told the kids (sort of)

Well this morning I decided it was ridiculous not to tell the kids about the fact I'm having an op. As it gets closer there seems no benefit to keeping them in the dark - and also lulu coming home will help me enourmously. When I told Lulu this morning she was very tearful but as I assured her it was in my interest she seemed a lot more understanding. Jake was phillisophical about it all and Sophie Rose dosen't need to know. Jake, Soph and I went to town to get some supplies, had a nice relaxing afternoon getting ready for my few days away and wrote up lessons to be covered at school.

Last night I connected with other people who were aprehensive too and their comments helped to alleviate my worries.
