juggling to much crazy insane and a side of wacky

People often tell me well if you are tired and worn out stop taking on so much !!!!

THATS easy for them to say ...........
My weeks are crazy and mashed into a spare hour here or there Im a mummy to 3 very specail different children my eldest has a LOT of food alergies dustmites and so on she is having more testing as we kept things fairly good for 9 years and now her body is deciding to reject more foods and other stuff AS a very keen Gymnast who plans on reaching her goals to go to the olympics one day and trains super hard at the gym and at home Her health is super important ..........
child number 2
Well never really slept from birth onwards in nearly 8 and has a range of things    adhd ASD  Epilepsy And food alergies too we are in and out of playtherapy ,OT , PEADS, doctors, socailworkers ,more therapys and so on taiy dreams of also one day Competing in the olypics she says she wants to do specail olympics and normal she is very sporty very strong and very stuborn so i know she can make this happen if thats what she wants ..............
The boy in the family :)
Was such a lovely easy going baby and toddler food alergies YES .....
But not to much then as he got older he stoped talking for a while and as he got older become really agressive and angry at first we thort ohh its just testostrone hormones he will balance out soon :( sadly he was recently after turning 4 diagnosed with ODD we trieled some meads as well as we are on a strick additive free preservative free diet wich helps a lil bit We stoped the meads as it was not LIFE changing wow and are living day by day HE can be very loving and has a huge fan bas of kids that seem to adore him ...... BUT he can snap and scare the crap out of anyone i have had many injurys it sadness me to see him change we never know when its going to happen if someone talks to him wrong or upsets him or he is over tired so on and so on he snaps I worry about the future if we cant get it under control xxxxxxx we also believe he is asd as he is super bright super quirky and other stuff But getting him tested is going to be a long prosess like it took with my eldest ......(even though socail workers and people close to us can see he is on the spectrum xxxx

Any how im a mum a cook cleaner nurse and the list goes on ................................
life is full of Ups and downs nothing can be predicted Organised and catrised to how we like there is NO such thing as a PERFECT FAMILY ,PERFECT LIFE OR perfect Child every one has mistakes ups n downs and things hidden :) I try to put my crazieness out there to help others see that they DO  NOT NEED to pretend they are OK or PERFECT .............IM far from it Im crazy Insane and a touch of mental with a side of wacky BUT i love my children even when i rant .........................

Feeling BLUE Living Life WITH children and disabiltys

Life as a mummy to a child or children with disability's can be lonely,

I sadly have pushed away most connections to have friends or make new friends ....

Yes i know stupid it sounds its not that i don't want to be sociable .......

Its because Not everyone can handle seeing the other side of my children ,I get sick of stares ,i get sick of remarks of how rude or naughty or uncontrollable my child is or how they must need a good smack ,I get sick of people making comment's also behind my back thinking I'm a bad mum ...

YES i am far from being the perfect mum i LOSE it (alot) i scream (often) i cry (most days) BUT i try to make the most of what we have. everything I do is for my baby's .

I have done all the parenting types of behaviour groups...

The thing is when you have a child or children that isn't so to speak (NORMAL ) those techniques they give you just don't cut it.... A normal child would care if you took something they loved of them , or sent them for 5 Min's time out or told them they could not do something like going to a friends party ....

A CHILD like Mine well they just don't care or don't show they care ....

Sadly there is not Much support for mums like me Most of us turn to Internet community for out reach and comfort ,support and help......

I am a mum to a child aged 7 with adhd/Pddnos-autism , epilepsy and a 4 year old that is undiagnosed who has a lot of anger and aggression issues , I also have a 9 year old who struggles to deal with having full on sibling's ..

Mornings and nights i feel like a Nurse measuring out medications ,making sure they are swallowed and not being spat Out or hidden ,Its tiring Bed times take forever and are full of tantrums ,screams , We don't have a normal life ,we cant Just decide oh we are going to the movies or OUT for dinner with or with out the kids , its hard finding some one to babysit ,it takes planning to let the children know what is happening days in advance to avoid FREAK OUT' S . and its super stressful to a Marriage .......

