Late

A late finish on a grey day.  Not even the slightest ray of sunshine today.  

I had to change my shift at work to be able to attend a meeting at school this afternoon.  We wanted to discuss alternative provision for our youngest who is not able to attend at the moment.  The authorities wanted a letter from a doctor confirming the nature and seriousness of the problem.  We thought until recently that they already had it (we had been assured it would be sent.)  It took almost an hour and a strong minded bit of persuasion from Jacinta but at least by the time we left there was an acceptance that the issue of the letter was almost resolved.  No alternative provision yet - no funds without a letter!  When we got home there were tears because we had not been able to fix up what she feels she needs.  

Normally mild mannered and laid back this just makes me want to scream ....
