Hi, Everyone....Liz....DON'T start feeling guilty about 'drugging' Tori.

You are not drugging her....she is not walking around like a Zombie in a total

haze, completely oblivious to life , and totally dependent on teachers and

aides? She's not like the characters in 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest' is

she? Thank God that the Ritalin slowed her down enough so that everyone can

start connecting with her.

Jayne.....so glad you made it safely. With all the moves we have had over

the years, the one thing I can say, is that I have never had to move by myself

on the moving day. I have had to do everything up to that day, but DH was

always around for the driving or flying to the new area. My heart goes out to

you 'cuz I know how it is. As for the bussing issues.....pick your battles.

Sounds like the school is a good one and trying very hard to make a decent

education for all kids. I know in the past, Gareth has road spec. ed busses

and has been on reg ed busses. These days, he gets to school 35 min. BEFORE

school starts and his aide does homework, etc. with him. He also leaves

25-30 minutes before the other kids do. I don't make an issue out of it. G's

school is two minutes down the road, and I could have offered to take him every

day, but I have done that in the past and it is not fun, either. What I

would fight for is if my child was on a very long bus trip and they were not

making attempts to rectify it. Just my two cents worth.

Take care, Everyone.
