My smart guy...

The lady that run and oversees the autistic preschools in the area talked to me today. She thinks that Parker would benefit more from a typical preschool and not the autistic preschool. She thinks his skills are great and he wants to interact with other kids. She thinks that he is the most high functioning in the class and she thinks that it's holding him back. She said she wants his influence to be typical kids and not the lower functioning ones. I'm not sure what to think about all that. He may be starting head start now a couple days a week. She thinks he might have even been ready for kindergarten with an aid. Wow. I'm supposed to be meeting with her and his teacher soon to figure out what to do about this. I'm really excited!

My random thoughts at college today.

I think a lot at school because my mouth is quiet, lol.

I think about the fact that....
-The guy in the guidance lab is crunching his chips waaaay too loud.
-My phone is pretty, pink with red cherries.
-There is a sock in the parking space next to my car. I hope no one thinks it's mine and I kick it farther away from my car. A few minutes later a lady walks by my car and asks if I lost a sock. Sure, I just throw random socks out the window.
-Lots of people have cool backpacks.
-I wish I smoked so I could be more social. The smokers look like they are having a good time, lol.
-The college is really spread out and I am tired, huff puff.
-The college is really pretty. Lots of Redwoods and greenery.
-There are mosquito's everywhere and I think I can feel West Nile Virus coming on.

In Psych. class I think....

-That the girl in front of me has cool nail polish. It's light blue, and I want some.
-The fact that I hate my handwriting.
-When we learn about Freud and his stages, I think something must have gone wrong in potty training with me, lol. I love bathroom humor. I better ask my mom.
-That I can't wait to leave and get back to my kids.
-That there is an androgynous person in the class and I never catch his/her name to see if he/she is a she or a he.
-That the teacher always changes the overhead just as I'm about to finish copying it.
-That it's strange that the teacher is older and has a 2 year old.
-I wonder what she is thinking about me.
-I hope my underwear arn't sticking out the back of my pants and showing. (Hence why I kept pulling my shirt down)


Now don't run away when you read what I think about all day. There is more, but then you might really think I was looney, lol. Just kidding, or maybe not.

Re-thinking.....

I'm going to give Parker's teacher a chance until we move. She was a lot more friendly today and seemed more relaxed. Parker is still very happy to go to school, so that's a good thing.

I was having some trouble in school myself and decided to talk to the school counselor for help. She suggested a guidance class that you drop in to do your work and their are tutors to help you. I signed up today and it's such a relief! They gave me some great study tips and the teachers have taken most of the classes so they can totally help you! You can eat there, check your email, do your homework, do your work online and anything else. It also looks like a good place to make friends. Looks like God is looking out for me again. He sent me to the right place and changed my attitude! God is good!

Bobby is bowling, the kids are in bed and I'm cleaning up some. It's a good thing!

Special exposure wednesday #7

Parker and his new boots! They are a big step for Parker. Before he wouldn't even try them on! He knew he wanted them, because firefighters wear boots, but they seemed scary! He is loving them!

To make matters worse...

Parker got bit yesterday and no one saw it. He has a big bite on his leg. That just made my day worse yesterday because I obsess over things. I hope they keep an eye on things better now. I know kids get bit, but it's surprising that no one saw because I know he would have been crying. The boy bit right through his pants. Poor Parker. He had the words to tell me who did it. It's a boy who is younger than him that can't talk. The boy was probably just frustrated. It's funny though, Parker is usually pretty mellow and doesn't get in anybody's way. He's a lover, not a fighter. I'm going to talk to his teacher about it today. Everyones nice responses made me feel better yesterday. It's nice that I'm not the only one who goes through this. I hope everyone has a nice day.

Feelings....

I'm feeling kind of unhappy with Parker's new teacher. Personally, not the way she teaches. She is just not super friendly. Sometimes I say things and she doesn't say anything back. She is one of those thinkers, who don't talk a lot. That's hard for me to deal with because I do talk a lot. Parkers last teacher was wonderful and so friendly. Same with the aids in the class. Parker's old teacher thinks Parkers new teacher is great and has some great ideas. That's great she has great ideas, but I wish she was a little more friendly. Who knows, maybe she's just nervous being new and all. We are in the process of looking for a new house, in the same town where Parkers school is and the college I go to. Then he might go back to his old preschool and I won't have to drive as far. Bobby either, since he works in that town. Everything we mostly do is in that town. My Mom lives there also. We live in a tiny town that barely has anything. Everything is overpriced in the stores because the town is a tourist town.

Off that rant, Parker got some new boots this weekend. He really needs tennis shoes, but he wanted the boots. I got them for him because he's never owned a pair of boots. In fact, he used to be afriad of them to the point where he wouldn't even try them on. He looks really cute in them. They are the red, Lightening McQueen ones.

I'm kind of down today because of the lack of interaction with Parker's teacher this morning. I can't let it get me down though, because that is just her personality. I guess I just have to know that we are 2 very different people and she is not there to make me happy, just to teach my son. Teachers are not there to entertain the parents, I know. It's just that it's hard going from a sweet, talkative, caring teacher, to one that doesn't talk much. I hope everyone has a nice day. It's overcast here today and i hope it stays that way. It's been hot lately!

Some more pictures...

Here are two pictures from Molly's second day of school. I'm bummed I missed the first day pics. She got her hair cut by my niece. I really like it. The other pic is of our backpacks, lol. I'm getting a new one this weekend. I did go nicely with my pink lunch pail and cell phone though. I'm actually more of a red girl!

Some days I just want to bury him in the sand! Haha!
