Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Day 2 of adding structure and it's all gone a bit awry!!
My aim was not to be going back to bed after taking Io to work but I didnt sleep very well last night so I went back to bed.
Ah well, it's good to be flexible. I've had brekkie and sorted some laundry, emptied the dishwasher etc. I have to take C to work and grab a couple of things in Asda while I'm up in the town.
My plan is to do my walk while I'm up there. Its bucketing, our roads are flooded, no footpaths etc so I'm going to walk in the town. It also means I dont need to coax myself out the door again later.
I have found a slight change in the wording of a sentence has helped me take some pressure off myself and eased some of the panic and despair of succeeding.
Instead of saying, "I'm going to get my life back" ...... especially when there are huge things I cant get back....
I've started to tell myself, " I'm going to get a life back that includes lots that I enjoy"
It may not be for everyone but I have found it really helpful to me to acknowledge things will never be as they were, but they can still be ok.

That's a brilliant change in wording. Much more positive, but also accepting of when things aren't so straight forward. You should be proud of yourself for making this change.

Completely agree with Suzi!

Absolutely! It’s definitely an adjustment to make but makes such a difference
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.
Urrgh.... so after an accident' at home last night I have a swollen bruised knee. Last night it looked like a tennis ball on the side of my knee so I'm glad that has reduced to a more generalised swelling and a huge bruise. Getting ice on it straight away definitely helped. It will be a short walk today.
At least the sun is out today although its bitter cold!!

OMG What did you do? Should you get it looked at?

No it's fine, just sore but I can walk on it. Just did 3 miles so it's ok no real damage.
My son C has this thing where if I'm getting worked up over something stupid he throws me across his shoulders and squats me till I laugh.
Last night C, Io and I all came out of our bedrooms at the same time onto the landing. He jumped on my back carrying on and Io was saying to throw him over my shoulder...which there was no hope of me doing. We were messing around and then he throws me across his shoulders and runs into my bedroom with me to flip me on the bed. My knee connected with the bedend which is solid mahogany but also as he flipped me I landed on my neck. It could have been a lot worse than a swollen knee and a stiff neck.
Anyway, lesson learnt....mummy is near 50 and not a ragdoll and doesn't bounce the same as she used to. Bless him he felt so bad, I may get a break from being squatted for a while.

Ouch! But at the same time, that's quite funny! Your relationship with your kids sounds awesome!
