Grrr!!! Nothing a bit of 'venting' or even crying won't fix!!!<br /><br />cheers,<br />Night OwlNight Owl 67https://www.blogger.com/profile/16764068619182331781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-80601977797896145212012-08-03T18:36:47.631+10:002012-08-03T18:36:47.631+10:00Ha - naughty Blogger!

Anyway, I retrieved you from the garbage bin and put you right back in the comments!<br /><br />Indeed, a couple of nice quiet days at home, hanging with the kids, doing a bit of science and craft, and the world looks like a different place! <br /><br />I will have tea regardless though - it makes EVERYTHING look better!Ingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396226904711922049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-86398783979329707062012-08-03T15:41:09.653+10:002012-08-03T15:41:09.653+10:00Oh Ingi - I am so with you!

Is it Winter? Is it motherhood? Is it the late Olympic nights? <br />Is it the unrelenting question of "What are we eating for breakfast???" These are obviously universal questions LOL<br /><br />Aaaargh. Just had a cuppa and a biscuit - hope your days since you've posted this have improved! If not, try tea!<br />Hugs to you,<br />TraceyHungryHeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792332833531881544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-85579379630254804062012-08-03T09:20:13.426+10:002012-08-03T09:20:13.426+10:00Yep - I don't think I'm alone here.

I know I'm in trouble when I find myself wandering around the house, full of anxiety, torn between five projects, knowing I need to load kids in the car for some activity they are attending- RIGHT NOW! Yesterday I hit rock bottom and decided to drop one of the classes I'm taking online. Then I went outside and cleaned out the van. The monotonous work of cleaning brought about a feeling of order that I needed.<br />--AND why do they always ask what we're having for tea, supper, lunch, etc? I hate that question! :-)Cyber Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13617795256170148473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-27795388631222679902012-08-01T12:19:06.595+10:002012-08-01T12:19:06.595+10:00Awww, thanks Helena - those words and thoughts mea...Awww, thanks Helena - those words and thoughts mean a lot to me. I'm loving hermit-ing away with the kids - snuggling up against the cold wind outside. Just spending time. And maybe having a cup of tea and a panadol!Ingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396226904711922049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-43843455913209684192012-08-01T12:17:51.064+10:002012-08-01T12:17:51.064+10:00My son was logged into Khan academy...so I replied...My son was logged into Khan academy...so I replied as him! Anyway my comment was:<br /><br />It's so hard to just "stop", isn't it? And yet, this morning when I was stressed about running late to a piano lesson and the dude pulling out in front of me made me cry, I thought to myself, would the world end if I just spent the day in bed?Ingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396226904711922049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-87752935235510236092012-08-01T12:13:33.106+10:002012-08-01T12:13:33.106+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maxrewind99https://www.blogger.com/profile/16843418956618139461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-20975083366476516442012-08-01T10:42:35.012+10:002012-08-01T10:42:35.012+10:00I'm sending you a huge hug right now, Ingi.

Really. <br /><br />Posts like this bring so much clarity—yes, sometimes days are messy and chaotic and sometimes you can't carry it all. And yes, yes, yes: sometimes the scales DO have to lean towards you and your own well being. You write about it so clearly, so honestly, Ingi and you're even funny about it. I loved the Bex reference :) <br /><br />It's so important to take care of yourself. I'm not far away, remember; know that I am here if you need! And if you want to be a hermit one day, while I whisk your kids off for an adventure with my kids, you know we would love that too :)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560926974431305982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-59640489308425986742012-08-01T10:06:20.050+10:002012-08-01T10:06:20.050+10:00I hear you!

I was sick but I never normally would go to bed sick or not. I found it all rather frustrating actually. I feel like I lost a day!karismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.com
