Which isn't to say I don't wish we had an attic sometimes ;) Ah no, you see, I’m a teaching assistant – I chose the breakdown-free life: I don’t get paid very much but I don’t get all the stress teachers get!

Granny; TAT should be sleeping in the Jalopy more like! Baino; Thanks dude :) We all have our different things to bear, sure mine's no different to anyone elses, just takes a different form. As for venting, that's what the blog is for! (Unexpected 2am Skype chats notwithstanding :) The Jelly Monster; Thanks, that's a good buzz. Jenny; Yes but I wonder how you could be a teacher! That's got to be a bigger challenge... at least I can lock my kids in the attic. Wait. Did I say that out loud? Therese; Hiya - thanks for leaving a comment, and reminding me (shudder) about Cluny... I still to this day feel a deep seated need to cross the street when I see one coming. Stoic. Ha! Holemaster; Seams of gold... such a cool version of the silver lining. Permission to steal that sometime in the future?! Unstranger; Haha... careful! Somebody will be changing your nappies and listening to your nonsensical rantings too someday!! Susan; Oh best of luck with the travelling, I hope the equal but opposite reaction is very noticeable indeed and you have a great time away. Look back and laugh, it's all you can do, really.

Our kids are over-stressed now from the impending travel, and in autism that just translates to constant screaming and shrieking and mayhem. My nerves are shattered and we haven't even left yet. I'm so tired. I've had those exhaustion-giggles before too; they're bliss! And your insight was wonderful to read. Keep it up girl! Look at all these people cheering for you!

Glad you can recognise them when you strike one. I believe parents who have special needs children were chosen specially for their love and caring. Little joys of life are like seams of gold.
