Autism

Dunno what to call this, what about Kelley loses her shit again..

You know that Murphy guy? Of the Murphy’s Law clan? You know how that arsehat likes to fuck with my mind?
Yeah well the bastard is back. And no amount of super waterproof 24 hour mascara is staying put right now.
The last two weeks have been amazing. I find myself grinning like [...]

My baby is at camp.

This morning dawned cold and wet.
Like me.
Get your mind outta the gutter. I was cold and my face was wet with tears.
My Boo is going to school camp today.
I composed myself and woke him with kisses and cuddles, breathing in his sweet smell (and ignoring the pee smell from the soaked nappy) and talking about [...]

…and then my brain imploded.

Sunday night. Boo has just been serenading me with rockin’ riffs on his, badly tuned but who can even notice, guitar. Totally naked, save the blanket he totes around pooling at his feet.
‘Rock on baby, rock on!’ I shout and then smother him in kisses.
‘Aww, mum! Yuk!’ he squeals.
Bedtime routine.
MPS offers to sit with [...]

So tired…

Morning, or afternoon or evening or whatever the fuck it is right now I don’t freaking care.
I am just so tired.
Not normal tired, that every-single-inch-of-my-body-is-screaming-out-in-tiredyness freaking tired.
Even my hair is tired. It is all ‘I couldn’t be bothered staying styled and what was that? We are supposed to be straight today? Sorry [...]

Childs Play.

I was standing at the sink, contemplating my navel scrubbing crusted weet-bix off a bowl that ‘Mr Nobody’ mysteriously placed in the sink, when 2 soft arms wrapped around my waist.
‘Play with me Mummy’
‘Soon, Boo, I just need to finish these dishes’
He wandered off.
Seconds later, the arms snaked around my waist again. Hugging that little [...]

what do you see?

What do you see, really see when you see a family with an obviously disabled child?
What do you see?
It has been a hard week. A week of tears. Of frustration. A week of unbelievable lows, rising to bearable, then crashing down. Lower, deeper, dirtier than I care to be.
A hard week. Thankfully [...]

This post brought to you from the rocking corner.

I am surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers and have worn a dint in the carpet from the rocking.
But man, that rockin’ is great for the abs.
Cradling a glass of Mint Baileys with tons of ice, the air con blowing in my face.
Drying the tears, leaving mascara trails down my face. I look like Alice Cooper.
And [...]

How to make a condiment sandwich while whacked out on pain meds

Boo is home.
Boo ate the rest of his pressure bandage last night.
So I had to go and stock up on more.
Cause a kid gets hungry in the middle of the night.
And nothing hits the spot like a sweaty pressure bandage that has been marinating in a skate shoe all day.
And now he is hungry again.
Boo [...]

……and my accident for today will be….

were the first words out of Boo’s mouth as we got to school this morning.
Yes, I sent him to school. More on that in a minute.
I looked at Boo. Picked my jaw up from the ground, wiped off the asphalt, leaves and rocks, and popped my eyes back in my head.
‘Pardon?’ I stammered.
‘My [...]

At school 2 hours and a trip to the hospital.

Minutes after the last post I got a call.
Boo can no longer walk.
Boo is complaining of pain. Constantly.
The kid that had 4 exposed nerves in his teeth that we only knew about when he went for a filling.
The kid that snaps off his own teeth. Or levers them out with anything vaguely sharp.
The [...]
