I certainly have had a very up and down day! Today my son -master 9 as I call him - got expelled from school for punching a teacher. My son has mild autism and there was a misunderstanding at school and he got upset and lately has been taking to being violent. He has been sent home numerous times before but today I guess was the last straw.
The school called today at 9.15am and I saw my whole day flash before my eye's. I was meant to work today on my business in a local shopping centre which I was really looking forward to. I was meant to be there yesterday too but my son had a meltdown at school so had to come home before 10am.
So now he is suspended for 3 days. I went to the school once my husband had brought him home and I went to collect some work for him to keep him busy at home as he will now have no tv or computer or fun stuff. So I need to have things that he can work on. It's an interesting challenge as I have always thought that I would never be strong enough to 'home school'. Today's work wasn't too bad but I don't think I could do it all the time.
How does this affect me emotionally / 12wbt / generally....
Today is accelerator day which means low carbs / no simple cabs because tomorrow is weigh in day! I honestly think this is one of the biggest reasons why I haven't turned to food today and chocolate probably because I know emotionally & mentally I wouldn't have the energy to be burning it all off - a tim tam isn't worth that much energy LOL.
Also I do believe that after doing 2 rounds of 12wbt now I have learnt that food is not the issue for solving problems. I also have NO food in the cupboard or fridge that interests me and absolutely NO energy to go to the shops to get anything LOL.
It also goes to show the importance of food planning I had my daily meals and snacks all laid out and I just ate when exactly that when I needed it so there's no added guilt ontop of today's issues.
I also found out that some of the possible 'silver' light we had hoped for my son's future education looks like it's not going to be a possible avenue which makes us a little upset.
I still went to Zumba as this was my exercise for the day and as always something I enjoy which really does help. I had to laugh when I looked at my HRM and it had '666' showing - oh dear ... an omen??? LOL
I have talked to a few people about what to do while my son is home and they all say to continue on with my days so he will be following me to the gym as there is a small area he can sit in where I can see him the whole time while I workout and also he's in the same room as Zumba.
I said to a few people I guess things like today are what make people go outside and want to bang their heads against the wall LOL. So I found this picture and I thought it so fitting to the post!
So at the end of the day I'm just tired and worn out feel like I have been running full pelt all day. Tomorrow is however another day, always onwards and upwards. I am VERY grateful for the fact that my husband works to allow me to have the best job in the world of being a mum and that I can do it freely while dealing with issues such as these. Early bed time tonight I have no doubt I will be asleep before my head hits the pillow!
