Well, having been sick all weekend & only exerting energy to shovel snow & cook one dinner, I've had plenty of time to slow down, think & re-assess.I've got to get back in the driver's seat in my...

I swear, the buck really does stop with me. The attorney did call me back, but I didn't hear the phone (was in a very loud place, getting lunch); so I left another message shortly thereafter for her...

Well, it turns out that DCF did call back on Thursday, but left a voice mail (I didn't have my cell with me). I was almost set to call them back, but a little voice in me said I'd better do a little...

Wow--a lot to catch up on! Well, here is a summary:Tuesday: went to the psych eval. The Dr was very nice & just spoke with me then my son. His conclusion was that DS is good to go back to school. DS...

Told my good friend EVERYTHING that was going on. She knows all of us. Anyway, she empathized completely with the position I'm in. That helps me know that It's not all my fault. I'm doing the...

Well, DCF called & it seems that they're coming from the angle of seeing what kind of services we might need for the kids, if any, and let us know what they offer. But they wanted to do a home visit....

Yesterday I went to my son's post-suspension PPT with the main intent of revisiting his IEP. What it turned into what a first-class nightmare that turned my entire life upside-down.Long story short:...

Day 2 of Suspension. My son set the table for supper, so he was there on time for supper of course, which he hasn't been for some time. I don't remember what it was that I said to him, but he was...

Got a call from the Housemaster at the High School, which means only 1 thing: a discipline problem. Apparently my son got mad at some girl in his Food Services class, said "Don't tell me what to do,...

We received a senior parent letter, telling us about paying for caps & gowns for graduation, when graduation is tentatively scheduled (barring any more snow days), and senior prom. June 19 is the...

Yesterday the kids got their interims. For DD's Spanish class, it said she didn't complete all her homework. She said that the teacher isn't always clear as to what the homework is; I told her that...

Holidays & vacation was good. My FIL had a stent put in an artery before we got there, so he's been in the process of healing. I think he's pushing himself too much, though & I had to jump on the...

This may take more than one post!  But it's time again to take stock of 2012 & set new goals for 2013.FinancialI paid off the credit card in 2012!  Not only that, I started a new account, got...

Have a happy, healthy & peaceful holiday!
