Joys and Concerns

Wow, what an exciting few days! I don't even dare to write too much about our current conversations in case we realise we've gone crazy and crash back to reality, but I can't not mention it, so here goes:

Joys:

We saw the most amazing mill/barn/plot yesterday and there might possibly be a chance of working out a way to buy it

Chloe went back to school on thursday fully prepared to hate it and start homeschooling, but she loved it and can't stop talking about how much fun she's having

Our families have all been just lovely this week

I'm meeting up with some lovely friends tomorrow :)

I've been strictly dairy-free again for a few days and I feel loads better already!

Concerns:

My sister and her partner are still very shaken and I still can't quite believe it :(

Chloe is still having meltdowns - although much less aggressive in the last couple of days

Finn's sleep is very disturbed at the moment, although the no-cry sleep solution seems to be helping a little

We may have gone crazy even considering taking a second look at the mill

My friend is really struggling with her depression atm and her crazy dog is complicating things

So today it's all about trusting the universe, for me. I feel a little removed from reality, which might be a reaction to severe sleep deprivation - I'd hate to make an irreversable decision and then realise I'd only agreed because my proper brain function had been suspended due to having no sleep for eight years, lol!

I'm going to do a proper post soon, I have lots I'm really keen to write about but just trying to juggle a lot at the moment so these quick posts just feel like touching base. I feel like we got a lot done this weekend though, including a beautiful collage of our gorgeous children! I hadn't done a photo collage since Finn was born but we love having photos up and apparently it improves a child's confidence if there are photos of them on the walls of their home - which makes sense, and is good news for me because I love photos!! This picture is at the centre of the one I finished today:

And our camera is being repaired, so I can't add any more relevant ones! Proper post coming up soon...
