Evening @Faith-and-Hope I hope you and D2 had a good afternoon and are settled in for a quiet night soon,
It is really warm here tonight so Cat is still outside. I am going to leave her out there until I go to bed myself. Have a few more things I want to get done before I do that so I don't have as much to do tomorrow night.
I cleaned out the outdoor cupboards this afternoon and stacked all the timber so tomorrow when my sister comes we can move the cupboards onto the trailer then I can stack all the rubbish on afterwards. There are a lot of timber pieces that have been out in the weather for too long and need to be thrown out - mostly offcuts and some that have split so no longer any good. Once I have done that I can pile on the branches and vines I trimmed and off to the tip Toby and I will go. Will try to get there early Friday morning so I can go into work early too before the heat hits - supposed to be around 38 so would rather be home with air conditioning than at school where there is none.
I'll be up for a while yet so hope to catch you before I head to bed. Hugs Hon

Hi @Zoe7 .....
Woo-hoo @Zoe7 ..... pacing yourself but still chipping away at everything 😊
Give Cat a tummy tickle for me please .....
It has been a difficult afternoon with WH stuff here .... to do with the kids and some other :pile_of_poo: that shouldn’t be happening ..... but we are moving past it, and I have had a baby dragon feedback saying they are very proud about how I am not reacting, just probkem solving around abusive carry-on and moving forward with as much dignity as I can.

I will give her a tummy tickle and a big squishy hug for you Hon
So sorry it has been another one of those afternoons for you - it is never ending but we know this is just the beginning hey - so proud of you also for keeping your dignity, problem solving and not reacting ...I can only imagine how hard that all is for you but for one of your baby dragons to see it and let you know how proud they also are of you is pure gold under these circumstances.
You are amazing @Faith-and-Hope - do not forget that

If the baby dragons are seeing it and appreciating it @Zoe7 , then they are seeing a glipse of a way forward, which helps me no-end ..... it’s a little spark in the dark.

It certainly is @Faith-and-Hope It will also mean they have some say in that way forward as not only are they seeing your resilience but hopefully finding the confidence through your example to have their own voice. You have raised some super fine baby dragons Hon
I have to let you know - I cleaned and sorted one area of the classroom today and no surprise it was the art area ...made me think of you of course I have also printed out smaller versions of your two paintings to put up in the office area ...so surrounding myself already with things that mean something to me 👍💕
