Five Months?!?

Has it really been that long since I journaled last?

We are moments away (figuratively) from the end of the school year; it has been a roller coaster ride for sure. We all thoroughly despise the school - and still are working to try to get him out of it by next year.

Yes - despise is a very strong word. But, the right one, I believe. He was attacked yesterday by another kid. This is the same kid who, a couple of weeks earlier, fought him and then, when home, sent him an email - calling him a "fag."

Of course, brought all this to the attention of his teacher and the administrators - no action and it escalated to the attack yesterday. Now, I have more higher ups paying attention. All we want is a safe environment where our son can learn and feel free to be himself.

Time's March

Time - that is the one thing that feels so fleeting, lately.

We never have enough to do all the things we need to do; the weekend rolls around and before you know it, back to the week day routine.

We are at the 45 day check point and are going through an assessment of school - that is the one hugh disappointment - the school system here *sigh*. The whole thing is complicated of course by the diagnosis that the kid has.

But from where I sit, at least today, right now - he is doing remarkably well, all things considered.
