    I love that your priority is to move your books before any of your other possession
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I love being there with him and the children. It already feels like home.

    I am! We're going to start gradually moving my stuff in next month so I can start getting it unpacked and start spending more time there so the children can get used to things over time rather than it being a sudden thing. Plus it won't interfere too much with uni.

    The children are funny though. Last Thursday they came out of school and asked where I was so J told them "at home". A walked into the house shouting for me and T was disappointed when he realised J meant my home and not theirs. When we picked them up the Friday of the panto, A came running out of school shouting my name, took zero notice of her dad but came straight for me. This Friday, T said about granny and grandpa staying with them so J could pick me up, hence J coming for me early. It made me sad yesterday though. I was sat helping Thomas with his homework and J told me that he doesn't remember her ever sitting and helping him with his homework before. I've also made it clear to T that if he isn't happy about me moving in, it's really important he says so and that he won't be in trouble.

    I've always loved sitting with mine doing homework - even if it's stuff I have no idea about (simultaneous quadratic equations atm for eg or 3D trigonometry with Ben)because I love listening to them explaining things and just being in the same space they are and when they "get" something it's an amazing feeling. I'm so glad you're showing him how important his homework is and how important they are. They need that.

    T came out of school and asked when I'm staying next

    Had a tutorial this evening and about 15 minutes in, T messaged me to tell me he misses me.

    I may have become a little emotional...

    They're lovely children. They can be utter pains in the arse at times but which children can't?! They mean the world to me already
