Fri night too tired for....

[signandsmile]

hi everyone! chezsign has been headless chooksville this week.

finished teaching school basic signs, (they have been brill) made them certificates and arranged to do a surprise presentation in assembly. got whole school signing, good work, well done, and giving a waved round of applause. So sweet!

ds been into school with other newbies for a visit, (been in before, but on own.) met a 'nice' friendly mummy and swapped numbers to meet for coffee, so at least mummy is feeling a bit less insecure. Ds takes it all in stride. !

Will have to start to make all the 'thanks for having him' pressies with ds next week.... (pre-school, portage and special needs group, groups of workers and one to ones...)

How have all your weeks gone??

Hi all.

Will drop in briefly now and return later if I may.
Have mainly ignored kids all afternoon aside from brief periods of drawing together and playing with dolls house.

Really thrilled with ds today. He was asked to copy a word and managed to form a passable letter e. This amazing esp after a truly shocking report.

To all of you digesting end of term reports may I offer you a glass of rioja to help wash them down?

Sorry, ninja, I was concentrating on the gin! So everyone else gets a parents evening but you?! [hhmm]

Thanks folks - I knew you'd understand why I was so . No point in even raising it with them really, as what's done is done and what with the whole barking teacher episode, I don't want to give them anymore reasons to call me a trouble maker. I will however, be mentioning it in passing at his review meeting in a couple of week's time.

Creatovator - bless you, thank you for the kind thought. Alas not even enough calories left for fruit salad. Its not that I've already eaten them all, just that I've planned my evening meal and it doesn't leave much room for manouvre. All this because I wanted some peanut butter at lunch time.

oo like the sound of that Dr, (gotta say LD psychologist ds saw for assessment makes me weak at knees! probably a good thing he no longer sees him! .

moose I have been ravenous all week, so things will be on the plumptious side this week here too. (I thought you said you were in the tumble dryer, not in with it, I know we are trying to shrink ourselves, but that's going a bit far,

hi ninja

Peanut butter is bad, moosemama. You know that.

Gin is for special occasions when I want to argue and cry

Ninja, we have that as well. We aren't allowed a parents evening appointment, because we have IEP reviews.

At the beginning of this year I filled in the parents evening request slip as usual, only for the teacher (guess which one) to take it straight to the Head (who at the time was also acting SENCO) and get him to say she didn't have to have have an appointment with us! She now no longer attends his IEP reviews either, so in actual fact I've had no feedback from his actual teacher for months.

Hi Crunchy! Well done little crunchy. I think I'll stick to the gin, if you don't mind. [hgrin]

moose that sucks!

MOOSE

We've always had reviews and parents' evenings. You still need to see the teacher about all the 'normal' stuff, surely!

Sign, if getting in the tumble drier would shrink me I'd definitely give it a go!

Ellen - ah, but this is wholegrain, organic peanut butter - high fat, but good fat and other than a slight accident with a Weightwatchers belgian chocolate cake slice and packet of low cal crisps the other day (emotional eating after the whole transition debacle and resultant ds1 meltdown) its the only thing I've had that's even vaguely naughty in over three weeks now.

I'm paying for it tonight anyway - quorn peppered steak with steamed broccoli, carrots and peas for dinner.

Right,I'm off to spend some time with Ds before I go out- Have a good evening all- Catch up soon

Well yes Ellen, that's what we sensible people think, but ds's teacher is unable to separate normal day to day stuff from him being a giant sized thorn in her backside having AS!

Enjoy your night out into.

ellen, I'll never turn down a drink [hgrin]

much the same reason moose, it happened that dd3s iep was reviewed the same week with the head of the base, therefore no need to see the class teacher [hhmm] but the impression I get from the 1:1 is that they're fairly much left to it. Teacher had a list of parents to check the times and dd3 wasn't on it, 2 weeks and dd3'll be out of there, I will have a big smile on face on the last day of term and may well practise some of the signs I picked up at deaf club!

he he he, oh yeah, i know some of those

ps, any news on results ?

...too tired to garnish my Pimms!

Haven't had DS's report yet but apparently my (NT) DD is quiet, sensitve, caring and lacks empathy.

No wonder I need a drink!

Where's the disabled parking thread? I need distracting.

no news yet sign, thanks for asking So pleased all's going well with the school, it makes such a difference!

moose, don't think dd3s teacher has got involved with her much at all, all the children in the school know dd3 as she is quite often walked round the school when they don't know what to do with her, it's open plan, ds1 regularly sees her. It's crpa, hope next year is much improved for you.

Thanks - I'd get you to teach me some of those signs for the end of term, but I think ds2 is going to have the aforementioned teacher for maths next year. Fortunately, as she's not going to be his class teacher, I don't have to have any direct contact with her myself.

Roll on next year for your dd.

A quick hello to you all. I've decided I'm a slow reader and writer. I'm reading posts, but run out of time to reply!
Had a good time at mansionninja - major space after the loft conversion - but don't remember the gin being offered. Was it too early before we picked the kids up from school?

hmmm....lets see...this week has mostly consisted of....

Hospital appt (which was in fact pointless)
ds1's school show (which he hated)
ds1 got a good report
ds2 poorly
House viewing
Put offer in on house
Offer accepted!!!! (but they want us to complete in 3 weeks!
Spent today mostly on the phone

Erm...think thats it...Oh! and I went to asda to do the "big shop" and should be am currently ironing.

I know how to party, dont I?

....too tired to cook tonight...waiting for pizza!

Just thought I would say hi as haven't posted for a while.

On a good note we have a provisional statement through, DLA approved, school transition meetings going well and we start ABA in few weeks - yeh!

I am truly tired of chasing DS1 round the house and totally exasperated with bedtime situation but trying to focus on the positives!!

At least I don't have end of term reports to contend with -yet.

I am still trying to shed the pounds but had a bad week as not done much exercise. Moose - you are so disciplined. I just can't eat healthily on fri/sat nights.

Ah well, time to relax, well sort of. Having a glass of but not the same listening to DS1 watching tv!

For those of you going out - enjoy! DH and I are going out tomorrow, can't wait.

auntevil, school tend to get a bit funny when you turn up pished gin's open now though. Carpets gone down in the bedrooms this evening, looks goooooood, just don't look at the rest of the house!

becaroo, wow busy week, have you sold your house yet?

dietcoke, sounds like a good week.

Back again.

Becaroo - Well done on the house front. How can you get everything done in 3 weeks . Don't all legalities take longer than that?

Won't tell what I had for meal - Friday night is eat whatever you want in our house. DH ends up going out to about 3 different places for takeaways. Mine wasn't take away though very naughty and nice all the same
