I know you're right Michelle. I've already decided that she's just going to have to deal with it. Seriously.....what's more important? The health and happiness of her daughter and grandson or what Vanna is wearing on Wheel of Fortune?

I finally had the IEP with Marc's teachers and counseling staff today. It is always rough but it was interesting having Marc sit in on the first half of it.

We are in the process of reorganizing his load and lengthening his high school experience to 5 years. He is just so disorganized and overwhelmed that he throws his hands in the air and gives up. They all see it. His quiz and test scores are B's and C's (good for him) but he has straight F's in homework, projects, and classwork. Basically, anything that he is supposed to bring home he doesn't. Anything that takes more than 10 minutes of concentration he gives up on. I'm glad that others know what is going on with him and that they are not willing to give up on him. It's just going to be a bit of a long road to get him through school. Getting through all of this with no help is making me wonder how any single parent with a special needs child ever makes it!!!! WOW! The hope I hold on to is that Marc will have something click that will make him be more proactive in his approach to his schoolwork. They had some great ideas they are implementing for him. We'll see!!!
