Gawd!! Looks like I've to choose between being kept awake cause it's too hot, or being kept awake cause the neighbours have visitors out the back and are being loud
Have the window closed cause of them and i'm melting
Open the window, and grab your iPod or some earplugs
I sleep most nights with my iPod on because himself snores so loudly

I sleep most nights with my iPod on because himself snores so loudlyIt's too warm but I can't keep the window open. Daddy long legs keep getting in and scaring me. The only noises I can hear are my dads pond, cows mooing and that's about it.
I've told ye...sleep nekkid. It's the only way, especially with the weather the way it is.
Or sleep nekkid with an iPod. :cool:Wrecked!! Pain is very wearisome, heading into day 5 of serious pain. Off to the gp tomorrow, nothing she can do but I want it recorded.
Hope you get some form of relief soon. Poor you.

That's not very fair You have to have closure like. Sorry Eso
I'll be lucky if I last till 6 o clock without passing out in work. Then i've to get into my lighting hot car with no air conditioning and drive an hour home. All I want to do is jump into the sea!0 -
Back for a bit! We did a house swap. My granny is currently staying with my mother while I stay in my grandmother's house for a few weeks with my batty aunt. She only has a laptop and it's a pain in the hole to type on so I've been largely absent from Boards for a while.
That said, I have ready access to Sky+ so I'm enjoying my 2 weeks of Cake Boss and Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo.
Yay! Trashy tv! Anyhoo, how are ye all doing? The sunshine is GORGEOUS. I've gotten a tan for the first time in about 10 years and my mood is boasted by the exposure to Vitamin D. Good stuff. 0 -

It was tough getting my diagnosis at the age of 21, Binxeo but it's good that your son is getting seen to at a young age. That way, you can be more proactive about his school development. When I was growing up, people just thought I was a weirdo because my behavioral patterns were different to the average neurotypical girl but since I've been diagnosed, people have been so much more understanding.Sorry about your grandad Eso, its a shame you dont get to say goodbye.
Wow what a gloriously sunny day, I could so get used to this. Enjoyed as much of the sun as I could today, we had a meeting with Thomas's psychologist today, for those of you that dont know he was diagnoised with Aspergers Syndrome two weeks ago. Today was tough, we had to go through the psych report. I swear our psychologist wont settle till he makes me cry. Ended up in tears in his office, in fairness I have been holding all the emotion in, so he was probably right to push me to the edge, I think I needed to let go. Its a lot tougher to come to terms with then I thought.
If you ever need to chat about Aspergers and how it affects one's life, I'm open to PM chats. I'm no expert but I've done a decent bit of research since my diagnosis and hey, I've lived with it for the majority of my life. Hope your son gets all the care he needs. 0 -

Hey, ah thanks for the offer, Im might take you up on that. Im just scared for whats ahead for thomas. He is only 7 now so we got it quiet early which is good. His doc says he has a good chance of improvement. He is finding his emotions really difficult right now.0 -

The ice cream man just drove past my house. Is he not a bit late???
Yeah, ridiculous how late some of these lads go around!! Do they not realise young kids have a bedtime??? :rolleyes: The guy that comes around here used to park right opposite my house with his jingle going full blast for ages...I say he USED to!!!
On another note, started back training properly today. My goal is the Hell & Back on November 3rd that Marty told me about. Feck it, I haven't done a whole lot since my accident last September, have to get the finger out and get stuck in. So did a 5k today (http://runkeeper.com/activity?userId=21186068&trip=205922507) and then the sledgehammer and tractor tyre got some abuse!! :cool:0 -

It's getting annoying! I don't understand why he's going around so late!
Sounds good! I'm trying to really watch what I eat at the mo cos I can't do any physical exercise at all. I can barely walk! I cannot wait to be able to go out for a run, just for the sake of being able to run!0 -

Glad to hear you will get to see your grandad and say goodbye Lyn. Don't try to hold it together, grieve for your loss.
Oh yeah, I'll be crying all day tomorrow and the day after, it's just tonight I'm trying to hold it together cause my sisters and aunts are all in bits. I've never seen a body laid out before, I hope I don't react badly but I think I need to go see him. Welling up just writing this tbh 0 -

It's strange, you can't really predict how you will react, but it isn't easy. Bring lots of tissues, a bottle of water and remember to breathe lots. You forget that. You have your family around you and that's all that matters right now. xx0 -

PKM to reply to your comment in the other thread...it was amazing!! The second my butt hit the ground (with speed I might add...poor butt) I wanted to go straight back up. It was the best experience of my life
Yeah, looks class. I was the same with a bungee jump I did in Slovakia in the Tatras mountains. Just wanted to go again!! So we have another adrenaline junkee in our midst!!

Lyn, that's great to hear you can see your grandad.
I assume it's a wake you're attending at your Grans? They're commonplace this end of the country, I find them the only way to really let go and grieve a loss. While I commend you "hanging in there" around your aunts, don't deny yourself the chance to shed tears whilst there. I regretted not having done so at my friends wake years ago and it took much longer in letting her go. If you want a random shoulder, mine has held a fair few heavy hearts xx
In other news, I got sun burnt!! Absolutely disgusted with myself for letting it happen. Was studying outside and sat down before applying the sun screen. Very raw red arm and leg!! Stupid stupid!!
Delighted though in my results for my Award. Was only 1% off a distinction so asked for a re-grade of all my work. Got my distinction as well as a new cert stating as such. I was also told that I was the highest overal grade so far in the course, meaning I'm the ONLY one with a distinction
Onto the two specialist topics now. You shall all know me as the amazing canine whisperer one day yet :pac:0 -

Forgot to add, sorry to hear of your worries binxeo, but it sounds like you've got a great therapist. These days disorders/syndromes aren't as taboo as they used to be. And there is just so much more information at your fingertips that you can research it and ask all the questions you need at the doctors/therapists. Not like before where anything regarding any unfamiliar behaviours were all bunched together and nothing got resolved.
Kids are resilient creatures. Now you know what you're dealing with and how best to go forward regarding his development. Keep your chin up and best foot forward, I'm sure he'll help show you the right direction 0 -
Congrats on the results, sounds very good!! Smarty pants!
I agree with the taking time to mourn now, it's tougher later.
I did not get sunburnt today as I was last outside on Saturday and that was walking into Aldi from the car and back to it.0 -

PKM used to be like that....not so much anymore...us women arent as crazy as you may think.
;-)
Thanks folks. Ah we will be grand with the little man in time, its just a major adjustment, but we are getting great help and support fron the health services dealing with him, they are good dwn this end of the country, resources arent as streched as in the major urban areas. His assessment only took 6mths exactly, I know in Navan its between 18mths and 2yrs just for a diagnosis. Our pysch is really great and very helpful and willing to make any and all resources available to us. Its a long and challenging road ahead but its growth for everyone so it has to be good.0 -
