Her teacher had told D that F had seemed tired during the day and it was obvious in the evening that she was tired out &#8211; and saying it was too late for TV was the last straw for her and we had half an hour of crying and shouting, leaving me (and her) exhausted. Hopefully a good nights sleep and having the day off school tomorrow will help balance her out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"946\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-946x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-778\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-946x1024.jpg 946w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-277x300.jpg 277w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-768x831.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-1420x1536.jpg 1420w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-1893x2048.jpg 1893w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8175-800x866.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoping that I&#8217;m feeling more balanced out tomorrow as well. D and I have decided to take the first two weeks of August off work and it can&#8217;t come soon enough &#8211; I&#8217;ve not had a break since Christmas and really feeling it now (we originally were meant to have a week off at Easter but once we couldn&#8217;t go away I just worked through that). It would be great to go away but we&#8217;re not altogether sure about that yet (and would be a pain to book something and find a local lockdown stopped us going). I&#8217;m still hopeful we might get away somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe, stay strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling: A bit frustrated and down Listening to:\u00a0Happy music Watching:\u00a0Free Solo Bit of a frustrating day work-wise &#8211; I had a problem which I broke, partially solved, then broke again in new and different ways until I no longer could remember how I&#8217;d partially solved it in the first place &#8211; leaving me having done&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diary","tag-covid19"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":780,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775\/revisions\/780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
