My daughter was up nearly every hour last night with period cramps and hot flushes

She was so tired this morning but determined to go to school.

I got a call from the school a little while ago to collect her. Apparently she had started to argue with her teacher, realised that she was on a slippery slope, and voluntarily took herself off the the exclusion room where she promptly fell asleep!

She was a bit fretful when I woke her up, but pleased she hadn't spoilt a good week with a detention.

She's currently sleeping peacefully on the sofa.
