Good Morning Overs
I’m in a real happy mood today. It’s a day off from mum-in-law’s (feel guilty for saying that, but I need my ‘me’ time),
I’m going to the local market when they open for bird food, fruit and a lazy dinner for tomorrow, shepherds pie. A stall does beautiful cooked pies, savoury and sweet and I always want to buy everything!
Then I’m going to pack all my bedding now I’ve got the winter duvet on.Mind you I was hot in the night, maybe a bit presumptuous but it’s done now..
I’ve got some of those space saver bags that you take the air out of. The bedding packs down much smaller. It’s still heavy though so the ads on tv say “great for taking in your suitcase on holiday”
be too much weight surely.
I think also I’m pleased it’s my last day on steroids and antibiotics. So hopefully my weird wired brain will settle down. I’ve bit my tongue a lot this week.
Bekind we were talking on Whinys thread about some books/podcasts being heavy going. Can change our moods.
Well nowadays I don’t laugh much. I mean really laugh until I cry. I happened to be looking at a video my sis had put on Fbook and then it scrolled to the next video which was Peter Kay. For non UK’ers Overs, he’s a comedian who talks about every day things, often around his mum and Nan. Very funny in an English sort of way and a well loved person.
Well I howled and howled with laughing, croaking like an old goat, tears pouring down my face. I was a blubbering mess of joy! It’s good to laugh!
Have a good day my friends xxxx

Me 3 on photos Free!
I travelled around for 2/3 years before I had kids. I’m glad that I did it and I’m happy where I’m at now. Definitely didn’t stay any place with a view - I was on a shoestring budget. But I walked a good 10 miles most days with my camera.
and that’s all the time I get to say hello as my youngest is sick and apparently can’t sleep unless I hold him (night 3 of this - but I can tell he is legit feeling miserable).
Happy week to all the Overs!

Laughter is soo good for the soul! My mum used to laugh o had she couldn’t talk, and I do that too, tears streaming down my cheeks. There is a boozy couple on the plane I have t been too keen with, but he mans laughter is SO contagious, he got me laughing in Australia. I not only felt good inside, but more accepting of him and them as a couple.

SE, it’s hard when we are sleep deprived, but I’d give ANYTHING to have my babies to hold again. It’s such a gift. We are not of our parents loo, but our children are made with ours, and so the deep deep connection I believe.
I have been ignored by my son, and it hurts so badly. Take the gifts as they present to you, in the moment 🤓❤️

SE, hope BB is soon better, bless his heart. 
Free2bme I worked with a man who had an infectious laugh. If he started we all did. Brilliant. Glad you had some quality laughter.
Sorry you’ve been hurt by your son. When I read this and others saying same I wonder if I made my parents unhappy. I’m sure there’d were times I did. We muddle along in life and I guess parents (I’m not a mum) want to get it right for their wee bairns. It can’t be easy being a parent.
Free2bme have you left India yet?

But I kept sneaking in telling them how long it would be before I could join.

Good morning, all!
Mags, I sometimes forget how hard it can be to spend a lot of time with an aging person with significant cognitive issues (let alone Alzheimer’s). I don’t know how you do it every day. Happy to hear you are almost off the steroids! 24 years later I still clearly remember how awful they were. Enjoy your day
SE, your children are so fortunate to have you as their mom!
Free, so sorry to hear your son ignores you. How incredibly painful that is
Have a tooting Tuesday

Yeehaw Koala. Good to have you join us.
Mags, I'm going to look up that comedian. Free, I hope you have a safe trip home.
Little kids are so damn hard and it is so amazing and rewarding. My nephews when they were little would sleep on my bedroom floor when the visited. Once the in the middle of the night I felt the covers lift and the 9 year old slid into bed with me. It was a lovely moment. Still make me smile. That kid is 16 now and over 6' tall and probably 200 lbs.
Well I have indoor adulting tasks that I have kept putting off. I'm going to go for a solid hour of indoor adulting. Wish me luck.
