A really good day

It's only lunch time and we've already made:

• 3 cat masks
• 3 cat tails (old tights/stockings stuffed with newspaper - suprisingly effective, vary stuffing amount and style to make all sorts of animal tails)
• 24 mini banana muffins
• 6 large banana muffins (already eaten too)

Phew!
My little cats are now watching Aristocats for 'rest time', then onwards to tea time. I've got planned:

• Dangly witch mobiles
• Clothespeg witches on drinking straw brooms
• a trip to the shops for knicker elastic to finish the cat masks.
• maybe a trip to the beach, depending on afternoon storms, etc.

This is a slightly busier than average day for us, but now you know my 'magic formula' for weight loss!

The good and the bad

The Good:
Since leaving pre-school, One-son has become calmer, more predictable, sleeps better, eats better, yawns in the middle of the day!! All indicating his poor mind and body were stressed out to the max by 3 days/week at preschool.

The Bad:
I have no respite, so conversly, I am more anxious, loose my temper more often and more spectacularly, sleep worse, feel claustrophobic, can't bear to be touched and have people in may space. All indicating my poor mind and body are now stressed to the max.

The future:
One day a week, approx 9-3pm in a mainstream daycare centre and one day a week in-home care. We should be able to start in the centre soon, but I am still hunting for a suitable in-home carer.

Long term:
A governor/governess/home tutor for all 3 of my boys, each special in their own way and likely to be ill-served by state-provided education.
