Hi All,
Sorry i havent posted, i havent had time to scratch myself, plus ive needed time to digest things with the counsellor.  Its ok to listen to him, but when i have to put it in words, i guess it means that im accepting what he is saying, which isnt a whole lot right now.  Possible ADD….possible.  I have made an appt with a paediatrition, i couldnt get in until Feb, so its a bit of a wait. 
Medication has been mentioned, something i am not so sure i am comfortable with, but at the same time, i am prepared to do anything and everything in my power to make him feel better.  At the end of the day it is what is best for my son and if that helps him, so be it.
I have been fairly frantic about what to do with the boys over the school holidays.  Me, being me leaves everything until the death knock, i call it optimism….i truly believe everything will work out in the end..lol.  Will i ever learn?
I spoke to my boss today and asked her if it would be possible to work a couple of half days a week.  My gorgeous daughter is willing to watch them 3 days a week, and if i can work 2 half days it means that i only need to worry about a couple of hours in the afternoon which works out perfectly.  Im also taking a couple of days off.  Im very fortunate to have an understanding boss.  Although she did growl because i left it so long…lol….optimism!!!!!!
I have had a couple of little urges.  Im not sure why, it doesnt matter, but that thought of $20 and an hours peace…yes, deluded i know.  I just refocus on something else and it passes.  Actually, now that i think of it, its proboably finances, with Christmas coming up, plus my siblings and i have decided to paint mums house for her 80th birthday.  Its costing us $750 each, so im sure im a little concerned.  I know i can afford it, but Dames has time off over Christmas, and im hanging on tooth and nail at the small amount of savings in our account.  I suppose if we have to spend it, we have to.  We can always make more money!!! 
So, thats me for now.  Im sure ive left out 10 things. I didnt spend near enough time as i wanted to on chat last weekend.  Seems life is just getting super busy.  I always know where to come for a dose of reality though, not to mention my lovely friends here who i think of each and every day.
Hope you are all well and happy,
Take care, Kathryn xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo live, that would be a great adventure – Peter Pan
