I know too well from being a problem child myself how few schools are actually set up to deal with them. Depressing but true. But I am very thankful that we have a good school for him. And hopeful that he'll actually get to stay in it, though some weeks that's more in doubt than others. Good luck with your school search. I hope you guys catch a break in that area very soon. It does make a difference.lynora wrote:It does help to know that someone knows how I feel. The schools make it seem like he is the first child they have ever encountered like this in all their 30 + years of teaching. I am so relieved you guys found a good school. We are still searching. It makes me so mad too. The one thing we shouldn;t worry about is school!Solnes wrote:lynora wrote:Nothing big, just his behavior in general, and his lack of ability to take responsibility for anything.Solnes wrote:Oh if we could afford it Kellen would be sent off to Military School yesterday! >:SUh-oh.

*hugs*
Thanks Lyn. We have a another meeting in a week or so, this time with just our County Rep, hopefully this will turn into something good. :)

We need a new fridge. We're looking at getting one with the slide out freezer drawers. Our current is a side-by-side, and therefore there is no room for anything else but a gallon of milk and left-overs.

Treppa and I used to have that issue. Her laptop was terrible, so we traded off on my tower to play games and visit our websites. Then we got her a new tower and BLAMO, my old one blew up on me. I had to get a new PC also. It's amazing how it seems karma makes you either fully upgrade or remain behind. :P

The laptop is acting funny lately anyways, which makes it worse. I have a warranty still, just waiting to get past Black friday weekend to go into Best Buy to figure out what file is corrupted and how to fix it.

Everything seems to go on the fritz this time of year. Our X-Box is starting to act wonky, and we've had it only about a year. I sometimes wonder if it's not a conspiracy... *puts on fedora, pulls collar up around face*

He is doing great. He is now between 9 and 9 and a half pounds. He actually slept 5 hours last night was up for an hour and then slept another 4 hours.

I can relate. We're still planning the best way out of Rochester, but I think it's going to happen.
I can't tell you at this point how much it will help, but I will let you know.

Overall, had a good weekend. My partner's mom came over for Thanksgiving dinner (she brought a turkey breast that she had already cooked, so that made things easy. Then my mom came over for dinner on Friday for some pasta, and last night we had pizza at my partner's brother's house.
I'm stressed as all f%~& over grad school applications, but otherwise okay.

Do something less stressful and don't think about them for a couple of hours. It will help.

That's the plan. We've watched some movies and stuff that help immensely.
