Heavy Heart

I have a heavy heart, Spring Break and Luke’s wrist have brought out the not so good in Luke. He DOES NOT want to go to school. He got himself so worked up that he threw up on the way to school yesterday.

Last week was a hard week getting him to go to school, and this week-end he seemed so frightened to let Pat out of his sight. He has always wanted to know where everyone was but this week-end he took it to the extreme. He has also seemed nervous for a couple of weeks now.

Monday he cried for about an hour wanting his dad, he went to PE and seemed to do fine the rest of the day. Tuesday he cried off and on pretty much all day from 8:00-2:30, he had a pretty big breakdown where he had to go in the hall because he was so upset and kept screaming he wanted his dad. The teacher called Pat and Pat talked to Luke, he calmed down but kept saying his stomach hurt and he wanted his daddy. He kept asking the teacher when his dad was coming to get him, so she wrote 4:30 down on a piece of paper, and he kept looking at it and asking what is the REAL time? It was odd, alarming and just weird. So I got off early and picked him up at 2:30, he told me that he was afraid his dad was going to forget him at school. Wednesday he kept asking me what time his dad was coming to pick him up I said when he gets off of work, Pat had told him 4:30 so we went with that time. He would not eat breakfast and he got himself so worked up on the way to school that he threw up. Thursday today, he has a bowling party and he started asking me what time his dad would pick him up, I spanked him and sent him to his room. I went into his room and asked HIM “What time is your dad picking you up?” He said he did not know? I said THINK back to what he told you! Didn’t he say he would pick you up right when he gets off? Luke said Yes. I said and your dad said that would be around 4:30, right? Luke said yes! I said so repeat after me. “What time is your dad picking you up from school?” He said as soon as he gets off around 4:30! Please GOD help him get this through his thick HEAD! He is driving our nerves crazy! Tomorrow is his birthday and we have told him if he acts up today he will not be able to do any of the fun birthday things we have planned or he will not get his Kindle Fire this week-end. A 6 year old just should not be acting like this at school or at all for that matter. He almost started crying when I dropped him off this morning, and I said remember you are a big boy don’t start this. And he seemed to keep it together. UGGGH why does everything have to be so hard with kids? Why when one thing clicks something else breaks? We are so ready for this cast to be off and for things to hopefully get back to NORMAL!

Thursday was better, and today is Friday!  MeMaw is picking him up at 12:00.  I have to work since I have been out some this week!
