Off to the Professor tonight....7.15pm - still seems a weird time but anyway.
I would love for my body to be able to keep up with my mind.
I'd be happy if I felt even 20% better than what I have been.
So we'll see what he has to say......
** ** ** ** ** **
I have been keeping an eye on Z17.
He has been quite run down in the last 3 - 4 weeks.
I have never seen anyone sleep quite as much.
He even changed his mood to 'drained' on his myspace......
I have also noticed he's losing a lot of hair - add to that the fact that he has at least 10 grey hairs already.....what does this mean he's going to be grey and half bald by the time he's 20?
Not if I can help it.
Also his skin hasn't been the best, and since he hasn't been working I know it's not from the heat/grease in the kitchen at HJ's.....
I have done some research and it seems a Zinc deficiency fits with all of these things.
So I'm giving him the maximum recommended dose, along with some iron and see if there is any change...if not back to the GP.......
Not even a week back at school and I've had a phone call ALREADY from his teacher.
Nothing TOO bad at this stage but I will need to keep him on track - if possible.
What is going on with the boy???
Why pick college to be disruptive and silly?
We'll be having a big discussion about this after school today.....on the way to his dentists appointment.
Like Small Man this is his first EVER filling......just a little one......ironically the same tooth as SM...I have a feeling he won't be as calm and relaxed as SM was........
His teacher seems to feel he is being 'led' by one of the boys that was in his class last year (remember last year with him at school - bloody hell!!!!!).
Small Man agrees with this and says this 'James' kid is a terrible influence on Z17.
I said to the teacher that's fine but Z17 needs to take responsibility for his own crap and not allow himself to be led.
I will be asking Z17 where he thinks this boy 'James' will be when Z17 fails/is asked to leave his course/can't get a job?
I told the teacher to seperate them.
And gave him permission to confiscate Z17's iphone during class time if necessary - he chuckled and said he'd leave that to me to tell Z17 - oh I will don't you worry!
I will also be telling him I'm not prepared to go through ANOTHER year of this (phone calls/letters) - and to make a choice - go to college, do the work, behave - or get a full time job.
He is almost an adult after all.
Rant over.
My interview went really well yesterday - I don't know what you were worried about - ha ha!
It was like riding a bike or something.
So one new starter for me, and one less issue to deal with for work.
Only 99 other issues to try and sort out now.....

Kids! Got my 1st phonecall for the year last week, and another today. :(
Good time to get them (in the car). You are right, G. let him have it!
Good luck with your health, love.xx
Best of luck with the teen situation. I have nothing but respect for mothers. I was a horrible teenager and am still trying to make it up to mom and I think I will be for the rest of my life!
that doesnt sound good regard Z's health.... the hair loss and all......hope it all settles down

Good luck, G. I am on my second "class clown". The teachers would like to laugh with them, but can't as they were/are so disruptive to others. Sboy managed to stay in the top level classes. Vboy is in immiment danger of slipping into the mire of below average, with kids who misbehave simply because they haven't got the skills to do anything else... he really doesn't belong there. The teachers just don't have the time to deal with it all......
It's so frustrating.
Nag away!
