Then ill be driving to course, staying till 2.30 then making my way to work for about 1.5 hrs then home to cook and clean. Nope, not going anywhere except - on 30th my sister and i (birthday present) are flying to Hobart Tasmania for a day. A big one but we are going somewhere. At 57 its her first plane flight and she is very nervous. This is her way (on limited funds) of giving me the trip i wanted for my birthday. I love love love my sister.

Im not interrupting (god forbid) but peripheral noise like a dog, fridge closing, the neighbours lawn mower etc. I try to explain that we use a lawnmower too and dont ask the neighbours if its ok. "Why are you defending everyone all the time, you are suppose to support me". Yes, my job is to find things for both of them. When i leave in the morning, i leave the place tidy and then when i get home 8 hrs later, it straight back to tidying so it resembles a house. <br /><br />Sorry to hear that you are feeling so tired and glum. Its hard to deal with both my Aspie's when i am ill but they dont acknowledge that i am. They will actually get me out of my sick bed to find something, or make something or go shopping for something because they need it, now!!! <br /><br />It was my 50th yesterday and when i came home he launched into a 2 hr monologue about how bad his job is (telling so much detail) and i was a bitch for not telling him to quit. I should not want my husband to work in such a place, apparently and i should say the words "OK hon, go in tomorrow and quit". <br /><br />Im going to a three day workshop during work hours next week that is by Autism Australia to learn all about Positive Behavior. Maybe they should be doing it, not me.

Once I had become convinced some one had stole a complete set of pans until a couple of weeks later I found them in the linen closet. I can understand your frustration. I mean to put things back but on the way to do so I see something shiny...... Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830934366263275281noreply@blogger.com
