as I’m on my way to bed.

Pulled the day around to a certain extent – went out to meet the home ed group to view a possible new room for us to use. (It’s fab – really hope we all go for it!) Played in the park for a while, then popped off to Tesco. Worked quite hard with Big while we were there – praising the good behaviour and attempting to play down the unacceptable, lots of distraction going on as well.

I feel like I’m retraining a dog 🙁 (but then again, I think I’m retraining me just as much as I’m retraining her, so I’m not sure what that says about my own self-image).

Didn’t get Small to bed until 10.30 tonight, so hopefully he’ll sleep for a while. Actually got a bit of work done this evening, and barely forummed (with apologies to Chris for yet another new verb 😉 )at all so feeling quite good about myself just now.

night all.

  1. I’m glad you manage to salvage the day. Good luck with the retraining. I have just retrained myself, and believe me it is worth it!!

  2. Oh Jax, what am i going to do with you :~) I’m seriously starting to consider setting you up a star chart so you can reward yourself for good things you do, then you might start to give yourself a break occasionally :~)
    Well done, i know how hard you are working.

  3. I agree with Merry on this Jax you are doing fab and your honesty with yourself is OK but lets hear what you think your good points are too – we will all agree with you LOL
