CMT and ADD makes for a bad Thursday.

August 31, 2001

Thursday was awful. I went to the school meeting for Spencer. He is off his

ritalin so his grades have hit rock bottom. The school teacher were telling

me how awful he is doing and how awful his attention span is. DUH he has

attention deficit disorder.One teacher said his art is sloppy. Thats when the

school shrink and resource teacher told them well he has a problem with his

hands. They also told that teacher Spencer was a perfectionist. That teacher

Mrs said well all the perfectionist she knows does their best work and

from what she see's in this kid he is no way a perfectionist.. That didn't go

over well. Then she said Spencer needed special day class. Then both resourse

teachers said if he needed resourse we would have put him in it! They went on

to tell her to look at his test scores. They are very high in 6th grade he

was testing 9th grade or 8th grade level. She eneded up telling me how sorry

she was. I gave her the CMT fact sheet paper and told her to read it. They

made a copy for his file. I did not cry at all. I felt like it but I didn't.

It was so depressing. The school shrink and another teacher that knows

Spencer on meds stuck up for him. I had Court go with me to the meeting for

support. After the meeting he said that was NOT a meeting it was a firing

squad. Spencer is doing his work but he won't turn it in... The stuff he does

turn in is all bad. No wonder he won't turn anything in. That meeting was at

2:15 it lasted 1 hour.

Then Adam had to go to the orthodontist. That took until 5:10... It cost me

$200.00 more dollars.. had to be at the fair at 5:30 for the princess

thing. I had a Girl scout meeting at 6:00 sharp. The boss Girl scout hates

for people to be late. That was until 8:44 had to be picked up at 10:00

...Court went to bed . Guess what he never helped Adam with his home work. I

woke up at 4 AM. That school stuff was bugging me and that sleep over at girl

scouts that I don't want to go to was bugging me.

I got on the scale and I lost 3 or 4 more pounds so that is the way I started

today. A good sign for a better day.
