Yn ol - Back


Dyma fi eto yn ol yn bloggio am fy nheulu gwallgo. Wedi cael seibiant am wahanol resymau ond nawr mae bywyd wedi dychwelyd i ryw fath o normalrwydd mae'n amser i fi ail-gymryd yr awennau i ddifyru fy nghynullfeidfa enfawr.

Pawb yn y teulu yn iach ac yn hapus. Mae Sinead (9 oed erbyn hyn) yn brysur iawn y dyddiau hyn rhwng pel-droed, 'brownies' ac athletau. Mae Carwyn (13 erbyn hyn) wedi gwneud yn andros o dda yn ei ysgol uwchradd newydd gyda chymorth yr uned awtistig yno. Mae'n anhygoel cymaint mae'n llwyddo o gyflawni mewn ysgol uwchradd gyda safon iaith o leiaf 4 blynedd tu ol ei gyf-oedion. Mae Tomas (15 oed ac bron mor dal a finnau) yn ymdopi gyda'r ysgol heb lawer o frwdfryfedd, ond pa blentyn 15 oed sy'n frwdfrydig mewn ysgol? Mae e'n cywno bod gwaith cartref yn amharu ar ei amser hamdden!

Mae Mary wedi gweithio caled iawn eleni i sefydlu'r uned awtistig (yr un mae Carwyn ynddi) ac erbyn hyn ar ol 6 mis heb lawer o gymorth gan y prifathro yno yn gweld ffrwyth ei llafur yn y ffordd mae'r plant yn llwyddo i integreiddio i mewn i weithgareddau a gwersi y prif-ffrwd. Fy hunan dw i wedi cael blwyddyn iawn gan ddysgu mwy o wersi Technoleg Gwybodaeth sy'n siwtio fi i'r dim. Dw i wedi gwneud llawer llai o waith gwleidyddol sydd wedi fy nghadael gyda llawer mwy o egni i wneud pethau fel mynd i'r 'gym' ar fy niwrnodau heb waith ac bod a mwy o egni i'r teulu. Mae'n bwysig i drio ffeindio cydbwysedd mewn bywyd.

Pob hwyl i bawb.

Here I am again blogging about my mad family. Had a break for a number of reasons but now that life has returned to some sort of normality it's time to grasp the nettle again to amuse my enormous audience.

Everyone in the family is healthy and happy. Sinead (9 years old) is very busy these days with football, brownies and athletics. Carwyn (13) has done extremely well in his secondary school with the support of the autistic unit. It's amazing how much he succeeds in achieving in a secondary school with a language level at least 4 years behind his peers. Tomas (15 and almost as tall as me) is coping with work in school without much enthusiasm, but what 15 year old child is enthusiastic in school? He complains that homework interferes with his leisure time!

Mary has worked very hard in setting up the autistic unit (that Carwyn goes to) and by now, after 6 months without much support from the headteacher, is seeing the fruit of her labours in how well the children are integrating into lessons and activities in the mainstream. Myself, I have had an OK year in school teaching more IT lessons than usual, which suits me. I have much reduced my political activism which has left me a lot more time on my days off to relax and do healthy things like swim or go to the gym, it's also left me with more energy for my family. It's important to get a balance in life.

Good luck to everyone.
