how cute?

oh, boy oh, boy the freaks will not relent

i know that i haven't posted in a while. we got nick and have been settling into a schedule with both boys. and we had a weekend in jersey for the boys welcome and nick and my mother's b'days. this was fraught with peril because the boss hates my family and jersey in general. so that is my excuse.

today the boss emailed me to tell me that she got a phone call from nick's school counselor and they wanted to know if it was ok with us if they transferred him in to an intergrated classroom. since this is where he should have been in the beginning, we agreed. arghhhhh. i should have known that something was up when i got the first phone call telling me he could start school. i asked whether he was going to be in an intergrated class or straight up sped. and there was a long pause---followed by "special ed?". i assurred her that he did indeed have an ed plan and they did indeed have a copy of it and i did indeed tell them about this at the extremely long form filling out session.

so now with mere days left of school, they are switching him to the proper class. they have so many days off in june and they have so many appt. in june that there is practically no school left. i hope that i don't have to have a fit at the iep meeting. they will probably put me in sped.

speaking of which-freaks that is-we went to a fair while we were in jersey. at the fair they had the required over priced food and rides. there was one "ride" if you can call it that, that was an inflated slide. it had inflated stairs that were nearly impossible to climb and then for a dollar the slid down the slide. at the end of the "ride" there was a young girl yelling at the dazed kids to come off the slide through her side door. now after 3-5 year olds cascade down a slide they aren't interested in following directions bellowed at them by an angry little bitch. they are interested in flopping around on the inflated platform and laughing their little heads off. this is too cute and should be appreciated not screamed at.

so i told her this. loudly. like a trailer park mom. after a few shots of yagermeister. i will spare you the details but she should consider herself told. there, my first actual psycho parent moment, i am so proud.
