Just 'Cos

Hello.
Remember me?
I used to blog a bit here on this blog...

I have been a bit busy lately so haven't had much time for the blog.
I am joining up with Fat Mum Slim's April Photo a Day for April, so that starts next weekend.
Which means, ohmygoodness, I will have to post everyday!

Let's see how I go with that hey??

Meanwhile, here are some pictures from Rybrae Farm.
We spent our first weekend out there this weekend.
What an adventure!!
For updates you can 'like' our FB page: Rybrae Farm I will post regular updates there, along with pictures.
Join in the conversation as we start to realise how hard a dream is to achieve sometimes!!!

I can say that self-sufficiency is interesting and we have A LOT to learn. The solar power is fairly outdated given that it is 25 years old. The wind power hasn't been working for 3 years and the wind turbine has fallen over. So we need to fix that. We are yet to get the hot water system going.
BUT.
We did get the water system figured out.

Braeden loved watching the sunrise with me on Sunday morning (what a beautiful sight that was!).
Ryley overall spent most of the weekend crying because he wanted to be riding on the motorbike 24/7.
He also injured himself somehow and is refusing to walk.

Anyway.
Here are some photos.








Can anyone tell we have millions of 'suckers' to get rid of?

      It is extremely exhausting! I forgot how hard it is to do work when the kids are around. But we have managed it before, we will manage it again!

Some things just never get easier

I have logged back in to write today as we come to the end of lockdown 3.0. I just saw in my unpublished posts my thoughts about lockdown 1.0. Hmmm. I might publish that one day!  Today's topic feels like something I have written about before. Over the past few weeks, Ryley has been undergoing assessments. These assessments are necessary in order for us to receive adequate funding under the NDIS.  Long story short, Ryley's last NDIS plan has failed to provide the funding he needs in order to participate fully in the things we had planned for his transition out of school.  The whole process has felt a bit messy.  It started with me not being listened to. This is despite my strong, knowledgeable-of-systems-and guidelines voice. No blaming or shaming here. It just is as it is.  However, for those that know me well, know that when you try and 'quieten' my voice, I will only speak louder. Especially when it comes to advocating and speaking for those that can't.  As expec

Blogging 101-how do I do this again?

Image
Sometimes I wander back into this blog and check out a few of my past posts. I read some of the wonderful blogs I used to follow regularly and contemplate writing here again.  So many things have changed in my life over the past few years.  The teenage years are...difficult.  I feel very alone in this raising a teenage boy with WHS thing. There is no one really to answer my questions, and I spend most of my days feeling as though my son hates me. I know he doesn't, but this is tough. Way tougher than I thought it would be.  So here I am.  Tracking my journey again. It may help others.  It may help me. But I feel as though there is so little support out there for parents who have teenagers with WHS...or any other disability for that matter.  I feel compelled to write. So, I will eventually update this blog so it looks a bit fancier and with the times again (ha!). But this is me. Raw. Unedited. Changed.

Defeated...for now

Image
At the moment, I am just surviving. I should have known it was only a matter of time before I fell over again and needed some help to get back up. Stress. Anxiety. Exhaustion. They seem to come hand in hand don't they? And I should have really just taken a moment when I felt the stress building up. I should have just said 'hey, I need a day or two to myself'. But I didn't. And here I am. I am ok by the way. Just in between sick kids, a sick me, work, a zillion extra appointments to somehow squeeze into my already full days...well...it all just became a bit much. Cue: Me in tears sitting in my Managers office. Thank goodness I have a supportive and wonderful workplace. She saw I needed time out and told me to take it. The worst bit of it all is the stupid anxiety that came back. For those that suffer from anxiety (whether it be a sometimes thing like me, or an ongoing disorder), it truly sucks the life out of you. My body just completely went into adre
