The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Been one of those mornings were I have woken up and not felt like I have slept at all. Summer is fading away and Autumn is definitely making and entrance by howling down my chimney and the trees are bending back and forth. It certainly looks to energetic for my liking with all the swaying it is doing and making me feel sluggish.





Best get on with things around the house before lunchtime creeps up and the kids complain that they are hungry.

Ok anyone please explain to me why is it that you give a person the option of either A or B. They reply with a "I don't mind." So you pick option A for them letting them know this and then they say no they would prefer option B.



Now lets just back up a second on this. There is no trick question in this that there might be a hidden option C. That if you had picked the wrong option you would end up less than what you might have gotten if you had gone for the other option.

But to say that you don't mind and let the person who asked the question choose for you only for them to go for the other option B after you picked option A for them. Please the hell is going on?

So my eldest has the sniffles and didn't see the point in sending him with a runny nose and cause he is coughing chances are someone would complain. But I am the parent that will complain now as he must of picked it up from someone else coughing their nasty germs in the first place. So I have had his not so ray of sunshine sparkling charming self all day. I treated him to kippers for lunch. A first for him and he seemed to enjoy. So did the neighbours cat as well. He had a broken nose as a kitten and yet that cat always knows when I am cooking fish or fish is on the menu. He is always sat outside my front door and I wouldn't go feeding him unless I have the permission of the owner and as seen as it is the neighbour and she has okayed it before then I let her know he will get a little something from front door. If she was to say no I would be understanding as well. I have had cats myself in the past and I know how they scavenge for food but we are good so its all good. My youngest had a positive morning and is still only doing mornings for the time being. He sat in for two lessons English and Maths. No time out today neither in the chill out room so a really good morning for him. Just like this afternoon to be as relaxed and good for him.

Ok so I am sat eating my meal with the kids this evening when the rumble of the car returns and parks in my drive once more.

Again no knock on my door no finding out if it is ok to use my drive. Just make yourself at home with you phones blairing away with music and texts.

Well that was it. I did the only thing I could and phone the neighbors and give them a heads up that they have till this evening to fix it and then move it permanently off my drive.

I explained it to her fully and even she agreed it is bang out of order.

Plus the owner of the car has an accent that is really grating on me and a laugh to boot that irritating.

So the neighbors husband came round not long after I had gotten off the phone. He apologised which whilst I appreciate the thought it is not him who should be saying sorry in the first place.

But even he noted that I had stated before the summer holidays had begun that I had asked for them not to use my drive any more as it does upset my youngest and confuse him.

With him only doing half days in high school for the time being he adjusting to new situations and does need changes in the home to add to new things happening in his unbalanced life.



~sighs~ my kindness is not a weakness..............

And with that they are gone. Not a thank you so sorry if we made to much noise. Why yes we did leave a mess and wont be clearing up but thanks anyhow got to go.



Nope they just drive off leaving empty wrappers and crap laying about.



Going to have strong words with neighbors tomorrow when kids are not about and not in ear shot of my colourful words that will be in use :)

Ok mini rant time.



Would like to know since when it is ok that neighbors "friend" and I emphasize that word as he is not mine is allowed to park in my drive and use it as a place where he can fix his pile of junk of an unroad worthy scrap metal pile of fuckin crap of a so called car with out even asking me.

I would have removed the cars jack by now had it not been the fact that there is a person underneath and let the hand brake off and given it a good kick off of my drive.



Only once has the neighbour actually come in and said can I use your drive for to fix the car as the exhaust pipe is needing to being fixed. They didn't finish till gone 11.30pm that night and I had two boys that I needed to get up the following day for school.

Not only that the owner of the car is rude to my eldest and makes suggestive comments as to what I should do with my children. In how to raise him.

I like my neighbors but this is bang out of order. I don't go and park my shit in there front garden with or without permission.

It seems to me give a person and inch and they will take a yard. Well you know what I might be dyslexic in my maths but im not daft when it comes to someone taking the piss.

Rested up a fair bit today. I woke up to sneezing constantly. Not sure where it came from. But had a good peaceful morning and received the odd text from my friend to brighten up my quiet time.

Got down to typing up some more of my writing. Also managed to the washing loads as well and now kids are home. So bedlam it is but cant have the cookie and eat it lol

I have to say I didn't know what all the fuss was about till I you tubed the MTV with Miley Cyrus.



I can remember a time in the UK when a foam finger was an innocent fun toy that you might catch a glimpse of a boy forgetting he had it attached to his hand and go to pick his nose but would instead poke his eye out. Then perhaps would throw it off and stomp on it screaming at it.



