I'm feeling fresh as a daisy lol @Captain24 . I've got one stressful thing going on but I hope to have it managed my 'other' people soon.
And yes! I need to recuperate after socialising! I've got a wedding to go to soon too... another day of socialising lol. I think the wedding is in August.
Glad you had a nap too.
The kiddos have just come home. I hear the little one SCREAMING from my house. I'm going to duck other there. I'll be back in a sec.
And poor Pix! If it's not Jett, it's Pix. Do you have pet insurance? Such a worry when you beloved family members are sick...

LOL @Captain24 . I've just seen her.
She tied a scarf over her eyes like a blind fold and nearly walked into a door so my sister took the 'blind fold' off.. so she screamed the street down when coming home.
When I went upstairs, she started singing, "Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down...medicine go down...medicine go down."

Also, do you know what spoonerisms are? She's been saying a lot lately. It's so funny @Captain24
A few days ago, she asked my sister "Why are you wearing a demin (denim) skirt?"
Then yesterday, she said, "Can I watch an esipode (episode)?"
It's so funny to hear.

Want to talk about it? I’m here for you too @tyme
Oh a wedding is a lot so much interaction. At least you have time to prepare. Lots of self talk!!! I’m getting better at that!
Maybe she is tired. She has had a big day. Maybe she has ADHD. One of the questions mum had to answer was whether I use to chuck tantrums. That was a clear yes!!
No I don’t have pet insurance. I need to look into it. They will both need more surgery. She’s feeling better now. Her tail is up and her head is up and her eyes are shining again.
When I went out to go grocery shopping my bin was still out the front. I haven’t left the house since I got home on Monday morning! I didn’t even notice as I’ve been doing stuff. I’m definitely feeling better, usually I’m desperate to not leave the house and struggle with the fact that I can’t leave. This time I was too busy to notice!

I just responded at the same time! @tyme
I actually have a friend that talks that way as an adult!
Mum always says pacific instead of specific.

Hahahaha @Captain24 .
Kids. I don't feel the little one has ADHD. The middle one has issues with expressive language and gets frustrated because he can't get things out (he's a thinker and a perfectionist). As for the eldest? She's a worry!
My sister bought her some really expensive natural remedies to try and help her cognition (she's done all the research) e.g. fish oil etc... yesterday, my sister was so funny. She said to my eldest niece, "Oh! The tablets must be working! You followed a two step instruction!" (jokingly). My niece screwed up her face. It was just so funny to watch.
I'm so so glad you are feeling somewhat better. When you were first 'feeling better', I was concerned as to whether it was the beginning of a manic episode, but it doesn't seem so which is good.
Hopefully this is a turn around! You totally deserve it!

I’m glad I get to ‘watch’ them grow up. @tyme.
Shes just expressive then.. I use to have trouble expressing myself. I had trouble being able to find the right words.
If fish oil is helping then that is awesome. I love that she could follow 2 steps. That can be a lot. I kinda hear the last step and miss the first ones.
I have moments of wondering where it’s headed too. I’m really lucky that I have sleep meds or maybe it might be a different story if I wasn’t sleeping properly. I am waking up refreshed though with a little less sleep than normal. I’m not sleeping until 9 anymore.
I really hope it’s a turn around but I’m really trying to do the work to be able to help myself when I go backwards again and hopefully it won’t be so severe.
Im working really hard.

Hey @Captain24 , I just saw the photo of Jett from last night! Cute as in his little jumper!

That's soooo amazing to hear about this turning point @Captain24 . Well maybe the universe knows about the admission and that perhaps you didn't need it? That's how I tend to see it. I'm mindful you may see it differently.
I feel like skipping and celebrating with you. I know how damn hard you are working to get to where you are at the moment!
And yes, you get to 'see' these munchkins follow 2 step instructions lol. The eldest is ON MY BED at the moment... again. She's reading.
I can't wait til school starts so I have an excuse to kick her out. My heart won't let me say no to her.

I’m really hoping it’s a turning point @tyme I need it. 2 weeks ago I wasn’t well enough to do the course I wanted and now I feel I don’t need the admission. I would still have liked to do the course though as I would have gotten sooo much out of it. But yes it’s the universe for you.
It’s hard work to hold it and maintain it. I noticed myself talking to myself without realising. I am tired from the effort. That’s why I’ve been doing Lego. A distraction and a rest
School goes back next week doesn’t it. It’ll be nice to have your own bed back.
Yeah Jett is a bit cute. He was sleeping with his head on the bone so Pix couldn’t get it!
