I have finally taken the first step in dealing with so many of the ridiculous amount of things that have been crowding my world lately.

Yesterday I had my first appointment with the psychologist, there was too much said to really go into here except I am happy with how it went and I have started to make small changes already.

And that is promising.

T has been more settled lately, she is still having major problems at school and at her mother's house but we are working on that to the best we can.

I had School Girl Mermaid home from school today, caught the cold that is doing the rounds...I took the day off work and we spent some quality time together. I even did scrap booking with her, which I have always disliked. To my surprise it wasn't actually that bad...lol.

The cynic is silenced...

I am working on a picture wall of old black and white photographs of my grandparents, them as children and their wedding days etc. It is shaping up to be pretty beautiful, it's just a shame they won't see it.

The session with the psych has made me very reflective and a bit emotional, but I can already see good things and positive changes will come out of the next three months. I am receptive to change and I think that is the key to this succeeding.

Off to teach School Girl M about astronomy...sigh...I think I may be more of a hindrance than a help!
