My special place

@Snowie i hear that, glad you're working on not taking it personally. 

haha is H not a coffee person? i reckon 3 cups a day isn't too bad. when i used to work at a servo, there used to be customers that came in 5-6 times a day for their coffees! 

that sounds tough, and it's really nice of him to mend that relationship for your kids. oh woah 1 of 11 kids!? that's a BIG family! i feel the same with mine, my mum's 1 of 6, and my dad's 1 of 8 - every time there's a big wedding, i meet some new cousins for the first time! also 31 years of knowing H, how'd you both meet? i love hearing the 'how we met' stories but no pressure if you don't want to share!

Groot has his nose out of joint with the kittens here @rav3n  but his a very timid cat and tends to keep to himself.. he will come for snuggles and all but very much on his terms. 

I fostered Groot 2 years ago. Think I fostered him for like 6mths before I adopted him and didn’t do any other foster until these kittens. Although I kinda started fostering to help my mental health, my mh was too unstable to make any commitments and just lots of other things going on. I wanted to foster again but need to not fall in love and adopt. 1 cat at home is enough. And I was super keen to give baby kittens a go… and they usually have kitten seasons.

Hubby will have a coffee @rav3n but not as many as me. Three a day is a good day!!

That would add up, buying 5-6 coffees a day. Don't know how they can afford it!

His mum is one of 10 too, so lots of family on both sides. Both my mum and dad are 1 of 2, so a tiny family my side!

I met hubby when I was 16 years old. Got a part time job at McDonalds and he was working there part time too. We were on shift one night together and another worker set us up on a date. Didn't know him until that night. Went to the movies for our first date and the rest is history. We actually still keep in contact with the guy who set us up on our first date!!

[rav3n]

gosh lost track of time, i'll respond to both of you on Tuesday!! hope both of you have a lovely weekend, night lovelies!! @Snowie @Bow

Finally home after a big day.

Went to a family get together for hubby's dad side of the family. Saw his grandma who is still so switched on. Does need assistance walking but will be 100 this June!!

Were about 80-90 people there and not everyone turned up! Such a big family. 

Small talk urgh, but got through it. 

Home, pj's, coffee and couch. So much better.

[Bow]

Wow that’s amazing @Snowie so lovely to be part of a big family. How many generations? 

I bet it feels good to be in your pjs and on the couch!

[Snowie]

@Bow it is a big family. Totally opposite to my side.

There were 5 generations there today. Ranging from his Nan who is 99 down to the youngest who was 4 weeks old. So hard to remember all the names!

Pj's and couch is so nice. Think it will be an early night.

How was your day?

[Bow]

That’s so nice @Snowie so many generations all together. 

i remember gathering for my pops 90th birthday many years ago and there was 4 generations I think. Sad that as people have passed those gatherings decrease and no longer occur. 

I haven’t had to best day. Popped to the shops briefly and then just been at home. I was expecting a visit from comm mh at some point over the weekend. They came today. 2 giant hmm men of colour whom I do not know. They didn’t come in. Just asked if I was ok. If I was safe 😩 think if the right people came I may of talked. But no. So have felt defeated and rather low all afternoon. My thoughts have not been ok

[Snowie]

They do a family gathering every year @Bow and try and get as many people there as possible. Its been going for about the last 10 years now. We try and make it to them. They are organising a big family get together in June for her 100th birthday.

Thats hard if you didn't know the people from comm mh. How are you possibly meant to open up to people you don't know. I know I wouldn't. Its hard enough opening up to people you do know!

I'm sorry about your thoughts hon. That is hard to keep to ourselves at times.

I did see your post of the kittens. So cute!

[Bow]

Sorry @Snowie  was just letting the kittens out to have a run before their supper and going to bed. It wears them out! They are so cute when they run around. 

oh the 100th birthday gathering would be amazing. Hopefully everyone can make it. 

yeah…. Hard to talk when I don’t know them. Oh well, my own fault I’ve got all this pent up stuff inside. I didn’t see my psych so can only blame myself 

plans for tomorrow?
