MY WORD OF THE WEEK.
Change
Over the weekend we were still moving things around and getting the living room back together, it’s all done now. I wanted to change things around a bit more, but it didn’t work out too well, so it’s not really that different furniture wise, but it does look less cluttered. It’s also a lot lighter and brighter.
This week has been a bit mixed. I started a new venture last week, so instead of working on my blog I’ve been working on my Avon promotion. (gratuitus link to my Avon Shop.) To be fair it’s not that much of a change, but it’s a different direction.
We took the Little Man to see a pyschologist on Tuesday. He is my third child to have an autism diagnosis. Having been through so much already it’s not so much of a change doing it all again with the Little Man but it does mean my thoughts on the future are changed. I really thought the two youngest were going to be okay. I guess we all worry about the future of our children, but when they have issues like Autism it makes those worries a little different. My biggest worry is that I won’t be here to help him through his most difficult years.
Things have changed for autistic children though. I had some real school issues with my eldest son, but Star has done so much better. Some schools are a lot more understanding these days and that’s a change for the good.
Holidays
Today is the last day of school so it’s all change for the next few weeks. I have worked out a timetable with the kids so that they know already they are not going to be glued to their laptops, tablets and phones for hours on end. Usually at weekends the screen take over a lot, but I’m not going to let that happen during the school holiday.
We’ve also had a bit of a change in the weather, and my hopes are that it changes back again very soon. Although the rain was needed for the garden, I don’t want it spoiling our holiday.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Exciting to have a new venture on the go. I hope it goes brilliantly. I can imagine that it is difficult to look to the future for your youngest. You have such a loving family, that I’m sure that they will be there for each other, whatever the years bring. Liking your idea of a holiday timetable. I should do one for my lot. Still have a couple of days to go. Thank you for hosting and I hope you have a good week.
Change is usually exciting – sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Your new Avon venture sounds exciting! Good luck with your new endeavor. I used to have to limit screen time for my kids when they were on summer break too. My rule was “no screens between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.” They somehow survived!
It sounds like you have a lot of changes happening.
I’m glad you have got the living room finished.
Good luck with the Avon work!
It must be really hard to think about what will happen to your children if you are not here. I hope your son’s school is being understanding and supportive.
Have a fab summer! We have had rain today, I can’t complain. It’s the first rubbish day we’ve had in over 3 weeks!
It sounds exiting with the new adventure. I hope your son gets the support he needs. When I myself was diagnosed may years ago it was completely different. Hardly a gone k ew wbat autism was. I defiantly think awareness is getting their. I love a timetable it keeps me sane lol X #wotw
Aw I am so sorry Anne, it must be a tough diagnosis to deal with he is so lucky you know your stuff and can get him the best support. I am the same as you I faff when we do a room until I get it how I like it, and I agree with the schedule it really helps x
