The next step

We have now applied for a place for J in the sixth form at his current school. Wants to do Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Glad he's chosen nice easy subjects.

Struggling today

J was off school Monday went back yesterday but while P was getting our coffee in Costa at the end of a shopping trip the school nurse phoned. He's been off again today but hopefully will go back tomorrow. Meanwhile his Graphics teacher is panicking about his coursework so he's had to do some even though he's been feeling rough. 

Today I've just felt awful, not in any way I can explain, just awful. Didn't sleep well last night. Tomorrow I've got dental and hospital appointments.

Yesterday and the day before I was praising God nearly non-stop but today I'm so tired and it's all just been a bit too much. 

I'm still trusting Him though, just in an exhausted way. I know He loves us and things will work out for us somehow.

I'm glad I've got friends who are praying for us.

Well done J!

Well done J - very good mock results: A* in Maths, Physics and Chem, A in German and Graphics, B in Biology, Art, RE, English Language and Literature. Yes! He got a B in English!!! 
 
Doctor says he has got sinusitis. Antibiotics seem to be helping and this afternoon felt well enough to go and see Gravity.

Why is J ill so often?

J has had a headache for the last few days, I suspect it may be sinusitis following his cold so it's off to the doctor after school.

I was looking back through my January blog entries and in 2011 I was asking 'Why does J get so many illnesses?' I'm still asking. We make him eat vegetables and take vitamins. He's getting really fed up with it himself now and it's not good when he's trying to keep up with GCSE work. His attendance figures are the worst they've ever been.

He saw a paediatrician about it once who said it was because he was an only child with a disabled mother. Thanks. That really helped.

Hope he's done ok

What I'm thinking is that I wish I had come to some arrangement with J whereby he would text me his exam results so I wouldn't have to wait until we pick him up. 

Not that I'm that bothered or anything.

J if you read this (which you probably won't cos it's boring) even if you've got all Us I still love you to bits.

Results

Tomorrow J gets his mock GCSE results. I feel ridiculously nervous.

Sorry about my boring life

J says my blog is boring and he's right. Perhaps I should sign up for some bungee-jumping or parachuting and make it a bit more exciting.

So back to my mundane every-day existence. This morning was one of those mornings I wasn't sure I could actually face the day but P gave me a hug and I knew we had to go and get Mavis and take her to the coffee morning so I forced myself to get a grip. We picked up Mavis, she got in the car and promptly fell out again! She wasn't injured but her glasses were broken. As she said, she has a lot of padding.

So that's it, this morning I managed to get out of my door, Mavis fell out of our car, I drank some fruit tea and tried to persuade Mavis that the health insurance she's got isn't worth it (apart from anything else she doesn't know how to make a claim, she has a host of pre-existing conditions and there's a £500 excess, she's paying £91 a month for this). I came home had sardines on toast and tried to encourage a friend on facebook who's probably depressed. I've also been praying about the Syrian peace talks and for J who's at school but still not well (why does he get so much illness?) and I've tried to tidy up a bit.

Ok end of boring morning.
