So much is going on at the minute. It’s Easter holidays from school, and Ellie is booked right up with places to go, people to see and things to do, its hard to keep on top of it all!  I, as always, have a tonne of paperwork that is outstanding and needs to be completed, and I am now having to think very carefully about how I go about dealing with the LEA. You see, they have messed up again, sending confidential information to the wrong person. I really really want to get a solicitor involved, but we can’t pay for any service we have, at the minute we are just flat broke. I am just not sure what I should do.

You know, if other people got on with their jobs correctly, my life would be so much easier. Not easy you understand, just easier.

I have had a few mixed experiences with people recently. Someone who I thought it was worth trying to get to know, has proved to me that actually, they aren’t worth it. I should be pleased I learned this before I got too fond of  them I suppose. It has to be said, I often lament my poor judgement when it comes to people. Some other people have been using me as a sounding board, telling me all about how unfair things are for their children. Uh….hello? You think your kids have a tough time? I am not the person to moan to about this.

I say the experiences are mixed, because in addition to the people mentioned above, I recently met up with an old friend, someone I haven’t seen for 7 years. I have to say, meeting up with her and her family again was just the best fun I had had for ages. He children are lovely, and her daughter got on really well with Ellie, even though at the start of our day she was a little shy. We had such a lovely day out, the only sad thing being that they live abroad, and we don’t know when we will be able to meet again.

Some people just aren’t worth the effort, but every now and again you find people who are truely special. In truth, there are so many people in my life, and only a few are truely special. I hope you know who you are, and if you don’t, I’m sorry I haven’t pointed it out to you. I promise to do better.
