Moo’s Mind Over Matter
This is my niece, she is 99% a perfect 5yr old girl. She is 1% an autistic child. This is my sister’s blog to document their struggle to provide the extra support and education that she needs and deserves. www.moosmindovermatter.blogspot.com Could I ask you all a huge favour please, would you follow this and share it with as many people as you can so that other families don’t have to face the same battle. Thanks Would like some recommendations for books to download on my kindle please… a few ground rules: no fantasy, no twilight or HP, no chick lit, urrmm, that’s it really - open to most other suggestions! Thank you muchly! :-) #books #kindle #recommendations #read

Ranting ranting ranting! *Woe is me post, BEWARE*
Ever have one of those days where you are just really pissed off with everything?? The kind of day where you want to stop the world from spinning just for a moment, the days when you want to switch the alarm off, climb back under the covers and hibernate! Today is one of those days, I have found myself to be irritated, annoyed, angry and generally grumpy about pretty much everything and everyone! My life is almost always pretty good and in the grand scheme of things all is well in my world, I have a family who I love and adore, I have great friends and I even quite like my job, or at least I don’t hate it anyway. (Shh, don’t tell my boss!) and everyone us pretty much healthy enough to get through the week. But, today and actually more and more days recently even the smallest of things seem to wind me up and I find myself reacting (and over reacting) to the most insignificant of events. Without going into reams of detail, a few examples… *trying to do things - not getting any support from others *banging heads against a wall trying to do things that should be simple and straightforward but end up in ridiculous amounts of red tape and politics *trying to sort the house out and prepare to sell - problems with the noisy smack head neighbour which now makes it look like we live in a slum *the very slow progress we are making with clearing the house/decorating etc due to lack of time, lack of funds, lack of energy, lack of skill and ultimitely lack of effort. *I have put weight on, not masses but enough - I would like to lose it but I am just not in the right frame of mind to diet and I hate exercise so its not going to happen - I am annoyed at myself *My children don’t sleep well, they never have…they are rarely asleep before midnight and although once they are asleep they generally stay that way until I wake them at 8am for school they are completely incapable of sleeping alone so for almost the last 9 years I have slept with either 1 or 2 children and can barely remember the last time I spent a whole night in the same room let alone the same bed as my husband….and we almost never spend anytime together, just the two of us, at all anymore. +++++ many other things that I can’t even be arsed to think of and explain! And if course the constant shitty weather we have had recently just doesn’t help my grump! Added to that the fact that it would appear to be that a few of the things that I actively enjoy doing seem to be coming to an end, the RCIA course I have been doing only has 5 sessions left, the UKA project I have been doing at work looks like it will be going in May and the school PTA seems to be fizzling out too (although I will try to save it if I can)….I think I’m going to have to find myself another hobby! Ok, so reading all that back seems trivial and ridiculous and I really don’t have much to moan about as I, my family and friends are all healthy and that’s all that really matters and I know my life us pretty sweet and millions of people are far worse off…but still, GRRRRR, to everything and everyone!! I don’t really even know what I am whinging about, maybe I’m tired, maybe I’m hormonal, maybe maybe just maybe I am just a natural born moaner! Maybe someone could just wave a magic wand and fix everything…its not one specific thing but rather a culmination of small things that makes you feel this way. I’m not unhappy at all, quite the opposite..sometimes I feel un-fulfilled more than anything else, that there should be more, I would like to have done more, to travel, to study, to do, to be ???, I don’t know what…no-one has ever stopped me doing anything at all or stood in my way, the only thing that really holds me back is my own laziness, my own fears and my own lack of confidence in my own abilities…in some ways I know I am more than capable of doing whatever I set my mind to but in other ways I fear failure and looking like a fool. I’m not particularly clever, average at best. I’m not particularly cool and trendy, I’m not particularly anything but sometimes somewhere in the back of my mind I think I could be if I tried. I am mostly annoyed, irritated, angry and grumpy with myself for letting things get to me and not having the confidence, the skills, the energy, the get up and go to do anything about it. Ok, enough, ranty woe is me post over, I’m even boring myself now…congratulations if you stayed awake til the end, your gold star is in tge post! And now to bed, tomorrow is another day and there may be sunshine after the rain! G’night folks
