I forgot how unstructured school holidays are in comparison to a normal school day. But they all got bored very quickly. Pat was at work for most of the school holidays (perfect timing lol). There is only so many fun filled public activities that I can handle without feeling the need to drink half a bottle of vodka by the time I get home. Please note that I didn't drink throughout the holidays however tempted I was to do so. I decided to start sewing instead. It helped me to destress. Mind you a couple of months ago I was seriously not the sewing type. I thought I would just do it for something to do. So my choice was either sew or drink..... thats what it boiled down to throughout most of the fortnight they had off lol. That was my escape. A good one at that.
On the first Tuesday our youngest went to daycare so I decided to take the twins to cinema. All was good until I then found out the session I had turned up for was in 3d. So it was either see the movie in 3d or wait another hour at the movies for the next one to start. PASS!!! Here we have our first 3d movie experience seeing The Lorax. (sorry the picture isnt too crash hot it was taken on my iPhone.)
We had a ball! Went so much better than I had imagined! Was so funny when Rhiannon tried to grab images that she thought were coming out at her. Except for Cal being slightly overstimulated before the movie we did pretty well.
On the two Thursdays of the holidays I put the twins into care for the day so I could have a break. By god I needed it. A huge thank you to Kath for taking them for the day.
So poor little Cal has had to deal with a huge whack to his routine over the holidays and thats where the "I don't want to go to sleep" started....... fun fun. Idiot me decided to have a movie night with the kids and let them stay up instead of their usual 7.30pm bedtime. BIG MISTAKE!!! It is now a week on and I am still trying to get Cal back into sleeping routine. He is getting better though we are down to 8.30pm he finally goes to sleep as opposed to 11pm lol.
This week is back to school. So far no good. First day he refused to do any work whatsoever (but when I brought him home at 11.30am I managed to get him to do some homework). Yesterday we nearly got a phonecall because he was being disruptive. Honestly I'm not actually holding high hopes for him being there until I am meant to pick him up this morning.
So by the looks of it..... I'm back to square one. On the bright side he has finally got an appointment with DSQ to have an assessment done so we can get some help at all. But his education currently isn't looking overly fantastic. I'm back to the drawing board with this one.
Well I am off for the morning to clean my house that my children have ripped through like a tornado over the holidays lol.
Cheers :)
