Hiya Zennie and Done 'ya

Zennie: she made it home yes, but is packing again. She doesn't want to be home when he gets out of the clinic (as early as Friday). She'll be staying with my brother while she sees a lawyer, sorts out a bank account etc etc and then come back to us. It's a fuck-up, actually. The man is mad. One of his friends have suggested we have him committed to an institution.

Really busy in expat land. I've had a lot of work and for that I'm grateful but I can't take on anymore classes. Because of budget cuts, my company has not been hiring any more teachers so my manager is piling on the work to the ones who are still there. Good to have work but I just can't take on anymore. The little one had his school evaluation-:upset:. Always difficult to read. "Highly intelligent but does not apply himself". And the usual complaints about not paying attention in class, distracting the others, ....
They feel a normal school is not the right environment for him. Which really just means they don't want to deal with a child who has dyslexia and ADD. I don't have the money for a private school and the public school for kids with learning disabilities is crap. We have the meeting with the neurologist next week so I hope she can give me some advice.
So-feeling a bit stressed out, overwhelmed and tired but trying to take one day at a time.
Sending positive thoughts out to everyone else too.:l I have been reading back on the thread but too tired to post. I feel like lately there are not enough hours in the day. Or too many...:H I don't know which.

Well, people don't grow out of dyslexia. It's a lifetime handicap but they can improve and find the tools to deal with it. Did you know Orlando Bloom :h is dyslexic? He has talked openly about it. So I just have to continue trying to find the right place for my little guy.
Well, I'd best start getting ready for work.
Sending hugs and positive vibes to all of you. Sounds like there are quite a few of us who have a lot on our plates right now.:l x

Mrs. T is fine with her coming to stay with us. We'll just have to adapt one of the bathrooms for her - it's difficult for her to get into and out of the bath with the osteo-arthritis.

I have to run - people at my desk.

See yous laters.
