leaving his daycare, going to preschool
My god, I can't believe he's that big!
What does IEP stand for?
Ugh, my primary headache meds ran out. No more for at least a week. Maybe two.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, wonderful news about Grace!

Because books.
Oh, ita. Ugh.
And, not Kat, but I believe it's Individual Education Plan (Program?).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cause, Grace? Coming home this May!
YAY

msbelle, I (of course) defer to your judgment on this, but do you think mac uses the DS to self medicate? Like it's a way to distract him the way some people use cat-stacking or computer solitaire?
I do recognize that it's causing a shit-load of problems, though.
Super excited about Grace coming home.
I think Noah will deal. It's an adjustment but young kids have to make those adjustments all the time, like when they change caregivers or move up to nursery school, kindergarten, 1st grade etc.
They're pretty flexible at that age.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think he does some, but it is NOT a calming force. It is the only thing he lies to me about, the main thing that has caused fights at the two afterschools.

Thank goodness for Grace that you and K know the ropes already, that'll be an enormous extra help.
I hope mac finds more effective coping techniques than diversion into the DS.

Ugh, ita, that blows.
My god, I can't believe he's that big!
HA! I know. His daycare person and I were talking and she said, it's hard to believe that this verbal and bossy little guy was the same one who came to her on oxygen and monitors.
What does IEP stand for?
Amy beat me to it. It's a special ed thing. But it's also a seriously litigious area of the school district's world and they do not want to be taken to court because of IDEA and ADA.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Grace? Coming home this May!
Yayayayayayay!!! That is so exciting!
msbelle, I am so sorry. Taking away the DS will probably be horrible, but it sounds like the right thing.
ION, I am going to Bacon Fest [link] tomorrow (well, leaving tomorrow, the festival is Sat.) In order to get in the mood, I decided to make Bacon, Toffee, Chocolate cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting. [link]
Dear. Me. So good. Although, if I were to make it again, I'd add another strip of bacon.

Because books.
Anybody watching skating? This is probably a dumb question, but what happened to pairs?
