There was a time when I aimed for 6,000 a day and managed it without a struggle, but it's tough juggling home school, tantrums, housework and all the other joys of life as well as the writing these days. Still you can only do your best I guess so I try not to get to down about it. Happy new year and I hope it's a great one for you Tyrean.

A diagnoses is definitely the next step, as we really need to find out what is going on with Kye and how best we can help him. It's a scary process, but worth it if it means we can help find away to make Kye the smiling happy boy he was when he was little. Right now I think his frustrations at not being able to fully express himself make it really tough for him to cope with everyday life.

My doc can't believe my cholesterol isn't out the roof, but it isn't - however, I still need to get the weight off so I can do all the active things I used to love to do with my family. (These days, I've been sitting on the sidelines a lot.) <br /><br />And, I'm glad that you've turned a corner with your son - it sounds like you had a tough year, but you've weathered it and that's awesome! I think our kids learn from those experiences - when we don't give up on them, they learn not to give up on themselves, too. <br /><br />6,000 words a week is an awesome goal - and sounds about similar to mine, except maybe more manageable since you've made it a weekly goal. <br /><br />And, wow - steam engines sound like fun. :)<br /><br />Wishing you the best in 2016!Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765179511723604771.post-73667110783792736292015-12-31T06:49:16.106-08:002015-12-31T06:49:16.106-08:00Congrats on your weight loss, although keeping it ...Congrats on your weight loss, although keeping it off has been your real achievement. Good luck for your next 3 stone.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your struggles with your son. A diagnosis is so important to allow you to access the help you need - so I hope that happens asap.<br /><br />Happy New Year :-)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
