never a dull moment

Had a difficult time getting T up this morning.  He hoped I would call in sick for him for his math class because the class was having a test.  I told him that that was his decision not to go but I was NOT calling in for him.  I also mentioned that he's walking on thin ice with the school and if he wants them to kick him out then.....  He got up.  Around lunch time I get a call from the school today.  We made it through Monday without a call but Tuesday - he just had to make sure that I am aware that he's in school, I guess.  I had to bring up some Tylenol to the school (guess I forgot to fill out the necessary paperwork so that I don't have to be present in order for him to take it).  While there - the assistant principal sees me and asks to speak to me.  Gosh - nothing like feeling like you're 15 again and you're called into the office for getting into trouble.  Not that that ever happened to me but... I am sure if I had been I would have felt like I did today.  LOL.  Actually, I did have a knot in my stomach but the asst. principal is a great guy.  He just wanted to chat over the latest antics of T-Man.  Always it's about him not wanting to be where they want him to be.  Can't get over how brazen this kid is.  No fear.  At least he's respectful -doesn't swear at them etc. (he saves it for home).  Man - even if he isn't using anymore......some of the after effects haven't left him - which is why this assessment date is still going to happen, I am told. T's caseworker is going to stay a tiny bit longer but not much.  It really, really stinks.  He's been so supportive and is so sharp - unlike the counselor that comes to our home.  T likes him and it's because he just lets T be.  The counselor really isn't doing his job..... talks politics and chews the fat.  I don't care anymore.  T has a counselor we pay him to see.  T just announced that he doesn't like him.  Yeah....because he's doing his job.....
