Day 32 of 33 DONE
Well today has been a pants day! Had my radiotherapy, Vicky told me they would all go into a deep depression after I finished tomorrow - hmmmmm she is fibbing me thinks LOL Walk back to the main waiting room to collect Tony and he's not there! I look around and a couple in there ask if I am lost "no, just looking for the hubby" - "nobody been in here since we got here" they said, "long walk home for me then" I replied just as Tony surfaced.
We walk out to the car and he tells me the school have been on the phone about our eldest. His form tutor informs us that Jack has been consistantly late for registration lately and today when he challenged him about it Jack gave him "a look"(Jack is 15, so all the parents of teenagers out there will know exactly what that look was I think LOL). He went onto moan that he had been ringing our home number and no answer.........Tony explained we were at the hospital and gave him a short version of whats going on..........very apologetic teacher now. Anyway, its no excuse for him being late every day (we all agree on) and apparently he's earned himself a 45min detention.
Now on the way home we start to discuss what we will do and I make the mistake of saying "I don't think its that bad, in the grand scheme of things"...........ackkkkkkkkkkkkk hubby doesn't agree. I didn't say I thought it was OK......but its not like he's doing drugs or beating other kids up or swearing at the teachers and his grades are pretty good.
As you can imagine the debate kinda got personal, hubby always accuses me of having Jack as my favourite child - like there is such a thing. I love them all, equally but differently, Jack was our first born and there is something special in that, Sean is sensitive and loves to curl up on the sofa for a cuddle (Jack would explode before doing that LOL) and I love that in him, even at 13. Lara, hmmmm she is just Lara and no one is going to take her for granted and she is very much a daddy's girl anyway but I love her spirit and the fact she speaks her mind - although I seem to remember Lara having something about flippant facial expressions in her school report when she was 9!!!!!!!!
So I was in tears by the time we got home and got out of the car refusing to kiss him goodbye. Yeah I know cutting my nose off to spite my face. Well a little while ago I get a text - "have you forgiven me yet?".....silly bugger, nothing to forgive, he just upset me thats all and I am best left to my own devices for a while.
So the excitement of treatment finishing tomorrow has been tarnished by the tardiness of my son (I hate lateness.......for any reason and so does hubby).
I have been to Tesco's, walking briskly to wear out the frustration and decided we are having a curry tonight. Easy to prepare, cook and clean up.
Sorry bit of a whingy moany blog today - lets hope the afternoon improves LOL
Thought for today:
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.

I love your blogs, and yes despite the fact Ihave not kids - I do recognise the "look" different in each child but the same meaning. My sisters kids have some classics. One more to go and your done... yippeee. Well done you and your bonce girl.
Couldn't get into blogs yesterday so just read this one (10.39). I understand your husband asking for forgiveness. He will not want you to be upset for too long (I was like that with Ray). That is true and unconditional love for you (omg here come the tears). As for your son, well he is a teenager for goodness sake. He is possibly just testing his boundaries and seeing if it is noticed. Hope you enjoyed your curry. Catch you later x x x Big hugs to you all x x x x x
