sorry about DS's stinky day....sounds like you made progress tonight though!~~

Thanks, Theresa! I hope you are able to make some headway with Abi's IEP or whatever it is!

Ironically the teachers all said they don't assign very much homework, but the kids do bring home classwork they don't finish. Another HUGE clue that DS's meds aren't working. DH was getting mad at DS but we are almost back where we were before we had him on an effective med - he can't concentrate, doesn't listen to and follow directions, gets all confused and flustered. On his math papers he was redoing ALL of the problems, even the ones he got RIGHT! No wonder it was taking so long! DH needs to remember that DS isn't doing it on purpose!

CONGRATS, Theresa!

I have so many other things crammed in my brain right now I didn't even notice we were near a milestone!

Ok, this is what Katie & I came up with from Costco. I like the Cinderella picture alot but it doesn't look good with the cards they have. (same thing with the close up of the kids). This picture seems to go well with the background. What do you all think?

I am going to order them online & then pick them up at the store..so convinient! (I didn't know about ordering online last year)

I like it

I am going to bed. What a day!

Princess & I are having breakfast with the nannies in the morning, then we are going to the zoo if the weather is nice.

Good night!

CONGRATS, Theresa!

I have so many other things crammed in my brain right now I didn't even notice we were near a milestone!

I didn't notice either until it was just us two posting!! The 2 clueless ones on the quest for the milestone

so somebody in my house (front runner is "not me") refilled the salt shaker with sugar and didn't replace the lid well so we sugared our popcorn.

So Abi is making some more.

oh no, bet that did not taste the best.

 

[babytrees]

I got the crib put together tonight. I will go to the laundry mat next week and wash all the bedding. Then I can finish putting it all together. My aunt is coming in from Hawaii on the 28th of this month. She is an interior decorator and said she would help me hang the pictures in Virginia's room. She helped me hang the same pictures in Olivia's room when she was a baby.

Okay headed to bed. I work tomorrow.
So I will chat with you all Sat.

Jennifer have a great trip. for no rain
Lindsay I hope you enjoy your trip and the game.
Deb have a great camping trip. for no rain. Can't wait to see pictures.

Just a quick fly-by post....

My week has been crazy, and I have a killer cough that sounds like I have been smoking 3 packs a day for years! I think everyone at my office will be relieved that I'm not there tomorrow!

Went to Austin for work on Monday/Tuesday. Ended up having to drive as the rain was so horrendous in Dallas on Monday, and we were worried about our flights making it out to get to Austin on time. So, I got to make 2 round-trips to Austin in 96 hours. Been busy at work since getting back, plus trying to kick this cold. I don't feel too badly, but it was interesting with no voice and this cough in Austin!

I can't believe we leave tomorrow a.m. - I'm almost relieved that it's a short trip (blasphemy!) since I haven't had much time to devote to it. I am really excited to ssee the new HM in all its glory tomorrow - the reports I've read sound awesome!

I will try to check in if I can, and we'll be sure to take lots of pics at the MNSSHP tomorrow night. I will also get a truckload of maps!

If I'm not back soon, have a great weekend, DDA!

(Hey Jennifer - I will keep an eye out in the parks on Saturday/Sunday! I'm not sure where all we'll be going - for the first time in a long time, I don't have a current plan! that the weather forecast improves!)

I'm ten pages behind and tired, but I am wide awake because I am hopping mad.

Went to the drug store to get my Zyrtec allergy pills refilled. Instead, I have 30 antipsychotic drugs with really wicked side effects.

The last time they did this (dispensed the wrong drug,) I brought them in, she apologized, made sure I hadn't taken any, replaced them with the right pills and I was on my way.

Not this time. I looked up these big honking pills on the web. These are dangerous. One side effect is "increased morbidity" hmmmmmm I seem to have gotten a clue. Morbity means oh my gravy [/death!!U][/B

It really doesn't like my other pill. So if this was my first time filling this RX, I might be swallowing a really dangerous pill with really horrid side effects that would not play nice with the pills I already take. This is the second time!!! Only thing this one is way more powerful with worse side effects. Had I swallowed this pill, I'd be in a world of hurt...

What is the best way of handling this?

I know I kid about being old, but morbidity was just not on my radar... I'm not ready. And I just don't want to go that way.

Have a wonderful trip Lindsay!!!​

First thing tomorrow or today morning, get thee to the pharmacy and get new pills---correct pills. Insist they put on your record to cross check for interaction between drugs. You might want to check about changing where you get your meds cause there are places that automatically check for these kind of problems. Also----insist that your Doctor put this info on your prescriptions.

This means homework, but your life is in their hands and you need to be sure that you are taken care of ----------------or I will go and HURT someone.

Good Morning, DDA!

So. I went to Open House with every intention of withdrawing DS from public school tomorrow. He got a REFERRAL today for telling another kid to stop drumming on his chair. It was BAND class and there was a substitute. The bizarre thing was that the guy didn't actually send DS to an administrator for it, just wrote out the slip. Dumba$$. So DS went to Social Studies in tears. That teacher asked him why he was upset, helped him calm down, and then told him he can't print his homework on the computer and told him he had to do it AGAIN (which would be the 3rd time). Hello? 504 modifications are NOT subject to teacher approval! I was FURIOUS. DH was FURIOUS. I started making plans to just pull DS out of school entirely and do a little homeschooling, then put him in private school (with financial aid) next year. The one school I drive by every day (Winston) is almost $20,000 for 6th grade and all of the aid has already been allocated because the school year is underway. Momboss even said we could put him in 6th grade NEXT year and just take this year off. There is no regulation of homeschooling so whatever we did would be fine. But...

We went to Open House, met all of the teachers (except the Art guy, who I am not worried about) and now I feel better. The band director was there and he said DS shouldn't worry about the referral - he would take care of everything. Good. He also said I don't have to pay a fee for DS to use the drums at school. Good.
Talked with the Social Studies teacher. She is VERY nice and DS just completely misunderstood the assignment. He never showed her the definitions he wrote by hand so she thought he ONLY printed them on the computer. Got that worked out. Good.
Talked to the math teacher. He thinks DS will succeed if we expect him to succeed. We'll see. He said if DS just can't handle it he can go back to 6th grade math. Good.
No issues at all with the Reading/Language Arts teacher.
I told each and every teacher that DS has 504 modifications being placed in their boxes by the counselor, so they know I am not playing when it comes to adhering to them. I would imagine complaints about non-compliance get the teachers in trouble, so perhaps now they will comply.
If DS tolerates his new meds OK over the weekend then he will be on them next week at school. HOPEFULLY now we will make some progress.

Everything sounds promising Elizabeth. I hope you feel a bit relieved now that you've had some 'face' time with all of the teachers. that it goes at well as it sounds.

Good morning

Theresa congratulations on the milestone!

Elizabeth glad all went well at school lat night. the the new meds work for ds.

Stephanie I would be furious as well. I agree with Terry, glad you check your pills before taking them! I would be finding another pharmacy.

Lindsay sorry to hear you are still not feeling well. for a fantastic trip. Look forward to hearing all about it!
