18 October

Today.  A kind of horrible, no good very bad day.  First I broke my BOSE headphones, while gardening, by accidentally snipping the cord with some clippers (DUMB!).  Then, I had a meeting with our assistant special Ed director (I asked for the meeting) to talk about plans to transition schools next year (grades 3-5 is in a different much bigger school).  Thinking about the future, getting that reality check, it's always hard and emotional for me. Anyway, during the meeting I left my phone in the car, figured it was no big deal since I wouldn't have it on in the meeting anyway.  When I got back to the car around noon there were 9 missed calls and several text messages, one from Josh saying to call him immediately.  There was also a message on my phone from the school saying Trevor had "sustained a significant injury" and needs to see a doctor.  (insert Drama), I started freaking out.  I called Josh and the school and to make a long story short, Josh had Trevor and was already a the doctors office.  He had collided with another kid in gym class,fell and smashed the back of his head on the hard floor and blacked out for a few minutes.  Well, he's fine now, but has a concussion (always thought his chances of getting one in sports were much higher than SCHOOL!).  His head hurts and he also hurt his arm and got a pretty bad scrape on his face from the other boy (that's an old picture, he wasn't doing any reading today).    So no sports for at least a week (his soccer coach is going to make him team captain and assistant coach on Sunday when he watches the game), and brain rest from too much thinking and homework.  Not to make light of it, but I'd LOVE some brain rest:) So there's the drama for the day (week, month...).  I think I'm still shaking, just the thought of my kid lying on the floor without me there....it's hard to get the image out of my head!  Hopefully, he'll be Ok and we'll move on to laugh about this later on.OYE.
