Day 36: Monday 15th April

Madness.........

I went driving in my car.......

Prescription collected. Acid held in abeyance for another 28 days. Tummy pulled quite a lot during manoeuvres in the carpark, but I toughed it out, drove home, and had a nice lie down. Still a bit sore, but felt great to get out under my own steam.

Liked this - nothing to do with my own steam though!

School form is completed, and due to see Mr Headmaster at C2's school tomorrow to get it signed. Looks like it will be a very very lucky shot if there is a place for him, but I have to know that I tried. 

Failing everything else, I will need to grit my teeth and do 16 miles+ a day to get him to school and back. Moving him makes so much sense. We can walk to school together (obviously 6 paces behind C1) - joyous prospect.

Trouble brewed and faded away today as BabyDaddy received notice about our court non-appearance this Thursday. It is tough. Feels sad. But it is necessary.

Had several telephone conversations with him today, the first of which confirmed my convictions, the 2nd didn't help much either, but by the 3rd he had calmed down enough for me to listen properly.

Spoke to Bariatric K this afternoon - reminding me to keep a food diary in preparation for the consultation on Thursday afternoon - this week I will be mostly eating mashed bananas, a little mashed potato, mashed other stuff, and some soup. No milk. No yogurt. No cheese. No cereal. No bread. It will be a short list!

Have done well today. 

Forms completed. Awaiting signatures but completed. 

Bins emptied. 

Car driven a bit. 

Dealt with a couple of shouty phone calls without shouting back. 

Completed the Big Mimsy (to go with my First Mimsy). 

Made resolutions with myself this afternoon to carry on with all the stuff I'm doing, to continue to offer unconditional love, hugs and a listening ear to my babies, get rid of all my 'big clothes' and hone down the contents of my wardrobe to the things I really like!
