Ditch flab get fab - my journey to a new me!

Well, I didn't think I'd be doing another diary blog for autismmumma.com from this site, but here I am.

It was back for (ooh, let me see) 6 hours or so and now it's down again. It figures, we haven't had the best of days here..

Whether it's the fact that there was a lot of emotional build up for both T and D for his birthday yesterday, or that they both had the Monday morning feeling on a Tuesday, either way this morning was extremely challenging. The piece de resistance would seem to be D growling and totally resisting any efforts to get ready for school. T was very agitated by the time we left too and then, we found we couldn't go our usual way because there was police ticker tape cordoning it all off (no idea what happened). That change to routine and route upset T and so it was two quite emotionally-challenged children who were dropped off at their separate schools.

And it was a very cuddly D I collected first this afternoon, she seemed very happy to see me and literally could not stop hugging me, she'd be walking along beside me crushing my ribs. It was a relief when she tired and asked to go in the buggy.

T was still agitated when we met him and they seem to have spent the time after school deliberating annoying each other, despite the fact that both were seperately engaged in their own activities. They would still manage to say things that they knew would upset the other and deliberately knock into each other. A distinct lack of empathy.

T has answered every question with either a grunt or an eye roll and really quite unco-operative. Today, in part, may also be due to the fact that his football magazines are delayed (lightbulb moment) or that it is an aftermath from yesterday.

Either way, tomorrow is a new day and hopefully it will be a better one, we will be halfway through the week after all.

I hope everyone's day has gone well, comments/RTs/shares as ever welcomed, thanks for reading Jx 😘
