The weekend......(and part of last week) lens......
Last week......The sixth grade band concert. It's amazing the difference a year makes......you can never see T with his saxophone, he's in the back.
ans struggles......It was a stressful week. Let's just say there was a lot of unexpected. Some middle School stresses about friends and homework and sports, Some extra household chores. A little boy who just wouldn't give us a break in his intense personality. An IEP meeting.......an intense one. One that led itself into two more meeting being scheduled and several e-mails being sent back and forth. We are asking for a lot next year, a WHOLE lot.....and there is quite a bit of push back.....so it's stressful, and I was wound up and thinking about it for several days after. I'm confident that we will come to an agreement, on the best plan for next year. I'm hopeful that they don't let fear get in the way of trying something new, and eventually see this as an opportunity to grow and learn and make the school better. All kids learning together sounds amazing doesn't it? It's all such hard work, being an advocate for your child (which all Parents do by the way)....it's a freaking hard job. Here's an awesome article:
On Inclusion.
We voted on the school budget....it didn't pass. So sad that our community, year after year doesn't want to invest in our future (our kids!)
Friday and Saturday night I worked.......and the kids went to the SeaDogs Game with their cousins. I got the garden planted (stay tuned for a separate post.)! So weedy already :(, We bought a POOL!!! 24 foot round, right off our back deck. Install should be sometime before the end of June. IT is so, exciting! And started planning for a fun family weekend next weekend to celebrate some special Cousin Birthdays!
