Busy day today. Talked to my L. H's L set up the kids for evaluation of their academics. I'm going to pick that up tomorrow. She also wants me to print out the 2 emails where H was saying I need to move to his town if I want mediation to work out well for me. She said it's intimidating or threatening or something, and I'm just so used to that from him. I was just planning on ignoring it, but if it can help me and the kids, why not? \:\)

H is still 100% wanting the kids in public school, well at least D9 I think. She is less autistic than S15. I'm trying for hsing, but if that doesn't work out, I think D9 could attend a private school in our town where she has lots of friends. They love her and help her out whenever they can, and would probably do that at school with her also. And the class sizes are around 10 instead of the 30 in public school here. If the judge insists on public school, then my 3rd option would be public charter school for autism kids in South Florida which would probably be good (only 3 kids per teacher and they have several teachers and aides in each classroom) if we have to do that. I have learned not to plan more than about a week ahead at this point, instead of the 5 year plans I used to have.

The animal hospital called today and I have an interview Thursday!!! \:\) Apparently, it sounds like M-F from 2 to 5 or 5:30 and every other weekend and that would be about 6 to 8 hours on those weekends. And I'd try to get H to watch the kids on those weekends. So it sounds great. So cross your fingers or pray or think good thoughts for me Thursday (at 2:30). I just saw one of the dads at the afterschool thing today and he had been to 6 or 7 job sites he said looking for work and no luck. It's not easy to find jobs now I guess!!! Karen
