I think we'll have to spend as much time outside as possible!

My husband has promised he'll get up in the night if we need someone to. I HATE doing that!

reason to believe

I dread the idea that once kids move into my house above me, they will have days where they will have friends over or cousins over and that will sound like a herd of elephants above me. Plus my SIL is a stay at home mom so she will always be home and I am concerned when I have my two week breaks and summer off cause all of us will be around! I'm gonna miss my peace and quiet so much.

My stomach feels weird like I need TUMS,

Man, those wiggly stools really work for getting out the ants in my pants, I should replace my computer chair at home with one of those for an adult size. I get to move while sorting and it feels a bit like exercise.

There You'll Be

for your husband. Yes, I think outside time would be key. :

Leanne I'm sorry you'll be losing some of your peace and quiet.

Do you have any TUMS with you?

Cool chair.

reason to believe

No, I don't usually even have to buy any now cause of my single morning pill I take now. I might have to go get a small roll of them on my way to my second location tho, in two or so hours.

I'm covering books in the back room now. Nice low lamp lit room.

What you doing today, Kimmie?

Meliana

I'm sorry your stomach's upset, Leanne.

You made me laugh though, I can imagine you on that stool. I'm glad it helped!

Thanks Kim! To be honest I was always terrible at getting up in the night!

reason to believe

Claire! I know it probably looks dumb to see grown up me on a wiggle stool for kids, but it's quite fun to use! I do what I gotta do!

I wish things like this were around when I was a kid at school, wiggle stools, fidget/stim objects and sensory input rooms and mini trampolines and such, would have helped so much for me as a kid...oh and noise cancelling headphones. it I still like using them if I find them in the library

I would not want to get up in the night either.

Meliana

I hate losing sleep. Also I find I can't get back to sleep if I'm disturbed. Although my sleep is a lot better these days than it used to be.

Sounds like that school is well equipped! I'm sure my kids' schools don't have those things.
It's great that you can use those things when you need to, for sure!

reason to believe

I'm just wondering, if we meet up Claire, I might get excited in person, I am not sure if I might do the hand stimming in front of you somehow I try to hide it or keep hands in pockets if I'm excited or anxious during meetings, had to warn Karen just in case she caught me during meeting. But as far as I know, she didn't see anything.

Meliana

Well if you do, I'll know what it is, so it'll be all fine.

reason to believe

I like being accepted for who I am

There You'll Be

Leanne glad covering books is keeping you busy. I wouldn't care about your hand stimming either.

You're who you are with us, and that's just the way it is.

I'm starting to get things organized, and doing my mountain of recycling, and laundry. Back is getting tired though, so I'm going to have to nap soon.

Claire I'm up and down through the night, but I hate being woken up to get up.

Meliana

I've nearly finished my towels, now too, Kim. I hope you have a good nap.

Honestly don't worry, Leanne. We do accept you for who you are.

There You'll Be

I haven't even started hanging my laundry up to dry.

It seems too heavy, wet, to pick up and hang.

Glad you're almost done.

Have a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow!

reason to believe

I like all the virtual hugs we give.

Which is nice cause in real life, it's touch and go for me hugging but imaginary ones in my head are lovely

Thanks, buds

Sweet dreams, ClaireBun! oh, wait, I mean Kim

I'm almost done here and gonna have some lunch soon. Glad you're having a decent day, Kim! What groceries did you get ?

There You'll Be

How did the rest of your day go?

I slept for a little bit, but really over did it since I was feeling better. Sitting here hurts, so I don't know how long I'll be around.

I answered you. Very wordy answer email.

Real life hugging-since my grandparents died, when I was in my teens, I have not really had hugs. Occasional ones though, which I appreciate.
