When you think it can’t get worse… it does.

Blah blah blah teenage daughter drama blah blah blah work are fucking arsehole motherfuckers blah blah blah Achilles hurting like a bastard blah blah blah not enough money blah blah blah car is broken blah blah blah Boo broke his arm.

Boo broke his arm.

5 hours in casualty and my boy has his arm in a cast from shoulder to wrist.

He is drugged to the eyeballs and crying in pain and I cannot do a thing to help him.

He ran into a wall at school FACE FIRST and is sporting a black eye, bruised and battered check and the aforementioned cast.

Fuck.

He thinks he can take the cast off tomorrow. He has no concept of 6-8 weeks.

Right now he is passed out in the middle of my bed and all I want to do is wrap him in my arms and make it all better.

Fuck this shit.

{sorry about the last post freaking you all out, that was posted BEFORE the work shit and my boy shattering his arm. So you can imagine how fucking stressed outta my motherfucking mind I am NOW.

And I ate all the cookie dough. It didn’t help but it sure was delicious}

Pound.

http://magnetoboldtoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/the-scream2.jpg

That is all I can hear.
A pound pound pounding in my ears.
I can feel my heart beat.
I sit, perfectly still and try and see if I can see my heart pounding out of my chest.
And I am surprised to find that I cannot.
I feel it in my head. My eyes. My legs. Rushing through my [...]

Jamie Oliver and a crack in my radiator may have just saved my sons life.

Friday last week Boo was home sick, we whiled away the day watching whatever came on Channel 10 because OF COURSE that was the day that the remote would lose its shit and decide to not work and because MPS being a man with an electronics obsession had hooked the tv up through four hundred [...]

insert witty title here

Boo has been sleeping.
So OF COURSE that means that I haven’t.
I don’t know why, I just toss and turn and flip the pillow and throw off the covers and then wrap myself in a cocoon of deliciousness and then toss a little more.
And stare at the clock.
My body is pleading with my brain and my [...]

Choose your words carefully, as the universe is listening.

After a restless nights sleep – the kind where you get into bed, realise that you have to be up mere hours later and then spend the rest of the night tossing and turning screaming at your brain to go to fucking sleep already because you have to be up in 5 hours/3 hours/2 hours/45 [...]

The Rant. Alternate title: Boo and the high school issue.

http://magnetoboldtoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Boo-conversation2.jpg

First, my lovelies, I must backtrack and give a little background information.
Boo has many diagnosis’s. Autism, as you are already aware and Hyperlexia (which you would KNOW if you were a proper little stalker reading my about page) being the most significant.
Autism with a CARS score of 42. Which is kinda bad. The ‘take him [...]

I believe it is called Stockholm Syndrome.

Today I drove back from a neighbouring town in the rain with the windscreen wipers off.
Because they made a squeaking sound.
And Boo doesn’t like squeaking sounds.
Boo loses his freaking MIND when there is a squeaking sound.
However, I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR and Boo was miles away in a warm classroom.
I was just PRACTISING driving [...]

Freaking out just a little. Today I get a glimpse into the future. Maybe.

Today I sent off two family members to high school and university.
Yeah whatever, you say, don’t you do that EVERY DAMN DAY?
Technically yes.
NORMALLY, I send MPS off to work in the IT department at a higher education institution and send Too off to high school to mock and practice her eye rolling while taking note [...]

On the coldest day in YEARS they turn off my gas. Motherfuckers.

This morning I woke to a nice warm house.
Ahhhh, central heating how I love thee.
While I was standing barefoot sipping a cup of steaming latte I glanced outside to see the entire yard covered in ice. A white blanket of brrrrrrr.
Ahhhhh, central heating.
Into the car with the heating turned up to

I got everyone where they [...]

Of broken blogs, cakes that kill, ninja, pirates and a sexy man wearing a towel and an eyepatch.

No doubt you have seen my last post where I told the tale of awesome skillz and dexterity that brought a sad little hacker to his bony little knees and I emerged triumphant after an inconvenience more inconvenienceable than finding a large blind pimple on your arse just minutes before boarding a bus for a [...]