To pay for Play therapys ,medications ,peads Bills and then Normal things like dance class and Gymnastics so our children can strive for some normality's means LONG hours of work ,sacrifice on your own health and well being and appearance ,

I very rarely Buy my self pretty new clothes and if i do its because i saw them mega discounted for like $10 or under shoes i get cheap comfy ready to run after children type shoes , My hair i do make an effort to get this done atleast 2 times a year i usually get some highlights or something nice around November for my birthday and so i don't look so tragic at Christmas , my nails rarely painted or pretty don't even look at my feet hahaha .......I don't buy coffees or go for Lunches or DRINK it just isn't a NEED I rather spend money on my children and helping them reach there life goals ...

Sometimes i feel i have failed I have not really done Much at all with my life before children 'I WORKED hard my job or jobs meant everything at 18 i was working 3 jobs id start at 4;30 am and finish at midnight , i have NO diplomas or fancy certificates behind me I have Hospitality in my blood and no the ins and outs of a cafe and kitchen . I have done Senior First aid and training on using an epi pen, i have 18 years experience with children 9 of those spent with learning and adjusting life to children with allergies and then disability's I'm 29 this year and sometimes i feel worn out like I'm 50ish which is sad BUT its a fact of life ,

I'm lucky to have a strong husband who although I'm sure wants to run in the other direction is determined to stay at our side ,

alot of marriage's do not with stand the test and trials of living life with children with disability's But we are Both determined ...God designed MARRIAGE for Life . and our love with always pull us Thru xxxxxxxxxxx

deCluttering A constaint Working progress

1. On my search on the internet i have come across a web site with great ideas here are what they say .
2. Declutter for 15 minutes every day. It’s amazing how much you can get through if you just do it in small increments like this.
3. Don’t allow things into the house in the first place. Whether you’ve begun decluttering the living space, or you’ve just completed it, stop bringing in new stuff NOW. Even if that’s ALL you do and don’t start decluttering immediately, if you can only establish one habit at a time, establish the no-more-stuff habit first. This way, when you do get to decluttering the existing stuff, you’ve already stopped making it worse. Think of bailing out a boat with a hole in it. You can bail and bail, but it won’t do anything for the leak.
4. Donate stuff you’re decluttering, so you don’t feel bad about wasting it.
5. Create a Joe’s Goals chart with decluttering on it — either daily, or 3 times a week. Check off the days when you declutter, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment.
6. Start at the corner by the door and move your way around the room, doing the superficial stuff first – surfaces, empy the bin etc. Repeat, but do more the 2nd time around – ie. open the cupboards.
7. Whenever you’re boiling the kettle for tea, tidy up the kitchen. If the kitchen is tidy, tidy up the next room – it’s only 3 minutes but it keeps you on top of everything (helps if you have an Englishman’s obsession with Tea as well!)
8. Use the “one in, two out” rule. The rule: whenever you bring in an item, you have to throw away two other items. First you cheat, by throwing out two pieces of paper, but soon you will have to move to big stuff.
9. Make your storage space smaller and more minimal. If you have lots of storage, you’ll fill it with stuff.
10. Clothing rule: If you haven’t worn an item in 6 months, sell or donate it.
11. The One-Year Box. Take all your items that you unsure about getting rid of (e.g. “I might need this someday…”), put them in a box, seal it and date it for 1 year in the future. When the date comes, and you still didn’t need to open it to get anything, donate the box WITHOUT OPENING IT. You probably won’t even remember what there was in the box.
12. Declutter one room (including any closets, desks, cabinets, etc.) before starting on the next one. Spending time in that room will feel *so* good, and it will be so easy to keep clean, that it will motivate you to do more!
13. Keep a list in your planner labeled “Don’t Need It – Don’t Want It.” When you’re out shopping and run across some kind of gadget or other item you crave, note it down on the list. This will slow you down long enough to reconsider. Also, seeing the other things on the list that you nearly bought on impulse really helps.
14. Internalize that your value is not in your “stuff”. It is just “stuff”. And realize that your value grows when you share your “stuff”. Hoarding is a selfish act.
15. Have someone else (who you trust!) help you go through things. They don’t have the (sometime’s irrational) emotional attachment that you might have, but can still recognize if something should be kept.
16. Gift everything. Books you’ve read immediately get recycled among friends, family or local libraries. If you buy a new gaming system, donate your old one – and all the games.
17. This came from http://zenhabits.net/15-great-decluttering-tips/
18. I PLAN TO TRY TO START THIS If the kids let me have 1 Day to do so i need to get a new tub to pack winter jackets into and then a box and a bag 1 for throw away ,one for give away and one for garage sale :) i will let you know how i go xxxx
