When Reagan said: “What should I do if I feel ill at school?” was basically saying I will be ill today nothing is more certain. It drives me insane when she does this because she has decided, I can ride horses and go to a sleep over at my mates but I need an extra day to get over it because I am tired. I really have no patience for just doing the good stuff and having no intentions of doing the rest because the good things tire you out! Reagan went to school but messaged me on the way to tell me that if she feels unwell she will tell the school and walk home which means she will be doing exactly that.
So I am just waiting for the call, it makes me feel on edge that I know she is just biding her time before she gives up. I feel really bad that I made her go but but if I let her stay off today then she will expaect to be allowed to stay at home all the time. The waiting and anticipation of getting a call really affected my mood although it never came, I did suffer a slump in what had been pretty easy mentally this past two and a half weeks.
She texted in reply to my text asking how she was feeling to say she was tired and going to bed for a lay down. I said I was proud of her for sticking it out and that rest and paracetamol would be best for now. I have to say I was surprised that she stuck it out but she also knew I was at work in Crewe and could not come and sort her out if she did want to come home.
