Lockdown, Day 121

The weekend was really tough, I felt awful and constantly sick (Thanks Kidneys) and we tried to help Mikey spend one of his Birthday gift cards...He found a game he wanted in Smyths Toys, but when we went to pay for it we were told it was out of stock. There were out of stock stickers on the PS4 version, but the 2 shelves full of X Box one didn't mention anything. So we left, with a very disappointed and angry child - a toy shop which didn't have the toy he wanted; just loads of empty boxes. To a 10 year old that makes no sense at all...at least he probably won't want to go back anytime soon!!

I stopped off at Dunelm as we were there, I needed a cushion pad for the case I decorated with diamonds. Being sensible I hadn't measured it! But we found a lovely squishy cushion and I was sure I could squish it enough to fit! I did and it is very supportive of my poor old back with it's aches thanks to the 2 beans trying to die inside!

So after a 50% successful trip we returned home as the rain began, Andy and Mikey had a quick lunch and then my small genius decided he needed fresh air so went out to basically dance in the rain! He was out for ages and when he came back was dripping water from everywhere! His shoes were left in the Kitchen and he then dashed up to the bathroom where wet clothes ended up being dumped on the floor and Mikey retreated to bed to warm up as he was cold! It was not child cruelty, all I could hear from him outside were decidedly happy noises and it was his choice! 


This is the only toy shop in Ashford that is open on Sunday. I only suggested it in an attempt to cheer up Mikey who was rather down, guess Mum got it wrong.

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I
