Morning All,

Was up stupidly early, just couldnt sleep properly. Ive already got a load of washing in.

Ive got a cup of coffee and im listening to kisstory on the web. Going to start sorting my room and get dressed. Joes got his tutor coming round another thing missed from my budget. Going to redo that too.

Joes already up too, driving me mad about asking if he can watch telly - hes on a ban so cant.

Off to my dads for the afternoon after Joes tutor so maybe i can get some sun on my legs, there so pale.

Going to do some comps for half an hour so so. Positive thinking

Afternoon,

Manic at work, cant wait until pay day tomorrow. Usual train fair.

Another bad day for Joe not sure whats up with him. Looking forward to CAHMS kind of. I know they wont have the answers staight away but its a start to finding out if Joe does have anything wrong or if its just becuase he is a stroppy little git.

Ive also decided that im not going to phone the childminders anymore, it stresses me out while im at work and i cant afford to lose the job at the moment. Its not that i dont care, just that i care too much and it really upsets me when i find out that he has had another bad day.

ok,

I posted over the weekend about wether the community support officers would be able to come and talk to Joe about his actions at school - the violence and shouting at teachers etc.
Well the community support people have just phoned me back and they can come round and talk to Joe about his actions. I am holding fire until after the meetings with CAHMS. But it is in the pipeline.
They wont shout at him or anything but will explain to him about what can happen, the wrong road. And maybe 2 men in uniform will make Joe think about his actions.

I feel so evil just talking about doing this. But i really do believe its all behavoural and not because Joe has anything like ADHD / aspergers etc. But if Joe wont listen to me or his grandad or teachers i need to try something else.

Morning,

Didnt get to sleep til gone 1 last night, just had to much going on in my head i think.

Didnt get into work early either - but it is pay day and ive been naughty already and bought a black dress from tescos for £12. It was needed as its so hot and all i have are jeans or balck trousers. Its quite smart and im going to wear it to the meeting tomorrow at CAHMS.

In a strange way im quite looking forward to it, ive already asked the school for Joes full record so i can take that with me. Ive also asked for some examples of his work to take so they can compare it with what he gets done at home and with his tutor.

Its the start of finding out what the hell is wrong and thats got to be a positive in the long run. Im hoping that CAHMS will agree to see Joe at school too.

Good luck for tomorrow

Best of luck tomorrow. I hope you finally a decent result. One really good thing is that they will all see how loving and caring and committed to Joe's future you are.

Well im, not dressed yet but washed and ready to. If i put a black dress on now i will get covered in cat hair!

Shouldnt really cost that much today, going to out £5 on my oyster card so we can get the bus there. Joe is going to school after as ive got to go back into work - VAT return - not fun.

Ive got all of Joes reports ready, all in date order from when he started nursery. Im hoping they can make sense of them as reading them i still dont know how we got here.

Going to get of of here now and dry my hair. Will be back later tonight when i get home to update.

Will be keeping an eye out for your update and keeping my fingers crossed for you today that they will at least be semi helpful!
You are doing the right thing, and good on you for getting together the reports and things.
Perhaps this way, they will stop seeing the behaviour as being an issue at home and realise that perhaps the lad needs just a bit of extra support!
Good Luck!

Morning All,

Well the meeting went ok yesterday. It looks like Joe doesnt have autism, but poss ADHD / ODD. But its not looking likey. As Joe can chose when he wants to work / behave well. They will be getting back to me in the next couple of weeks. But they have suggested parenting classes, i have said if they think it will help i will. Maybe i should ask if his teachers can come too, lol.

Got into work about 1.30ish yesterday, so need to make up my am hours otherwise my pay will be down.

Normal spends today, yesterday i put £9 on my oyster card and spent £5.18 in the coffee shop with joe on a sarnie / cake and coffee and water for Joe. We shared the sarnie and cake. It was quite nice to just sit in the sun.

Need to update sigs and post new budget as the one above is not going to work! Will do that tonight if i can face the computer.

Edit - CAHMS didnt even want to look at Joes record
