Bankruptcy

This is my latest challenge.

Sadly after building up a huge credit card bill and having a change in financial circumstances. I am now going facing bankruptcy.

I am feeling more positive though than I have for a long time. Once I have got this sorted out, I am going to make a clean start and make sure that I do not ever make the same mistake ever again.

Very tired

I am so tired at the moment.

Though it has not helped that not only have I gone to bed late on some nights, but on the nights when I do get in bed at a good time, I am not getting off to sleep well.

Scooting about

My mum got the wee ones scooters for Christmas.

Today the boy managed to get out on them with two boys that live on our street. It was good for them to get out. The other boys were good at teaching them what to do.

I like it when they are outside as they do seem to have a lot of fun when they are out. when they are in and on the computer of Wii they do nothing but shout at eachother and get upset when they lose. Sometimes I just feel like banning them. Something that is meant to be fun for them ends up being anything but (for all of us)

Award

My eldest son has got a writers award of the month recently. I think that is great. He got it for writing a letter to Time Team about viking graves. I think that is really great.

Oh dear

On Wednesday the teachers told em that they wanted to speak to me about something that my eldest had done.

While the teachers are sure there was no ill intent, he still put a pencil in another boys ear. He was told off about it and the following day he was kept in for break and lucnh. Thankfully he wrote out a letter to say sorry as well. I think it will be good for him to to have done that, as it is a good way of him learning to do something to make up for what he did.

Thankfully the boy  had no problems and had been checked out by the doctors.

Hopefully nothing like that will happen again.

Listening

Arghhhhhh I really wish that my wee ones would listen to me when I tell them things and do as I ask.

I am getting tired of raising my voice. It is not working either, so I need to find a better way.

Though one thing my youngest son has been doing that is really sweet. He has been coming uyp to me and saying 'Mummy is as sweet as honey'

Aspergers

I was talking to my friend when we were going for coffee. We were talking about why he is acting like how he is. She said that he could have really mild Apspergers. when she said that, it seemed to make sense. I have asked her to take a look at him so that she can judge for herself. I think I will take him for a sleepover and get her to watch how he is.

He has had his moments, but when he has been good, he really has been good.

My younger son was having a lot of moments today and he was really upsetting a lot of us. However I was happy when he had his good moments. He helped me pick up the lego and there was other times when he sat quietly when I asked him to. I just now need to work on making the good moments more often.
