Second: I'm so fried today it isn't funny. I need to clean the house, I need to organize all the awful paper that seems to multiply like rabbits everywhere, and I can't get out of my own way. I just need one day with no interruptions, which at my best guess, as DS#3 just turned 1, should be in 2018. But the way the economy is going, one of the other boys may have moved home at that point.
Three: dear Teachers, while I understand that I as the parent need to allow my child to do his own work, could you please take the limitations of a grade school student into account, particularly one on an IEP due to LD, when assigning your monthly projects? First, having to make a "3-D clay" example of the chosen endangered animal, in case you weren't aware, requires clay. But there is no more clay. Well, there is, but it's only in white, blue, red, and yellow at my local crafts stores. He's doing the panda. I need white and black. So, for more normal animal-like colors, a mother finds herself in the Crayola Model Magic aisle. Where the appropriate colors can be located. For $3.99 a packet. For crying out loud, didn't our town just pass an override for the schools? So, for just over $8.00, because we need the two colors, we have our supplies in hand. Then, because this stuff is so friggin' expensive, I make DS practice with the few unhardened Playdohs I have stashed downstairs. Then, because this stuff is so friggin' expensiv
Things I did accomplish today: registering DS#2 for his spring sport, putting the deposit down on our summer vacation spot, finishing said project, and actually feeding the kids a nutritious dinner.
