Just finishing off April on this thread before I head over to May!
ED, so sorry about your sad news yesterday. [Flowers] And Fluff, sorry about your holiday. Disappointing, even if it is for everyone's safety and health.
Busy busy again yesterday:
♥️ DW rotated (although I must be honest, DS2 emptied it when he cooked in the middle of the night)
🧡 LOL
💛 S&S
💚 Dog walked
💙 Floor swept
💜 Cake baked (this is getting to be daily. Must slow down!)
🖤 Chicken defrosted for tea
♥️ Telephone counselling. Was hard and horrid. I'd pushed all that stuff to the back of my mind for a reason 😢
🧡 Tesco - took 3 hours this time because I met two actual people that I knew and stopped for a socially-distanced chat. Sadly heard that a Spanish friend's father passed away in Madrid, from Covid-19, recently. She was not able to be there. Makes it all much more real.
💛 Not scrubbing shopping, but came home and scrubbed me!
💚 Birthday coffee and cake by Messenger with DMum, DSis and DBro. Between us, we gave Mum a happy day, I think.
💙 Made chicken pasta bake / veggie pasta bake / chicken in vinaigrette with mash for tea. And fish fingers for DS3, which definitely abbreviate to FFS for a reason!
💜 Had a glass of wine and a long chat with DH about counselling
🖤 Went to bed early with my book! It's Early Riser by Jasper Fforde and is about people hibernating / going to sleep, so I never manage to read more than 3 paragraphs...
Foxes shouty days are only to be expected when you are all on top of each other all the time. It will not hurt the DC to realise that Mummy Is Not A Robot and is affected by tension and bad moods too.
Verytired lovely pic of your boys, although I had to go back and look again for the Extra Child! Very well disguised, have you considered putting his name down for MI5? 😁
Lane, thank you for brilliant thread leading and giving us so much to consider via the KCC this month. Really not sure what the positives and achievements of lockdown have been here - getting through it? Perhaps they are more about understanding my family - that we all need different things and are not really an amorphous mass of 6 human beans.
🍒🙋 to Lisette, KT, Bower, Hazel, That, zoo, We3, Chic, Strawberry and everyone else (I know I'm missing a couple of names, sorry - I just can't hold more than 9 in my head). See you on the May thread!
