Rantings of a stressed working mum

Hello lovelies,  You know when you just have one of THOSE days? yup that's me! Trying my best not to pull my hair out right now! Things always have to happen all at once. Why things? Why? Why do you do this things? Stop it! So parents evening, the short and long of it is this. DD's teacher doesn't seem to believe dyspraxia is a real thing. She didn't say as much but her tone said it all. Apparently DD is going to fail her SAT's due to her handwriting... I would like to point out she is also left handed and for some unknown bloody reason the school make the kids write in cursive (Joined up writing not writing a load of curse words on the paper!). I for one think if a child is struggling to write they should not be encouraged to write in a style that makes their writing even more illegible, but i'm not the governing body... I don't like that teacher just saying. I still cannot get through to those lovely people at UC, I think its because before they...

Ok so Been really busy recently due to working two jobs but November is going to mark a new beginning. He's leaving. Yes I'm upset but things happen and I can't change it. However it means I will have to let go of my 2nd job and try and contact those lovely people at UC.... But then I have so much to look forward to! Halloween, bonfire night, carnival.

Also it means when I leave my house after cleaning it, it will be clean when I return! Unless of course the cats resume having wild catnip filled parties whilst I'm out! Here's to change! Much loves xxxx

It's been a while I know. Tonight I watched the season premiere of Thirteen. I loved it. Not because it was the 1st female doctor, but because of something close to my heart. One of the characters, Ryan. We are told from the start Ryan who I am assuming is in his early 20s cannot ride a bike without stabilisers due to being dyspraxic. THANK YOU BBC for addressing this. My DD is dyspraxic, when I tell people this they automatically assume she's dyslexic or something else. She is not. Academically she is really good, although some dyspraxic children do suffer with dyslexia etc. My DD luckily does not. However she does have a habit of figgiting a lot due to it, and getting told off for such behaviour because her teacher doesn't know/ understand dyspraxica. She also sucks at sport. It's a coordination issue she can't help it. She also processes information a bit differently to others her age and can also be quite literal. However her teacher this year (final year in...
