Ds has aspergers. He has had a few weeks. 2 weeks in isolation and now no school.No early start, no stressing about going to school. Up, relaxed school work, time in the garden with the dog.
The more relaxed routine really suits him.
I went back to fulltime work when he was 6 months. So this is unexpected but lovely.
I have seen my employer for exactly what they are. I am moving on to a more flexible role after this, even if it means a pay cut. So shit now, but it's a decision I have been trying to make for ages. This has made my mind up.
Realised how much of my day is spent fielding ridiculous questions, 'managing' middle age mens tantrums and trying to head them off before they start and general office politics. Got so much more work done in a shorter period.
Sat outside at lunchtime. Not at my computer. Wasnt rushing from the alarm going off.
I am very worried about the situation. My parents are in their 60s and have health problems. Dad still works in the nhs. Ds is still recovering from a chest infection we both had about 6 weeks ago. Still not eating like he did. Dd I vitamin d3 deficient, so worried about her.
But we are all indoors. All safe as we can be and together.
Dp is off as well. He cooked dinner. And I am getting a bubble bath. Usually at is one I would be replying to emails that I didnt get chance to do, during the day. I am thinking about that, and how much of a break the planet is getting while we all are reducing our carbon foot print.
It's not easy, it's a struggle to juggle us all at home. We all get snippy, especially teen dd. But overall....this is a good time for my family.
Just wish it was in better circumstances. I wish my best friend could come round and join us. Or my parents. I worry I won't see my parents again.
But, there definitely positives in this house. Like I said just wish it wasnt in these circumstances.
