Need a happy thought

[Cbell]

OK so this might be a bit of a grump but bear with me.

DD was ill last week, thankfully she is all better now. We had a nice weekend but now DH is ill. So he spent yesterday in bed. I am feeling FED-UP of looking after people.

We had a bad night and I am struggling to find the enthusiasm to parent today.

So yes I just need to pull it together and in an effort to do this I thought I would ask...."What are your happy thoughts" that pulls you through emotional slumps?

looking forward to when its my turn for a lie in . I hate days like that, am having one today actually where I am just so knackered, but actually I am at work which is preferable to being at home with DCs when I feel like this. Look forward to DDs nap time and when it comes, have a and and don't do housework or anything else. Is your DP so ill he can't come downstairs and at least keep you company for a bit?

I look forward to naptime. I look forward to bedtime. I look forwards to sharing the childcare at the weekends.

Could you treat yourself to a lovely early night tonight? Or something else you'd enjoy? Def lay off the housework and cook easy meals.

Just little things I suppose, looking forward to the next pleasant thing I'm planning to do e.g have a jacket spud with some chilli I made yest,for lunch. Put washing out, if the sun ever comes out and the drizzle stops (BBC weather report- bloomin' useless) and hopefully find time this afternoon to have a cuppa and read my new craft magazine.

DS age 12 is currently off school having been sent home sick yest. Now hoping it will not pass to the rest of us. Been to Morrisons this morn and got bumper pack of dettox wipes, more cloths and gloves and THANK GOODNESS I suddenly had the urge to buy a large bowl in Tescos on Sat, perfect for sick.

Hope your crew are feelin better soon and wishin' we lived in a bug free world...
