How are you sweetie?
How is your grand mother? I'm really sorry to learn she will have to go to a nursery center. What happens?
Do you still work from home? Will you have vacation?
School is over I guess for Malouke?
O and N finish on friday, they had to go back to school for the last 2 weeks, it was ok but N still have her problem. She see a psychologist to help her.
We also find O some difficults and try to help him. He did some great progress but need some appointments for other things so our summer is fill with appointments for both..
We cancel all our plan during lockdown but we won't go anywhere unfortunately. But we are a little worry about the Covid situation here's to be honnest. What about you my friend?
Thank you so much for your kind word Sweetie!
Hope you and your family are well and safe! Still think of you and don't forget you! I send you lot's of love!

@Emily:
Hi sweetie,
thank you so much for your kind words.
My grandmother was unconcious and they brought her to the hospital. She suffers from dementia and often doesn't remember my grandfather. She thinks she's living with a stranger. My grandfather has diabetes and isn't in good health, so he couldn't take care of her any longer. She's now in the nursing home for two weeks. Every time we visit, she wants to come home. It's so hard to leave her there. It makes me so sad.
Yes, I'm still working from home. Normally, I go back to the office in September. Until then, I work from home. It's hard sometimes, I miss my friends from work and my co-workers, but I feel a lot safer at home.
Yes, oh, I'm looking so farward to my vacation. I'll have two weeks off at the end of July. Malouke finished school on June 30th. She's with us until Wednesday. She goes to her mother from July 8th till the end of July. She will be back with us in August. I'm planning on taking an extra week off from work in August, so we can spend some time together and do some fun stuff.
Are planning on some fun stuff to do with O and N during the Summer Holidays?
I can totally understand you had to cancel all your plans due to the pandemic. It's still so scary. And the virus isn't gone, yet! We all still have to be very careful.
We try to avoid crowds as well. We don't plan on going on vacation either. It's hard though... Malouke was already bored last week.
When do they have to go back to school?
I'm so sorry to read N is still having some problems. I hope the psychologist can help her. I'm crossing my fingers for your sweet little girl!
And your beautiful little boy as well. It's great to read he's made some progress. I'm cheering for him. Way to go!! And to you too! You're such a great and beautiful mother. You can be proud of yourself and your beautiful kids. 
I saw you found some time for yourself and were able to do some scrapping! Yay! I'm happy for you. Think of yourself too, from time to time.
Stay safe my friend.
And try to enjoy the Summer and the holidays... eventhough it will be a lot different then what we're all used to.
I'll be thinking of you and your family. Bug hugs and lots of love.

Thank you Sweetie for your long message! Love to hear from you each time!
I'm so sorry for your grand mother. This is really sad. I really hope she can find peace and finally understand the situation but suffering from dementia can't help. I guess how it must be difficult for you and your grand father. If you need to talk or just anything I'm here for you Sweetie!
I understand what you feel about home working but I'll also feel a lot safer at home. I'm glad you're at home, I know you're safe!
I saw we have the same plans for holidays! Hope you can have time to take rest and have fun! You deserve it! And that's great if you can have another week in august with Malouke!
To be honnest, we don't really know what to do for fun plans. We think of one day at Center Parc like last year but the rules seems difficult and we are still worried about the virus as there is a cluster in our departement. We want to wait august maybe to see how thing goes.
We plan to visit a museum and maybe one or two castle as we live near but nothing sure. I hope you find great ideas for you and then with Malouke!
Mine get bored too!
They said it was funniest at school!lol!
Normally the back to school day is on September 1st but they have a special session 5 day on the morning for helping them with lessons the last week of august.
What about Malouke?
Thank you so much Sweetie for your kind words, it really touch me! I think Malouke is so cute little girl too! I think you are a great stepmother too!
Yeah I find a little time, I try to take time lol but I'll need more hour in a day!
I love reading the forum and admiring layouts in the gallery when I can't scrap.lol.
I'm happy to see your layouts too, you scrap so well it's always a pleasure!
Stay safe too my friend!
I wish you too an happy summer and great holidays! For sure it'll be very different but we have to do with it. You're right the virus is still here and we have to be careful.
I'll think of you too for sure my Friend! Lot's of love and Big hug!

