It started with me being an eejit (that’s Scottish for idiot by the way) and not going to bed till 2am. My own fault I know… you’d think I’d know better by now, right?
Then I was woken at about 4.30am by a crying Max. I think he thought it was time to get up as the birds were tweeting and it was getting light.
So down the stairs I went and got him some milk, hoping that’d calm him down.
No such luck. Crying ensued as I closed the door on him.
Somehow Zack managed to sleep through it all!
I figured since Max was crying and I couldn’t sleep I might as well head downstairs and see if anyone was on twitter for me to moan at chat to.
Then…
Well, lets just say that instead of taking the two initial Immodium I ended up having to take the remains of a whole pack over about 3 hours.
It was not fun!
I didn’t want to go upstairs to try to sleep till I knew I wouldn’t need to make a run for the loo, so I lay down on the sofa and the next thing I knew it was about 8.30am and Zack was in the living room asking why I was there!
So yeah… that was a fun start to the week!
*****
Then this afternoon, a lovely lady called Marie came over (for the second time) to help me with filling out Max’s DLA form (Disability Living Allowance), which lead to us having to write down all the negatives of living with Max.
That… that wasn’t so much fun.
I don’t like thinking about all the negatives of living with my lil man.
I normally try to focus on the positives.
Like that he’s been asking for milk with the PECS card EVERY time now. With a little prompting, but still, YAY!
And that he’ll give me a cuddle and a kiss goodnight now.
And the way he gets Zack to chase him when he’s out in the garden, and giggles the WHOLE time.
*****
Then there was this evening, which has consisted of period cramps.
What a wonderful Monday eh?
Tuesday’s gotta be better, right?
RIGHT?

Brenda´s last blog ..iHappy Monday
Hehe damn right!
Happy Tuesday to you! That’s pants having to actively think of the negatives of living with your babe – having said that if anyone asked me about the negatives of living with my arsey teenagers this morning I’d be pretty hard to shut up – a shovel to my head might work…
MrsW´s last blog ..What have I gone and done diddly done?
Hehe, trust me there are days when I feel like that too, but I’ve managed to stop most of the negative thinking to do with Max and his difficulties, most of the time!
It is hard to focus on the negatives, I remember it well, but it is for a reason and when the form is done it will be over. I felt a bit like I was betraying my lil fella by saying that stuff when I love him dearly and want to have him. Like I said, hard.
Re early wake ups, we had to tape black plastic bags over the windows, to supplement the blackout curtain linings, but it worked
Hope you are feeling ok now, big hug for you.

@jencull´s last blog ..Not a morning person!
Yeah, the fact that the blind in their room broke really isn’t helping at the moment! >_<
Feeling better today, other than this flipping migraine, however now it’s just a dull ache thank god!
Dammit, I’m sorry yesterday was so shite. Hope today was better. ((((hugs))))
Thanks sweety, today has been better! x
YES, RIGHT!
There is nothing more depressing than being forced to think about and actually document the negative things that we spend all our time trying to think of as positive. Believe me, I know what you’re talking about. It sucks.
Glad you’re over the… Immodium issue.
Krissa´s last blog ..Sasha Fierce
LOL I’m glad I’m over it too!
I know it’s for the best, means that Max will get what he needs etc, but still like you say, it’s hard!

It has been, thanks honey. xx
Being an old timer filling out these evil evil forms, believe me it gets easier. YOU know that there are wonderful times but in order to have more and get the supports and help you both need you have to paint a picture of a hellion.
Well not quite, but years from now you will remember that first time and realise that it was the best thing you could do for him.
Kelley @ Magnetoboldtoo´s last blog ..How NOT to blog.
Thanks Kelley, I know it needs to be done, just hard, as you know! xx
And?? How was the rest of the week? I hope your life took a step up

When Mum was sick she wanted me to apply for the carers payment for looking after her. She nagged me about it heaps.I even went as far as getting the paperwork sent out but There was one question though that I just could not tick the box for and that was,
Is this illness terminal? Will the person in your care be dead within three months?
What sort of question is that, the beaurocratic fuckers? Mum knew that it was that question that was stopping me and so I didn’t apply. even though she kept on nagging me about it.
frogpondsrock´s last blog ..There is only so much room inside my head…
I had to read over that bit too, I felt awful that I was relieved I didn’t have to fill it in. How awful it must be, and mine was for a children’s DLA application.
It’s an awful question to have to ask isn’t it?
*hugs*
I hope you’re all ok sweety, I know this is gonna be a really tough time of year for you all. xxx
