BJ school update

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Well I spoke to a few different people in regards to s

transitioning etc.

To cut a very long day of phones calls short, I managed to get respite

care for the 4 weeks that he is transitioning and me working and Trent

studying.

I met with the principal in the morning, and told her we wanted

in fulltime faster and she umméd and arrréd about it all- I told her I

Would make phone calls and get back to her. Again long story short,

there was only 1 day that I can't get care for BJ- and said to her- Well

will need to be in full day at school , and after school care on

that Monday. " But you said that Mondays were fine " she says to me. And I

said back " well all bar this particular Monday- I can't do anything

about that one. " So she grudgingly says - Ok then- it will probably be

ok " - someone will have to pick him up form the classroom to go to After

hours school care tho..... " . If she pushed me too hard on that 1 day I

was ready to tell her where to stick her tranisiton timetable I was

very proud of myself

I understand on one hand that they don't want BJ tired etc, and want him

to have a successfully start to the year. And a new school, new teacher,

new grounds, new rules, new routine are all bound to confuse and tire

him. But he was in fulltime school last year so it is so darned

frustrating sometimes. Just being on this list I know that all this

fighting is worth it- tho I seem to be making more concessions than them

at the moment- but that is a good thing to in a way- Karma comes back at

ya . so only good things can happen !!

I sorta understand and I sorta don't so I will just leave it for the

moment and hope that all sails along well.Trent doesn't seem to think

transitioning works as BJ comes home and is so nasty to the younger

sibs, but I think he is acting out. Lets hope they finish building the

house soon and we can move really quickly. We will prob have to move

while Trent is studying, but hey- I think will be ok too. Then I have

another headache if the real estate agents need me to find a tenant for

this house...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... 1 day at a time Leis, 1

day at a time................................................

better stop rambling now- chat soon guys
