Thank goodness the holidays are over ( belated post)

19/4/12

Well the Superhero went back to school today and I am heaving a huge sigh of relief. Midterm was hard work. We can just about handle one week off but two is a nightmare. On the last trip to the zoo we had a few meltdowns and I was close to tears. I am dreading the long summer holidays. How on earth will I cope with out the structure of school? What can I do to keep a non stop ball of energy entertained for six weeks? Answers on the back of a post card please.

It just seems to be getting harder and harder to do this. I dream of even an hour to myself, just one hour where I don't have to be Sherlock Holmes and see every little possible trigger. Anyone want to swap lives? No takers?  Yeah , didn't think there would be. I'm off to eat my body weight in chocolate and drown in self pity. Normal service shall resume.... sometime.

A Small Victory

So last week was my birthday. It was celebrated very quietly, with no singing, no birthday cake or unwrapping of presents but I did get one exciting piece of post. The Superhero was awarded his domiciliary care allowance. To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. I had my appeal letter already written I was that sure that we would be refused. There are so many families being refused the DCA that I had myself convinced that I would have to fight tooth and nail to get this. It seems someone was looking out for us once again. Cheers Granda, keep up the good work.

With regards the GFCF diet I haven't been the strictest about it but still seeing improvements. There is no substitute for real chocolate though and that is one addiction I can not seem to kick. Any tips?

The Princess has been finally transferred into her own pretty bedroom and seems to like it. Its such a nice room that it puts the rest of the tip/house. House keeping is not one of my skills but I am trying to keep the  Superhero's and the Princess's room nice and neat. Maybe it will rub off on the rest of the house? I can always hope! 

Hopefully I wont leave it so long between posts again but it takes a lot of energy to keep up with a Superhero and its definitely more than I have right now.
