well ive not been around for a while, its rare i get on the laptop lately!
So, lets start with an update on the sprogs, Elise is doing well academically, shes reached all her targets in all subjects and is best in reading her behaviour at home has gone down the pan a little bit, shes very gobby, speaks to me like poo mainly, id probably compare her to a teenager at the moment, never does as shes told, constantly winding her sister up...so yea thats Elise!
Elexis is also doing brilliantly, she has started to talk in sentences now and actually does as she is told, so if she makes a mess and i ask her to tidy up she will do, and she usually tidies her sisters mess too! her sleeping is much better sometimes she will wake crying in the night twice max, but i just leave her as its a short outburst and shes straight back off to sleep, she usually goes 6:30-7pm while similar time the next day! She has started getting a little mischievous and likes to have a bit of a paddy if she doesnt get her own way, but thats terrible two's approaching and it wont be forever lol...she hopes!
I have been doing slimming world for the last 5 weeks, starting weight 12st 6lbs, been so down in the dumps about my weight and it just not shifting, thought i'd give this ago and its fab, im always full, can eat a lot of what i love, have a good treat day on a saturday and in that 5wks i have lost a stone, feeling so much better for it, want to ideally get down to 10st if not just a tad less but im just happy to have gotten out of the 12st mark!
I applied for a job around 5 weeks ago, had interview a week on thursday ago got offered the job the friday after that and started last thursday...and i hate it! As it was advertised, support worker aiding those with learning disabilities to live independently so that they can be intergrated back into the community to live relatively normal lives! Thought ok, id love to help them cook and clean and learn them how to do things or themselves, started...totally different, all those that im working with are mainly autistic and suffer with epilepsy or other debilitating illnesses which means that they cannot live on their own, they need constant care, bathing, their meals cooked for them...everything, and the lady they have paired me up with is peg fed (although i cant have anything to do with this at the moment) she has to have 2ml of water at a time as she doesnt produce saliva but if given too much she can drown and die, they have given me the role of giving her water also, she likes to slap, nip, kick and scratch you as well as headbutting and barging you out the way, so on my first day i really did feel like walking out, i hated it, i got home and i cried, i didnt want to go back the next day, first day was a 12hr shift, the following day i started at 2pm and and finished at 9:30pm was a much quieter day, this lady spent most of her day in bed, another service user who is also quite demanding and spits and lashes out had had a seizure and so slept most the day and when he was awake he was very docile and quiet, so that was a better day! Tomorrow, im working a 14hr shift, ive said this shift will decide whether i stick or quit, if i can get through this shift i can hack it until something else comes up otherwise i'm walking, its really not for me, i dont get attacked at home and i will not be paid minimum wage to get attacked at work!!! Kinda dreading tomorrow but we shall see, i may be pleasantly surprised like i was friday!
So i worked for 2 days had this weekend off, but had my half bro here to sleep over and its been so so stressful id rather have been at work, all they have done is misbehave, cry, argue, fight and generally not done as they are told, so there will be no more sleepovers, all i wanted was a nice chilled weekend to recover from my horrid ordeal at work and ive not even had that! pissed off just doesnt cover it!! All i seem to have done is shout and tell off and ive had enough!!!!
Anyway, thats my update and rant for the day...im gonna spend a good solid hour in the bath soon and try and forget about the world and my woes just for a teeny bit!!!
