We have Emma's ARD meeting with the school district tomorrow and I am a little nervous. Mostly because I am not looking forward to sitting around with a bunch of strangers discussing what is "wrong" with my daughter. Let's have a meeting to discuss what is right with my daughter- she colors in the lines, she loves chocolate, and she is super organized. Oh wait, that was one of the things we are trying to cure her of, huh?
To this point, we haven't really discussed any treatment through the school district besides speech. Anything beyond that would require extensive testing and lots of time. Since we already have a private psychologist that our insurance will pay for, there is really no need for school district therapies. Plus, I am more than a little worried that the more treatment the school is involved with, the more likely it is she will wind up labeled. One of the biggest problems she deals with is Selective Mutism which, according to the latest research, can almost be eradicated with the right treatment. Whether we are getting the right treatment remains to be seen, but our therapist came highly recommended, so we will see.
We did finally pick out an elementary school , so that is a relief. The principal seems more than willing to work with us to make Emma comfortable wants she gets there. Yay for that.

Everyone is having babies. What is going on, dudes? And also, thank God I got my tubes tied. It is an epidemic, I swear. Thanks to most of you for not burdening me with the secret gender of your unborn child. To the one that did, you will pay for this, woman. I have piles of THINGS I have to hide from you in my home. (Luckily, it is very cluttered here, so who would notice a pile of baby clothes.) Ha! Now you are wondering- did I see a pile of clothes there today? Was it pink or blue? I can't remember.... Revenge is slow but gleeful, my dear friend. (Because I know you will stay up all night obsessing, there was no pile of clothes. It was in the closet, so there is no way you could have seen it. Think about something else.)
I found this picture today and I like it. Seester, you have pretty eyelashes. And also, I miss you.

Aw, I miss you too. Oops, we were zoomed in.
Did you know Dr. Driskill sent a ridiculously huge thing of flowers to Dad's funeral? I like her, she is a nice lady. I bet Emma will like her too. Especially her toys. That lady has some TOYS.
BTW, doesn't google have a rule where you can't even get your blog money until you make up to $100? I thought I read that online...I will go click 900 more times.
Thats great that you found a school for Emma! And why in the hell are you trying to torture megan like that. Maybe she thinks you need a little surprise in your life too, and look in the end it's going to be a good one!
I'm tired of drawing and buying monkeys. How about they get some news ads to click on? How about elephants? Grey elephants, baby elephants, mama elephants, fat elephants, I want an elephant, elephants are cool.
Congrats on the HUGE increase in income. Go buy yourself a shoe or something.
And I haven't drank water in about a year. No babies for me.
