Hello beautiful people. How are you all? Happy new year!I'd really like to be more consistent with my blogging this year, however I'm not going to feel bad or put any pressure on myself when I'm not consistent.In all honesty I'm completely overwhelmed at the moment and I'm not sure when that feeling is going to go away. I don't think it'll be any time soon.Chai's conditions are escalating as he approaches puberty. I'm pulling back on a lot of his therapies and trying to ease up on my responsibilities to give both of us more down time. At this stage I'm not sure how I'm going to ease up on my responsibilities but I'll give it my best shot. Trying to keep Chai calm and balanced is such a difficult job. Trying to make sure his challenges don't damage Eljay is extremely difficult. Trying to balance my time so I'm giving enough to both boys whilst also maintaining some level of sanity is near on impossible. Being the parent of a neurodiverse child is fraught with challenges that parents of neurotypical children don't even think about. Like clothing, routines, food, friendships.It's the little things that I have to keep on my mind 24/7. This year is all about reducing demands. I'm going to pull back from as many commitments as I can and do everything I can to make life simpler for the kids and I. Less therapies, less demands, less meeting and appointments. Less of the stuff that causes stress. I have committed myself to more than I am capable of keeping up with. A few years ago those commitments were fun, now they feel like chores. I just don't have time for obligations that feel heavy. Let's hope I manage to swiftly extract myself from said obligations.And whilst we're talking Swiftly, I've never been overly interested in Taylor Swift before, however I'm loving her new romance. I think he's the one. Have a wonderful weekend beautiful people. Never forget how awesome you are.
