Sigh - Sometimes I Just Want To Run Away
After a weekend of Giles having random tantrums and melt downs, we ended up this morning with him trying to hide and having one of the worst melt downs I've seen. It was complaints and major dragging of the feet trying to get him dressed and then full on melt down before we even got to breakfast. Eventually I just called him in for the day and then called his teacher to see just what was doing about the playground situation.
We finally got Giles to talk about it a couple hours later and discussed how he needs to not react and just walk away and the kids should leave him alone -- hopefully. Giles' teacher called an hour later to say they found out who it was (fifth grade boys) and they were currently in the principal's office. Giles' class has been asked to watch out for him and report any problems as well as to try not to let him play alone. Hopefully all of it together will actually make a difference. I think I've got Giles calmed down enough now and he's been informed unless he's on deaths door he will be going to school tomorow. I need it for my own sanity.
Did I mention I'm in the middle of my period and severe cramps with all of this. Originally my plans for the day included seeing Dale off to work, taking a pain pill and passing out for several hours. Well, I saw Dale off to work but the rest never happened.
I am now off to find chocolate and contemplate running away further.
