Hey @Bow ,

How are you?

[Bow]

Hey 👋 @tyme 

everything’s an effort today. Tired. Feeling overwhelmed with everything. Curled up on the couch watching some tv. 

how about you?

[tyme]

Hugs @Bow .

What does D get up to when at home? I hope she's okay after missing those kittens. I'm thinking of you both.

I was listening on the radio to a talk about iron deficiency in the body this morning. It was really interesting. I didn't realise an iron infusion lasts 6months-2 years! Seems like an easier option then me taking meds beacuse I always forget.

Anyway, this morning, the kids have made these lego figurines to play with. The eldest is on the piano, the middle one is washing a nutella container..

Lately, I've been thinking of turtle chips a lot. I still haven't got around to getting any yet.

How's house hunting?

I’ll claim that hug for sure @tyme 

D spends way too much time on iPads when at home. We had a few melt downs this week cause i said enough is enough. ‘I’m bored…. I don’t know what to do…. Give me something to do… that’s boring… give me something fun to do.’ SIGH. 
She does draw a lot though. And she makes dragon puppets and masks. She’s very into dragons. Bought her a new sketch book today and some pencils. But have already told her she has to clean her room before she can have them. She’s at her father’s today. Back about 7pm. I have a real battle with her and her keeping her room clean. Argh. I don’t know where I went to wrong??? When we move there are going to be new rules. 

My mum has issues with her iron. I wonder what my iron levels are like, not sure if my gp checks it. Is it an ongoing issues for you? My vitamin D level is heaps low at the moment. Suppose to be like above 75, mine is 35. I take potassium supplements too. 

The kids play with Lego much? I’ve had to pack most of my Lego away. Just my big Disney castles which I can’t pack, will just have to carefully move. 

Oh I popped to the shops early this morning and I went looking for turtle chips. Walked up and down the isles for ages and couldn’t find any. 

nothing new so far today. We look a couple of times a day

I think i've mentioned that all the kids' ipads here are all locked. They cannot access anything without permission. So every time they turn on their ipads, it says all the apps are blocked. We have to open them up from our phones. But the best thing is we just hide the ipads - outta sight, outta mind. 

The kids here also say they are bored all the time. I tell them they are not to tell me they are bored or they can clean the house because there's always work to do. 

I'm fearful how far tech is taking these young minds. I guess with these kids, there are three of them and they play with each other, whereas for D, you'll have to play with her lol. I'm glad she likes drawing.

As for turtle chips, I don't know why I keep thinking and dreaming them even thought I don't know what they taste like. I think I'm ust imagining them from your description about layers of chips, and choc flavoured? It's bamboozling!

And with my iron, yes, it seems to be ongoing. I have to be so careful. I think it's causing me fainting spells.

Oh! And I've been using my cricut. It's driving me bonkers, so my house is a mess! I'm doing all these texts for my sister's house and putting bible verses on them or making the kids' names on notebooks and drinkbottles. I'll see if I can get photos of the texts I've made. @Bow

I’m just so tired

so exhausted 

so fed up

its not your normal tired and exhaust

it’s deep in your bones

deep within your being

in the depths of your soul

Nothing seems to change

nothing gets any easier

its the same shit every day

and I’ve had enough

my soul aches for peace

for nothingness 

to not have to exist
