dyk, people at work keep bothering me

dyk, don't they know that work from home actually means sit on my couch and clean out my DVR?

dyk the school didn't qualifty Abigail to ride the special ed bus

dyk my friends are floored -- none of them would risk putting Abi on a general ed bus (with no aid -- drivers legally cannot get out of their seats)

dyk she doesn't have a medical condition, a wheelchair or a severe disability

dyk I have a call into the spec ed director to discuss it further

dyk we are not entirely opposed to putting her on the reg ed bus but I need to know what their plan is for when things go "Abi" to maintain her safety and the safety of the kids around her

dyk she qualified for the spec ed program under OHI (other health impaired) and SI -- speech impairment

dyk and none of those are qualifying as "severe or limiting" for her age and grade right now

dyk we'll see

dyk with Abi not being on the special ed bus (a fight I may not win) then Sean still has 2 kids to take to school -- which really messes up HIS plan of putting Abi on the bus and driving Dek with him on the scooter that he's buying today

dyk I am sure that he will expect me to adjust MY schedule so that he can still leave in the morning on the scooter

dyk NOT going ot happen

dyk I knwo in a lot of marriages, the men only get up and go to work and the mom/wife takes care of everything else -- but I will quickly grow resentful and hateful and it will NOT be good

dyk getting the kids to school in the morning is HIS deal.

dyk the spec ed team also asked me if Abi ate protein

dyk b/c apparently there was concern over what/how much she eats at lunch

dyk I assured them she never eats lunch, but she consumes large amounts of food in the morning before school and at night -- and if she ate ANYTHING at all at lunch, that was an improvement

dyk AND, I sent equate brand ensure plus drinks to the nurses office for her to drink when she takes her ADHD med -- 13g of protein

dyk I may need to email the nurse and make SURE she's giving those to Abi -- something that the spec ed team wouldn't know about

dyk I guess I require more of my husband than some other wives/moms do

dyk even my own mom was saying how she did it blah blah and I cut her off saying, Mom! I don't want to hear about how you did it all -- I want to talk about ME! and how I don't want to!

dyk she caught on -- it was pity party time, not let's get a plan in place, lol
