Melt down, Update
First; an introduction; Mum’s dogs joined us in the garden this evening. They are rescue dogs, unknown parentage. The white one is Marley (a boy) and the black one is a girl; Amber. Marley rules my mother with a paw of iron, but he’s a sweetie. Amber is the sweetest kissiest girl I’ve ever met.…

Blogger Recognition Award
I said I wasn’t forwarding them because it was all getting a bit much (details), I am not churlish enough to not do them myself. That is where I draw the line, I make absolutely no judgement on others, it is an arbitrary line really, this just feels right for me. Besides I was nominated…

Agoraphobia. Part 6 The End
Part 1 Part 5 Unfortunately it is difficult to push the little fledglings out if we won’t leave ourselves. So, frankly, I am being forced into the horrible, ‘real’ world for the sake of my kids. I hate maternal instinct. And please realise I know that I am doing all this…

Agoraphobia. Part 5

Agoraphobia. Part 4
Part 1 Part 3 Not that I’m any better! Left alone I sometimes feel I need a shower about half the time I fall; only when I’m alone, I seem to have a lemming (actually the lemming thing is a myth) instinct and am inexplicably drawn to the shower when I am…

I make complicated plans; based on a broad knowledge and intelligent reasoning, I have the skills to do many things extremely well. But I never get anywhere. I can’t get…

How I Started To Write
I’ve always wanted to write. And at about 9 years old I wrote something that was considered amazing by teachers etc, I was identified as gifted. For the rest of my school career I usually wrote at an above average level with occasional flashes of brilliance. But I could never write at any length. If…

Sorry and Hurrah!
I’m sorry if I normally read your posts, I am delayed not uninterested. My two youngest where in their school’s play. A two hour extravaganza after 6 months rehearsal. 2 nights and I did refreshments for the P&F A (with lots of help). It was fantastic! But back to sorry, I tried to catch…

Dyslexic Daughter upDate
In my normal style of dealing with anything I have acquired books about my daughter’s 2 new conditions. I can’t read them yet. When I find a subject stressful I find when I try to read about it the words swim & hurt my head (more than usual). I often read by mentally spiraling the…

Good…Bad… Well News Anyway
I have just returned from the psychologist with my youngest’s diagnosis. Now she was diagnosed 6 years ago with Autism but they are now pretty sure she also has dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. Good news? Well we know now and there are things that can be done about it. She’s even smarter than…
