Better day today.
Fran didn’t wake up till 9am (unheard of!) by which time i’d been down a while and got some jobs done. So we started well and it’s been a nice day.
First we read “A Farm through Time” which we all really enjoyed and was a rather fantastic everyone snuggled up to each other on the sofa under a fleece blanket moment. Good book, liked it a lot. Nostalgic somehow. Maddy and i played with a reading readiness set, Amelie and i sat at the table together and cut up paper (as you do), Fran and i did more Greek City Building together. She’s just achieved her first solo city of 1000 people. Quite an achievement. She also did a revision subtraction exercise perfectly.
So all in all, it feels good. Plus, having attempted to get myself together in a 2 week plan, i’ve acknowledged that my chemicals have gone a bit wonky (as has happened about a 9 months to a year after every baby so far, so i’d call that a pattern!) and done something about it. I don’t like experiencing over high levels of anxiety and paranoia because of chemical imbalances, so i’ve dealt with it. And thank you to the two people who have listened kindly and patiently over the last few days, especially given its been quite above and beyond the call of duty really. I’ve appreciated it and won’t forget it 🙂
Tomorrow we are doing Thanksgiving (Beans, i’m mailing you and not hearing back but assume you are probably not able to come anyway – feel free to say if you can) and Thursday is group. Suddenly life feels properly bright again. Thank goodness for self knowledge and a bit of experience. I think i like my 30’s.
may well not make it, as neither chris or me can drive. sorry for the non communication, have only just switched on ‘pute, and also realised mobile ran out of juice.
Hugs
I think 30’s are good! I quite like it. WE have a farm thro time, and a street thro time, both lovely books.
I’ve got a complete over-reactin going on to getting older. I don’t want any bits of my life to be over and regularly throw unreasonable tantrums about it. But i must admit that although i wobbled for England about turning 30, i have really enjoyed it so far. It may get slightly scarier when i get to 35+ though.
I turn 30 in January and am actually looking forward to it. My twenties have certainly been a journey, and although I have no doubt my 30’s will be too, I think I know who I am and what I want from life.
It’s nice to hear people say they’re good as I’ve got plenty of people reminding me I’m soon to enter the next decade of my life!
I just tell myself that when I’m in my 60s or 70s, my 40s will seem really young!
Yeah – i know – i don’t feel old, i just feel like a particularly important part has gone past very swiftly and i’m mourning it a bit – s’not the same thing.
Obviously i’d like to have got thin, gorgeous,sexy and witty by now, but i think i may have to accept that won’t happen now!
Don’t. I can distinctly remember tinking my parents were too old for sex at 34 and it was therefore safe to sneak into their room at 3am.
Up till then i think i had assumed they were at it constantly the minute our backs were turned!
It doesn’t seem that long ago since I thought people in their forties were past it!
Now DH is only 2 years away from 40 and a lot of our friends are in their 40’s.
How does life sneak past so fast?!
Oooh…NO!
Don’t go there! Just the thought of my parents at it still doesn’t sit easy with me, Lol!
