Glad you are seeing something else. I went to see Up with some coworkers Friday night and there were some teenage girls going to see that.
I have to say I enjoyed Up even more the 2nd time around and all my friends loved it too.
I've been a real funk. I know some of it has to do with the meeting on Joe on Monday. The "team" of his teacher, the adjustment counselor, behaviorist, speech therapist, and occupational therapist all concluded that Joe has "social and processing deficits" that "severly" impact his education and they say that qualifies him for a 504 ed plan and came up with some accomodations. They came to this conclusion by observing Joe in the classroom and at recess. They all agree Joe is very smart but he can't finish his work in a timely manor and can't seem to follow multi step directions. The thing that gets me is that I thought I agreed to testing Joe back in February and in fact asked his teacher if I didn't have to put it in writing. They did NOT test Joe to determine what is causing his processing difficulties. How can they determine accomodations without knowing what is causing the issues? I am so mad. And so mad at myself. I knew it had to be requested in writing. Now another school year has gone by. I called Joe's pediatrician and she said I had to go through the school. She said private testing isn't covered by insurance and that it would likely cost about $3,000. I tried calling the facility Thursday to see how much it would cost and how soon they could do it but I called at 3:30 and they are only there Mon-Thu 8:00 - 3:00.
I also booked a room last week. The summer codes had to be booked by yesterday so since DH has done nothing to plan a trip for this summer I figured it wouldn't hurt to book a room. I susggested to him that we do 1 week in Canada and 1 week in Disney. I was hoping that maybe if I agree to a more relaxed trip to WDW he might enjoy it. I booked 1 week Wed 7/29 to Wed 8/5 in a Lagoon View Club Level room at Poly. It was cheaper than 1BR at AKL. I didn't book airfare and right now would have to say the chance that we actually do it are pretty slim. I don't know that I want to spend that much money-even at 36% off it is still pricey and Canada won't be cheap either.
So now what do I do? Be satisfied with the 2 nights on the Cape with DH's family as our vacation this year? OR do I try to help DH plan a trip to Canada? He's supposed to be doing the planning. He can't decide where to get the passport photos taken. I really don't want to bail him out. I told him last August he had to plan. I got him all the tourist info, I got him the passport info.....I would help him if he asked but I don't see that happening either.
at least ours is only for 1 day. Once its time for the race, 115 turns into both lanes going one direction, and then the opposite direction when its time for the race to let out. So we would need an alternate route for just a few hours.
