I am exhausted! I spent the afternoon at the mall (during school holidays - ugh!) buying some last-minute gifts for the kids' birthday on Sunday. I am pretty set now, except for making their cake and getting ready for the lunch that we are having.
We've had a pretty chill week. It's school holidays, so a lot of our activities have been cancelled. Carmie went to an afternoon girls' hangout which she loved. They are a group of friends now, and they were surprised to hear that she is turning 12 on Sunday. They thought she was older, I guess because she is so tall and speaks like a little professor sometimes. They seem to be a nice group of girls, all neurodivergent.
Arley surprised me by opting to go to a fishing group that Clint was holding, with a bunch of other kids, and he even let our support worker, Savannah, take him on his own. There was no hesitation, which blows my mind! However, after 15 minutes of no bites, he decided to pack it up and asked Savannah to bring him home again. Haha, so not a real win, but a win all the same!
On Monday I took Carmie to her friend Ada's house for a play for an hour before her physio. It was a test run, and it went well, the girls got along great! Afterwards Carmie met her new physio, and he gave her new exercises to do. The kids went to their chiropractor this morning. Other than that, we have been real homebodies this week. I have been painting and loving it. I've also been sleeping 9-10 hours a night, with Jeff having to wake me and drag me out of bed in the mornings. I think I'm making up for weeks of not sleeping from being sick. I still feel tired in the day, and even now I'm sleepy. This parenting business takes it out of you!
