See You On The Other Side!

I am running away. Not for ever, but for 3 nights. I have never, ever had 3 nights away from my two boys... well, not for pleasure. Even on business I think the most has been 2 nights.

But today I am running away. Myself and some of my lovely old friends from my former life in the city of Sydney are meeting up in Melbourne. I am being utterly selfish and had not told anyone including some of my dear new friends who reside down there. Several reasons for this.

Firstly, I honestly was not sure this trip would actually eventuate. Between sick kids, sick adults, and other committments, I had doubts. But it has.

Secondly, I, for once, am not the organisor. One of my very best friends is and she has co-ordinated all of us, accommodation and activities. I am sitting back and being told: this is what we are doing today. Hell, I have no idea of the itinerary even now. Bliss!

Thirdly, I don't want to make promises I can't keep.

This is my first girl's weeked away in over 13 years! So I am being selfish... utterly, totally, blissfully selfish.

Toodles!

Do You Remember The Autismness Posts?

I seem to be meeting more and more people who are beginning their journey into the quicksand of special needs. Early last year I posted a series of posts about our path and experiences.

The Road Less Travelled 1 - The Tale of a Boy & his Journey into Autismness

The Road Less Travelled 2 - The Tale of a Boy & his Journey into Autismness

The Road Less Travelled 3 - The Tale of a Boy & his Journey into Autismness




Be warned, they are long and emotional. Why am I posting these? Well, as I said, I am finding more and more people on this or similar journeys and I think it helps to read of another's experiences. AND because I am working on no. 4 in the journey. I think people need to see the other three before reading four.

And let me tell you this one will be worth looking at. Just sayin'.
