Daisy, ugh how awful and how cruel, I am so sorry. I hope your g.son was able to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. The cruelty of children, and bullies especially, is tough. I hope it gets a little less painful with each passing hour and day.
Aly, I’m sorry about the surgeon even if you did get a referral elsewhere. That’s a long time to wait in pain. My heart goes out to you.

Grateful for cooing pigeons or whatever I’m hearing outside my window. (I am uniquely terrible at bird identification )

Well the bullying incident unfortunately hasn't been resolved, big sigh, my heart is heavy and I'm at a cross between angry and sad. My g.son got in from school yesterday and told his mummy and daddy that the main culprit, Yusef, had text his friends and told them how he made him pee his pants. When g.son walked into the classroom several of them made comments about him peeing his pants and others gave him dirty looks!! I could cry, I have cried. Our boy is gentle and kind and despite his difficulties he is a very happy and loved child. My daughter and husband are not sure now of the best way forward with this, they will obviously contact the head teacher on Monday because this has to stop and stop now, but they are also now worried because g.son's year go away on a residential trip next Wed, Thur & Fri and he's been really looking forward to it. Mr D.B wants to go round to Yusef's house and have words with his parents but it's not his place to do that.

I haven't forgotten about you Fearless, just got a busy couple of days. Happy anniversary lovely lady xxxx

(((Daisy))) More hugs for you and your grandson.....how awful! As if growing up and going to school isn't difficult enough....sending good healthy vibes your way that this can be taken care of...

Grateful for hangover-free Saturday mornings and coffee

Numblady

Daisy so sorry.

I guess i’m grateful that I’ve woken up feeling very bad. Raging headache, nausea. Like a hangover but without the drinking. It helps me remember why I don’t drink. Not sure why I feel this way other than maybe a bad night of sleep and a lot of stress. But going to lay back down.
Grateful for all of you. Back tomorrow in hopefully better shape!

Numblady - Do you suffer from allergies this time of year? High pollen count around here & MrHev is feeling it.
Daisy - It's disgusting that the bully wasn't remorseful & didn't take what he did seriously. Praying for something good to come out of this.
Grateful for a beautiful, sunny day finally. But that means yard work. Hmm.
Grateful for the birds to wake me up - even if they are a bit noisy & demanding.
