Hiya all, well we’re in lockdown here and not really sure when it will end. We hadn’t planned to meet up with anyone at Christmas so it doesn’t change anything there but I just feel so upset. DS2 has only ever known a world like this, he’s never gone to a cafe, or to baby group or even to soft play with his siblings. He’s only known his own house and the park. He’s not been held by anyone other than me, DH, the DC and my midwife. He hasn’t met his grandparents or aunties and uncles or cousins. It makes me so desperately sad, and I know he won’t remember it but we’ll never get this time back. I’m worried about entertaining the DC, we live in a small village with basically nothing to do. I’m worried about them going back to school and catching the virus. I’m okay when I don’t think about it but yesterday I reflected on everything and it made me feel crap. I just want to see my family again. We are all so close and would have get togethers for everyone’s birthdays, it makes me so sad that I’ve missed out on so many. I know everyone’s in the same boat but I just wish we weren’t in the boat to begin with!.
I’ve given myself today to be kind to myself. We went for a walk earlier, we’ve watched Fred Claus and played some games. Santa came to our street last night, the DC got a picture with him and they were so happy. They’re still so excited for Christmas and it’s keeping me going. They’re still excited, Santa is still coming to visit them, they still get to be with their parents and their siblings and we’re going to try and make it the best Christmas we can. So I’ve decided to try and perk up, I’m going to have a bath after dinner and freshen myself up a bit and give the house a good tidy, then I’m going to plan activities for us to do everyday. It’s a crap time but I need to stay positive!.
sing she took to it really well, I was very impressed!. I’m sorry to hear about your friend that sounds so difficult. I hope that you can get you’re heating sorted soon. Love the memes again!.
So sorry to hear about being in tier 4 foxes💐. It’s understandable to feel the way you do, just be kind to yourself.
Thank you tinselette, it’s horrible when they’re ill isn’t it. Love the 4 stages of man😂. Good luck with the homeschooling.
ED I can knit but I don’t do it as much as I should, I never find them time!. Well done on getting your list done.
Sorry you’re feeling like you’re unravelling zoo can your DC help you out at all to take some pressure off you?. Sorry about the lack of sleep again. Well done on getting the wrapping done!
I’m sorry to hear you’re in tier 4 wooly💐 I’m glad DS1 was able to get back. Sorry about DS2’s gf’s parents, that sounds really tough. Love the crafts!
up I’m glad to hear your plans are still able to go ahead!
Glad to hear the migraine is better hills, I don’t have FB but my family group chat is going crazy. I think people are angry that we were promised something they couldn’t give us, it’s been handled very poorly.
tidy well done on doing all that, I’d definitely be boasting!
mc my house is dishevelled every day!. I hope you can get your car sorted out!.
Since I started the first post I’ve managed to have a bath, walk to the shop with DS1 and get some biscuits and milk, watch frozen 2 and bath and put the kids to bed. I’m going to give the kitchen a good clean now and the bathroom. Will hoover as well. Feeling very emotional but much more put together. Big hugs to everyone here who’s struggling and a massive thank you to you all. I’ve not been on this thread long and you’ve all made me feel so welcome and it’s lovely to have people to chat to.
