Single life

Feeling much better now, I went to work yesterday with an annoying cough, but able to function at least. Finished one and a half quilts, and more to do tonight. Having a general tidy up today, and little miss wet the bed last night lots of washing and new sheets to put on. Poor little tacker only does it once in a blue moon when she is exhausted. She had a sleepover at her cousins Friday and night, and has a ball, comes home exhausted though!

Sunday blues have hit me, I find the weekends so hard to do stuff. Working, running the house, all these things I do on my own, and I get a bit tired. During the week I have friends to talk to, can ring up or pop in for a coffee, weekends are very much family time, I find. Dad's home from work, wants top hang out with mum and kids, go visiting or do zoo's, museums etc. I find going to those places hard, my daughter runs around and has the time of her life, and I have no one to talk to or say "hey check that out". Hope I don't sound too whingy. I didn't plan to be on my own at this point, I expected a few more little tackers around too, so I often get a bit frustrated. Does anyone have ideas for me? Something not involving too much money is also handy. If I had unlimited cash flow, I could definately find more entertainment. Luckiliy little miss is happy with Ariel the Mermaid whilst I finish up the chores, then maybe in the car for a drive to somewhere. I'll keep you posted.....

I have a partner & I'm still exhausted most of the time (& the house is always in a state of chaos) so I really don't know how single parents do it. That said, my sister was a s.mum for 7 years & she found hooking up with other s.mums for outings was helpful....not quite the same thing though.

I'll post later this week how I did the reverse applique, hope you took some photos of your quilts, would love to see.

i get the sunday blues too (had the sunday night dreads this week, ie monday coming oh no) and my husband is an excellent partner and parent. i agree that the world sometimes seems to go quiet on a sunday afternoon. but really we're all at home thinking "i can't ring anyone because they're with their families" and we should just pick up the phone and RING !!!!!
love the quilting, i wish i had the knack. i'm sewing bits and pieces, knitting bits and pieces, you get the picture..........
