I'm sick of this weather. I'm sick of this weather and I want my willow tree back. I'm sick of this weather, I want my willow tree back and I want Adrian Paul to come driving up in that fly black Corvette and take me away to France. To that barge on the Sein...
Ok, plummeting back down to the solid tarmac of reality.
The IFSP meeting. It went pretty well, overall. We got the plan written with everything we wanted, now if it is all going to happen exactly according to the plan will have to be determined. The DT wasn't at the meeting and we haven't gotten official confirmation that she will be adding him to her caseload in the fall. Erica and Janet think it might be beneficial to Ian to attend a special purpose program a couple of afternoons during the week so he can get more focused attention on his weak areas. The program she has in mind is about 20 minutes or so from his regular school and it has really small class sizes and good student/teacher ratios. And they have had experience working with Autism spectrum disorders. The student make up is varied from Very Involved Autism to Typically Developing. Whatever THAT means. LOLOL I don't know. I suppose it wouldn't be a bad thing at this point. Right now all he does in the afternoons is nap time and free play anyway so he really wouldn't be missing anything academically. And considering he doesn't play with anyone during free play for the most part, it would probably be just as well for him to go to the other place so maybe they could help him learn to play. Sad when a kid has to learn to play. :o( I guess we'll go and look at it anyway. Just to see what we think of it. I saw the activity Ian did at OT yesterday and it was
great! He cut out pictures of animals from magazines following lines drawn around them by the therapist and glued them on paper, then he wrote his name on the back. And his hame was really good!! The lines were straight and solid and everything!! He uses an altered grip that he kind of stumbled onto while trying to write with the larger markers where he wraps the first two fingers around the top of the marker and the rest underneath. But it works and his penmanship is getting much better. John wants to see if we can alter his OT a bit to concentrate more on this fine motor stuff because that is his physical weak point. So Janet is going to go out there to observe one of his sessions and talk to Sandy to see what they can come up with.
Martie still wants me to go on that idiotic South Beach diet. GAD! Ok, I'm fat. I get that. But I'm also 36 and have had 2 kids in the last 4 years. I've been with the same man for 16 years. He loves me just the way I am. My kids love me just the way I am. And quite frankly, I don't really think about it that much anymore. I spent my whole childhood being told by my parents and everyone else around me how fat I am! My mother used to tell me to suck in my gut so I didn't look so fat. My dad's nickname for me was El Fatoo.
I GET IT!!!! But I just don't care anymore! I really have more important things to think about right now than how fat I am!!! I watch Martie on this idiotic diet and the only thing she thinks about is food! She plans her life around what she can eat. Who wants to live like that? I eat a bagel in the morning, a sandwich and chips or something like that for lunch and maybe I will eat a snack type thing with the kids after school but that's it! And I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. On Saturdays I may have a slice for lunch but hey, life goes on, man. Maybe after the kids are grown up and off to live their own lives I will go in and have a complete overhaul done on myself. I'll have everything sucked and plucked and tucked and come out looking 30 years younger and 100 pounds lighter. But right now I just don't see the point.
So anyway...back to Adrian and the barge.....
