Sleepless Night

Wednesday started on a high again and resulted in an erratic sort of day with a sleepless night. I was at a late meeting and when I returned Boy Wonder bounded down the stairs asking to settle down with me whilst leaping about and making cat noises! Superman wasn't too impressed due to the fact that he did appear settled earlier in the evening but was obvious playing! It was 11pm and Boy Wonder was as lively as ever. We settled down for a short time but then went up to bed. Boy Wonder read for a while and didn't get to sleep until approx 3am.

This morning I woke Boy Wonder for his shower and he leapt out of bed and ran straight to the shower. He continued to leap about and make cat noise, one minute laughing loudly and the next minute crying and becoming visibly upset over nothing in particular. I had to tell him to calm as he was scaring his kitten who loyally sat with him whilst I attempted to get him dressed. Boy Wonder kept grabbing and bear hugging him so he ran off! He got very upset and stated that he would kill himself as he had upset Jet. I explained that Jet still loved him but had just been frightened a little. Boy Wonder then said that he would hurt himself by hitting himself in the face because he was naughty. Needless to say that I stopped him doing this and opted for distraction as this wasn't going to improve any other way!

We went downstairs and they had breakfast before going to school. Boy Wonder didn't settle and ate very little.

We arrived at school and I spoke to his teacher about his frame of mind. The supply teacher said that she would keep an eye on him and pass the information onto his teacher this afternoon.

On picking the children up from school, Boy Wonder's teacher expressed her concern that Boy Wonder appeared to be unwell as he had been complaining of tummy ache and feeling sick throughoutthe day. He also looked pale with red around his eyes.  He did look exhausted and off it. We collected Cat Girl who was with her favourite supply teacher who had been covering her teacher for a few months when she started school. She had a hug and was told when she would be in again.

We got to the car and Cat Girl started to cry as she missed the teacher that she had just left. Boy Wonder remained very quiet, wouldn't eat his snack and just got angry when I asked him to change for dance. Although he became quite verbally aggressive, when the time came he went to dance without fuss.

I took Cat Girl to Ju Jitsu and after she had settled in, went to collect Boy Wonder. The dance teacher said that he had complained of feeling sick and had to sit out for some of it. I spoke with Boy Wonder about football practice and he said that he didn't feel we'll enough to go. He must be ill!

We collected Cat Girl and headed home. The children chilled in front of the tv and I nipped to the supermarket.

At bedtime there were more tears from Cat Girl about the teacher see missed. Boy Wonder settled down after a bit of erratic behaviour but once he was on my lap he was asleep within 25  minutest.

We had the tribunal documents today.I guess this is where it all starts again!
