This year has been hard. Different challenges from last year I do admit. Different things that have made me laugh, cry and be generally frustrated at. I have become a stronger person this year. Well I think so anyway lol.
I have gone from being a full time stay at home mum to working part time and starting my own business. All the while juggling with a husband who works away and therapy appointments until they are coming out of my ears.
But you know what? I love my kids and my husband, my job and my life. My children have made me the strong person I am today. Especially Callum. He made me find a voice for him. He made me realise that I can't give up when things get too hard.
This year I went from a son who was suspended twice at school at the start of the year, to a child who just received the Lioness Club Courage Award. My other son had a severe fear of water being on his head and near his face and he has overcome both of those by actually letting me wash his hair without and argument and going for a swim. My daughter is currently suffering through the horridness of anxiety. We have worked out what is causing it and are working through it with her. She is so strong willed and with the right support I know she will overcome it.
I have met new people this year who I have learned a hell of a lot from. Most of them are parents who have kids on the spectrum and they are amazing. We are all facing different journeys with our kids but it is surprising how much alike we are. It is nice to have people who understand exactly what I'm going through or part there of.
There is about 7 weeks until school holidays. It is time for me to start planning now so I have not ended up with cabin fever by the end of the 6 weeks!
Ciao for now
PS good luck with your Christmas shopping!!!
Here is my 3 happy kidlets from throughout the year
Yes you certainly have overcome many challenges throughout the year but I know you will push through them and you will grow stronger from each one. Well done Sarah.
