Did not enjoy the journey (sorry Irish Ferries - weather not their fault obviously), thanks to yes, a bumpy boat ride, no Joy Rides (the best sea sickness tablets bar none in case you think I paid a sneaky visit to the local head shop) and an hour spent in roadworks 'congestion' - last time that happened I went back on the smokes. I only got us all to my Dad's house in one piece thanks to Red Bull, loud music and blasts of cold air to keep me awake and focused. My Dad has a downstairs bedroom for Smiley and as the family can help me - my brothers live nearby - my back has been getting a bit of a rest.
Been reading the other posts on Facebook and it seems that school holidays and Aspergers don't mix well. Take the child away from home and the behaviour gets worse... Here's a few quotes from CD:
"I'm way tooooo sick!"
- on not eating or drinking on the boat or after; he knows how much that worries me.
"I hate my sister. She has to move out, I cannot live in the same house as her anymore!"
- random reaction to going to the supermarket. Said very loudly with passion over and over till I took him outside and said we would stay there until he stopped.
"This is the worst Wifi ever."
- on trying to watch Youtube at Grandad's house.
"We're going back to Dublin tomorrow if you can't make the Wii work!"
- the correct AV sockets were cleverly hidden behind a panel on Grandad's telly - he'd never needed them before...
Ooh and in case you're new here, CD is 8 years old, not 2.
Note: no PR freebies influenced this post - I'm just mentioning stuff I like. Not that I'd necessarily say no to freebies....
Lol at the sister comment, sorry, just had to laugh. I have an eight year old too and he can be very dramatic at times. I hope the rest of the trip goes well, enjoy:) Jen.
ReplyDeleteBrill!! I am glad you captured these here on the blog to torture him with in years to come! Good luck with the return, be safe x
ReplyDeleteGlad you got there in one piece and are enjoying a bit of a break. CD's comments are funny, can't believe he's 8 already!! Hope the return ferry is less rough. x
ReplyDeleteYour family sounds lovely, and I really hope your back is improving.
ReplyDeleteThe sniping drives me crazy too, but it DOES make for funny reading afterwards XXX
Thanks everyone, having a great time and I just can't believe the weather :D Great to see the family and they help me cope with the moments of high drama...
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ CDs comments :) I really should write some of the gruesome twosomes comments down for posterity too hehe Enjoy the rest of your hols xx
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo funny Blue Sky! I know the hols are hard but you do have to laugh!! Great idea to do a blogpost on the things they say. I hope to make my "WiiBoy Words of Wisdom" a series!! Hell... I could make a book of the things he says, if I was only quicker at noting them!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting a break and hope your back is better soon. Mind yourself.
And you are not alone on the travel sickness! I am sooo bad and won't go by boat because of it. Only thing that works for me is Dramamine and they knock me out! Think WiiBoy strating to develop car sickness too.

Ahh, haven't you learned that you can't separate an eight year old from their WiFi??
ReplyDeleteI can see my son making those same comments!
I wish I had written down some of the crazy things my kids came up with, but I missed my chance!
