Frustration!

It has been a hard past 4 or 5 days. The weekend was good (we were busy with soccer, The Race for the Cure, which the whole family walked, Dale's company picnic, and a birthday party), but Thursday, Friday and today have not been so great. For whatever reason, Hannah has decided she does not want to go to school and gets very upset when it is time to do so or we even talk about it. It kinda started last Wed. She came home from school fine and then got ready for soccer practice, but then when we got there, she was crying and didn't want to play. She did play, but she was off and on upset that night and really got upset when you talked about having school the next day. Thursday morning, she would not go, she was crying and would get beyond upset as you tried to push her harder out the door. She actually started walking but then headed back. She took a personal day on Thursday and stayed home. Friday was more of the same. Dale had to walk her up and stand outside the door for over 5 min. trying to reason with her while she sobbing and you can't understand anything she says. The teacher did come out and get her to go in and said she did fine on Friday, although she seemed a little unsure. I actually spied on her with binoculars out the window during recess and could see she was having a good time playing. The problem is that she won't tell us what the problem is. If you ask her, she just gets very upset. I have asked her everything I think it might be like people making fun of her or not feeling like she has any friends, and she says it's not those things. After the good weekend, I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem today, and she was better--didn't get upset until it was actually time to put her shoes on and go out the door, but once again, I had to walk her up. She did go in the door a little easier, and the teacher says she's having a better day than Friday, but that there is something bugging her. If she does this again tomorrow, they want her to talk to the school counselor to see if she'll open up to her. I just hate to see her like this. She has always loved school and at the beginning of the week last week wanted to walk up earlier than she needed to and then Wham--Thursday came and everything changed. It's just so frustrating and bewildering. Hopefully she'll be fine tomorrow. Just had to vent. Hopefully I'll get some soccer pics up soon. TTFN--Ta Ta For Now.
