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

I havnt written for sometime and feel this need to do a year catch up

This year has been the busiest year but we have met some wonderful people along the way . Jay became Mayor in may of last year 2017 -2018 so it’s been so busy and our schedule as a couple has increased. My fatigue has been very much out of control and I have had to rest to maintain my energy. Generally I just needed to pace myself and take time out and rest occasionally. My health has increasingly been frustrating but it’s one of those things . I get up and start the day and think for that day but it’s always with a struggle but most days I have to stay positive . I will give an update of events that we have undertaken throughout the year which will be interesting to see written down. In the morning when I can access the diary I will begin to make a list.. I tend to write and think better very early hours of the morning and my thoughts are much clearer. I’m not very good with noise and background sound so it’s much easier to be a peace and write through the night. This year for our fam...
