Lockdown 3; Day 6

Last night was marginally better than the night before...at least I stayed in bed!! Sleep itself was still decidedly broken and when I tried to get up my legs did not appear to be in agreement and the first attempt resulted in a bit of a collapse. Hopefully no new bruises that I will have to explain away tomorrow.

Mikey was also not in a sleeping mood and appears to have snuck down to collect his phone and headphones. Unfortunately the headphones only stop Mum and Dad from hearing whatever he is watching and are not able to stiffle his giggles! As a result we have only just done his maths - but he does seem to have got the hang of it so long as we can get him engaged and focussed. I have printed off some spelling 'games' and puzzles for Mikey and Dad to work on tomorrow whilst I am in hospital - at least we won't all be wasting the afternoon that way! Although I am half expecting to get a call cancelling it!

Our genius is now upstairs creating quite a racket and stomping along the lines of a herd of elephant. Quite how one child can make so much noise is beyond me! And if I am honest I would love to stop all the shooting noises as they annoy me intensely and I'm pretty sure they are banned under the covid laws due to the amount of spray they produce.

Lunch was actually eaten happily today, scrambled eggs are easy to digest so I'm hoping they will at least stay put! I just need to come up with ideas for lunch that I actually want to eat...and do not take much preparation as cooking is really not something I want to do at the moment.

I told the school that we are not around tomorrow thanks to my procedure so I got a call this afternoon checking up on me and how Mikey is doing. Hopefully I was suitably positive 😀 At least they agreed that if I'm not interested in the subject, trying to sell it to Mikey is impossible! So drawing fossils is not going to happen and I really don't feel it is anything important that he is missing out on!

What is even more amazing is that Mikey has nearly filled his book - compared to Lockdown 1 this is amazing and totally unknown! But apparently we can nip in to the school reception and pick another one up for him!

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

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

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
