Mammy 1 again cause Mammy 2 appears to have run off with the milkwoman
Yes it is indeed 7.30 of a Friday morning and I am in work! Have to leave early and meet with the kids’s school counseller, oh I am beside myself. She returned to school yesterday for the first time since the incident of walking out and running away and I knew it was going to be hard.
But she stuck it out, although we did get a txt from her around lunchtime going on about everyone picking on her. She hates the school, I know she does, but short of leaving her at home and not getting an education what are we supposed to do with her?
Maybe the meeting today with this woman might shed some light on things. Anyhew, at least its Friday, she’s happy about that.
12,453 pencils were purchased yesterday, she’s big into her sketching or she tells us, she could be using them to make weapons of mass destruction for all I know.
We rented out The tale of Two sisters last night as she wanted to be scared. Little did I realise this would involve a dead arm for most of the night. When she gets scared she tends to grip quite hard on whatever is available. Its a good film, gives you quite a scare as well as having a believeable plot.
It was 12.30 before I got her to bed, as everywhere she went I had to follow. So, it was to the bedroom , then the bathroom so she could brush her teeth and then back to bed where she stressed for an hour over the Junior Cert.
She is werid, she hates school and goes on about hating it, but then she states she can’t study and is going to fail everything when she wants to get straight A’s? I don’t know, I can’t figure her out at all!
And to take a break from that madness, we’re heading down the country to stay with the other mammie’s brother for the weekend..Yay for inlaws! Actual I may have mentioned before the brother and his family are grand, its the mother and her treatment of our relationship, myself and the other mammies that irks me. She’s fine with us being out about everything as long as we do it behind closed doors. I’m her daughter’s ‘very good friend’. If only she knew how good. Ahem couldn’t resist..
Also P is home today from his conference thingy I think, I missed him. I might organise to meet up and go see Gloria doing a choral recital in Dublin Castle on Sunday, I’ll see how the energy levels are.
We’re travelling back from Mayo on the Saturday and heading out for dinner that night with some mates we haven’t seen in ages.
Here’s hoping I have the energy.
There should be some sort of fruit drink out there that you can drink and all of a sudden you have loads of energy to deal with anything the teenager throws at you!
Or maybe a handbook would be good.
On the plus note, went xmas shopping with the Chad yesterday and got the other mammies gift as well as the other sister and one of the kids pressies.
I passed on the subtle hint to the brother that she wanted a hair straightner, needless to say the reaction I got was priceless. Something about what would she be needing that for etc. This was after he rang me to inform me that someone had died down home and he was sure that the kid had went to school with yer man’s brother??
What is with country folk and dying? Mam used to be the same, she’d only ring you when someone popped their cloggs?
Now, I used to live down the country so I know what its like, but surely there’s more to it then wakes and funerals?
Okay, I better finish up, good 2 websites to design and one to update…Oh, I feel so important!
