CD,   Like Jhori said, no need to apologize. Family definitely comes first. Sorry to hear that you are going through such a rough time. Try to relax this weekend, as best as you can Let us know how the meeting goes with the school.   Sarah, Health Educator

No need for apologies, Dee.  We understand completely...family, (kids esp.!), always come first.
 
Oh!  Well, that kind of abuse is something else entirely...I'm so sorry that you and your family have to go through that!  My boss is a doctor in that field, so I'm very aware of the process...at least here in the US, and they tend to be very particular in what they do...they have to be or else lawyers discredit them and their future as a doctor/social worker.  So no one is allowed to make quick judgments, and they have to question very thoroughly...in other words,  it's a painful process, but one you must endure for a little while longer.  Keep up the good fight, things are hard, but family is the one thing that will always be worth the struggle.
 
If you don't mind my suggesting something:  try to make a day where you and your family go out and get in a new environment...zoo, park, shop across town, whatever...somewhere that you don't typically go, to have a break from everything that's going on.  Sometimes this sort of break is just what one needs to clear the mind.
 
The way I see it, you are still doing very well considering everything that is going on.  A million small PA's, and your still taking care of everything that comes your way for your family!  Stay strong, Dee...take care of what you need to and only then...and only if you have time...let us know everything is ok. 
 
We're rooting for you, Momma Dee!
Cheers

Ok guys , im so sorry not to post anything . Im in hell atm .
 
Joe its not that kind of abuse they were instinating . I was horrifyed when my husband told me . School wanted a meeting this wednesday to discuss it . They wanted us to see their school nurse . Well i agreed but didnt want it all internal so phoned our doctors and managed to get her in tuesday . For my piece of mind . It backfired . I came out feeling totally worse with doctors questions . Plus she wanted to examine my 6yr old . Gave permission of course but daughter was sobbng and hardly let her . Then i had to take her and leave her at school afterwards when all i wanted to do was take her home and hug her and make her feel better .
 
Next day my son was so ill , had to take hm to doctors . Turned out he has tonsiltious poor lad . Then doc phoned to ask my permission to talk to the school , of course  gave it .
 
I am in bits ,  my anxiey is through the roof . To top it all have massve problems with two neghbours , which im ignoring but will snap soon . Over somethng else  add .
 
My side is playing up like hell . Lump throated to the max . And so depressed .
 
Sorry to spill off to you lke this , im in a place where i thought i'd never ever be . I am sooooooo protectve of my kids , more than other people  know .
 
Havnt had a majour PA , but a zillion small ones .
 
School cancelled meeting on thw wednesday cos nurse was sick , but she phoned today and we now have one wednesday . I just want it sorted and will say my piece .
 
Once agan so sorry to post and run , yu guys are the only ones who keep me 'sane' and from the bottom of my heart i thank you .

Oh, maaaaaaaan...and we were so close to getting rid of you!  I kid, I kid!!! 
It's great to see you around again, Momma Dee.
 
Sorry to hear about your daughter.  I work with child protective services here in the states, so I can at least say they work on a very thin line.  Meaning if they hear, or see anything, even a scratch on the childs' leg, they have to investigate "by law".  Otherwise they get pinned against the wall with a whole lot of talk about "you could've done more".  Your family sounds like a great one though, and I wouldn't put too much worry into it.  If there is something they see wrong, they typically put a plan in place with you to "correct" it.  Meaning they won't take your child away.
 
You are full of joy!  Sounds like your also full of passion as well, with all that's going on with your neighbor.  In the west coast, here in America, things aren't like that.  Neighbors helping neighbors, sorta deal.  I miss talking to neighbors...everyone here is all shy, sheltered and not too outgoing.  I might try to change some of that.
 
And for helping your kid learn not to procrastinate...my dad used to make me do homework before I could go out and play.  Although I'm still a procrastinator, so I'm not sure if that advise will help any...oops!

Anywho, good to hear from you!  Post away whenever you get a spare moment from all your supermom duties!  And if you don't get a spare moment, then post whenever's clever (I lived with my bro and his family, so I really do understand the duties of a mother never end...even when the kids "supposedly" have gone to bed!)

Hi guys . Bet you thought you had got rid of me . HA , no such luck ! Have had so much go on you just wouldnt believe it . A right soap opera my lifes been this week  .
 
So much trouble in the close where i live . Its been very awkward and has made me extremly uncomfortable . But i hate bullies , my hubby and me have been sticking up for a lovely neighbour/friend who dosnt deserved to be so nastly picked on .
Hoping its going to be quiet this week , the weekend was .
 
Also on Friday my husband was taking to the side office to have a quite word . They are concered about our youngest child . They want her to see the school nurse in a meeting this wednesday . I made an appointment for her to see our own doctor for tommorrow . For what they were insinuating sounded like abuse to me . I went to pieces , as you know its a very touchy subject to me . We watch our children like hawks  and infact are too protective i think .
 
I had a few panic attacks on friday night and saturday night . I still dont feel well but i want this sorted .
 
Im full of joy arnt i ? Good news is that im not in  that much pain at the moment . Im eating just about anything whoohoo . Still cant eat a massive meal but i can eat thats the main great thing .
 
Now im not going to do a runner , i mean post and run . I will be back . My son has just hit me with homework due tommorrow  . How many times do i say not last minute ??? Lol i was as bad as a kid till i learnt it was better to get it over with .
