Oh no!! I hadn't even thought of that!That's brilliant. Thank you.
He has returned from the post office. And now we see what the problem is, they have ancient equipment and can't just scan the packages. Poor gals are really having a rough time with us in town.
I already got my shipping notice, so take your time!
{{{{Tiff}}}} I can totally see why you got upset, and they are really lucky I don't live near you or they'd get a visit from me too!And sorry for the long post. I'm just so angry. Why is it such a fight for everything for my kids. And of course hubby's in the woods for three days. I just want to cry.

I don't have any booze. I'll have to settle for coffee. It usually calms me down. Odd. And don't refrain. I have those same choice words running through my head now. I love him with all my heart but it's a dam hard job dealing with all this. I'm the one that sought out and took a four month, every week course on special education law so I'd be better equipped for all this. He's too laid back to push like I do. And the thing is that I only get like this for my kids. I'm usually the doormat everyone wipes their feet on when it comes to myself.
8 hours to Atlanta for me. Doable. Just no cake when I get there.

Do I see a posse get together coming on? I wish. Thank you for the encouragement though.
I actually just got off the phone with the regular sped director that is on maternity leave. She gave me her home number in case I needed anything. So I called her to give her a heads up on what happened. I told her I didn't expect her to do anything about it but she needed to know because she is the head special ed person at the school. She said she was glad I told her because they're not telling her a lot when she calls to get updates on the kids. She's a wonderful lady. She said that I could tell the principal to call her and conference her in on our meeting if need be. She said she knows I'm a reasonable person and easy to deal, and knows that I only get this upset and vocal when it's completely called for. That was reassuring.

Yeah, he's having a "time out" alright. A time out in the woods having a peaceful two evenings with his buddy hunting. He didn't have much to say when he called me a few minutes ago about all of this. I was rattling off everything so fast. He did have time to tell me about the deer he saw that he couldn't shoot cause it's not in season.
I hate the migraine, but I loved the joke! Glad you're feeling better, Stretchy!
I'm home, finally. I'm spent for the day. So is Morgan. She's had a rough day. I just got off the phone with the principal of the school and have a meeting first thing in the morning to address the two issues from today. The one I blew my stack at earlier was when the special ed coordinator stand in teacher called me to say that Morgan had lunch detention today. I asked what did she do, thinking uh oh because Morgan is always so well behaved and polite at school. She saves the carp for me.Anyway, she had lunch detention because of absenses and tardys......She has been late to school maybe twice the whole school year. I admit she is out quite a bit but it's because she has so many doctor appointments. I try to make them as late in the afternoon as possible but sometimes you have to take what you can get. When I found out it was for that reason I went off rail. I wasn't quite yelling, but was getting my point across strongly. Granny's face was priceless, I thought her teeth were going to fall out. I told them that she is out because of appointments and they are beyond her control and they WILL not punish her for that. It's the most asinine thing I've heard. The lady told me that instead of sending her to regular lunch detention she sent her to eat lunch with her homeroom teacher instead. I told her that was still not where she was supposed to be therefore still a punishment and that also is NOT to happen again. She said "yes, ma'am I'll make sure it won't happen. I'm sorry". So I get off the phone and calm myself down knowing that Morgan is going to be upset when I pick her up.
When I pick Morgan up at school she burst into tears. She said that her homeroom teacher, the one they sent her to eat lunch with instead of having regular lunch detention but was still a punishment in my eyes....I'm getting off track....Ok, so Morgan goes to this teachers room for lunch and she's crying. The teacher told her to stop crying or leave her room. What the hill!!?? Oh, I don't think so. I got home and called the school and asked to speak with the sped director I had spoken to earlier. They said she had left for the day so I asked to speak with the next in charge. They transferred me to the principal. I explained the lunch detention thing to him, he said lunch detention wasn't a big deal and they do it to all the kids for one reason or another. I told him I don't care about the other kids, I'm talking about my child and the extenuating circumstances that need to be taken into account. Then I told him about what the teacher said to her. He had the gall to ask if I believed Morgan.Not the right thing to do when I'm already mad. I said yes I believe her and I expect something to be done about it and it better not happen again. He said he'd have to talk to the teacher and see if she says she said that and that he wanted to talk to Morgan herself but he would make sure someone else was in there with her when he talked to her. To that I said that of course if she said it she is going to tell you she didn't and if you want to talk to my daughter about it then I'm the one that will be in there. Ok, he said but that I couldn't talk and prompt her. Tomorrow morning should be interesting. I'm fit to be tied. I know this may not seem like a big deal to some people but it seems like everything that happens that's not supposed to happen is because someone hasn't followed her IEP or someone is being insensitive about her disabilities or simply thinks they are above the rules, like the principal. I intend to sit quietly in the morning while Morgan tells what happened then I intend to send her out of the room and tell him a few things she doesn't need to hear.
Oh, Tiff...so sorry.
What JD said. Jesus...some flippin' people oughtta be shot.
I'm in!
Sounds like you finally got some support. Take her up on her offer, Tiff.... She's a 3rd party and also knows the other players.
*AHEM* I more than agree with this sentiment, but like JD, will leave it at that.
Haven't even got the bread machine out of the box yet. Hubby gave me a list of his cronies that want a loaf. I informed him that the girls biscuits came first and to not hold his breath.
