Skipping school

averygoodun42So, I'm staying home from my school today just in case I get another call from Page's school. He was complaining about feeling "heart sick" this morning. The way he described it, it sounded like anxiety to me. Great job, everyone (myself included). Great job.
I'm of two minds whether to go to the Parent Corner that operates from 9-11 today at Page's school. On the one hand, it is a resource that I should probably take advantage of, but on the other, I don't really know what resources I'm looking for, besides the ones that involve waiting.
And, damn it, I'm tired of waiting! The counseling center hasn't called back, though it's possible they're going to call Geoff's phone instead. I have a feeling I need to go to the place in person to fill out the "new patient" forms. Oh. Yay.
However, I've requested a meeting with the school psychologist. Won't hear back until Monday, probably, but the request is in. The doctor's office knows I want a call back, though, again, that won't happen until Monday when the doctor gets back in. So, really, all I have to do is call in at one of the counseling centers and make an appointment. And wait.
And, on the plus side, as I was walking Page to school this morning (I deliberately waited till the bus was gone), we met up with one of Page's classmates, who was happy to see him. Her mom and I chatted, and we're figuring on a play date this Monday. Which will be good for all of us, I think. I'll need to put my really good listening ears on, as the mom has a speech impediment, but it will be good. *nods*
I'm still upset at how this has played out, including the school's role in it, but at least I don't think I'll need any lorazapam today. Just tea.
