April 2007 - fun in the sun

[StealthPolarBear]

New thread!

Aaarrgggh Caz that sounds horrible. Don't be embarrassed to come and talk to us when you need support, I totally understand that you have plenty of real life to keep you away from the computer, unlike me at the moment! Of course I don't have advice though Dooby talks sense I think.

Dooby, you're still younger than me (by 2 days!) Sorry you didn't get the job. I hope something comes up from the course (or before or during it).

D was impossible to settle on Sunday night, he went to bed sooner yesterday but dp had to spend a couple of hours with him each night (or it might have been 3 last night) and C is waking up ravenous at about 4 or 4.30 whether or not he's fed at our bedtime. His first two teeth are through his gums, no doubt we'll get the joy of the next ones soon.

elkie - does D still sleep during the day?

bloody hell caz!!!!!!!!!! I don't have any suggestions, I would be scared and cross at the same time.

oooggs, his day time sleep varies a lot - he sleeps more at CM than here but it's not consistent.

only wondered as we had this problem with Jack, so have ditched the daytime nap and he goes to bed fine,

we also put up a small trampoline with enclosure on Sunday so they all go to bed well

Oh blimey Caz, that sounds tricky. I would probably err on the side of taking him in tomorrow, on the basis that he's done nothing wrong, and it shouldn't be him that has to miss out. Especially as that's what the school have asked you to do. If you go in with him, does that mess up your morning in terms of dropping off the little ones?

Yes it does Bramshott......

but I have asked dh to come in early and have the other 4 so I can take him in. I can't possibly have a proper discussion with them all with me... I's a shame he can't come as well, but I think keeping them out of the way is probably more important.

I am taking him in, as I want to talk to them, and I want to hear what has happened/is going to happen, and as you say Bramshott, he has done nothing wrong (bar say some names - the teacher said to me on he phone "between the 2 of us James is a lovely boy, but he really needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut!" I was a bit taken aback at the time - but she is right - he back chats terribly, and always wants the last word..... wonder where he gets that rom??? ), and I think if I kept him off it would somehow make him seem guilty iykwim?

but I am going to keep him with me while we talk, and if I am not 100% happy with what is deided, then I am going to bring him home again.

wish me luck!

Good Luck!
However,being mouthy does not give someone the right to hit you with a bat and threaten to stab you!

Caz, good luck.

Fwiw, I think you are definitely doing the right thing. Best to deal with these things asap so that can be sorted and put to bed so to speak. I imagine you are feeling very nervous, so have a big hug from me

Catch up later. x

Good luck caz, hope it's all sorted today x

Good luck Caz - hope it's going okay. It doesn't get an easier when they get older does it?!? Rather the reverse it would seem.

Thanks for all of your good wishes.

They said that James was not in the wrong. they want to give the boy a 5 day exclusion. He has been excluded a number of times already.

When I left, it was still before registration, and they did not know if the boy was in school. they were still unable to contact his parents.

If he had been there I was going to collect James for lunch, but as I have heard nothing I assume (and hope) he wasn't there.

So it is in their hands atm

Friday is an inset day, so only tomorrow left to cope with this week, and then James is off or all of next week to take cattle to the Norfolk show.

I don't know if they are doing enough..... but also don't know what else to say. Any thoughts?

Oh and the vet looked at my pony yesterday, and said he was all better, so he has been into the field for a couple of hours today

and can start to break him in in about 4-6 weeks!

Hi Caz.Well done today!Very nerve wracking[that's just for us let alone you!]
What happens when the boy comes back?
if they have accepted a child that has had probs in the past...what have they put in place to deak with him.It is not fair to put your son and others in a position like this.
How is Jame's feeling?
and why the heck can't they find his parents?
Have to say it does sound rather wishy washy on their side.
Thank goodness Jame's is off next week and doing something he enjoys
Fab news re pony and again well done.
FWIW We are going to meet ds1's teacher on fri.
Spoke to her weeks ago as ds1 had punched someone[totally out of character for him and he was shocked]This boy and 2 others have been systematically picking on ds1 since he started...teacher is very nice and knew who I was talking about etc.But we feel the nees to go in and have a chat as ds1 still feeling upset off and on....he is no 'angel'and like James can be mouthy but he knows the difference between right and wrong and has a sense of justice and outrage at injustice.
It is damn hard as they get older I think as you cannot keep them with you!
Thanks for all positive responses re job ladies.I start nursing course in Oct and shall keep plugging away,
M might need to have grommets if this dose of antibs and decongestants don't work.I hate GA'S.
Hi to all.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all

Caz I hope you get some firm answers from J's school. Kids like the other boy are part of the reason I gave up teaching.

Glad you're still being positive re work Dooby.

Just toasted my 3rd wedding anniversary with dh. Iris somewhat killed the romance of the moment by doing her best nappy-filling grunting throughout.

Iris = and congrats to you both Mr & Mrs Leaky

Caz - hope all was well when James came home today - keep us informed

Dooby - thats terrible - poor DS1

Bramshott - My mum says the older they get the worse (looking at me when she says it )

Luce - I am lost for weeks, but have you started this week or is this your last week as a SAHM?

I am hot - I have been gardening and have just come into a can of Magners and a packet of crisps now who was my Magners drinking pal???????? Ange, I'm sure it was you

Hurrah - DH is out and I am drinking lager then off to watch Hugh FW on C4+1!

I am out at an NCT pub quiz tomorrow - arggh, what have I let myself in for??!!

Caz - hope J has had an okay day.

Luce - School holidays start up here next week..

I'm ok, off down to mums tomorrow as aunty getting married on Saturday.

Still having health problems, have appointment for a scan at the begininng of July so just need to wait and see I guess.

Apart from that everything seems to be ok, diet is going ok, and am going to join the gym at uni once I get back from the n/e, as its £10 a month

Hows you and yours? Kisses to them all.

notepad, pen, phone, change, id, lunch, tissues. NO NAPPIES/WIPES/MILKY BUTTONS!

Happy anniversary Leaky, lol at Iris
Hope your scan manages to get something sorted out GM, keep us informed
This morning started at 4.18 - I can't take many more early starts...

Hey all!

Sprry, not a lot of time to post, but Caz what horrid situation, but glad it had calmed down a bit now. Think the punishment for this young lady is a bit leinient imho. Guess you have no idea what is going on in his home life to make him behave like that. Very and horrible for poor James and for you and DH. Here if you want to chat. xx

Happy Belated Anniverary Leaky and hubby LOL @ Iris ruining your romance

I've had my nose pierced!!!
