The new doctor

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 primary) doesn't seem to care....

I am so happy that this condition is being made aware to everyone via one of the most popular tv programs ever! Thank you BBC!!!

Anyway DD started yr6 a few weeks back. Her new teacher doesn't seem to understand dyspraxica.... Parents evening next week. I'm taking in work sheets....

I will let you know how it goes

Much loves all xxx

    Was a very interesting start. Will see how the series goes. Production quality has again got better too, looks very polished and seems they are actully putting some decent money into it.
    Unfortunately a lot of education fails children who need a bit of understanding, hopefully shows like this will help

Changes

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. I do love this time of year. Funds are going to get so much tighter due to the upcoming Christmas holidays but I'm not going to let it hold me back. 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

Rantings of a stressed working mum

Hi there, I'm sat here in what only I can describe as a bombsite. I have just dropped DD at school and have come back as quickly as possible to feed my caffeine habit. Normally I would be at work right now but my little darlings have exams this morning so I have a free morning YAY!  So maybe I should back up a little here. This morning whilst having my 1st caffeine hit of the day and a cigarette (there's my 1st bad mum point right there) I had about 1000 things going through my head and I had no way of sorting them into some kind of understandable order. I was getting a headache and pretty sure a panic attack was on its way, but I didn't have time for that as I had a packed lunch to make and a child to remind we had to leave in 15 mins. (Again I know I should have made the lunchbox up last night ssshhhh). So on the way home I was trying to figure out how I was going to figure out what to do. Then it hit me... write it down! Even better let others see it too! That way...
