My days at the moment are so busy. I get up at 4am, work for a couple of hours and then start getting the kids up. Do a liittle housework and then to work. I get home, do the homework stuff with the kids and cook tea and clean up a little and then bed. I barely have time to do anything else.
It will be good to change jobs. Hopefully to get back to working 2 days a week will relieve the pressure a bit.
Stef was beautiful last night. She wanted to go to bed at 7.30, came to me in the loungeroom and grabbed my hand and said "Make bed"....Oh to get the extra help she needs to get this communication stuff happening. She isnt stupid and knows what she needs its just a matter of getting her to get the words out. She certainly thinks in sentences as she has proved that to us before. I really don't know what to do next. There are no speech therapists in Geelong available to give her intensive help even if we pay for it ourselves and the school really hasnt done much.
I just need to find out where I can get this help for her. Also looking at alternative therapies for her. Stem cell therapy maybe, but it will cost us a fortune, $100 000 plus. I must sit down and write a list of specialists that we can be referred to today.
I am also just putting together a couple of job applications. Both for Gateways Support Service a couple of days a week. I could do either of them. One is promotions/fundraising officer, the other is as finance officer. I just cant wait til I get the whole job thing settled.
Oh and Steve is away which always makes it a little unsettling. I miss the emotional support so much when he is not here.
Should be a quiet house tonight. Steve is away, Melinda is going on camp today and Brent is busily trying to catch up on school work. That leaves a non-verbal Stef and a Jack who is happily on the computer all the time.
