Whoa what a month I am having. I know I have been quiet over the last few weeks but soooooooooo much has been happening and I am totally exhausted. Now where to start. Oh yes I have self diagnosed myself with needing a holiday. I'm worn out, my skin feels like crap, my hair feels like crap and my body is just telling me to sleep lol. I am one worn out mumma!!!
Callum has decided that he doesn't need to go to sleep when he is told to. Slightly frustrating for me as after 7.30pm this is MY TIME. Most parents do it. It's the couple of hours before we go to bed where we can chill out and get things done that need to be done. My son feels there is no need for this. Last night he decided that he would eventually fall asleep at 10.30pm and that was only because I had had enough, turned all the lights out in the house and went to bed myself. He was then slightly surprised when I woke him up at 6.30am when I got up. Hopefully tonight he might be a little bit more understanding with going to bed earlier. His sleeping pattern has become out of whack since the last school holidays but last night I was on the verge of losing my cool big time.
A couple of weeks ago Callum had his paedeatric appointment and we made the huge decision to medicate him to help him with concentration levels at school. Please don't feel that we have decided to take the easy way out as I felt like the biggest most horrible parent in the world when I first started giving it to him. But alas. School has gotten a lot easier for him to handle and he is actually doing more work than what he has been allocated. He actually got an award for a great week at school last week. I nearly cried. It was the first week the whole year where I didn't hear "Callum did this" or "Callum did that". One of the proudest moments I have had in a long time. He is actually sitting at his desk and doing his work. Interacting in class activities and doing what he's told. His hours are slowly being extended at school and he is being transitioned into the next stages of what needs to happen. I don't give it to him on weekends because it is purely to help him concentrate at school.
So Patty is halfway through a swing at work and I'm back to doing it on my own for a while. Me and the 3 munchkins. Thankfully the way his shifts are layed out he will be home for school holidays WHOOHOO!!! I am off to do a market this weekend with the things I have been making so that will be a few hours break I get and Grandad will be watching them. Poor grandad lol. I hope he makes it out of my madhouse lol.
