    They have a week with us every 4 weeks. They go back to their mums today.

    They can be hard work but A has done some great work with me this week and T has realised he's not being let off no matter how long it takes. A said she likes me more than mummy...

    That made me grin!
    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.

    That's epic. I hope you frame that and you look at it every day!
    It's meant to be hard, and you're battling 2 sets of rules and expectations. But those little people are some of the luckiest in the world to have you there to love and guide them. You're amazing.

    Realised I've not updated in a while. Nothing much to say really. Fatigue is bad today and my hands have been stiffer than normal, but 2 weeks without my injections won't be helping. I've just had a phone call though and I'm getting a delivery on Thursday. The next week is busy. It's Father's day on sunday which means popping into Hull to take my dad his card and presents, popping to J's parents to take his dad his cards and presents, then making sure J has a nice day with the children. I have a telephone appointment with the rheumy nurse on Monday. Tuesday we need to go shopping really as it's T's half birthday on Thursday so I need to make a cake, bake some sweet treats and cheese straws and prep food as we're doing him a birthday tea, except J is on nights! (T's birthday is Christmas Day which is a rubbish day for a birthday, but even more so for a child, so they celebrate his birthday properly 6 months later as it tends to get a bit lost with it being Christmas). Also, we have homeschooling to do Monday and Friday.

    2 weeks without? Blimey hun.. Hope that the delivery turns up super fast and you get to get back on the meds asap.... Hopefully that should help the stiffness and the fatigue.
    Most of next week sounds fun - Are you going to be in charge of the homeschooling whilst J sleeps if he's on nights?
