Life goes on pretty much the same, Missy is as Missy as ever and Missy-mass is approaching rapidly with Halloween and Bonfire night having just ended.<br />
I am writing this at almost midnight on a Sunday night and Missy is singing away merrily in her bedroom and still will not sleep.<br />
However she is happy, and the best that I can do is not to upset her at this time of night or maybe she will go into a missy-meltdown and that wouldn't be pretty for her or me !<br />
For most of the day Missy has spent her time in her room singing and watching videos and making videos and reading her books and being creative. It has been pouring down all day so there has not been a lot more that she could do.<br />
However, the fact that she has been content with her day is a very good thing.<br />

After three sentences the words fall off the cliff of my memory and my memory starts over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So when you spend 15 minutes telling me how wonderful you were in work today and how crap everyone else was, just remember that all I remember is the bit about your work mate with bad breath, the cheese and pickle sandwich you made for lunch and how bad the traffic was!</div>

They are so irritating, I would rather play Tetris which is something I play when I don' t want to think.</div>

But even with Brain Fog I can get Missy and I up and out of bed and washed and dressed and fed and at school on time-ish every day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And it is the autistic love of order and routine that keeps me going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Missy's OCD ways have saved my brain-fogged life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like our guinea pig boys who are no longer with us , when Missy is hungry she will not be ignored.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She has a routine to her life like a train that once in motion will not stop until all stages have been passed and all goals achieved.</div>

What I am trying to say is that her clothes are always dirty and sometimes she gets changed up to 5 times a day.
I end up having to do at least 2 loads of washing a day !

I am so exhausted from it all that when the basics are done it is time for a nap......just so I can cope with Whirlwind Missy when she returns from school :)MOTHER OF MANYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02555514242369474271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27792849.post-43844827193868094992013-11-04T23:23:00.000+00:002013-11-04T23:23:07.636+00:00Bonfire Night :)In 2 days, Halloween will be over and the Halloween decorations can come down.<br />
For Missy Halloween lasts from the start of October until the day after Bonfire<span style="text-align: center;"> Night.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">It lasts until after Bonfire Night as Bonfire Night has no decorations of it's own.</span><br />
