[aspen37]

Just thought I would poke my head in and say hello.

Things are really shaping up for our party.

The details are coming together.

Your credentials are in the final prep stages and should start going out soon-ish.

Thank you to you and John for all of your hard work.

Oh friends I have a problem I need help with. Completely OT from DAP but here goes. I have a psycho mom at school. She is in your face crazy and I am at my wits end. I dont mean ha ha she is crazy. I mean truely psycho crazy. Do I tell her she needs help/meds something or do I ignore her and hope she just goes away or gets the message. I find my self praying every day she is not there when I drop my son off. I hate confrontation but she is making my life crazy with her constant drama. Last week she faked a stroke and yelled at me and my husband at soccer for not helping her. My husband made me go to the principal and make sure she is never allowed to pick up our son up. I have never delt with a psychotic person that was not hospitalized. Yikes!! What would you do??

I don't know how qualified I am to answer this, but when I had customers come into the store that were 'cooky', I would be polite but still kind of give them a wide berth. I wonder if a woman that is faking strokes at her child's soccer match is really okay to be out on the street...

My Queen Consort says we have not yet received our ME documents. I shan't worry for another week or so.

I would tread very lightly and not show fear...and I'm not making light of your situation saying this. I've had some interesting situations with unbalanced individuals - a couple of times at work and once a random situation with a person in a public place I'd never set eyes on prior who fixated on me. I spoke very calmly each time and once I resorted to speaking in a kind of sing-songy voice because the slow, calm voice didn't seem to help. I remembered, even though inside I was very alarmed, that a different part of your brain registers singing than does talking and it is calming. It worked, although it might have gone either way. Good Luck with this...doesn't it always seem that when you are trying to avoid someone the opposite happens?

I know Todd that has me concerned esp. since she is the parent of a 5 year old who has way to much responsibility for his age. That is part of the reason I went to the principal. I am genuinly concerned about the boy. It borders on neglect/abuse of him. His comments are completely inappropriate for a 5 year old boy. I really just dont want some nut taking revenge on me; it is a tough situation and I really dont know what to do. I am really at a loss right now.

I am a nurse and believe me this has me stressed to the max. I dont want to set her off but I dont know what to do either. I already feel like I crossed the line by going to the principal. But when my 4 year old thinks his friends mommy is gonna die due to the episode at soccer it has gone to the land of inappropriate behavior. Gosh I hate this. I am thinking I need to grow a set and tell her how it is. My fear is retaliation from her though. This is why I am so confused.

That poor child...you acted out of concern for him, which is admirable. The principal needs to be aware of what is happening so he or she can put all of the pieces together and act when necessary. DS's school has a counsellor on site several days a week to meet with at-risk kids (anger issues, etc...) and she has been able to positively affect change in the kids I know she has dealt with. I'm sure the principal will be discrete.

Sometimes there is a fine line between being going over board and doing what is right. If you believe that your child could be in harm's way, I think you did the right thing by going to the principal. I don't think that being confrontational will help anything. Perhaps a more in depth conversation with the principal might be helpful.

I wish you had a crystal ball to see whether that would work...I so feel for you!

Geez,

This place is falling apart. The flu, starters and other car parts, what is the next to go? Hopefully I can hold out until I leave for WDW in 48 hours. Have I mentioned I am going on vacation? Just wanted everyone to know. Of course, tomorrow and Thursday are shaping up to be doozies, so hopefully I will not have to tap into the DATW bail kitty prematurely.

Have a great trip.

Liz, that is really scary. It sounds like it is at a point where there is not much you can do. I have found most people do not respond well to being told they need help. If you really feel the child is in danger you could go to child protective services, but I feel like since you have brought it to the principal's attention he should be watching closely. I hope it works out.

One thing I know for sure is that you can't have a productive conversation with an unstable person. Best of luck with the ignoring.

I'm back... and I am not going to read all I missed, at least not tonight.

We had a good trip, it was too short but aren't long weekends really short weeks.

It was wonderful to be nice and warm again. Friday and Saturday were hot and Sunday was warm but not hot. Yesterday was cooler and today was even cooler, I guess to prepare me to come home.

We did MNSSHP on Sunday and had a blast, closed the park down. Walked on to most rides - two exceptions Buzz and Peter Pan. The line was long enough at Peter Pan that we decided not to ride it. Rode Thunder Mountain too many times to count.

Monday we did EPCOT and F&W - my opinion, while the food I tried was tasty, I was underwhelmed. I passed many booths by and did not taste.

Many of you heard, the trip started off on the wrong note - a little background. I have traveled this weekend with my daughters for a couple of years and this year convinced two of my brothers and their families to join us in the trip. So I made my ususal travel plans which means getting in early enough to spend time in a park. We arrived at MCO at 8:55 Friday morning, got our car and drove to MK. As we were getting on the tram to go into the park, I got a message from my brother - whom I had agreed to pick up at the airport later that afternoon. The message was that they had gotten a direct flight and would be arriving at 10:50 rather than 2:30 and he thought it was better to take this flight because it would be less disruptive to my plans. So I leave a message to call me when they get in and we will make a plan. We get into MK and are at Guest Relations getting our new TIW card and my phone rings. They got in earlier than expected.

Change of plans, we are driving back to the airport, pick them up and off to Downtown Disney - because they only want to buy tickets for one day, they have a friend getting them into EPCOT on Monday and party tickets for Sunday.

After that, we did not let him make the arrangements but I still had to deal with the other thing he was responsible for - flight back home. His logic is that you want to get home as early as possible so I was up at 4:50 this morning to drive him to the airport to catch his early flight. - My flight of course was at 6:30 pm. When I made the transportation plans with him it was based on his first report of a 7:00 pm flight

Anyway, water under the bridge, the important thing was I got to spend time with my family at the happiest place on earth. I wouldn't trade the time for anything.
