Grlonfr, do you volunteer at a school? I'm a school teacher. Those are moments to cherish. It keeps our problems in perspective. Be well

I had a hard time with him when I first started but gradually won his trust. When he saw me yesterday, he was so happy that he started laughing and singing. And he was so quiet and attentive when I was telling the children stories. Bless this little boy for touching my heart.

That is amazing, Grl. True testament to what patience and perseverance can achieve.

Mutatio, I volunteer with underprivileged kids.

I read in your threads that you're a HS teacher. So we have something in common, though I usually work with younger kids.

I lurve kids. One of the biggest regrets of my life is not having the 3 or 4 kids that I thought I would have. At one point, I even wanted 6!


You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.

Gmum, I realise that I am more forgiving and patient when it comes to kids and even friends, than when it comes to family.

Somehow, I l unfairly hold my family and myself to much higher standards. A takeaway for my next relationship.

I am feeling optimistic that I will soon emerge victorious from my war with the lice. My takeaway from this? Better laundry skills and the knowledge that there must always be a light at the end of every (cr@ppy and licey) tunnel.

Treated myself to my favourite paella and ice lemon tea. Hmmm.

A short break before I start ironing the lice out of the bedsheets.

A nice bottle of muscato, here I come!
