Did I say no dramas, no chance more likely,
Yesterday I took a half day off from work as
the oldest girls parent teacher meeting was on,
she didn't want to ask her dad to go, she is still
struggling with her relationship with her dad.

I went anyway, she is doing okay, her grades had
dropped a bit, but seemed to be recovering, the amount
of teachers that asked had anything happened to her last
year, as she had gone from being a very quiet girl to a too
quiet girl, she was doing her work, and managing but she
has gone too quiet.

So anyone that had a concern I told the
situtation, and it was harder to tell the teachers than people
I knew, but I was okay, I had had to do it for my younger one
a few months ago, but there were less teachers asking about her,
I guess its because she is newer in the school, not alot of them would
know her personality yet.

Its hard to hear "that explains it so, I'm sorry", but it is
the truth, and she is coming around, I managed to leave a message
with the school counsellor to connect with my daughter, as I know
she needs help, she just wont ask for herself, because she is
socially shy, so I have been assured she will get to talk to her.

When I went home I told my daughter that I had asked for it, and
even though she said, why mam, I knew she was pleased, my poor
little girl.

Does that end the drama of the day, nope,
I went back to work, and was half way through the
afternoon, when I get a phone call, from my son,
telling me the youngest had been hoovering the stairs,
but from the top down, and the flipping hoover fell on
top of her she had a cut and a bump on her head, and she
was panicking and so was he, I told him what to do, and
asked to speak to her, I calmed her down as much as possible
poor little pet, and asked my son did I need to come home,
he said no, he was managing, so I told him I would get
my friend accross the way to come over and check her out,
which she did.

My friend rang back to say she was okay, just more so shook,
and scared, we gave instructions that she wasnt to sleep, even
though I knew she hadnt blacked out or anything, and the bump was
up, not in, so they managed, but it shows the vunerablitly of them
even though my son is 21, and the girls are almost 17 and 14, they
are still my dependents, little people, my babies.

I hate having to work, and having to stay in work,
when I just want to run out the door, but sense has to prevail,
this is not because of him and me splitting, I have been working
full time for the last 6 years, its because of living in the
real, bills have to be paid world.

I kept in touch for the next two hours, I think I drove them mad.
On my way home, I went into a shop, and bought her a bunch of tulips,
she was delighted, it made her up.

The biggest fall out is she says no way am I hoovering again.
My response was well not from the top down anyway, and she replies
no never not again.

I'm letting that one go.
