Maz - holidays suck! We are on week two and I'm over it! Yesterday he won't even go to OT everything is so out of wack. I hope Vy and Mateauz are back to their selves soon so you can have a bit more peace and that Wilhelm settles for you! DS seems a lot calmer since we got a letter with his new teacher etc, has put his mind at ease a little but the last week of school and first week of hols were the worst! Wish I could give you a hand!
Christy - I'm pleased the day planner is working, which reminds me I have to get ours fixed up, that might help me from tearing my hair out
Also we were told by his teachers that he has been getting on really week with this kid at school and I saw them at a birthday party the other day (BTW have I mentioned how much I hate B'day parties - that's a whole other story) anyway they did get along well, talking about pokemon and acting it out! woohoo I thought and grabbed this kids number. Anyway organised to have a play date - what a disaster. Xander ended up miserable because this child wouldn't stick to his script and then there was the competitiveness - it was almost as if this child could perceive his weakness and just played on it. IYKWIM. I don't know why I bother it always ends badly :-(
Also DS is sick but it is so hard to know what's wrong as he can't pinpoint where the problem is. He won't eat and says his tongue is sore - his throat looks fine? And now he has a sore leg? From his hip to his ankle? It doesn't seem to be muscular as if I poke him he doesn't flinche - just hurts to move and walk on??? I don't know what to do?
Man I wonder if the world understood that when we mean "I need a break" that is exactly what we need. A full break from everything. I wish it were cheaper.
I found a siblings camp for siblings of Aspergers/Autism which has a big camp just for them. I was thinking... there should be a "Mummy weekend" for Mothers of Super Kids.
I would miss my girls something fierce, but I would also get some time to destress.
Sarah - we use incremin, a liquid iron supplimetn for when WIlhelms doesnt eat...works great and I know atleast he's got osmething in him when he's down and out. I hate 'friends' of our kids that do that. Poor Xander..maybe next tiem he has a play date get the play dough out and supervise them playing so you can calmly interact when they have 'off' moments.
Christy - I so hear you babe.....I need a break really bad..Im so nervous and jumpy atm. We saw those camps down here but they cost almost $2000 which is something we jsut cant afford. We've never been on a family holiday so I have bitten the bullet and told jed next september we're going to QLD. We are having so many issues with accomidation! GOD!!! glad Ive started organising now. Cant FLy up cause Wilhelm would freak out about the pressure and the closeness to strangers in a plane...also atleast he'd be familiar in a strange place with our car. Need accomadation so I can cook his meals and have a room that is secure so he doesnt let him self out.....god!!!! Ive been headbutting walls. Jed's dad is looking into timeshare for us up there cause they have unit or little house type accomadation which is perfect for us. Ive gotten onto some of the netwrok down here to ask for some help towards funding for it. I never ask for help, not even respite and my case worker said I should for once...why not but it feels funny asking for a hand out...just not me normally.
AND we had a wet bed AGAIN last night!! nappy to night for someone he's going to go OFF!
Where in QLD? I can help you find somewhere. And Saram is there but may be back on that side of things
We stayed at a place at Coffs Harbour.... Tropic Oasis. Which was fantastic. Not QLD but good. There were pools and a lagoon to row little boats in, sandboxes, self accomodation so like little cabins. Walking distance to the beach... noice.... That was on our way down from Brissy.
We're looking near the theme parks cause Wilhelm is movie and Director made and NIkolaus loves sea animals so we'd like to go to Sea World and Movie world.
So somewere within 1/2 an hour near that would be ace
Some caravan parks have cabins you can stay in? Not 5 star accomodation, but you can get one with 2 rooms and some space between you & neighbours.
There is one in Daisy Hill that is beautiful, and its around 30 minutes to Movie World and Sea World. It has a giant koala sanctuary close by that is beautiful to have picnics in.
that sound perfect!!!! will google it tonight when the kids are in bed...I dont want them getting to excited about it. thanks so much babe..your a friggen gem!
nappy to night for someone 
he's going to go OFF!
