Peanuts blog

  Oh  man  some times I feel like this is not so much the  Family blog as it is Peanuts. 
He had an Op on Tuesday and he was not impressed but  5 hours after getting up from that table  he is riding his bike so  Thursday he is back at school.

 The hospital experience was  better than I expected but still  hard tears formed a few times ( from me not him)   he would not let many other people touch him and went down to the operating suit with  his  Gum boots still on and back pack at his side as he wanted to leave badly before the premeds kicked in. 
Even after then when you thought he was out cold  and I could poke him and move him as much as I liked as soon as someone elses touch came near him he would bolt up right and fight them. “ Get off my bed go away, get away from me"  as per usual in a crisis situation peanuts language comes on leaps and bounds LOL I even got a  comment on how nice it was he was so verbal LOL  and one man wished his son was quite like mine, the reason he is so quite is because anxiety is so high he has withdrawn completely LOL  Every one at the hospital  was really great and didn’t want to stress him out the ones that understood Autism let me do it all themselves and the ones who didn’t asked me first what they should do so I felt very supported.  After the op they  got me down to recovery as they couldn’t do any obs on him.  Once he was running around and trying to leave they discharged us.  It was the first time Peanut when under and I didn’t think I would be that scared but I tell you what watching your child lay there  still and out cold is a hard thing to watch.

We only have 4 weeks till the end of the school year here so  I’m trying to get things sorted with Peanut  without being pushy  little suggestions here and there  and emails asking for booklists to remind them we are here and waiting for news.

Shrimples is all good to go, orientation went well  teachers meeting went well  =) last day of daycare is end of term then I have 2 months  YES TWO months we no time off !! 

Now one thing I hate is the cost ( the government here gives us money twice a year which is more than enough for school supplies but they only give it to us a term into school LOL  so the outlay is high )

Ive worked out uniforms have cost me $250 for both  ( not including the navy shorts we already have and can use)

Shoes each god knows maybe $30 – 50  each

School supplies  at $20-30 per child per school so for peanut that means double as he will be at two schools

 And then class room supplies Tissues, wet wipes etc  not a lot and then the actual education which is only $25 a year LOL ( if you want to pay you don’t have to pay that either its voluntary)

So we have December - Christmas $$

Jan - Peanuts birthday  $$$

Feb - School year start  $$$$

March - Shrimples birthday $$$

And the rest of the year paying it all off the credit card to start again  LOL
