Thanks.

Not doing well being home by myself all day--lots of panic attacks today. I need to get out of the house; I also should get stuff done around here (painting, etc.) that I don't otherwise have time to do.

good news--D14 is approved for retesting for her LD!! She hasn't had any retesting since 4th grade, and a little bit has changed since then!! I've established a good relationship with the compliance monitor (whatever that is!) and the school psychologist, we've been able to communicate well, and I think things will go well. Last night was open house at her school and I got to meet her teachers--and they all told me what a great kid she is.

xH was a squirrel thruout--made damn sure he didn't sit anywhere near me at any point lest anyone would think we're "together" and was very anxious to leave when it was over while I was still talking with a teacher. D14 told me today he said he was antsy because he had to spend so much time around me. Now why would anyone tell their child that??? Guilt much?

She also passed her choir music theory test and is now essentially qualified to move up to an advanced choir--and this is a big deal for her. The choir director personally tutored her a few times. She came out to talk with me while D14 was taking the test, and told me how much fun she had with the tutoring, how hard D14 worked, how it's written all over her face when she gets a concept, and just what a great kid she is. She also mentioned that she had been concerned about D14's depression over the past year, but that she seems remarkably happier with the new school year. I love this woman!!! So I heard several times yesterday how wonderful my child is...how fabulous is that???
