Bank Holiday Weekend

Well, here we are near the end of the holidays again YAY! School uniform just about sorted and kids fed up with being at home.

Tomorrow we're meeting with some of our Special Kids friends and on Monday are hoping that another family will have time to call in for coffee one their way home from a weekend away. :D

Another up and down week, council housing officer with one brain cell screwed up again and I'm waiting on a reply to an email sent to her yesterday and then forwarded to her boss.

E is going to see the genetics people next week to discuss blood test to rule out her having the genetic deletion that R has. On paper she has a 50% chance of having it as the girls dad has it but as she shows no signs it's not that likely but still possible. Would rather know definately before she gets older and may want kids of her own.

I've spent a lot of time this week sorting out piled up boxes of stuff from our room. It's the general dumping ground for everything that gets moved from other rooms when I decide to clear out things. I am officially a slob but I don't care, there are far more important things than dust and a tidy house. I filled the sink to wash up, it's still full but I'll get it done before the water gets too cold. Should have got the dirty washing off the landing and put a load in the machine but I'll do that later too. I'm sure I've got another few days before we start to run out of clothes, must do some ironing though, I'm wearing my last clean and ironed tshirt today.

I always find this an emotional time of year. A week at camp with lots of other families of kids with special needs is a surreal but wonderful experience. Then it's home to get back to daily life and I miss so many people that I won't see before next year or even the one after. Makes me appreciate those close to me more as well, confusing, emotionial yet happy, and more confusion.
