4 more days to go

[2shoes]

I am not counting the weekend.
oh and respite from 2 friday until 2 saturday.
phew maybe I will survive

I am not coping now. DD1 has just sat on her potty and peed through her pants and trousers deliberately. The straw that broke the camel's back. 6 weeks without a break. I don't even know when she starts school so can't mentally count down.

Dd1 goes back on Thursday. Despite this having been a relatively calm summer for us, with some great leaps forward from dd1, its not a day too soon.

Dd2 also starts pre-school next week - ooh, child free time, blimey, won't know what to do with myself

In looking forward to but dreading same time putting ds on the bus mind if his headrest not here he won't be going on. Monday

And yep Riven we have the same loads if appoinments Seotember /October and because of transport ge be of all day to

I phoned the council the other day in a panic that they might have thought DD1 could go on transport with just a booster. They had ordered her car seat the day before . Apparently her form said that she required a 5-point harness. (Well of course it did, I sat over the woman filling it in and watched her write it, with NO SENSE OF DANGER after it, but that doesn't mean that the message got through, does it? )

I have her MDR next week(yikes ) and then got an email about a meeting at the school, I said ummm nah I need some time of thanks,
dd's MDR is at her school though(all her appointments are

I hope it goes well for her, 2shoes. Is this the big one, about where she spends the next few years? Or did you manage to keep her where she is?

I'm going be on phone most of tomorrow me thinks chasing people ekkk

I'm just relived ds should have 2 years at unit before need to start worrying thoughthey have said there know if approiate for ds by Xmas time or if looking at yet another school

Back to school and work on Thursday,off on Friday for Ados test!

Mine don't go back until the 7th . And Ds2's respite has cancelled this week as she has to work

logle, I suppose it is the start, her Annual review about a month after(scared emotion) she will stay where she is.........or I will chain myself to the school

Be bold, be courageous.....

After a weekend at my parents (and an unfortunate confluence of hormones), I sat and cried and cried and cried, last night, after DS1 had his 3rd major scream-the-neighbourhood-down meltdown in 4 days.

At least DS2 covered me up with his sleeping bag when I was slumped on the sofa feeling sorry for myself :)

He's very withdrawn, but at least keeping it together, so far today. DH has the day off tomorrow so we can take DS2 to an appointment across the county, so Thursday is another potential flashpoint. That leaves 3 more days and I will include the weekend, since DS1 will probably spend most of that getting increasingly worked up about going to school on monday.

Deep breaths...

Hurrah for school. DS doesn't want to go but I want him to! He's started throwing things today, a new outlet for his behaviour. He cheerfully threw a plate and a fruit bowl in the air. Beginning to think I need to re-think my house design if this continues....
