What's new this week? I turned 48 on Sunday. 48! How on earth did that happen? All I wanted to do on my birthday is stay home and relax, and have no stress. Going out is very stressful for us. Jeffrey made me breakfast, I read my book outside, took some phone calls, played with the kids, hung out with Jeffrey, and had a relaxing, stress-free day. Just what I wanted!
Things have been pretty chill this week. It is still school holidays, so we haven't been out much. We don't do well with crowds! The kids had horse riding on Tuesday. Arley was very resistant to riding again, and just wanted to spend his time grooming. We did manage to get him up though. He is one tough cookie. If you give him a pass he will think he never has to do the activity again. Always re-drawing the lines.
Carmie started seeing her psychologist again, because the kids' NDIS funding came through. Her goal for the next few months is to make some new friends. She is also going to start seeing the OT again, as well as Arley's behaviour specialist. I'm trying to cram in a bunch of therapies now so that by Christmas we can have a good break, and then enjoy the rest of the summer without therapies (except horse riding). In October she will start physiotherapy, and I have two therapy assistants coming in for two hours every Friday starting mid October. They will be taking the kids out into the community so I can have a break.
I don't have much news to share this week. Arley met his new support worker who is replacing Holly today. His name is Zac, and they weren't really connecting until I said they should go play Xbox together. I think eventually they will be hooking up with Carmie and her new support worker Abby, and they will all go out together. This will be on Mondays. We are very busy - I have things scheduled every day except for the weekends.
I don't have great photos again this week. It would help if we left the house more!
