Pretty roses.....

I spoke to soon! After posting yesterday the temperature dropped dramatically over night and just after dark it started blowing a gale. This mornings trip to school was met with more fallen trees. I think the excessive wet ground and previous storms have left a lot of trees weakened and even a mild breeze could blow them over!!

The little ones are still feeling tearful and unsettled, especially my little turtle bear. It's heartbreaking to witness and I feel utterly useless :(. He has confessed that he's been having horrible thoughts about how ill I've been and has been worrying about loosing me and then has been feeling guilty about worrying about himself. I've done my best to reassure him that all that he's feeling is normal and tried to reassure him that I'm not going anywhere! We have also discussed 'the worst case' scenario and I asked him what he wanted/didn't want and he has basically got himself worked up about the possibility of having to live with his dad. Ive assured him that if that's not what he wants it won't happen. The bf told him that he will take care of all of them and this has somewhat settled him, until next time! Even though i am amicable towards their dad it still seems to be tough for them! I wish I could make it easier for all of them :(. I console myself with the knowledge that when they are grown they will look back and know that I tried my utmost best to do right by them! Just a shame it doesn't help them now.

On a brighter note, friends and the bf's mum came for lunch today. It's been a lovely afternoon indoors drinking cups of coffee and munching on homemade cookies and my friend bought me flowers to help speed up my recovery :) it was lovely talking about past mis adventures lol The things the bf did as a child (much to his distress) told my his mum! He really was a comical little person!! I only wish she had bought pictures!! Lol

Turtle and myself attempted to make apple swans this evening but I kind of took over panicking about sharp knifes and not wishing to visit any hospitals this week! We have decided bigger apples are needed and will attempt again when I've found them (may take me a few years)!!

It's bedtime for the little people now so I hope you've all had a pleasant day and thanks for all your previous comments and stars :). Hump day tomorrow! The weekend is getting closer!!!! :)