But that foam finger last night will now be etched firmly in my mind for reasons I would rather not remember. Im not a prude but really did it have to be advertised and I thought MTV awards were for teens and kids as well or did I get that wrong? Nothing like advertising sex still you cant pregnant by a foam finger so suppose it has its plus in some weird way?

Now I wish I hadn't bothered!

Pork pies tonight with a salad. Trying to make the most of the last few weeks of summer before it disappears altogether.





My youngest and I love pork pies whilst my eldest loathes them so he gets mini sausage rolls instead to keep him happy :)

Well that was a morning and half I would not like to repeat anytime soon.



As my neighbour and I were leaving my sons high school this morning after a meeting that I felt was very productive and had good benefits and hopefully a good out come. We were down the street to head into town when a man who was clearly high as kite and off his head came up from behind us and tried to sell us his tobacco. We politely declined and carried on walking but he kept following us so we stopped off at a corner shop to see if we could shake him off. We walked up and down the isles a few time and purchased a chocolate bar each. But as we left we saw him sat outside on the wall. So my neighbour guided me to a friends house that she knows of and we fortunately lost him.

Seriously I just don't get what that bloke was after but my hand bag was tightly wrapped my wrist with my hands clenched.

It was not as though I had money in my bag as I never carry cash on me. But could have done without that. I think my neighbour was affected by than what I was. We had both thought that he had walked right past the shop as well so we didn't think to mention to the shop owner. Crazy people out there that's for sure.

Ok when my son chooses to change the channel I sometimes look up but it is one of those times I wish I had not as he is sat watching the Disney channel The Country Bears. Now aside from the list of A star people that have chosen to make an appearance that is to long to mention the one that has stood out for me out of all of them is Elton John. Since when does he need to do these appearances? It is very disturbing and was bad enough a few nights back when I ended up drifting off with the Swedish chef from the muppets singing in my head which morphed in Eric from true blood. Just wrong on many levels and I could be in for a long night if Elton appears in my dreams.

It has been an ok day today. The rain has been welcoming again and the breeze that followed it. Had a little lay in although my youngest insisted that whilst he would stay in bed he would not stay quiet so I had a rendition of Jungle book to listen to coming from his room at 7.00am. It was good but I would have preferred the sleeping and then when I was fully awake the singing.

I also found out today that my eldest is planning on taking up drama full time in his school and is auditioning for a part perhaps for a school play. So should be good.

Done a fair bit of writing today and a little bit of house work so fairly quiet just relaxing now and hopefully shall get some sleep soon.

Well my youngest has been doing great in the mornings settling into high school.

But the teachers have noticed that only does he have Autism but he also has other disabilities that the doctors wont confirm or deny. But the teachers have confirmed what I suspected for a long long time.

That he does have O.C.D. as well as Tourette's both verbally as well as physically.



Not that I need a doctor who wasted all those years studying and getting themselves into debt to be qualified to tell me my sons disabilities ~chuckles~ I should perhaps go and get qualified and earn their wage. Might perhaps help out in my current situation.

Shitty day to say the least.



I have a hole in my kitchen ceiling now. After a year of damp affecting the outside kitchen wall and the plaster cracking for some time the ceiling has given up. The plumbers are trying there best to find the source of the leak from the bathroom directly above and are limited on what to do as they have to follow the landlords request. To him a quick and easy solution is clearly not the best way round as now like I said I have a hole in the ceiling.



Also need a new sofa and to save up for three mattresses as have had the ones that my family sleep on for some time and the springs are ready to go.

Anything else want to shit on me today can just bloody well wait.

Urgh been a long few days.



Kids returned back to school yesterday with a couple of hiccups along the way.



Youngest has not handled to well at the transition from primary school to high school so he shall be only doing half days for the time being till he is ready to go in full time. I figured it wouldnt be a smooth move. Nothing ever is when it come to him. Guess the teachers didnt read up on his file as they were taken a back as to how he was.

What the heck were they expecting. He just had six weeks off from school and now was expected to follow a new rule system and routine. Well he has other ideas and as usual in the world of Autism you have to fit your life around it as best as you can.



Fingers crossed in a few weeks he might just settle in a little bit further and make progress.



It has been raining today which i was grateful for hugely. The air is so muggy and needs a good wash out. The early morning starts are a bitch once again but i know our systems will adjust to it quickly............i hope.

Well am a little excited now as tomorrow is closer. Going to hopefully be a good day and some fun added too.



Got everything at the ready. All i need is some beauty sleep and rest and hoping that my youngest remains in a good mood if not better one tomorrow.

Well yesterday was a mix or good and bad.



