    Had such a lovely day! Last night didn't start great, J has A's tablet set to stop working at 8pm and she kicked off and started kicking T. I dragged her to the edge of the sofa, threatened to dangle her over my shoulder and told her she'd be staying home with me if she didn't behave. Within 5 minutes she had me lying on the floor doing scratchy unicorn pictures and within 10 minutes, T had joined us and was sat talking to me about football. I got chosen to do bedtime stories too. J said he loved listening to her talking to me

    Today was lovely, managed to get half an hour cuddling before we had to get the children up. Got them sorted with breakfast and kicked upstairs to brush teeth and get ready. A fairly quiet drive up to Keighley and an enjoyable journey. I love steam trains!!! And we went through the station in The Railway Children tii which was cool!!! Had a bit of a kick off from A again over not being allowed her tablet for a 2 minute drive and she ended up hurting T, so she got a good talking to and made to apologise while T got a huge hug from me. Then while they looked in the magazine room, me and A went exploring in the museum.

    Your first proper family day . And I’m glad you feel comfortable setting boundaries for the kids
    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.

    Oh J dealt with A when she kicked off but she seemed to respond better to me when she was running off. She's fearless

    Awwwww so glad you had such a lovely day! They'll remember it too! A day where they were allowed to be kids, to misbehave, but have consequences appropriate and then rewarded after the incident has passed. For them to respond so well to you already is so awesome.

    How are you feeling love?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Tired and headachey. Only just managed to eat as I fell asleep before I put my phone on charge and had a hospital appointment so didn't have time for breakfast. My wrists are throbbing but the ultrasound shows no inflammation. My ankles feel ok, just slightly achey, yet the ultrasound shows inflammation in my ankles! And my left plantar fascia has thickened. Just need to wait and see my consultant now to see what she says.
