Ghoulie work it out, take it off, write it down challenge! (Page 6)

Oy Vey, Stacie!

I'm surprised the school didn't contact you either, especially since he has the emotional support teacher. I understand the school can't contact the parent of every child who is failing a class, but I think this would fall under special circumstances.

Morning Ghoulies

Ann, Happy Birthday to your young Ghouligan!

Glad the Govm't mule isn't around today!

Stacie. BREATHE!!! Teenagers are tough. Teenagers with aspbergers must be tougher.. BREATHE! I am surprised the school didn't let you know about the grades. BREATHE think of it this way, probably even with the ex in the picture, he really wasn't and it was all on you anyway. BREATHE!

Melindy- Glad you got the planning sorted out, sorta. with the maybe-visitor and everything!

Kendra, HI, going dancing or biking this weekend?

Amy, How's it going?

Neal and Bill- WTF Are you boys?

i think that's where my beef is as well.

first he has special needs, been ID as such

has a emotional support teacher who i think SHOULD be aware of what is happening to the kids that shes assigned.

they always seem like they are REACTIVE rather than PROACTIVE.

i understand that my son has his part to do too - he doesnt turn in homework - and believe me i am not asking for them to excuse that behavior - you get what you get if you make a choice not turn in your work - but still, i would think that someone there would be paying attention.

its hard to do that from home.  so i am at a complete disadvantage because i dont know what he's doing there to even begin to know what needs to be done to help him.

days like this i wish i could be his BSC rather than his mother.

i could meet his needs better in that capacity for sure.

stacie

VERY TRUE INDEED.

BREATHE.

BREATHE.

BREATHE.

my one consoliation is that he is doing well in all of his classes except TWO.

he's a smart kid and if we can just get him through the next 4 years he's gonna be OK.

but man oh pete, teenagers are tough.  you aint kidding.

but we survive.  they survive.

i was a teenager once too.

Stacie, it wasn't until I called a meeting with the school did I find out my son had been sleeping through three years of classes.  The only teacher who did not say he was sleeping was band.  How could the school not contact me.  Their reasoning was that he was not disturbing class.  Made me so mad.  And we too were involved parents.  But no one said a word until I called a meeting (and I had to call the meeting because my son was coming back to school after an attempted suicide.  Did they not think the sleeping through classes was not important!)  Hang in there and as Robin said, BREATHE!

I was hoping to go out on the motorcycle Saturday and the bicycle Sunday, but it looks like it is supposed to rain all weekend.  bummer.  Otherwise no plans except to work around the house.  Not very exciting.

Morning. I am working around my house, too. stripping paint and other chores. Wanna come up here and help, then we can trade and do your chores!

I do need to get up there sometime soon. 

Yep!!!

AAAAGGGGGGHH!!!!!!

This is the sound of me losing my mind.

Evidently I am the only person who has ever on the face of the universe asked a particular question. Just a note. If you ever do that and NEED the answer YESTERDAY do not ask it on a Friday.

I hope they are having a better time than I am right now!

I just saw two run by me here in the library.  They came for the tour and storytime.

I should be trying to get some work done today, but I don't want to. 

Don't want to work TOPPAGE!!!

Me neither. So I quit for the day. So THERE! Hey, today was supposed to be my day off anyway. Off to do laundry. Wee hoo- life in the fast lane!

I have an hour left to go but I'm ready to call it a day.

My brain LOVES story time! Now I bet they are off to find some Fat Frogs!

I hope it is a successful journey!

Me too. Off for laundry, nap then a run. Have wonderful days. Hope your son has an excellent Birthday, Ann!

I have a plan.

Gov't lady who doesn't like me doesn't like that I start work at 6:30, she doesn't want me to start before 7:00. I know, stupid, right?

I come in at 6:30 because I'm usually awake between 4 and 4:30. There is a gym on base, that was just built within the last year, that I can use for free.

I'm going to start coming here when I get up in the morning and working out before work. I can shower at the gym then come to work. I am going to try doing that next week and see how it goes. It is still too cold and dark to run in the mornings. I'll see how it goes.

i am so so sorry for what you and your son and your family went through.

geez oh man.

but it does help to hear im not the only one.

BREATHING DEEPLY.
