Busy Mondays & Brogan Hearing test

The schools went back today after the easter holidays, thankfully! But after saying to Brogan all day Sunday to make sure she knew where her shoes & school bag were she came into the living room at 8.15am just as we were getting ready to leave to inform me she can only find 1 shoe!!! You take 2 off, at the sametime so WHY are they not left in the same place & WHY didnt you make sure you knew where they were when I asked you? Grrrrr Couldnt find them either so had to let her wear her trainers to school, suppose its better than bright pink doc martens with bright yellow laces, the girl has a style of her own!

I was SO tired today, Id went to bed at midnight thinking I would get a decent sleep ready to get up early take Brogan to school, oh how wrong was I? Violet decided to wake at 3.30am till 4.30am then 5am till 6am, I then had to get up at 7.30am to get Brogan ready for school, could have cried when the alarm went off, it also woke little madam up as well! Just glad she later went to sleep for 2 hours so I managed to sleep then, so much for starting to catch up on my housework!

Brogan had her hearing test today, it went ok, she passed the test with some hearing loss at low frequencies but that (in theory) shouldn't effect her hearing at speach levels as they were ok, her ears were clear of fluid and wax as well, she didnt seem to rely to heavily on word recognition patterns when being spoke to either, looks like she needs to start to listen more than anything else. She sis say that somedays she an hear fine where others she finds it hard so we have to go back in a few months time to get checked over again. She likes to keep me on my toes with her hearing, she done the samething when she was a baby, passed her newborn hearing screening but failed her hearing test at her 6 week check so had to go back and forth then to audiology appointments, they came back fine then as well, she just likes to ignore people I think!!!!

Me and Brogan done some shopping before we headed home, once in I quickly put the shopping away while instructing her to change into her dance uniform as she has dance class on a Monday evening which starts at 4.45pm, took us ages to drive there as there is stupid roadworks, she got dropped off, then I went home to make dinner before I had to pick her up again at 6.30pm. When we were eating dinner I put some brocolli and cauliflower on Violet's highchair for her to try, she never even attempted to pick it up to eat but played with the blue bowl, apparently it was more interesting, I did put a few pieces in her mouth to see how she got on, seemed to like the brocolli but kept spitting the cauliflower out as soon as I put it in her mouth, dont blame her I dont really like it either, only eat it as it good for you (& helps to my 1 of 5 per day which I rarely manage to get to!) As much as she watches everything you eat & puts loads in her mouth (the socks went in at dinner time, haven't a clue how she got it off, into her hand & up to her mouth while in her highchair, a wee mini houldini I think!) she isn't ready yet to be weaned. She is 18weeks and 4 days today so still plenty of time yet to wean her, she was sort of sleeping through (until the past 2 nights) and is happy on her milk so leaving her just now for a while longer, might let her try little bits every so often so I can judge when she ready.

Got a lot to do tomorrow morning, need to take my gran to the local housing office, her & my grandad live in a council house, the tenancy was under his name so since he has died it needs to be transfered to her name now, loads of stupid forms and now this interview so she can prove she stayed there for at least 6 months prior to his death, seeing as they know she was there I dont have a clue why all this needs to be done, she has herself in a tizz about it all, hopefully we can get it all sorted out tomorrow and thats it over with. Need to call the DVLA as well, I need a replacement tax disk, i couldnt be bothered to put it in the holder I have as you need a screwdriver so used to leave it on the dash but it blew out the window while I was driving today! That will teach me to be lazy I suppose, also need to call the council uplift services, I had then come to lift rubbish from my garden, (my old mattress, some surniture and 9bags of broken toys & general junk!) they lifted most of it but left all the bags so need to call them get them to come back out & lift the stuff, they better not try say its my 2nd uplift of the year as it should have been lifted with the other stuff its not my fault they messed it up!
