Well, after a brief chat to Miss CY, she recommended The Pursuit of Happyness as an uplifting film. However I sat weeping during and sometime after the film ended. The hardship of being a single parent, not being able to provide a home for your five year old and feeling exhausted by living rough was heart breaking. Ok so the ending has a beautiful echo of hope against the odds, dreams being fulfilled and perseverance, but still hard to bear. Anyway that was my Saturday evening flick with AD & SA.

We chose to take it easy on Sunday, however it was far from relaxing as Rich was so moody and snappy, and it rubbed of on my tired self, as I only managed to have five hours sleep….so by 3pm we all took ourselves of to bed for an afternoon nap and felt quite refreshed.

Well today was LV’s three hour session at nursery. Sadly it was not as successful as I hoped. LV found it very hard to interact with the other children and only felt comforted by reading on the lap of her key worker. I hated us being apart. I could see she was not herself when I arrived to collect her. She bounced back as soon as we arrived home. I feel annoyed that if she had grandparents to help with the odd hour here or there, she wouldn’t have to go to nursery. But having 2-4 hours on my own has helped so much. I had time to get things organised as I pack and look for a rented temporary home for us.
