So, here we go tomorrow, big gun lawyer and dh and I go for IEP review and hopefully all goes smoothly and easily. We want interim home services to start immediately, tutoring -- lawyer says we'll get 2 hours a day --- home OT and SPT --- we are asking for 2 hours each a week, finding anyone actually capable of anything is bigger issue, apparently --- in our 4 years with Spec. Ed services here, I haven't seen too many worth much. But that's yet another story. First things first, we want right to have interim plan while we look, carefully, slowly, completely.

We want time to consider our (very thin) options and let Malcolm relax a bit, tiresome as all this will be for Mom and Dad who have to work. This was all hard enough when we had a boy gone every day from 7:20 AM bus to 3:20 PM return on bus every day, when all the running to afterschool activities could begin!

At least if we have some tutoring, we can fill in with other activities during day -- horseback, private baseball and basketball, swimming and his psychotherapist can all be scheduled before school is out, when he can have playdates and afterschool activities with his friends. AND --- hey! We can all sleep in, every morning!!!

Light us a candle tomorrow at 1:00 EST. I want no trouble from anyone, and esp. I want to hold my temper in from the 8 million contentious things I want to say to admissions director/assistant principal and mostly (I hope she doesn't come...) to the principal of school we are pulling ds from. 'Nuff said. Dh is to kick me hard under table, and I think I will not let go of his hand the entire meeting, or unbite my tongue.

I am looking so forward to this being OVER!
