Hi @BlueBay, glad you went and did something relaxing like head to the beach with hubby. Great place to calm down some. Great to hear you're going to use tomorrow for some 'me time'. It will recharge you more than just simply hiding at home alone. I think I need some time at the beach too, might lift my spirits a bit as well.

A lot of changes going on for you lately. With the MiL, her problems and her care no longer a full time issue, it's good to see you thinking of what you can do for yourself & those closest too you. Maybe the next few years will bring back the good memories of your first 10 years together.

I'm sure you will make a great granny when the time comes. Despite everything that has gone on you love your kids & I'm sure that will flow easily to their children.

But for now concentrate on the me & us with the hubby and kids. It is going to seem strange for a while I guess. It will take time to get used having more time to think and do things for yourself & family. I hope you can make the most of it.

Take care.
