other mom

[Guest guest]

Our kids sometimes pull US along! I'm thankful you asked enough questions to

find what she was really asking. I THOUGHT you were going to say she wanted her

other teacher Smart you for doing the kid-stuff in the middle of the

advocacy. Your " real life " approach keeps the hearing loss from stealing the

good out of life. Wise you! I wanna come to your buried treasure hunt!

It gets easier in some ways, harder in others, but doing real life makes it all

worth it...and thats' why we do it= so we CAN do real life.

So bravo for you!

>>> " other mom back from the white

house " . THAT stopped me in my tracks... I don't know that I've ever

mentioned it, but our dauhgter is adopted, so my first thought was

that she wanted her birthmother back. (She's never met her BTW.)

After talking to her a little more, I realized that she wanted ME

back, the mom I was a few months prior to all of this. (We had just

moved from a white house to this house right before we found out

about her loss.) I had become so obsessed with getting her IEP done

right that I'd become a cranky, old woman <smile>, and not alot of

fun to be around. So, the last couple of months have been filled

with tea parties, looking for buried treasures, flying to the moon,

and just hanging out with her. Talk about a wake up call! So, that's

where we are right now. Oh, and we're dealing with a major ear

infection, of course it's in her better hearing ear... (Tell me this

all gets easier...) We've spent the last couple of weeks at so many

doctor's offices, not to mention the ER. <<
