2 Boys and A Mum

My baby has been invited to attend Canada in 2019 for athletics.  Such an exciting opportunity for him . Now I just have to work my arse off and fundraise my arse off to get him there ... having a child with ASD is amazing. Seb is high functioning and his special interest is sport and athletics is his thing. he hopes to compete at the Olympics one day. He makes me so proud and is so inspiring.  if anyone has any fundraising ideas let me know. I’m after some things that are adult friendly and also kid friendly.. I have posted the link to his go fund me page below if you would like to share it or make a contribution that would be awesome .... If your on Instagram you can follow his page ...  sebssportsdream is his account ... https://www.gofundme.com/athletics-in-canada-2019?pc=ot_co_dashboard_a&rcid=2f3377b34b2543a89763449d9f4208d3

Sleep is the most over rated but necessary thing in our lives. I have been working in the psychology field for the past 2 years and man I have learnt lots from the Psych’s.....  I have currently had a total of 2 hours sleep since 9pm and it’s now 3.30am AEST... and I am wide awake....  I had a cortisone injection in my back today and wondering if that is why I can’t sleep, but in saying that my sleep isn’t crash hot on the best of days !!!  So before I had my injection I was in at work and one of the Psych’s and I were doing some research on why people eat during the night.. My ASD son is one of these peoples.... also is his father (un diagnosed ASD also ) we came across the following article which was very helpful and explained why this occurs. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-antidepressant-diet/201408/finally-explanation-night-eating An extract from the article   A hormone, secreted by the stomach, but acting on the  brain , may be...

why don’t you like Christmas ? I get asked all the time..... there are so many reasons... but you have children..... so just because I have Children  doesn’t mean I have to like Christmas.. anyone else in the same boat?  I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s just another commercialised, money wasting day... seriously I don’t think In BC they were putting up Xmas trees and wrapping presents and shopping like it’s the last day on earth ... Ohhhhh and then ..... you have the keeping up with the jones families who go into huge debt just so that their children have the latest and bestest of what’s on the market.. I think it’s more important to spend time with your  family and friends and make memories all year round not just on one day... I am excited this year that the boys and I are going camping for a few days from Boxing Day which I am looking forward to... just getting away testing out the new camper trailer and spending time with my dad and his wife...

Many a times I have blogged and many times I have stopped. I find writing therauptic but I never make the time to do it. For my mental health I need it. I am going to make more of an effort. The amount of questions and statements and thoughts that go through my brain need to be extinguished from my mind and no better way than blogging them. Life is busy. Two boys aged 13 and 6, I work full time, I study and  the boys have after school activities every other night. So much to talk about not sure where to begin.. verbal diarrhea may be activated at times. I just want somewhere I can talk about mental health, my children , my family, my studies, my work, general chit chat you know.. and everything in between.... For now this will be enough..
