Heat and plenty of cold drinks to keep my energy and trying to arrange my sons education

Why is it when your life is following a great path and everything plateus out another spanner comes flying into the works? It’s been so hot and I will tell you what’s been going on recently which will explain my first sentence. So it’s been absolutely boiling I hope your all enjoying the sun 🌞 but personally it’s been rather hot for me to get comfortable at night hence being awake at 02.37 am . Mum has been to visit but bless her she has been unwell with vertigo so it’s been hard to see mum and dad but every piece of time is like a golden nugget as they live in Essex. The last few weeks it has been really difficult,  Our gorgeous son is taught by and independent teaching agency for the last two years. Everything they have done has brought our 16 year old son up to speed with other kids of his age . The way the week was set out was great and the best environment for Caleb to learn. We have been told that the education panel that funds our son won’t be funding him for the independent teaching agency .
We have been told Caleb needs to be affiliated to our local college for two days a week . I did everything I was told and signed my son up for a music course . After a few days or so we found out n the phone they were not funding his courses for the following year . Caleb was studying a step up to English Bronze and silver and was about to study gold . In mathematics he had achieved bronze and silver but working towards functional skills. In science it’s difficult because you can only do a couple of levels and then I think it goes to GCSE work . The other subject he was doing when his hours were put up was History which was research in crime and punishment over the years until the current day. Caleb has Receptive and Expressive language disorder so everything he does is a challenge for him with regards to writing , spelling , time and numbers. For us loosing his teachers was a complete shock and we really wasn’t prepared for them going with only a weeks notice but only because I phoned to ask why we hadn’t received notification of wether his funding was being provided  ,  The teachers involved with his education had worked tirelessly but carefully unlocking things we didn’t know educationally about our own son due to schools not giving information .We found he has an incredible imagination and he has wrote the most amazing stories with so much detail and thought that goes into the research before the story is put together and his skill set with that was amazing  .Also he seemed to have a passion for media and current affairs which is very similar to me we like to discuss things going on in the world . Caleb loves to watch people that research country’s and seeing beautiful places but he is fond also of mythology and fantasy and luckily he hasn’t lost that side.  In science we found he was much more interested than we thought in knowing how things operate and looking into science . Since he was young he always collected stones and minerals and fossils and could tell everyone what each one was . The teacher asked us if we accepted them doing a gardening project . Both of them planted things like varied vegetables,herbs and fruit. Every morning and evening he has been great and just going out and watering the plants religiously and if he caught us looking out the window he would have the biggest smile 😊. It was great to see him looking happy as most of his friends since his M.E had lost interest and didn’t come to visit with the exception of 4 boys . The only thing is having M.E is people get bored especially other kids that don’t understand.



More to do later as I’m a little tired as I have M.E and I will come back to finish


 courses have only funded our sons education for the year and only offered help for two days in the week which amalgamates too whole day. The college is great but additionally I hoped Caleb would be offered English, mathematics, science and history which he had been learning over the last two year s. Caleb should be offered the basics due to the fact they he has A by the war the

After breast Cancer /what we were like and now

What we looked like 2 years ago  Post -Cancer Blues  The one thing i wasn't prepared for was Post Cancer Blues !!! I  really thought i dealt with the whole situation very well i hardly cried throughout the cancer progress and chemotherapy . Then the brick wall came with full force when all of my treatments stopped . I cannot tell you how many times i cried in a day because it was so many times .I wasn't prepared to have a complete melt down. Please prepare yourself for the possible onslaught of this . I thought i would be absolutely fine and ready to up and go again . I  was so far from the absolute truth . I thought in my mind that i would feel relief but in honesty i think i was struggling knowing what i had just been through . I felt lucky to still be alive but i couldn't get into doing anything i may of done before . i struggled picking up the phone , writing letters , functioning at good pace. every day was a fight with myself .  I felt vul...

My sponsored children with World Vision and Children International

Just recently i took the plunge to sponsor with two new organisations to our family after so much stress with another organisation. It was lovely to be treated with so much love and care and respect and so easy to pay . One thing is nice is that you can sponsor any child that you would like to. I took time in sponsoring because each child is a blessing and mostly with the guidance of God I was able to patiently think things through. I knew if I was meant to sponosr the children I had seen then they would still be there for me. First of all sponsored 2 children with world Vision. My first choice was Ana Clara who was pointed to by a friend who sponsors with many other organisations. I had seen another child I had thought of sponsoring but after a few days I knew it was Ana Clara that I needed to choose and luckily World vision have little videos which help you in a few minutes to gage what sort of personalty they have. Its sweet to hear them talk and Ana shined bless her and she was wea...

Build day 2 of the second week

Today has been focussed around putting handles on the doors and finishing over boarding the ceilings and building and area for a window. Everything is still in chaos as for us being a family. It's like being in a bedsit and I can sure know what that is like. I've been there done that and have the t shirt. The dust is still settling every day and its surprising how much we find and where. Overall my day has been pretty difficult with seizures and difficulty with speech but I have tried my hardest which is all the matters and I have been positive even though my day was somewhat tricky. Jay has been great always and the hero of the hour especially with me throughout the day. Supplying me with tea coffee and lunch.  Jay normally and pops into town to shop and stock up on needed groceries for the day . Jay has walked ditty like he does every morning otherwise she stares jay in the eye and you can feel the stare lol .Ditty although a tiny pug has an intimidating stare lol and she is...
