Ok I admit it I am addicted

Well folks I have got to admit it I am totally hooked on reading lots of Blogs ( is it addicted or just down right nosey cant make my mind up)
Well had quite a nice weekend so far Rebekah went for tea to a friends on Friday night which gave me time to go and have my hair done in peace and quiet lol. Today we had a cub competition in the morning where the Cubs had to do bases such as pioneering, first aid, fire lighting, map and compass, home safety, road safety and tracking they all had a brill time and our team came 2nd ( Well done lads ), this now means we get to go on and represent our district in the county competition in June.
Next we went to the football and Blackburn beat Charlton 4 - 1 so that was good, went to Asda thanks to my sis who took me and then had KFC for tea.
Tomorrow hubby and two step children are out for the day so just me and Rebekah to do as we please ( how lovely )

Going to add a list of blogs I read so check them out they are such a bunch of talented people

catch up

What a week we have had and I feel I have had no time what so ever to sort stuff out but here is a quick catch up.
We had our meeting at school and to be honest it went really well as I was half expecting to get in there and be told " Rebekah will have to get on with it " but the Head Teacher was really good and supportive she said we needed to unpick all this with Rebekah as we don't want a school phobia and we need to get back the Happy little girl who left infants in July.

I was told that she is ok once in class but that doesn't help us when she is making herself sick and crying in a morning. So these are the strategies we are putting in place
  1. Rebekah is going into class a little earlier than the others as she has a really important job to do ( you know the ones that the school could just not continue if she didn't do it )
  2. The N.T.A in the class has become her "mentor" who she can go to for a cuddle and a love and just a hold of the hand if that is what she feels she needs.
  3. The Family Liaison teacher ( who is brill) has an ever open door for her to pop down and see and chat to and hug if needed
  4. The teacher has been told that Rebekah just needs a little more recognition in the class and made to feel more at ease ( i.e rub on the head in the morning and a "hi how are you this morning")
  5. And the Head said we should let Rebekah know we have had the meeting so she knows we are all trying to make it better for her.
  6. Another meeting has been set for next Friday (4th May) with Rebekah so we can see how she feels and she can help us make it better.

So hopefully things will be on the up she hasn't cried this week apart from Monday although it wouldn't take much to push her over the edge but a least we are making progress ( fingers crossed) So that's were we are at.

Thanks to all for their support I have had some lovely messages on various forums i visit it just helps knowing there are people i can chat to if i feel the need.

Back to school Blues

Some of you might be aware of the trouble I was having with Rebekah and not wanting to go to school ( she has been making her self sick and crying that she was not well enough to go) This has been going on for a while now and although we have been working with the family Liaison teacher and we did seem to be making some progress we have been knocked back to step one today when she went back to school. I have had to literally push her into the car whilst she is crying and trying to make herself sick and all in all have had one bad day. I have been in touch with school today with the head teacher and arranged a meeting tomorrow , I am really at my wits end I don't know what to do anymore for the best. Sorry to bore you but feel better just "talking" about it

how long till next school holiday ??????????????????

Only Joking !!


Well been back to work today after the Easter hols and its like I have never been away. We have had some work done at nursery and its fantastic even though not completely finished it looks so modern and light its like being in a new building so happy bunny.

Went to the football yesterday and I am sorry if your a Chelsea fan but we were beaten by a referee and a team that couldn't keep on their feet ( there got it out my system now lol )

Big kids went back to school today but Rebekah not back till Thursday so fingers crossed she will be ok

Right off to bed absolutely shattered

Sorry

Hi been a while since i blogged sorry but time just seems to slip away from me ( I cant believe its nearly the end of the Easter Hols) Well what have we done well
  1. Rebekah finished school last Wednesday
  2. Went to Ikea on Thursday
  3. Friday Easter activities at Rufford Old Hall
  4. Saturday was football
  5. Sunday egg hunt followed by church then i cooked for 11
  6. Went to Lake District to a friends and called to see H's shop ( the sign is just brill)
  7. Cubs tonight where we made fires and cooked twists

Oh yes and in between all this we have put new laminate flooring down and swapped all our rooms round ( mad or what !!! )

On a sadder note some of you may be aware of the trouble I have had with Rebekah and her not liking school well she broke down in tears today ( just after buying some new school bobbles) saying she didn't like her teacher and that he frightened her I really don't know what to do it makes me so sad I just want her to be happy, but don't know how to help.

Any way hopefully will be able to talk a little to her before she goes back as she still has another week yet

Easter Passion

Tonight we went to school to watch Rebekah in the Easter Passion Production it was fantastic!!!! and I am not just saying that because Rebekah was in it but it was. The teachers had worked so hard it was all done to music and modern music and the children had learnt all the words to about 10 different hard songs. Well done to all of them.

Bit behind the times in the technology stakes here but I have finally got an Ipod I have had my mp3 player for ages but now I have moved up in the league of music and have a snazzy pink ipod lol

Been thinking about a friend today off a crafts forum i go on who was opening her shop today selling food so if you read this H have been thinking of you and hope all went well. Also glad to read my Raks had been received.

Right off to bed now
