Thanks Kat!!!I do feel strong, but tired today. A couple nights in a row of staying up late and waking up early I guess. I took S15 to the dentist today (he had baby teeth pulled out), and H took D9 to the evaluator. I put a call into her to see how it went.
I met H for the pickup and I was cranky, trying to drive out asap and he had to go back to his car for extra stuff and then wave me down. I almost just sent a sorry email for being cranky (you know for the one time this year I was cranky) and then I thought how many times has H been rude & cranky to me and never a sorry. So I didn't.
There is no way I can get all our stuff packed by Thurs. am, so I called the mover and reset to Wed. At least I've gotten a good start, so if I keep it up for the next week should get most of it done I hope. I'm not packing up medicines and stuff like that I decided so I don't have to worry about that. I figured I'd do it that day or night and take it over in the car so it wont get mixed with the other 50 boxes. I could see having to search for D9's daily meds in all of them. D9 just told me her dad forgot to give her meds again this am (gave them to her around 11) which I wish she would have had before the testing. But that's life with dad.
Another weird thing H did is he gave S15 this huge cross necklace (like 5 or 6 inches big). WT????? Karen
Ok, I'm steaming now. H just sent me an email. I said since he kept S15 the last 3 out of 4 nights and an extra night he kept S15, I want the kids tonight (which is normally his night) so they can do some packing for the move.
He emails back fine, then I'll keep them Friday and Sunday and Sunday night because of the testing next week. (which I don't even know if I will agree to it if it's not the complete testing).
I was going to email back I would like the kids on Sunday on Mother's day and can take them Monday. And I expect they will spend Father's day with him. How's that?
Interesting how he "forgot" to give your child the medicine on the day he was suppose to get tested. Hmmm...wonder why he wanted him overnight the night before testing....doesn't seem very coincidental to me.
I don't trust him much, but he has a habit of forgetting. I think b/c I do it twice a day 5x a day it's more habit to me, but not for him. D9 told me last week he had given it to her at 6pm right before he returned her home. I was glad she told me b/c I didn't give her regular evening dose that night b/c of that and now I always make a point of asking her when/if her dad gave her meds. He's kind of an ADD forgetful type and forgets and gives her late a lot of time.
I sent him the email, Pup, and said I'd like the kids on Mother's day and can take them to testing Monday (S15's turn next week) and he hasn't replied yet. Maybe going to talk to his L or something. I can't wait until this is over and we have stuff more set in stone. Mother's day will be in our agreement if I have my way! Karen
Well, I was thinking he was purposely trying to skew the testing results by not giving the kids the meds to help them focus. He wants them in public schools and wants to prove that the homeschooling/private schooling isn't working because he doesn't want to pay the money. I just don't trust him. Isn't he a lawyer, Karen?
Yes, he is an L. He did email that he forgot Sunday was mother's day so I can have the kids Sunday so that's good at least.
I would hate to think he purposely would hurt D9 like that. Besides if he did I think it backfired, the evaluator said her testing was very variable, and S15 will be even more so.
She said she thought after talking to H, they were going to do the complete testing. I was thinking maybe I should doublecheck with the L, tell her what's going on, so she's up to date on that stuff. B/c what's to stop him from getting the first half of testing and then just saying not going to do or pay for the rest?
I haven't gotten the results yet. The evaluator just said several times how much she enjoyed working with D9, she's a sweetie and she enjoys everything pretty much. She did say she was glad they did the complete testing, b/c her results were very variable or something like that--I think meaning she's all over the place with strengths and weaknesses. When S15 got tested at 6 or 7, I know he had the same; I think maybe some gifted and ld combo, he had 5s to 15s on his scores last time. Supposedly she tester said she talked to H it sounded like encouraging him to do the whole testing to get a complete picture, and maybe not making it sound like it was just something I wanted (which was very clever b/c then he prob. wouldn't agree to it!)
I got asked to work the benefit the theatre's having tomorrow. The guy throwing it, a friend of mine I've done the ghost tour with a couple times, told me just to come over for a little bit tonight and find out what's going on--and I just got home 5 hours later!!! But it was a blast--I got to see most of the acts tonight and it was so much fun. Some great singers and guys in drag and so funny. Some of the women and I were playing groupies and dancing in front of the stage. I'm going to help with the sound which I've never done before, but I guess I'll learn hopefully tomorrow. One of the dancing groups their teacher gave me a card for taking beginning dance--fox trot, cha cha, and all the stuff I've never learned. So if I get some free time, I'm thinking about doing that maybe...
My boss told me today, the temp job, he wants to end it in 2 or 3 weeks, b/c he just does advertising the first 5 months of the year, b/c his profits go way down starting next month. I got another call for an interview at the local community college, I'll call back tomorrow (I was getting gas and it went to vm) and hopefully that'll be next week. I feel oddly confident things will work out tho I should prob. be in a panic right now. But I've got the benefit tomorrow and packing the next few days. I've applied to a couple more jobs this week, and didn't count my chickens for the interview last week. BTW, I met the personnel director at the community college last week at the cast party (was at her house) and she said the guy I interviewed with is nutty, I told her well I did think he was a little eccentric, but the job sounded very interesting. He said he would call by tomorrow and if I don't hear, I didn't get the job, but I'm ok with that. Karen
