Attention: blogurl has changed. Comments above here under siggy.

Woke up this morning with a terrible headache.
Als a soar throat, stuffed nose.
On the willowsill a lot of fine dust.
Who says it's healthy sleeping with the windows open?

I was referred to an organisation that would help with the application for Stef's wished for livingsituation.
Stef has asked me to arrange everything, because he forgets everything.
I was so glad to get some help with all those forms.
They make me feel irritated because I feel pushed into boxes.
I overheard other mothers at psychiatry and they were so very content.

Well I guess you need to be very special or downright stupid to be allowed through the front door.

Got a mail back yesterday: Stef has to apply himself, and they can only inform...

So to be precise: I'm not offered the same help other people get.

Well, I'm going to fill in the forms tonight and send them in.
The information on which livingsituation is best for him is not our decision, because there's almost nothing in the area.
And apart from that....They either grant the application or not.

So I'm very disappointed.

Yinti came home from schoolcamp.
After all she had a great time.
Problem is she labeled her fear for the playevening in the woods, and her stress for the theatre evening, and her tiredness to..homesickness.
That way she was granted a phonecall home every evening.
Smart kid!
She got angry when I told her I understood her game. But she came back and appologised.
Well it makes clear that the teachers are not as observant as they think they are.
Yesterday I heard at the phone that she was tired to tears.
She can't cope with going to bed after midnight.
She's 10!!!!

Well, more about her schoolcamp when the photo's are ready.

Lars brought a mail home about the trip to Spain.
There have been many applications for this free fourteen day journey.
They'll visit graphical industries and bussiness all over the country.
Now they said in the letter that the kids have to come thursday evenings with their parents to a meeting.
Those kids that aren't there are not allowed to go on the trip.
Ofcourse that didn't feel right at all.
So I was ready to jump right on it when Jim told me there was no way he could go.
First he had a meeting and after that dinner and a party because a collegue was leaving.

Even if he would leave after the meeting he still would be too late for the schoolmeeting, as it is in another location and very difficult to reach for people without a car.
So I mailed the school a very good letter.

In the meantime he put the recycling stuff outside.
They were supposed to come after 12. The last time they came a couple of minutes to six.
Now they came one minute past 12!!

Well, the large stuff was already outside so that was great, but the rest was still in the garden, as we're not allowed to put the stuff outside too early.
And the time before last time it was all ready outside, but other people put things to it, and then they wouldn't take it with them anymore.

Well Jim was very angry and kept angry all day.

I really need a bycicle. Djenné has taklen over the second hand one that was bought before the vacation. Part of my hippain is due to that thing.
I need a good bike... but they're expensive. And as I'm at the last mm of the moneystring....
Well, you know that rant.

So it's the cheepest one on sale... I know it's not fitting me well, but what can I do??
Thought Jim would bring one, as the shop is nearby, but not near enough for me to walk.
Last chance today, as he's away tomorrow evening (shopping centre is open then.)

He kept telling me I had to go to the parents evening this evening, but I can't without bycicle.
So it felt like he was rubbing things in... although he just had a PDD-NOS temper.
He kept having a bad mood untill he went to Lars's parents meeting (We had three this evening.).

When he came back he was quiet.

29 C and very humid
