My First Time........................

Blogging that is, my first blog.

Well haven't a clue where to start, the beginning would be too far away and take me a year to write, lol, so how about this week? Well the week started really well, considering we've been invaded by some lurgy and all come down ill. Soph's been hit hardest and is still ill, chesty, grumpy and generally being a pain in the arse with it at all times, I know she's in the Klingon phase, but now she's a moaning Klingon that just won't stop crying if anyone come near me.

We had a letter at last from Education giving El a placement at Oaklands Primary, so roll on school for her, we've only waited 9 months for them to sort themselves out since we pulled her out of her last useless school that shall remain nameless. She'll be in mainstream, but will have special supported classes, so just have to get her statemented now which is going to be another fight I think looking at the way this authority run things which is pathetic to say the least. We can't wait for her to start though, what a relief it was to get that letter!!!!! She'll finally be in school, mixing with children, learning, playing and having fun, well........... I hope all that happens because I don't want another fight on my hands with another school.

We've had SaLT this week too, where El was finally reassessed ready for school, she came out at 3 years and 9 months for her speech and understanding when she's 4 years and 9 months, so to us a significant delay that needs therapy, whether or not we get it is another thing, we waited over 12 months for 5 block therapy sessions that have been useless as they haven't listened to us. We will wait and see and live in hope hey!!!

Had my second driving lesson this week, 2 hours of driving through small Welsh towns and up carriage ways, over mountains and around roundabouts, lol. Getting much better though and improving according to the instructor, didn't do too many cock ups and did my hill starts perfectly, just have to crack on with my theory now which I'm being tested on next week, eeekkk!!!! Is the world ready for this crazy Welsh mother on the streets in control of a car!!?? lmao.

Today: -
As of 7am this morning when El crawled into our bed I could tell she had come down ill through the night. I knew straight away she was off colour just by her smell, why is a mothers instinct so spot on? I just knew, I could tell from this strange odour she gives off, it's like a sweet sickly smell, she always gets it when she's ill and always has, strange that!! So I can see another 4-5 days of her being ill with high temps and us being quarantined, the girls and I are having PJ days then by the looks of it, no problem there I can do them, I'd say I was an expert by now.

Matt, the hubs, is having half day today and working nearer home doing police HQ's closer to us than the main HQ where he's usually based, which means he'll be home mega early today if nothing goes wrong that is. Don't know what we're doing tonight, he's not going out because of the Rugby tomorrow and it being an all day event, so perhaps we'll have yet another take out or I may be the good little house wife and actually cook tonight.
