Totally stuck...

I have to admit that this week I am totally uninspired. I think I am in a rut. A cranky, tired, sore nose, sneezing rut.

I have so much but so little to say this week and as much as I don’t really have a deadline to  my writing my new dedication of an article a week for my blog is totally out the window only two weeks in. EPIC FAIL.

So this weekend was much better than the last one – no meltdown in the street with shop owners checking the security out the front of their premises, so that was a win. Visit to kmart happened – so that was a win. Built a chair from kmart and only had one screw left over so that really was a big win.

Found myself out to dinner and the movies on Saturday night – so again feel like I am winning. Dinner was great, good company and I have to say I definitely don’t think that Bad Moms 2 deserves the bad reviews because I thought it was hilarious.  I thoroughly enjoyed my night out. Except for a random voice message from my mum but that really is a long story or potential blog post.

Lunch on Sunday was great and watched my son play indoor soccer. Feeling like a broken record of good, great, winning.

So why the rut?

Thinking it might be school stress but sometimes I think that is cope out- an easy way to explain the feelings of grey. I really do think I am getting sick, but that again is an easy out.

I have noises in my head the last few days and it’s getting to be an overwhelming feeling of grey – I like that – just grey, no colours.

So I will end this here – I am trying to lift the game this week. Especially as my little ASDer is on fire – he really and truly is doing great! So I’m hoping to jump up and meet him there.


If you are still with me  - let me know what colours are popping for you this week!

Professional Development day...

Super excited to be off to the city today for a school PD. I'm going to be participating in a workshop on creative writing which I think will be awesome!  I have started a program at my school called Word Vomit where we are encouraging the students to write down whatever they think and then concentrate on making it better.  The biggest challenge for kids today is the art of drafting and not getting it perfect the first time. I have so many students who are afraid to write as they can't get started because they don't have the perfect opening line. This concept of having to be perfect I think comes from the use of technology. I think we have always felt that the 'typed' version is the final version. As such students don't edit or rewrite what they have already typed.  I have tried to implement the rule that nobody gets an iPad until they have written a draft. Most of the time it works- some of the time I end up with an argument!! Students will maintain

Breakfast and a show...

I now know that the problem was that I said it out loud. I said it to my friends. I said it to my husband, I even said it to his teacher. I now know better. Never say it out loud.   "He's having a really good week."   And he really had been. My little ASDer had been happy, cheerful and compliant. Excited to go to school and doing extra homework he was ever a delight.    Saturday came and under the illusion of this wonderful behaviour, I didn't hesitat e to take my child to a boxing class at the beach. He was great! This streak was continuing so off to breakfast I suggested to a friend.    Fate and luck had run out.    He chose the wrong food.    He didn't like the toys that were there.   He was bored.    So after his chocolate milkshake was consumed and he ate the discovered gingerbread that marginally saved breakfast- it was time to go. Suddenly instead of being the rational human he usually is - impatient but still considerat

Having a moment...

Image
I'm sitting in a cafe, sipping my coffee, waiting for my pasta having a mummy moment! I'm enjoying the quiet, the time to my self and mostly not having to tell someone to sit down!! I thinks it's important and we say it time and time again, to have a moment! School is hectic this time of year- reports, celebration assembly, graduation and this crazy notion I develop that sleep is for the weak and I can do it all! Throw in my son's birthday, family visits, Christmas parties and general chaos and life feels very stretched at times. On top of everything I'm having a much needed hernia operation done at the end of the month and I'm petrified!  So I'm going to enjoy this moment- I hope you find one to enjoy too!
