Well I am pleased to say that I am having a better day today. I didn't feel too great this morning and I didn't sleep well again, but I busied myself with catching up on jobs and even got involved in cleaning and de-junking the kitchen cupboards.
Thank you to everyone who offered advice and kind words. When I stop and actually think, I know my problems are not really bad ones. I think because of the strain of my parents situation with my mums illness, things just get on top of me.
If I stop and think about all the bad stuff that some people have in their lives, then I know that I am lucky. My children have all turned out well, so far. I think Saskia was having a temporary "blip", she has always been good up until now. It probably doesn't help because she lived independently abroad for 3 years and she was only young. I think she is used to living her own life. Mind you, when she lived abroad she paid her own way!!
As for Simon, well he has been the best husband for nearly 28 years and I don't think I will be trading him in any time soon! He gets on my nerves sometimes, as I know I do his, but then I suppose that is only natural. He also suffers what you have all been telling me is "Man memory"! It would seem nearly everyones husband has this, so I am not alone!
I suppose I should be careful about moaning too much, but then, my blog is my way of getting stuff off my chest and hopefully out of my brain. It is for me after all, and any readers could always skip the moans! Hopefully, soon things will be a bit easier around here. Only 2 weeks until we go on holiday to Madeira, which will hopefully be more relaxing than our Dublin break!!
Off to have dinner now. I peeled all the vegetables, but Simon made the shepherds pie and has over seen the cooking. One or two of you pointed out that I am lucky to have a husband that cooks. He doesn't do it very often, but at weekends and in the holidays he definitely takes his turn; so I suppose that makes me lucky. He is a good cook too!
