in good and bad ways. Families are an interesting dimension to life - that is all I am going to say here. Had some great stuff happen with family over the last week, had some hurtful stuff happen. Such is life. Had a fairly ordinary day yesterday (things had gotten on top of me) but got it all sorted last night. Feeling much more positive today.
Had to pick Conrad up from school at lunch time - kids can be such *&^%$#! He is getting picked on mercilessly again *sigh*. Even the ladies in the office feel sorry for him and can't understand why they just won't leave him alone. He has calmed down now, we had lunch together and he is at home watching a movie. On a positive note, it looks like the school has finally managed to organise work experience for him (this has only been ongoing for 12 months). The problem naturally is employers do not want to give him a go because he is a little different to the majority of kids - this then means his file goes in the too hard basket. (Yes I know he is not the only kid in the school, but he has the same rights as they do.) 'House of Ironbark' in Dubbo (who make the most amazing furniture) are giving him a go. We are all so excited! Conrad has a real talent for woodwork and enjoys it so this will be a positive thing for him I think. The careers advisor at the school has done really well to pull this rabbit out of the hat! It looks like being one to two mornings a week possibly for the rest of term which is fantastic! We just need to jump through the paperwork hoops and it will be a goer. Hopefully in the next week or two..........this could be such a good opportunity for him. He is really looking forward to it too.
Off to Canberra this weekend - going the the Polit Baronial Tourney on Saturday and probably to the zoo on Sunday (and whatever else we can squeeze in).
The first weekend in November is the Tourney of the Yellow Rose so I need to get that organised. Will just be the household I think (will be good to get together again - it has been ages).
I finally got my second last assignment sent off yesterday - only one more to go! Yippee!!
I have also made some personal decisions about some stuff I want to do for me. Some people probably aren't going to like those decicisions or understand them - quite frankly it is just too bad. They are not earth shattering, major or likely to change anyone's lives. It is totally personal and for personal effect only. My immediate family (i.e. my husband and my children) are aware of these things and are supportive and understanding - that is what matters the most to me. Yes, I know I am being cryptic, but I do not want to say anymore just yet. When people see some if it, they will probably go 'is that all!' but that is okay - it's a 'me' thing. One of the things I discussed with my immediate family last night was that we get so caught up with doing so many things and with so many different people we are forgetting to have time to ourselves. The weekend to Canberra is a family thing for us, and we will be making family weekends at least once a month where dare I say it? Visitors will not be welcome! LOL Even if it just means hanging out on the couch watching DVDs or working in the garden. We haven't been getting enough 'us' time and you can tell. Today is a new day and time for new plans! LOL
