Hi all
I'm starting this thread so I can write and then lurk as too much typing causes too much pain. I am having my rib removed next Friday so I definitely won't be lurking 
Just back from school where I met DS's lovely lovely teacher for Y2. She actually treated me as if I might know my son and have some ideas of what might help him in the classroom 
We talked about play therapy, what to do at playtime as he has no friends and just wanders, chill out zone to e ale to run and jump, how to help in the class room etc etc. She is my dream teacher for DS. I am so so happy that I don't feel that I have to fight with the school :)
Then realised that due to my drug-filled brain I had left my keys on the kitchen table. This led to my 75 year old neighbour climbing through a 1st floor window up a really high ladder to get me in
Hope you all have had some good moments this week in between some of the problems that I have been reading about ...............
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

yr school sounds fab, am so pleased! . Yr neighbour sounds lovely too, .
well, first week (mornings) has gone well, ds is now managing to walk down the slope to me holding his TA's hand altho he gets confused at the bottom and can't seem to understand it is then ok to come to me, so we have tears at pick up each day. 
He has loved his nudi-forn and his school shoes, (fab!) and altho he now is a knackered and 'fragile' 
little man he has coped really well. He is happy about 'big school' and his TA seems lovely.
The possibility of the PGCE is getting more likely, so that's good too. All in all a good week at chez sign.
Have been thinking about those who are having crappy weeks tho...
Phew!! I have completed my first week of Grandma duties and settled Dd3 back into school. She has gone in easily the last 2 days due to being desperate to get away from Dgd..
They are not great together and things have been very awkward at home.
Dd2 has completed a weeks work experience at our local outdoor pursuits centre. She has been kayaking and sailing with young people with various disabilties, she has really enjoyed it and been challenged along the way.
Oh and we finished the DISCO assessment at CAMHS and now have to wait until the 26th for the results.
God no wonder I am knackered..
Hellooooooooo
Having a rib removed - bloody hell. Isnt that torture?
Had my second day back in work this week, first day with my boss. Told him what was going on at home and he sent me straight home. Occ health called today and asked me more questions and said they will put in a report saying I am unfit for work at the mo. crikey. its a massive relief though. I was having massive panic attacks just trying to dress for work. Going to ask shrink to sign me off for a bit when I see him on monday.
I'm still pondering. Applications for uni open in November but a scitt is advertising for april start.
I need out of the drudgery and shifts now. My MH is shot still, I care too much and it's dragging me under 
which is a bugger because I'm pretty good at what I do (judged on how well I get on with my Dudes) also the money is shit
Hi all - sounds like most everyone is getting through the first week of school okay. DS2 has been adapting to year one pretty well - same TAs throughout the day and one of his job-sharing teachers is the same, so huge help in his adjustment. He's been exhausted at the end of the day, and seems more ready to meltdown lately (most likely due to exhaustion), but he does seem pleased to be back in school.
He's developed an interesting habit of stomping his foot and emphasising every word he shouts when he is angry about something. Very hard to keep a straight face. I've perfected raising one eyebrow for these occasions. He's not quite sure how to react when I just wait for him to wind down.
Stupid GP gave DH wrong instructions for his meds. He finally agreed to talk to GP about it, and now is taking it correctly. (have I mentioned that this GP is useless?!?!?!) There has been a fair bit of improvement, although certainly much room for more. Now we need to see him feeling well enough to return to work, and (as per doctor's orders) on dayshift. Thank the good lord - he just was not coping well with nights.
Happy Friday! Off to find some 
as I have a whole tin of quality street sitting next to me. Christmas choccies already in store... gotta love it!
Please excuse the smut but doesn't having a rib removed make one bendy enough to er 
self pleasure?
Glad things are looking up for everyone - smug, use the rock bottom to launh yourself
I thought that was only blokes?? Now thinking.... 
.
ds also practising 'cross' (he says ARGHHHHH! with lots of face twisting wne cross) which is lovely cos it is appropriate and does not involve teeth,
Ooh huge progress for signling
Ooh, another positive, I've had two customers for trousers and one was so happy they ordered more - so a small person will be comfy in his uniform on his first day Yay!

Hello. Just popping in to say despite the most shit week imaginable (barring bereavement) I'm still here, still surviving and still interested in all your news.
Told the boys about the separation this evening, DS2 just said, "Are you divorced, where's your wedding ring, will you be EllenJane Maiden Name? Then said "bye" to dickhead and settled down to watch some Doctor Who. DS1 and DS3 not so happy, but not as bad as I had thought.
First problem, a ginormous spider the size of a saucer in their bedroom, had to knock up a neighbour who was in his dressing gown! How the neighbours will talk!
Ellen {{squidge}} and I saw your thread but didn't have anything useful to say, not having experienced any of it
Sounds like SIL's ex-bastard. They couldn't work out why DNiece was in meltdown every day at about 6pm, then he left and it stopped...