Hi sweetie,
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend. That means a lot to me.
yes, it is really sad. When we visit her and we leave... I just want to take her home and tell her it will be alright. It makes me so sad that I can't do that. The thing is... due to the dementia, she doesn't understand what's going on anymore. She doesn't understand coronavirus or why we wear masks.
I can totally understand how you are feeling about your Summer plans. I think going to Center Parcs for a day is a great idea. But like you said... the rules are difficult. And how are people going to take distance in a swimming pool? So, yes, I feel the same way about it as you do.
And I think going to a museum and visit a castle or two are great ideas as well! Personally, I think it's even safer than going to Center Parcs.
What kind of museum would you like to visit? Something historical or science? I love museums myself and I often think that I don't visit them enough.
On one hand, you want your kids to have a fun and great Summer vacation. But on the other hand, you just want everyone to be safe. It's a thin line and it's hard sometime to find balance.
Malouke also goes back to school on September 1st. (That is, if it's safe to go).
She was home from March 14th until June 2nd. In June her class was devided into two groups. One group had lessons in the morning, the other group in the afternoon.
It was the only way they could garantee social distancing. And it was like that until the end of the schoolyear.
They don't have extra lessons in August, like N and O have. They just start on September 1st.
But how are you doing sweetie? Can you free your mind? Are you hanging in there? I'm thinking of you!
Lots of love
Big hug
Your friend from Belgium

Sorry Sweetie, I take time to answer but it was a busy week and N starts to have new fears..
The next week is busy too and I feel myself anxious thinking of it! lol!
I think you are busy too as I see you didn't have lot of time to scrap.
Again, I'm so sorry for your grandmother..
It must be really hard and difficult to leave her, I totally understand.
This is so bad she had dementia, she must feel lost with this crisis, it must have change all the little marks she could have.
I wish you lots of courage for this difficult time.
For the holidays, I think we won't go to center Parc, people doesn't respect the social distanciation here's.
I feel a little lost because N is totally anxious about this and we try to go out eating in her fave restaurant.
It was ok, people follow the rules, there was distanciations and all.
Then we just go by car in a city near for showing her things were nearly normal and we were shock to see lots of people were drinking all in group, no wearing mask, no distanciation, nothing except it was crowded.. Like if all was normal. N decide to keep her mask even in the car. I try to explain her she wasn't in risk but she was so scare..
My mother and I decide it would be probably the same in Center Parc and we are scare but try not showing her.
They starts talking about the second wave for the end of summer or september/ october, they already said the back to school will be the same as it was before holidays and maybe in bad case, homeschool.. Just knowing that makes me anxious.
How is it in Belgium?
What do you think of this kind of behavior?
About Museum, we are the same!lol! I love it too but don't take enough time to visit them lol!
N want to visit a museum about history of magic. Think it look interesting and funny. We also find one about prehistoric time that looks great.
I will tell you if we finally go or not! lol!
What about you? What kind of museum do you like?
Are you planning to visiting some with Malouke?
I so agree with you, that thin line is very difficult to find balance!
I see what you mean for Malouke school! They start a little like this here and then for the last 2 weeks decide it was obligatory and stop a lot the distanciation. Fortunately as they are twin, they said they can stay together as they are from the same family and they weren't too mix up with the other kids but we were invited to school and to be honest it was a mess..
Malouke school seems safer!
Were she happy to go back to school?
I try to find time but I admit actually it is a little complicated, normally next week should be smoother.
What about you Sweetie? Are you still working from home?
Aren't you too tired?
I'm thinking of you too! I'm so happy to read you each time!
I wish you a great week and hope you'll find time for you too!
I send you big hugs and lots of love! Take care about you and your family!
