Is it safe to say on here that I am not feeling at all Christmassy?

[PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen]

Usually I like Christmas, a lot. This year I could just crawl in a hole i think and give it a miss.

DS1 has completely lost it lately, schhool have every member of staff on alert all the time. I ahve suggested a statement review but the SENCO is away for a few weeks after school restarts as she broke her wrist badly.

DS3 was diagnosed last Monday, I was numb for a few days but now the confiormation that the best we will hope for is supported living is becoming real after years of thinking its all in my head.

Dh is getting ill agian too- nto the depression (well no more than usual) but the problems we had before- shaking, memory issues- I can have an entire convo with him now that he can't remember. I am praying its meds related- if it isn't- oh shit!

So just having a whinge really I know most of you have it so much worse so feeel a bit guilty for this is getting stupid now! All it is is fighting between the older two, all day. not sibling stuff- full on, cage fighter, violent stuff. They hate each other. DS3 is either computer or hyper as well.

I know we have a good Christmas planned, lots of gifts and food, but there's just nt that happy sense this year if you know what I meean? I've even got to explain to the boys that MIL couldn't even manage a card for them this year (bizarrely my parents got one weeks ago from her)

Thanks for the chance to whinge, appreciated.

How ya feeling Peachy?
I ask coz the xmas bug seems to have got me today. Nothing at all to do with going in to work and coming homw with a bottle of Gin . The tree's up and looking lovely, Gabe has a frankly ridiculous number of presents and I bravely faced Tesco and M&S this morning, so I don't need to leave the house again for some time!
I hope you are feeling better xxxx

Well ds1 is at an all time low (has attacked both DH and I) but off out tonight so hoping that helps##

Merry Christmas all

come visit. we'd love to see you again.

I will soon NMC. Been feeling a bit too low to do anything bar sit in th kitchen whilst Dh cleans around me (I have a good man ) but will try hard to pick myself up now. It's just shock- the prognosis was more severe than we expected I think- but that will wear off.

hugs to all yours (but not your DH, lovely though he is I think it'd scare him )

not very mumsnetty I know.
Hun

don't you hun me gggrrrrrrr

Peachy
(LOL)

when you are ready. Your kids are a delight and I've a basin of fossils and shark's teeth still
Will make vegan cheesecake and can do GF/DF lasagne ifn you want.

which reminds me. You know dd is starting the ketogenic diet for her fits. Well, was reading how the modified Atkins and the keto have been shown to help in ASD children. This was US research. I wouldn't attempt the keto without medical supervision but the Atkins might be a thought.
(I assume you've heard of the Feingold diet too?)

we've done feingold but we're going to give anything another gp (ds2 has a badly ;aceratd face after car incident tonight ), atkins sounds doable- in what way modified?

keto would be imossible as ds1 has a severe dairy intol anyhow so cream / butter eyc not an option

ds1 will be after those teeth (some git kid at school stole his entire crytal collection and fossils too from his schoolbag- sobbed his heart out he did)
