I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed tonight at the thoughts of the new term starting (dc start again on Wednesday). I had great intentions of getting stuck in on the physio and OT goals over the summer that didn't amount to much. And now the thoughts of trying to fit all that in, with school, swimming, and the homework battles and the mealtime battles and trying to give DS enough time to drone on about Lego and trying to be fair to a NT sibling and divide myself into slices so everyone gets a bit of me.....deep breath) 
Anyway, it has to be done. In the past I've tended to push aside my needs and run myself ragged, not because I'm auditioning for sainthood but just that dealing with one more person's needs is too much. So I find myself out in the rain with no coat having got everyone else into wellies and rain gear, or not bothering with my iron supplements or to eat a proper meal, and of course that just feeds a vicious cycle. But sometimes ignoring myself is the only relief from the constant relentless demands
Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
I know I need to get into a habit of taking my supplements, eat 5 a day, get some exercise, have a healthy lunch. It just feels like more to-do's or ways to fail as a parent.
