Today was a sh*t day. S3 was crying on the lounge before school with an ear ache. So drop off was the order of the day followed by a trip to the doctors. So that was sorted, home again to begin convalescence. You know that a sick child turns your whole day around and nothing planned gets done. Then we had tears in the afternoon about me borrowing the $20 in his wallet. Then school finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M1 was very evasive and unsure about the sport day changes with the ARL clinic visiting the school. So I approached his teacher to clear it all up. THEN THE FUN BEGAN. The homework issues that I thought were under control are totally not! Lazy was one of the words used, as was not being able to find his "currency" to bribe him with. As was the issue of him sitting out second lunch on Friday to complete his homework and he still didn't do it!! So again on Monday this time he managed to complete it. Then the teacher bought up the "farting" problem M1 seems to have. Now I have heard stories about this from both M1 & other mothers of children in his class. I know he does have a problem in this area, but I hoped the talks about not wanting to be the smelly child with no friends talk had done something? Apparently not, the teacher wanted to know Does he have a medical problem? Apart from being able to make his mother want the ground to open up and swallow her, I'm thinking a trip to the doctors is a real necessity. As is drinking for the mother!! How can I have children so different? At least the other mums can get a laugh. The are you wearing undies question has now gone to the next level, are you wearing undies? yes, Are you sure, please check. Oops I forgot. Again with the drinking. Some days are better than others. Where do I go from here? Do we go back to the child shrink, a bum doctor, or some new doctor I haven't yet had the pleasure of giving large amounts of money too?? God tomorrow has to be better. Hope your day was better and smelt better than mine. I did have a good weekend, but that's another blog for later.

It's alright love, I'm always here with a cheap bottle of wine if you need me. Unfortunately I know exactly where you are coming from with this one. Good luck.

Hey There the One With the Patience of a Saint,
I am sure that we are sent all of these little hurdles to jump. Luke has mentioned the fart issue. Do you just think it is a case of him thinking that it is funny???? I think that it may have been funny in younger grades and maybe even made him feel popular with kids laughing at him. It may be worth checking out as it may be just something really simply like a food he is eating.
Hang in there. Love your honesty. We all have shit days, weeks, months ect. I'm sure that it will all pass (no pun intended) and you can smile again. Don't kill them in the mean time. If you want help with the homework he can sit with Luke a night a week if that would help???? Happy to help out if we can. Will chat more at school.
Enjoy your timeout tomorrow. Eat like there is no tomorrow.
Always about if you need a chat. There are better days ahead.
Love Ya Long Time
Rell
