum.

Plus MIL refused to care for him so I could go to work as she's taking the other grandchild to computers. I only needed her to have them both for 30 mins and I offered to pay for cabs to and from her school. Ed is seen as an inconvieniece rather than a grandchild. I have always had the feeling that I'm not worthwhile as I don't work (SIL works FT you know) but when I get the chance to earn some cash the ladder is drawn up.

So I 'm rather down atm.

Oh done list (sorry for the rants)

Showered
Dressed
S&S loo
S&S bathroom
Take upstairs recycleables to green bin

I'm working tomorrow, at least MIL agreed to have him then. Hope other DGK doesn't get in the way. I'll stash any cash towards xmas

Oh, GO You know he plays you up becuse he knows you will love hm no matter what. It is hard, but you are doig a geat job. and alittle that your mil makes things so much harder for you.

shouldbe - I suspect I may feel the same when ds goes to school, too. Thankfuly a long way off for me.
I got the shoes, thankyou. The baseball boots are particularly lovely

I've moved more stuff out of our room, but still need to tidy up the bits that are left, and do a quick run around downstairs.

I was never a morning person before children, but after 8 years of early starts I'm getting used to it. By 1 o'clock I'm flagging abit, though, and by 4 I just want to fall asleep on the sofa.

Hi everyone!
Shouldbe hope you are feeling a little better now and had a lovely lunch with your ds!
GO - i really hope you are a little happier now it is hard isn't it, my mil has been abit like that at times too.
Today i have only done the basics, no time at all for flying, we are out straight after school for a club, one of my dc has a club every night after school, takes a good 2 and half hours out of every afternoon/evening, not good for flying
Don;t really know how i will catch up with the missions and stuff at the moment, trying to not get too stressed about it.

Hello Flypeeps,
Sounds like a fair few of us have got little ones going off to school and nursery for the first time.My 2 started yesterday one at pre school and one at reception.They both loved it and didn't want to leave at home time.
Saskia my 3 year old came home like she'd done an assault course.Trousers covered in mud and her new shiny shoes were so scuffed i had to bin them.I asked her what happened and she said they played football.
Oh well she only came back covered in yogurt today.The house is very quiet but on the plus side it is sooo tidy.
Have been running various errands most of the day so only a litle flying done.Really need to do the play room but think it will have to wait till tomorrow.Am off to pick Charlotte up in a mo so am going to have a quick whip round with the hoover and dust before i set off.Saskia is fast asleep bless.

What lovely ladies you all are.

GO agree with others, Your DS sounds like most 4 yos with their Mam, (and yer MIL sounds a right PITA).
SB - Tis only natural to have mixed feelings right now.

Actually I'm a bad Mam as have dispatched DS to school for second time (he seems to be enjoying it) without a coat, and now its raining .

Fly wise - agree w Hip similar mission to yesterday (just as well though).

thanks ehm my d/d is now sleeping on settee not quite the routine i wanted she is exhausted after her first morning but loved it. Doesn't want to come home at lunch as she wants to play with big sister at lunch.

I too went for lunch with d/d and hung around waiting for 3.25 pick up nightmare. sooner she can go for a full day the better.

Found pe kit under my d/h jumper on computer chair after me turning the house upside down.
typical.

go why is it kids to that to their mum's it's as if they have a built in radar to play up at the very wrong time. hope your day has improved massive list.

bye for now

We are back to the term time routine with a bang today. After school clubs haven't started yet, but Rainbows and Brownies have, so I 've been dashing back and forth dropping girls off and picking up. After 1/2 term dd2 can move up to Brownies, which will make things less of a rush for me, but mean I have to take ds out at bedtime to collectthem as the lady who gives dd1 a lift home won't have space in her car for two.

I'm going to do my evening routine and eat chocolate. See you tomorrow.

Hello

Ds had a great morning and we had a fun lunch then a play at the playground together
Dd enjoyed her day too but I'm already worrying about her perfectionist tendancies - she's already being very self-critical about some work she did at school today that she's not happy with

GO you're not a bad mum! In my experience kids are often naughtier in the presence of their parents, it's hell-ish when you're going through it but you are not alone, I expect every mother has been in your shoes at some time or another (I've been there several times!) And your MiL isn''t helping - mine does the comparing with SiL thing too !

I have to go and save dh from the nightmare which is unfolding as he tries to get the kids ready for bed.
Hope everyone else is OK! x

Glad you got the shoes Jas
