This week has been a tough one. I have had my medication for depression changed yet again. Thankfully the new one seems, so far, better than the last.
This week has seen a lazy weekend, a tea party, cake, flowers and walks through puddles. This is my week in pictures...
Saturday 27th February 2016
On Saturday I managed to have some crochet time which was lovely. I got behind a few days with my sky blanket but now I am almost caught up.
Sunday 28th February 2016
Sunday was another relaxing day. In the afternoon Joseph decided he wanted to bake so together we managed to make a chocolate and vanilla Battenburg style cake.
Monday 29th February 2016
On Monday I saw a friend on the school run and she noticed that I looked flustered and down. I managed a quick chat before dashing the children into school. On Monday I got some new tablets to try which should improve how I am feeling. Later in the afternoon my friend popped these beautiful flowers off to make me smile. They certainly did!
Tuesday 1st March 2016
On Tuesday the twins made me promise that if it wasn't raining when it was pick up time that I would walk to collect them. As it was not raining I could not let them down so made myself get outside! I did feel better for doing it and seeing their happy faces made it worth it!
Wednesday 2nd March 2016
Wednesday was all about tea and cake for the Co-Operative Food's Twitter Tea Party. Yes, that cake was as delicious as it looks!
Thursday 3rd March 2016
Thursday was, mentally, a hard day. Taylor was off school sick and the hubby got called out on his way home. As the hubby did not get home until late Joseph asked if he could help me put the twins to bed. He sat and read them two stories while I did a couple of jobs upstairs. He really stood up to help me without being asked and was so grown up. He really was a God send and made me incredibly proud.
Friday 4th March 2016
Thanks to the 48 hour rule at school I had another morning with just Taylor at home. It was lovely. I have loved having some time with him on his own as we do not get much time alone. As you can see he was a lot better! It is times when I have just one of the children with me I remember how easy it is with just one! But times like these I really do treasure!
Hope you have a great weekend and week!
As always I am sharing with...
Thursday sounds like a tough day! But bonus day with your little one on Friday made up for that I'm sure! The two very tempting cakes in this week's post are making me crave sponge. Thank you so much for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment xx

ReplyDeleteI have never yet got one on one time with either of the twins, I could not take one without the other as they would just cry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely friend to bring you some flowers.
Nice that the twins are asking you to walk and it is getting you out.
Our older two are amazing with the wee ones and love to read them stories and do bed time.
What a lovely friend, that was so thoughtful. Love the look of that battenburg :) And the Co-Op cake is so pretty!
