i love your calendar idea. i live by mine but, i am the only one that updates it. i guess that's what happens when your kids are 2 and 5. wow. these little illiterate monsters make life tough! smile

what's a 504 plan?

btw.. thank you very much for your advice on the financial talk. it really helped me when everything seemed so murky and unclear.


I totally understand smile

My kids are 17 and 14, so the calendar works a bit easier for them smile

A 504 is like an IEP, but it's for a medical condition, not a learning disability. My D has scyoptic nerve sensitivity (also known as Irlen Syndrome). When she reads, her brain can't focus on black letters on white paper... the words actually bounce off the page. She has colored lens glasses, uses an overlay, or has her work photocopied on blue paper. Plus she has other accommodations to account for headaches, eye fatigue, and eye strain.

You're totally welcome on the advice. Glad it could help. After our money talk, I cried for hours. But having everything prepped and planned and written out gave me the strength to talk straight and do what needed to be done.
