[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 305027, member: 3444"] LDM, nope it never does seem easy at times like this. TM, I'm not aware of any problems at school yet for either of them. But then, I've been blindsided before! GN, we keep his diet pretty low fiber when he feels this way, but he really needs to make sure he gets enough fluids, and that may be part of the problem -- he had a very busy weekend, including a soccer game. I may need to set aside premeasured beverages to ensure he drinks enough during the day. He's the type of kid who just doesn't think about eating or drinking until he's REALLY hungry and thirsty. difficult child 2 could not finish one of his social studies assignments tonight, so I called the teacher and left a message. It was a very challenging assignment as it was -- LOTS of places to label on a world map and not very much room to write, which is doubly challenging because of his fine motor issues and the Depakote tremor. I let her know that this was hard and that I called it quits at 9pm after more than 90 minutes of working on it. I also called his Critical Skills teacher to "check in" (translation: what the heck is going on in this class besides the kids playing games every day?) and see how he's doing. I expected him to work on homework for a bit during this time, but it's not happening at all. And I am just dog tired today after getting up at 5:15 to pre-medicate difficult child 1. I can't go back to sleep, no matter how I try. And then I'm driving kids from 6:30am (if difficult child 1 needs a ride) until 9am when I drop off the last kid. I had errands to run after that so I didn't get a nap in, until after everyone was home, and then 10 minutes after I dozed off, the doorbell rang with a special delivery of medications for difficult child 1. By then it was time for homework and starting dinner and... husband is nuts if he thinks I can manage all this AND go back to work! If he says anything again I'm just gonna laugh my head off!
