hi
so it's been a long day. my dad went in for surgery this morning, so i was up at hospital after getting difficult child to school (little one that is), then i went to hospital then i had mtg up at older difficult child's school who will be 15.
older difficult child 15 - she is failing every class; has been in downward spiral mode for past three years now, i'Tourette's Syndrome gotten increasingly worse. not a huge behavioral problem at home. she just doenst care as she put it about her schoolwork at all. so she does none. i called an its mtg. at school today with all her teachers, guidance counselor, dean, school pyschologists, etc. me with 12 school staff. yes i took notes. overall she's failing she doesn't care, her lack of ampathy is alarming she just doens't care, she is zoning out and spacing out during day in school, she is also creating drama with friends at school at every turn available, she is beginning to cut classes as well. i listened with-open mind, i took alot of notes, took all emails of all teachers at mtg. i was told by school pyschiatrist that lauren should have drug test to rule that out. so i have to take her tomorrow (yet another day off from job that is non existant anymore it seems). we have made 10th period normally a floating period mandatory. she will have aweekly as well as daily sheet. they told me working as far away as i do is just not good for her at all. that i need to be local. overall it was an absolute nightmare. not sure what consequences i'm going to take at home. they said you need to sit with her every night to do the h.w. i said ok i have another one difficult child with bi polar etc. who requires alot of care i'll do the best i can.
little difficult child - stupid babysitter couldn't find her today in schoolyard so she calls me up and says do you have her?? once again let me repeat stupid. i said from now on you go into the bldg and look for her not waste precious tije and call me. then i call nurse who has become my buddy we talk everyday and she says oh no. we locate rin. thank goodnes. then the nurse is with rin's teacher and proceeds to say how rin is completely out of control asking to go to nurse 30 times a day what can i do i need release to talk to pyschdoc. i said here we go once again i've made appointment for testing at end of mos. we have another week till break starts then seh'l be in two days then gone for testing. we are to do nothing now we're deaing as best we can at home and we expect the same from you just deal with it.
so basically i'm good and done for today. to say the least. it seems like ti's all crumbling down onto me at one time. even boyfriend who is usually very positive said to me wow it's getting bad all of it.
thanks for letting me ramble i can't cry right now so i needed to get it out somehow
