Stef is such a mischief maker. This morning, she stole my handbag from the loungeroom. I found the contents strewn over her room, and lipstick everywhere. So annoyed as it was a new lipstick and I just loved the shade. Now I have to buy a new one before work. Do I really have to lock away my handbag as well everyday...sometimes this autism shit is just so frustrating!!!!!!!!!
Oh and I got a nasty note from the special school yesterday about Stef's footwear. We have bought thousands of dollars of shoes over the years, only for Stef to refuse to wear them. She will take off any pair of shoes within seconds. The teachers whinge at me constantly about having to put her shoes back on to the point that they no longer talk about her speech progress or anything she should be learning at school in her communication book...so I simply gave up and let her wear what she will leave on. Yes I realise that slip on scuffs are not appropriate for school, but there is only so much shit you can take. We can buy new runners for Stef, and within one day at school, the backs are broken because they allow her to walk out of them constantly. I have run out of ideas. I bought her new boots which she will wear for us, but when she wore them at school, they said that she wouldnt wear them as they were too tight across the foot...she wears them just fine for us. I am so sick of the shit!!!!!!!!!!! Stef is a toe walker...constantly...so her achilles tendons are just so tight that to press on them causes her a good deal of pain..there goes any shoes that end just below the ankle like any normal shoe. We have tried boots, high top runners, the slip on runners with the back cut out....Please if anyone has any ideas let me know how to keep proper shoes on this kid.
I have a very busy day ahead..got to go clean out my car before its taken away to the graveyard, shop for a new car, got to work at the real estate agent for 2 hours, do 3-5 hours with the supermarket to do the pays and other stuff, clean out the office at the supermarket ready for settlement on Tuesday...cooking cleaning and whatever else comes my way.
Hmm..thats why good old hubby went to the insurers, cleaned out the car, traipsed all over melbourne for a few hours, bought a new car, arranged the insurance, arranged for someone to help him deliver it tomorrow, fed the kids, all in time to greet you at the door with a well earned red wine and a cfme smile.....lol...welcome home Jay...love Steve!!!
