Seussical
When difficult child 1 started public school this year for her senior year I made it very clear (ok maybe husband is the only one that heard me but he did back on this-smart man) that I wanted/needed to know when things were required to be done (senor pics, ordering of items etc). Number 1 reason we live 3 hours away and I can't just bop over to take care of something. Number 2 we have 2 other children and many appointments so again can't just bop over. Number 3 I can't poop out money over night for these things not to mention once I have figured out if I am robbing Peter or Paul I can't get it there that quickly (see reasons 1 & 2) and sending a check overnight is expensive.
So I have coninually asked (the school liason for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) works nights as in midnight to 6) so I have to leave messages. Might I add that I don't know how she does this when these are the hours she works but hmmm could this be part of the problem. As the school sends all the info "home" with difficult child 1 to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) obviously we don't see it.
Now I find out she can't get her picture in the yearbook because it already needed to be done (again I asked and was told not to worry about it).
We also were looking at the paperwork today that said what we could order for announcements. Guess what it was already filled out. We weren't asked how many we needed. (believe me we have a lot of family and for once we have something good to share so I want one for everyone and I wanted the real ones not the ones we will have to now make on our own) But did we get the option to fill it out. Nope.
I got so mad I handed it all to husband (who all of a sudden was stunned into reality that I was angry) and told him I was going outside for a moment. I didn't want to explode in front of the other residents of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I did some deep breathing (gasping snarling and other types) and then went back in when I was sure I wouldn't do anything inappropriate. husband is looking at me like what is wrong? I pointed the dates out. The already done paper work out. As I am doing this the anger is taking over. Ever try to yell while wispering. Oh boy was I. Told husband he needed to handle it. I was not. His problem now. I made it clear what we needed/ wanted so he needed to handle things as obviously no one wanted to hear me on this.
I went over told difficult child 1 I loved her and would see her soon and went to the car. About 5 minutes later husband came out. He mentioned that we needed more announcements and that he would call the person tonight about this.
Well I guess we are staying up late tonight. Him to make the call and me to egg him on, I mean remind him of what was wrong with the situation.
Sorry just had to unload this. We had a productive session but darn if we didn't leave mad as hornets. Believe me the person in charge of the facility will get a call from me tomorow about this after husband is done tonight with his.
