Teachers can be such an integral part of a child’s life and never know it. I know I had a few during my K-12 career that may never know how much they helped me – especially during some turbulent grade 9-12 years. Teachers don’t always know what a child’s home life is like. I went [...]
The process is now done for a year. Zach’s IEP has been written, and I’m OK with what was decided upon. My main goal was to meet Zach’s sensory issues for him. He really didn’t need any other curriculum changes, just needed his other needs addressed. I am disappointed that he didn’t qualify for the [...]

I got an e-mail from my son’s teacher the other day saying that my son would be losing all of his recess yesterday for excessive talking. I replied that since we haven’t had our IEP meeting yet (it’s tomorrow) that if that’s what the teacher wanted to do, that’s fine – this time, but to [...]
Have you heard the phrase “Kids will be kids,” from your child’s school? Has it made you want to smack some sense into someone? I just read for the second time this month about a child being bullied at school. I’m tired of these schools saying they have a zero tolerance policy, and yet if [...]
I always hesitate to purchase the packages from LifeTouch that the school offers. Their photographers seem to have always missed photography 101. In Kindergarten my son had art class before pictures and they had his whole shirt in the picture complete with white paint. In the first grade Spring pictures they used too much of [...]
School starts in a week from today. I can tell. My husband is busy with work. The early arrival kids come this week. My 8yo is acting like a fool on a constant basis. I think it’s nature’s way of making it less painful for me to see him go off on the bus in [...]
I wish I had something interesting to regale you with, but I just don’t. This week I am spending getting ready to travel 4 hours in the car with my two boys who normally can’t even make it to the grocery store in the car without me wanting to give them away to the first [...]
Today is my last day of freedom – maybe. We’re supposed to get snow, freezing rain, and some sleet nastiness right as day breaks. I’m hoping for nothing more than a 2hr delay if school delays at all. Today is the last day before Christmas break. Then we parents have our little heathens until January [...]
Some things never change. My boys acting like wild zoo animals at the doctor’s office is one of them. Our allergist always says “Bless you.” in reference to my being the mother of these boys at least once during our visits LOL. We have one more doc appt down, I have no idea how many [...]
