Decided to pop in early this week. Ds1 has very kindly donated his stomach bug to me, so I'm likely to be in bed early. Still, I suppose I might lose a couple more pounds, seeing as I can't actually eat anything. 
Fairly quiet, but looooong week here. Ds has finally got his OT Assessment through - on dh's birthday, so as you can imaging dh is well chuffed that, having booked the day off work, he is now going to spend half of it a the clinic.
Finally finished my two week strict low carb diet and will openly admit it was horrible and made me miserable. Low carbing and being a veggie just doesn't mix. Am going to keep carbs low, not eat any refined sugar or carbs and eat healthily from now on. Can't carry on like this, eggs actually make me retch now.
Had a ruck with some of the parents from ds's class in the playground this afternoon, which was lovely as I already felt sick as a dog. I already knew really, but basically had it confirmed they are - with one or two exceptions - a bunch of anti-inclusion bigots, who think that children getting any form of extra help at school is somehow depriving their little dahhhlings of something the might otherwise be getting. 
All of this started over - of all things - some pencil leads for a left handed ergo pencil that I'd ordered for another Mum. Cue a tirade of all the usual crap 'I'm left handed and I've never had problems with my handwriting or needed special pencils - why is your ds such a special case?' 'Dyspraxia? Doesn't that just mean clumsy child?' etc only escalating to 'dyslexia doesn't exist, its not fair for 'them' to get extra time in exams - what about all the other children?' and 'well yes, I'm sure all the children would prefer to type their work - but they're not allowed are they'. Honestly, I was fit to explode, but decided they aren't worth the trouble - they quite obviously read the Daily Mail and aren't willing to see things from anyone else's point of view. The other two mums whose children have SN also backed right off, I presume sensing the futility of arguing with such closed minded prejudiced people. Needless to say, they will not be being told about ds's ASD dx.
Now I remember why I choose not to socialise with 99.9% of the other Mums in the playground.
Received a mahooosive questionnaire to fill in for ds1's outward bound trip in April. I am dreading it, worrying about how he'll cope and really looking forward to a weekend off all at the same time. 
Also received a letter/report from our useless Paed appointment last week - when we only got to see the Paed for two minutes and were fobbed off with a GP, who was on his first day of 'helping out' because he wants to be his surgery's Paediatric Specialist - he was absolutely crap!
The letter/report has been copied to all and sundry without my permission and includes personal family and medical details as well as being worded as if I am a fussy mother who is worrying about nothing. I didn't bloody ask for him to be referred. Two separate GPs were both concerned enough about his digestive problems and absences to refer him for further investigation. What did he think I did - referred myself fgs!
Phoned to complain and found they had shut for the weekend, so left a very snotty message on their answerphone asking for an explanation, an apology and for them to not circulate copies of the report without amending it first - I'm sure they've already sent it, so that'll be interesting.
So, up until today, the week was ok other than having ds1 off sick for two days and enjoying the lovely constant soundtrack of throat clearing, clicking and humming. 
DJ, sorry things are still tough - dh and I have been discussing whether or not I will ever make it back into employment due to a combination of mine health and ds's SNs. As you say, its a big scary decision. Hope you and ds have a great time on your cinema trip.
