Wish me luck, I am really nervous

[GreengottsTheGoblinBank]

have got meeting today with ds1's nursery teacher, his new reception teacher, both SENCos, G&T person and possibly head teacher. I don't really know how it will go or what to expect, although I know we will be talking about his IEP and the transition to school etc. it's at 2.30 and I have got to drop the boys off at a friend's beforehand, so I have got about 45 minutes to sit here and stew . I was going to make some notes and be all prepared, but my mind has gone a bit blank. And I probably ought to try and look smart, but I am a fat old SAHM with nothing respectable to wear.

Someone pick a fight with me or jolly me along or something, I need distraction

You don't need to be very smart, just be clean

good luck

am Greensleeves btw. I think I am vaguely clean, if a bit dishevelled

don't have snotsleeves

can't I just roll them up?

Good luck! What's G and T, not a stiff drink I assume, though maybe you need one?

lol maybe

either taht or keep your arms behind your back at all times

(have i got it wrong, or did someone once call you snotsleeves in an argument?!)

Gifted and Talented it wasn't my bloody idea.

He has an IEP because of social/interaction/communication issues, and we've just been referred for speech therapy for his stammer, so it's all very up in the air at the moment.

Yes, someone did once - not as a joke, as an actual insult - everyone fell about laughing

Yes, I knew it wasn't a joke

ah, I see, we are very familiar with senco's and IEPs. Don't be afraid of all the clipboards, better still, take your own!

I think if you are meeting teachers and sencos etc you will be in good company re the fat/badly dressed thing

Also don't worry about notes - you are the World Expert on your DS after all, you're his mum

good luck

I haven't got a clipboard, might have to invest in one if this is going to be how things are! I took notes to the last meeting (fewer people, less formal) and ended up feeling like a gawky sixth former standing there with my A4 pad and biro

PS that was a JOKE about teachers and bad clothes and weight issues, before I upset anyone

at doggies, that's cheered me up

imagine them all naked, riving a big shit out on the loo

MamaG
you kiss your children with that mouth?

MamaG

Do you suck your dh's cock with that mouth?

arf

being nervous is crap really isn't it

just keep telling yourself that you are an adult

I always find, mysteriously, once I cross the school threshold that I'm transformed back to primary school and about the mental age of ooh around 8. Really not useful when you're trying to have a constructive meeting.

MamaG, you know, I've never heard of 'riving' (had to look it up)

'riving a big shit ou't is the most fantastic phrase I have heard in ages

hijacking my thread with yer filth

tis distraction greeny

it's worked

right am off
