Oh course Sept, there has to be a smart mule in every group huh? I meant each of your Tuesdays. Actually today bit the big one too. Stress logistically with work. I feel like I am a freakin choreographer planning stradegy. One step hinges on another on another. I got some depressing news from work about more stuff where my state agency is nit-picking. It feels abusive and ridiculous but my advocacy has made ememies. Got to learn how to quit being so outspoken. They are literally twisting things to make a case against me and it's hard to fathom. I wish I weren't so naive. So stress I have. My oldest called last night to tell me he needed a new car as his has multiple health issues and won't do him another snowy winter. Now I feel panicked because I have no clue how to help him find what he needs at a price we can afford. I got home to my youngest telling me her guidance counselor yelled at her because she had worked with the 504 supervisor and got a schedule that worked for her with her OCD and GAD. She made special arrangements with one of the teachers to give her labs as she has two AP classes, both with overlapping double class days and she needs to do her labs she misses. Guidance said it wasn't fair to the other students that my daughter got special arrangements, daughter told guidance well maybe the other kids weren't persistant enough about it to make it happen. Guidance then told her that "guidance did not support her" Okay, just what my 16 year old with a very sick friend, OCD and GAD needs to hear right? Of course I get home at 5:30 so all I can do is leave an ugly message that that guidance moron, the principal, the 504 director need to call me ASAP in the a.m. and it is urgent. Then daughter says she doesn't want me to speak with them, that she can handle it on her own. I want to smack this woman and complain to the administration that this is how we graciously make accomodations for someone with a disability? I may have to disobey my kid. I am on a roll I'm afraid. I am not meant to live in this world with these rules. I just want to help people be able to get their needs met and i hate the burocracy. Complain enough ya think? I don't. Want to cuss and swear and throw a big hissy fit because this world is not for human habitation. YUUCK!
