Its been a tough few days with a certain nearly 13 year old. lots of rows, shouting and such like. At one point he was so cheeky I ran after him (didnt know I possessed so much energy!) Forced my way into his bedroom and forced the x-box control off him . I gave it to Mr Cinders to take to work so he couldnt have it that day. On Saturday Josh was so badly behaved that he was banned from going to his friends, the pictures and a sleep over that day. Mr Cinders and I are determined we're going to knock this bad behaviour and disrespect out of Josh. We MEAN Business!! We've rowed all week about him helping at home so by Teusday I told him that if he didnt make his own breakfast and lunch and empty the dishwasher everyday during the hols I would refuse to cook him any meals and I wouldnt do his washing so he's have no clean clothes. I think, after he saw how ill he made me Tuesday after all the rowing, that the message is finally sinking in. Its taken until today, the last day, for him to get some food and empty the dishwasher on first asking only!!! he is such a lazy boy that he'd rather starve, eat crisps than make a butty or open some spahetti hoops.
The worst is that I've knitted my first ever charity hat in my own ,hand dyed yarn, for the Mirasol project. I'd left the hat in the lounge and found it cut on Tuesday. apparently josh had done it in a fit of temper when he was grounded on Saturday!! needless to say I'm fuming. I'm going to see if I can oversew it somehow.
anyway, back to school on Monday. Hurray!! if he's like this now, heaven knows what his teenage years are going to be like. But he now knows whos boss!!!
The FM SAGA
Well last week was a disaster! I was in bed monday , Tuesday and Wednesday exhausted and in pain. I didnt go to sleep until 6am Wed morning and I was in aboiling hot bath at 3am not knowing where to put my body. This despite morphine and tramadol!! i didnt sleep too well Wed night either and was to be found in the bath again at 3am Thursday Morning. Then I had a bright idea!! I was taking Amytriptilene for the sleeplessness until The early days of last year. I stopped it as I felt as though I was sleeping o.k and it makes you put on weight so it stopped it. So Thursday morning I rang my GP and asked if I could try it again to tide me over this flare. I slept like a log Thursday night!! and so did Mr Cinders!! It made me realise just how badly I have been sleeping these last 9-10 months or so, so I'm going to stay on it until after the Barmitzvah which is 9 weeks away! EEEKKK!!
I felt really good at the weekend and on Saturday night we had a lovely Valentines meal at a local Bistro Pub- very yummy indeed.
Then Tuesday I went to Manchester and spent 2 hours on Kendals (House of Frazer) trying on posh outfits. I look an absolute bugger in most if it!!! I did see one thing but wasnt sure so I'll keep looking. Most outfits are made for tall willowy girls not small dumpy weeble looking people like myself!
Now ofcourse I feel desperately exhausted again. Still I'm hoping to go to The Trafford Centre tommorrow and investigate some designer shops and see what Debenhams have got.
Sunday we're off to Leeds to see SAm. He has actually requested our presence!! So for all his bluster and bravado about loving being away from home, he still misses us!
Nice bits
The highlight of the week was watching U2 play at the opening of the Brits. on TV ofcourse! that cheered me up, though of course wouldnt you just know my parents rang just as it was about to start so they got a very breif conversation!!! Sods law isnt it when theres something you've been looking forward to!
othe than my meal out and a shop the rest has been poo!!!
Knitting
There was the Mirasol hat, and Mr Cinders sock still in progress and I cast on a gorgoeus floaty shrug from the French Girls Knits Book. I must take photos. Its in Gold KId Silk Night.
I tried spinning yesterday and it killed my legs and my energy went so no spinning for me for a feww eeks now.

Keep on Josh, I think I gave up too soon and my now 20 something boys are still lazy.
I am so sorry about the hat fiasco, I hope you can repair it. I think I'd be one son less after that. Not really, but still...
I hope you're feeling better and find the perfect outfit. Sleep is worth more then GOLD if you ask me.
Sorry you are having such problems, I can really sympathise. I have a 17 yr old girl who was hardly any trouble and a 15 yr old girl that has had me under at least 4 different psychiatrists. Last year I called the police out to scare her as she wouldn't stop stealing money from us, it worked ( I think ). Still have attitude problems though and some days I really could kill her, won't but I could. I have days where I can't be in the same room she's in.
Hang on in there, it must get better.
Best advice I had was from a psychiatrist, when I said I didn't love or even like my daughter she said 'who says you have to, just care for her' that took alot of pressure from me.
I'll be thinking about you.
I have a 13 year old that I'll trade with you...lol....I feel your pain.
Sorry bout your FM it does suck doesn't it....the one thing I know for sure is that everyday in a horrible flare is one day closer to the flare being over.
Keep your head up!
The only way to correct your Josh is to whup the hide ooff, never did me any harm. Kids these days lack discipline I don't really care about the Gov saying its child abuse, its not. When the child is naughty and won't do as he's told wup his I would its the only way to make him see sense. When I was naughty my dad took his belt off and tanned my hide, you can be sure I never did it again I became a better person. As for the Fybro sleep is better than anything, if you can get a couple of good nights sleep then you feel refreshed and so full of pep. Leeds has nice shops but its way too far to go, don't worry you'll find a really nice outfit that will suit you real good, I'll say a prayer to my friend St Anthony for you you can be sure he will find you something nice, he never fails to find my lost things. Chin up its Spring well it is in my garden the snowdrops are up in profusion, which means warmer weather on the way no more SAD features eh?

Hope things pick up with Josh, I have a 13 year old daughter so I understand completely! I also need to tell you that the Angel Yarns forum is no more, it has been closed down. A new forum called phoenix knitters has been created and they are asking where you are. Hope you find your way over and join the new forum. Love Saira. xx
The 40-year old female in this particular case had been experiencing fibromyalgia symptoms for eight years and had been taking both prescription and non-prescription medications, with little success in treating the problem or its symptoms. The patient underwent a thorough chiropractic exam, and a trans-neuronal dysfunction to the right cerebellum was noted and a diagnosis made. Subluxations were also noted as a result of the examination.
