We had a baking day last week.
Each of the girls picked something to bake
No 2 chose cookies
She made 3 different kinds
Choc with choc chips
Vanilla with nuts
Vanilla with white choc chips
I think she liked them!
No 1 chose marshmallow muffins
They looked a little odd
But the girls assured me they tasted great.
A bit sticky but great.
N 2 chose chocolate cake
of course
This was great too!
Miss Callie getting a drink…………..
the hard way…………Lol
The holidays are almost at an end
I am feeling sad
I will miss the girls when they go back to school
Shoes and bags have been bought
Uniforms washed and ironed.
I feel flat and adrift
My pain levels have been bad again
Stopped me from doing a few things
I feel like I have let the girls down.
But I’m trying……
really I am.
I am worried about getting the girls to the train station each day
What if my back is bad?
What if I wake up with a migraine?
I don’t have anyone I can call on for help.
Taxis maybe???
It’s 2.6 kms to the station so walking isn’t an option.
How will all the girls cope with a new school?
How will they cope with the travel?
how.how,how????
what,what,what???
My mind is running at a rate of knots
sleep is becoming elusive again……….
sigh…………

Busy, busy girls
As for the school return – stop trying to cross bridges before you get to them. Assume everything will be fine and it probably will be. Honest!
Anyway, I’m sure that if there isn’t a bus then the odd route march to the station won’t kill them if you have a day where driving is not a viable option. From the age of 5 I used to walk close to 2 miles each way every day to get to my Primary School and I’m sure many others did the same. The more you fret, the worse you feel, then the sleep patterns implode, the whole sad and sorry cycle repeats ad nauseam and you know what comes next. Go easy on yourself – please.
xox
You are lucky to have such good cooks at your beck and call!!
You do realise now that the girls are capable of baking and freezing their own recess and after school snacks……yay!! No more baking for you Pixie.
I’d suggest getting to know a few of the mums at the school and finding out if any of them live near enough to be emergency pick up and deliver rides for your girls when things get so bad that you can’t drive. You could work out with them some method of repaying the favour. Perhaps in baked goods or a few dollars toward their petrol costs?
Miss Callie looks to be quite the gymnast.