Went shopping with my eldest to pick up the remaining items for his return back to school. Managed that and then queued for ages at subway. Correction i sent my eldest to go queue as we had a 10 mins wait at the sports store to get his clothes for school. So my knees were not going to entertain another queue. We ate only to have kids sat behind me bouncing and crawling over the table and chairs. Dont get me wrong i know kids do it and not one to be bothered by it but then kicking the back of my seat is really out of order. Who knows where the parents were? Anyhow we left and went to the supermarket and did our food shopping. Found a section that did woopee cushions and i couldnt resist yep i bought it. All was going well but then doom and gloom of the cloud of meanyness came along. Yep my son and i had to walk past my father. Normally i can ignore this as he does not acknowledge me but my son was their and he chose to ignore him as well.

The temptation to shout out arsehole of the year award goes to my father. But i behaved. So got back and dropped off the shopping load and made a made dash for the chemist leaving my eldest at home with my youngest who the neighbor had been looking after the whole time i had been down the town with my eldest. Got to the chemist finally after road works held me up. Grrrrrrr curse you road works for the second time this month. So picked up my sons meds and went back home. Thought i would have a cuppa and relax once the neighbor had gone home but my youngest had other ideas and had a mini meltdown. So the evening was a tense one but i managed to relax once he had gone off to bed. Stayed up for a few hours and just chilled.

Slept well and was woken up by the post man. Today would have gone great as well had it not been for the fact the pilot light has gone out on my gas again so now have no heating or hot water. So phoned up the landlord who will send someone out to get fixed once again.

Im not holding my breath here as it is gone 5.00pm in the afternoon. So shall be boiling up kettle and pans of hot water it would appear once again.

Just another reason to move out of this place. But shall have to wait till next year.

Todays shopping went really well. It was relaxed and no one kicked off. There was no one needing to be rescued from a strangulation neither from my youngest.



We went to the shoe shop first picked up the boys school shoes and whilst i got the youngest gym shoes no worries my eldest and i shall have to go else where tomorrow to find a pair that fit him.

Youngest enjoyed leaving his finger marks all the gigantic mirror and was easily entertained by posing in the mirror. If i thought i could get away with out the mirror breaking in my sons bedroom through having a hissy fit i would have put one in by now but sadly he shall have to enjoy the trips to the shoe shop.

The clothes shop for the school uniform was full of fun as well and i spent a lot of money but needs must.

So as seen as my youngest was well behaved the promise of further good behavior at the barbars would earn him a trip to McDonalds. He did very well and not once did he kick off.



Pleased with both my boys in the outing to the shops today.

Just hope my eldest finds his shoes tomorrow.

Once Saturday arrives i can sit back and relax until Wednesday and stop rushing around like some insane woman.



Tomorrow is the day i have been dreading been putting for so long. But it is here and i am going to embrace and take the bull by its horns and tackle it all head on.



School clothes shopping for two teen age boys. One with a dress code issue of firmly believing that his school trousers should be wrapped half way around his backside and school tie where the knot is close to his belly button is not what the school asks for him to wear. The other has Autism and who knows what the hell is going to happen there in that little moment and time but i predict possibly a little swearing and a child running around in underwear might occur. Then a trip to the shoe shop where it always happens that the assistant will try to sell me two pairs of identical shoes for the boys to wear. Um nope i would like two pairs of shoes that are black but not identical nor do they flash or light up when walking and no black trainers is not part of the school uniform hence why i asked for shoes in the first place. SIGHS. Then if my youngest has not kicked up holy hell i might just get him into the barbers to get a trim on his long mop of a hair. But taking an Autistic child to a shop full of sharp pointy things is a hit and a miss regardless of whether he goes in a good mood or not. So that is tomorrows little challenged set...............







I wonder if i hide under the duvet tomorrow they will just go do all this themselves without me having to attend? Yeah right. I know get a grip girl and get on with it.

My son is so clumsy around the house. He trips up on flat surfaces outside and indoors. He is perfectly sober and yet walks into door frames or he somehows manages to bang his head whilst sitting down. The doctors looked at him when he was little and they said he would grow out of it. Im still waiting and yet everyday he falls over whilst walking up the stairs carefully yet hasnt once tripped whilst running down them. He came second in his sports day this year for running the 800 meter yet he can trip over the front door step when entering the house.

He can play out in the snow for hours on end and not once fall over. But walk outside someplace in public and he will find the invisible pot hole.

Ah he is my son and i do love him but how he does these silly things that i cant see him ever grow out of.

My boyfriend is the exact same way, always has been. He played first base in baseball, played all kinds of other sports and succeeded, but manages to hurt himself even when he's sitting still. I hate that he gets hurt but I love him and I think it's kind of charming. haha

Oh i know you get the urge to go help them. But i cant stop the giggling that goes with it as he blames the door frame for being there or the carpet or something. Its just too funny not to laugh at.
