 Good Morning Girls
Its a cold,misty, morning here today but meant to warm up and be sunny. We had a pretty quiet weekend. DH worked Saturday and I potted around at home- even washed windows!!
Yesterday we had the kids over (minus one DD in Japan and one DDiL who had to work despite me giving her 2 months warning  ) My DB and DSiL came too but my DM and DS and DBiL are in Bali. So only 8 of us. DH cooked a delicious roast, DD30 made an amazing hummingbird cake and I made a fruit salad and bought the ice-cream  It was a lovely, relaxed day
Today is my boring work day with no surgery and usually on 2 others at work. On the way home i have to get petrol and once home, water all hanging and pot plants and de-cobweb walls and corners and ceilings in ZONE- I did see a fairly big one there  DH has an appointment with our Accountant at 2.30 today and Im very relieved he has done his last THREE years tax 
Tonight we are having Fish and stir-fried veggies for dinner.
Hope you all had a great weekend and Have a Marvelous Monday!! x x

Hi Judy and those to come, Today I am working from home taking back some of the overtime I did last week to meet that project deadline. I will catch up on some casual work and just keep the other job humming along. I haven't been sleeping at all well and last night was a doozy. DS5 came in about 2am, woke me, I put him back to bed, he cried, I comforted - all normal really. But then I couldn't get back to sleep worrying about all sorts of odd things that I know full well aren't real worries. As soon as it's daylight and I'm chatting with DH and the kids, it's all back in perspective. But I need more sleep! So another tired day today, but am determined to keep things in perspective and get on with doing what needs to be done. Does anyone else have their brain go into hyperdrive if woken at night? Any suggestions gratefully received. Home jobs are: * dry washing - dryer and airer - wet here today * dinner - steak and veg - peel veg early to make it easy * phone to change pest treatment - realised Wednesday is just too busy and too tight a timeline Errands and appointments are: * boys to school (DD left early with DH) * printer to repair shop if I have time * health appt for me at 2pm * 3pm pick up boys * pick up DD if it's still wet * 7pm DD's music lesson Work: * email RA re time sheets * email supervisor re prep for meetings tomorrow * email DH re schedule this week to see whether he can pick up boys Tuesday and Wednesday * update my master timesheet * work for J - progress writing * admin for J - sort time sheets * if time, touch base with work for A Wishing you all a great day!

Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Judy, sounds like a lovely weekend. I hope your work day goes quickly, but those quieter ones often don't.
Elizabeth, you are preaching the the choir about sleep issues. I have 'invested' in some 'Sleepy Time Tea' (or as DH called it once Sleepy LaLa Tea), I don't know if it actually makes me sleepy or if it's the idea of it that makes me sleepy but it seems to be helping (I still have a DeCafe Coffee after sundown). Have you tried keeping a notebook next to the bed, jot down the things swirling through your brain and say to yourself, I will deal with them tomorrow. As you say, in the light of day they seem to be less daunting, so this may help get them out of your brain at 3am. Sleep is hard, well not getting enough is hard.
WARNING: Whining Ahead
I have been 'here' but not really here for the last few day. House is ok, holding up well, washing is getting done 1 load at a time, dinner is getting done and sink shined most day, but I've been in a little funk. Very emotional Friday and Saturday. Not sure what my problem was Friday but Saturday there was an annual Winery Tour on, big event, fundraiser. Lots of Facebook posts scrolling past with this group and that group going. Now most people I was like fine, have fun, not really my social circle just acquaintances, but one particular group really got to me.
In this group I have always been the 'young one',
the one with the 'little kids' so I don't get invited,
the one who's hubby has to get up early on weekends so doesn't get invited and it's a 'couples' event,
the one who can't come cause Hubby's at work and the kids need me,
it's a weekend away so we know Hubby works, these are all things I've been told.
But on this occasion I could have gone, IF I was invited. They know my Hubby works EVERY Saturday, so I'm basically free and alone, kids are not little (in fact DD21 was actually on a bus trip to the same places with friends her age), I had no ties, but just wasn't considered or wanted. DD21 ran into these ladies and their 1st question, 'are you here with Mum?', umm no Mum doesn't want to be on a trip with a bunch of 20somethings. So apparently they thought it might be something I'd do, just they didn't want me to do with them. So I realized on Saturday that apparently all the reasons I had thought had prevented me just are the reason, I am just considered and just don't get invited. It really really $!$$$#% me off. Hurt my feelings alot. I don't even know what to say to them (if I ever talk to them again), quite obviously they don't consider me a friend they want to hang out with and I certainly won't make a fuss only to be invited begrudgingly, so I'm stuck. Anyway whining over.
Today is DH day off, we are going mattress shopping (Anniversary gift to each other), DH believes that our mattress is the root of all our aches and pains, I believe it's age. We will see, lol.
Ok, time to get DD17 to school so DH and I can get on with our Date Day. Wishing you all a Marvelous Monday.

Good Morning Everyone
Hope work goes well Judy
Hope you get more sleep Elizabeth. I find writing down the problems, or getting up for 15ish minutes then back to bed helps me (but less appealing with colder nights)
*hugs* Shellie
Today DD was up at night coughing, and she is teary and not well, so I will keep her home today, so called school & told them I wont be able to come to literacy groups.
I need to do groceries and stuff still so wish me luck
Have a great day
