Dishwashing soap in a zip lock bag thrown in the freezer makes a nice pliable ice pack for days like 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.

Yes ma'am. Which wouldn't be as terrifying if most of the order weren't HUGE.
Glad you feel better Stretchy.
Will have to try the dish liquor thing.
Hope you catch up soon FV and get some rest.
I was at grannys a couple of hours ago and got a phone call from Morgan's school special education stand in director. The regular one is on maternity leave. I blew a gasket on her. Really bad. In pick-up line now so I'll save the gory details for later.

The sooner the better.
I hope you run out of 120ml bottle soon.
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.

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.

((((Tiff)))) I don't know how you do it. I couldn't go up there. I'd hurt someone. I'd have to send someone else. I'm ...... just reading this.

You don't know how bad I'd like to hurt someone. I'd like to hit them where it hurts just like they do to her, and have done to Alex. I'd like to sit there and watch them cry and tell them to be quiet or leave. I'd like to know how they would feel if it were their child being treated this way. But I can't lose it and go postal on them because then I lose all credibility. There is a fine line that I have to balance on. I'm pretty good at it at this point. I don't cry in front of them but trust me, when I get in the car it all comes out.
I do it because I am their only advocate. I'm their voice. I can't protect them forever, and won't protect them if it something they deserve to be punished for, but I am the one that has to be strong for them. I am the one that handles ALL the school issues. It's tiring and downright depressing sometimes. But it's my job and I love my kids and will fight tooth and nail for them.
Shew, I need a drink.
You're an awesome mom and have way more self control than I do. The fine line with me stops at you do not screw with my child unless you want it to be the last thing you do.
You better make that two drinks or a very large glass. I'd have a few choice words for your hunting hubby too but I'll refrain.
