Hi nonna @BlueBay ,
I’ve missed you. How are you today? I also had a terrible night last night. I’ve cancelled all my appointments for today so I can let my body rest.
Thinking of you and I’ll wait to hear how you are.

hi @BPDSurvivor @tyme @creative_writer @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Snowie @hanami @FloatingFeather @Eve7
last night hubby went to the city with son and daughter and son-in-law to a concert
little A stayed with me and she was sooooo tired from a birthday party and not spending much time with her mum. she was so grumpy, wanted her mum and would not come to me. finally after a long time she settled and i took her to mcdonalds for dinner. she was very excited because she got a book in her happy meal pack. came home bathed her and i read a book in her bed and she fell asleep. i went to bed at 9.30 and couldn't sleep as i was getting scared that someone would come in and attack us.
terrible dreams about my mum, me screaming at her and her again.
taking A to the park and a baby chino later on. then a quiet afternoon.

Awwww, that sounds like such beautiful Nonna, Little A time @BlueBay . I wish I was a fly on the wall.
Kids bring so much joy. Did you end up reading the Happy Meal book to her? I definitely like the idea of books rather than toys as a choice in Happy Meals.
I hope you have a great time at the park, and enjoy your ccinnos!!!

Oh yeah @tyme little A loves to help all the time.
do you know she even helped me serve the dessert to everyone. She’s only 4 but such a good girl.
abd then out of the blue she’ll say “nonna I love you”
And the weird thing is by tomorrow I’ll be back to sad depressed and so down again.

Hey @BlueBay , quoting above, do you think it is a self-fulfilling prophecy? It doesn't have to be that way. I've been there. It's not pleasant. What is something you can do so it doesn't become the norm?
You can do it 🙂

The thing is @tyme is that because I had little A today I had so much love. So much delight when she’s around.
niwa she’s not with me - it’s a big drop if happiness.
does this make sense??
i am home alone during the week. I will start packing things in boxes.
