[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 26160, member: 1991"] G'day Sharon. I hope the boys enjoy their testosterone-fest. I like it when the fellas do bloke stuff together. Enjoy the warm. I've had my usual hectic Tuesday today. My lunchtime class at the local school; a rush home to grab the kids and some work for difficult child 3 so we can drive out to collect a friend's Downs daughter at 2.30 pm for a 4 pm drama class. Because of my lunchtime class we only just make it. It is really disrupting difficult child 3 to have to leave so early, too - he never can do his work under these conditions. Then the girl was brought out with a teacher who gave me two instructions - first, I am not to drive onto school grounds any more, I have to wait on the street corner or walk in. "But I can't walk in," I told the teacher. I got ignored. "Next, you have to be here at 2.15 pm, not 2.30. It's changed." No explanation, just a superior attitude as if I were a trangressing student who failed to hand work in on time. I've had to tell the girl's family that I just can't do this any more - 2.15 is too early, I can't get there in time. And if I have to wait on the corner and the girl's not there - I can't do anything about collecting her. Not satisfactory. Frankly, it sounds like a knee-jerk reaction by a control freak of a teacher. Then we had to go to the police station (cop shop) to get the report number on last night's accident for easy child 2/difficult child 2. Then to the smash repairer to see the car. Then back to drama class, drop off difficult child 1 for his driving lesson, drive easy child 2/difficult child 2 to college for her counselling appointment, then back to collect the kids after drama and meet the driving instructor after the lesson. Then - drive easy child 2/difficult child 2 back to college for her evening class, wait for husband and PHEW! Drive home. I hate Tuesdays. Tomorrow difficult child 3 & I are going in to his school. husband has half a day off so we'll go and collect him from work when difficult child 3 is finished at school. I'm hoping to get some rest in the school library! Marg [/QUOTE]
