I hope she's not 23.
She's not gonna make it to 23 if she doesn't stop the tantrums  ;D

J/K, she's 3

The terrible twos tend to last about 17 years. But I'm sure you already know that.

Checking in.  Haven't been able to raise the site in days.  Keep getting error messages.  Weird.  Nice to be back.  Gotta get back to work now.

27. And counting.

The boy turned 15 today and I'm still waiting for him to realise that this coming academic year he has the rest of his GCSEs to sit, and then he has a couple of years of A levels to ace.

Instead, he's chosen this time to pour all his money (my money really) into building a gaming computer that he believes won't interfere with his studies.

He's meant to be clever, you know..

Daughters eh (and apparently grand daughters). Can't live with 'em and can't live with 'em.

She has been diagnosed with severe autism, we have no idea how she will be in the future, but it's a rush at this time to get her into behavioural modification programs, they apparently have had good success with children when they are young.

It must be very difficult figuring out the best way forward in your situation.  I hope that the program you've found is very effective and that she has a full and happy life.

have just repaired a mixer tap in the kitchen
when you turn on a little water then none  ???
good old you tube showed me the way to fix it. Worse thing was unscrewing the tap body  :o :o needed a good wrench to loosen it   (the whole mixer tap moved which scared the living out of me) and all's well.   :) :)

need a good drink to get over the exertion  ;D ;D

Looks like it will be a good program for her, the primary focus at this time is speech and language, she doesn't talk yet but certainly has no problem making all the correct sounds at her will. Formulating words just isn't happening yet. Thanks for the encouragement  :)

Hi Bea!
I'm drinking coffee in an effort to rejoin the living.  Some days it seems there's just not enough caffeine in the world.

Personally, I'm a big fan of armodafinil.

Cleaning the removable plates on my new-to-me foreman grill.

The cheeseburger sucked, but that's what I get for buying frozen pucks [store wanted like nine dollars for meat]

F that noise.
