New beginnings

Tomorrow Jay gets a tutor. It makes his illness more official, though we know it's real enough. But to have a tutor come to the house to help him with his school work is a scary thing. We don't know yet how many hours a week he'll have, but whatever he gets has got to better than the "nothing" that he's been doing these past few months.

Beadie is ill again - she's been off school 3 times with tonsillitis since December, and now she has a nasty cough. I desperately want her back at school, but it's hard when she sees Jay staying home week after week after week. I wish both kids could understand how important a good education is. I don't want them to struggle through life later on, the way that Paul and I are now.

What a great way to start blogging - misery and sorrow LOL. But at least if I moan here, I'm not moaning to my friends - cos no-one knows that I've set up a blog, so, really, I'm talking to myself. If anyone "eavesdrops", that's their problem!!

Seriously though, apart from the kids being sick, the fear of our house flooding again, Paul's illness and unemployment, the fear that we might lose the house because we can't afford to pay the mortgage, mum and dad both having dementia, and me having to have a tooth out tomorrow, which I am dreading more than childbirth - life is great! My projects on Google Earth are getting lots of kudos and I'm so happy to be a mod on there - gives me something to get up for each day!!
