• › Shopping with a person with ADHD is .. interesting.

    Sent two assignments in. Went shopping. Studied more. Made dinner. E is sleeping, and I am in bed.

    Hello my beautiful sunflowers 🌻 Today have been a kinda hard day for me.

    I have studied pretty much all day today. Sent two assignments in plus two that was not an assignment yet. How? From the books. The teacher writes the questions that are in the books as assignments, so I did that. “Wow, it goes fast,” was a comment from my teacher. Funny! So I explained to her why I do so much now. In case my son gets the flu/gets sick, I won’t fall behind so much. Which is true, though.

    I wrote yesterday about the microwave and how it flashed, so it died. It broke my routine for the night, but luckily for me! WE WENT SHOPPING! Woho! We bought a new microwave today so my nightly popcorn can happen again! Happy Emma!

    Why nightly popcorn? I don’t know, honestly. It started this winter that I ate popcorn every night and now can’t stop. Lol! So last night was a bit hard for me 😅 but today I got my popcorn! 🍿 🍿

    While buying the microwave, I decided to buy a new pencil case. Yes, I bought one. Even though I have one but I cant find it now. I have a gut feeling at I have accidentally thrown it away. Not sure though but oh well. I need a pencil case for the studies so, I bought one. $9 😮‍💨 So expensive! My other pencil case is bought for $3. That’s triple the amount. Insane!

    I also “ran” around in the store, looking for stuff and on stuff. I was all over. Even I would have complained if I saw how I was walking around, etc. Lol! No, no one complained but I got a lot of looks, lol.

    Afterwards we went to another store where I bought two new frying pans, a bottle of shower cream, and 😏 an 8-pack of Pepsi Max. Hehe. The addiction is real, people. Horrible, but it’s there. I have found a way, though, to minimize my drinking during the days (no, I’m not talking about alcohol. Only Pepsi Max), and that is I don’t drink out of glasses where I can see how much I have in it. I use my water bottle metallic thermos and drink out of. Works so well! Since I did that, I have not been drinking as I used to! So lets continue and see if I hopefully can minimize it 60% (or more).

    So now my bag is packed with laptop, books, papers, pencil case, extra books that I’m selling tomorrow and tomorrow morning I will pack down chargers for my phone, laptop and headphones.

    Today’s dinner is simple yet so yummy. Even E said repeatedly, “Yum!” “So good!” “Good!” “Yummy.” That made me so happy! He is very selective when it comes to food but thanks to the fact that we have been challenging him a lot when it comes to food, he can eat almost anything. Except soup,which I understand him.

    Maybe it doesn’t look so yummy in the picture, but it was delicious for the tummy.

    Minced meat with red onions & cooking cream. Gluten free pasta for me (I’m gonna try gluten free to see if I’m allergic to gluten) and some vegetables 🥰

    Yes, it looks A LOT on the plate but I could only eat at most half.  🥴 Too much, but honestly, it’s not a lot on the plate. Oh well.

    So im off to bed now. The alarm goes off in five hours 🥴 and honestly, I’m hungry!

    Thursday schedule in school;

    9am – 12am Food and health

    12am/pm to 1pm Lunch

    1pm – 4pm Health pedagogy (is that even the correct word? According to Google translate it is)

    Goodnight my sunflowers 🌻



  • › Countdown has started and iam in my maniac mode of planning

    Countdown has started.. School is soon over and our family vacation is coming up.

    Unfortunately i have missed too much in school, I have to re-study the course again. It sucks but what to do? My son has been sick a lot lately which has made me missed so many classes of the course so I decided to study it again from the beginning. Apparently it is a normal situation for parents who studies this course so I honestly don’t feel ashamed. Math isn’t really my subject I can master but last time I managed to go to school I almost broke down due to how much I have missed and how far ahead the others are compared to where iam so I  at that class restarted my book again, told my teacher and it was fine.

    Countdowns; 21 days til course is over (school) for this semester • 52 days til the vacation.

    I can finally tell you guys about the vacation. I’m honestly nervous. It is the first time we will ever go on a vacation this way with our son. As you might know , our son has autism 3 and is non-verbal so going to Switzerland by car will be a challenge. 

    How come Switzerland? We honestly it was not my idea. We are actually going there with an other family who my husband knows and they suggested Switzerland. For me, I have no idea what to do there. Like I have never ever had any thoughts of going there but here we go. So iam in full massive planning maniac mode right now. Reading online about tips, ideas, recommendations etc on how to travel with a child with special needs. It is so hard!

    Do you have any ideas? recommendations?  What to think of and what not to do, when it comes to travel by car with a child who has special needs?

    This is all new to me honestly. I am very nervous to go this far by car with our son but I am planning where to stop and finding places for E to be able to run and play around at on our trip to Switzerland. Play areas, food stops, adventure lands etc.

    imagine, we are going through the whole entire Sweden, Through Denmark and through Germany to go to Switzerland. We are also planning on going over to Italy etc for day trip and so if possible. A lot needs to be planned and Iam in full maniac mode of planning to make the trip smooth, fixing passports (done), lists, bags, equipment etc.

    Not easy to go anywhere with a special need child . it’s scary but on same time iam excited.
