That's how it feels --- another week of my life done. One less ahead. Morbid, isn't it? Oh well.
Son #2's biology teacher was fabulous yesterday. She plans on testing him orally for the rest of the year. She talked to his algebra teacher, who is also going to try that.
I talked to his principal yesterday and we're going to investigate further on the best way to teach him. He's been "special ed" before and it was horrible for him. I know that it's not that bad to be labeled, for many kids. I also know what's better for him.
We have a lot to consider. I'm encouraged by his teacher and her willingness to find out more about how to teach him.
The surgeon didn't get the last 2 scans done. I'm trying to not think about it.
I talked to Jim's mom today --- she sounded really well. She wants to go home. Jim's brother told me that they did send her tissue down here.
I went to see "Jersey Boys" today -- the singing was great. I'm pooped.
My awesome friend M came over yesterday to take several photo albums home. She's going to put a lot of pictures on disks for me.
Oh by the way, drunkenness was not achieved last night. I don't think my body is capable of that (at this point in time). I did manage to have 3 glasses of wine over a 6 hour time period. That was huge for me.
Kind of sad, isn't it?
Oh, I had some awesome Bloody Mary's this morning (thank you so much, A).
I know it sounds like my life revolves around alcohol at the moment --- I'd probably be a lot more relaxed if it really did.
I'm going to have to work a lot harder.

I'm so glad to hear teachers and the principal are working with you. I think once having the special ed label - even though the file on that has been closed can be beneficial. In my sons case they said it was "Evergreen" if we ever needed to reopen it we could. At one point when the teacher/counselor/vice-principal (the counselor even swore at my child - that was it I was on the war path - nobody will ever mess with my child and get away with it). They were not listening to my son or his parents regarding my sons learning style/issues. I "strongly encouraged" them to dig his file out of the archives and they are like Oh My his file is really thick. I had a file compiled by Humble ISD to back up my concerns. They finally started listening and worked with us. They really did not want to reopen and reinstate the special ed label. It is expensive for the school and it is very time consuming for the teachers and administration. As long as your child is willing to put forth effort and never give up - and a tough Mom to stand behind him - he will make it through. Boy, that really felt good to vent. Thanks :)
Good evening my darling daughter. I'm so glad to hear that P's teachers are being so helpful, finally. He deserves a break. I sure hope his algebra class benefits in the same way his biology class did.
I'm glad you enjoyed "Jersey Boys". Bloody Marys in the morning sound pretty good to me! Might make my day more bearable as I trudge off to work!
Take care of yourself, Janine. I love you so. I pray for you and the kids to gain some peace, no matter how small.
Hi, Janine--
M has made a couple of calls. He is waiting on the spec sheet for the bike. He has talked to someone who buys and sells bikes. It will probably take 2 weeks, but things are already in motion. He cleaned it up and has stored it across the street in a garage that doesn't have 84 things in it!! (At Robert's house!)
I can arrange to bring you a "care package" once a week if you want. Just let me know. If you need it more than that, I can arange that, too.
I know that I have never been in your immediate circle, but I have always admired the way you speak your mind. (Imagine that!)
I have to tell you that you are amazing. I sat there with you this morning and I thought I could not be this calm. There would not be enough drugs or alcohol.
We continue to pray for all of you every day.
A & M
Hey sis! Glad to hear Jim's mom is doing well! And son2's teacher is being such a good help to him and for him. I think we all know that your life doesn't revolve around the bottle. I think that it would make your life worse if it did. I love ya sis, oh and before I forget...Mike got a call from a place in Houston on Friday but couldn't take the call. He is going to call them back on Monday! WooHoo! I'll keep ya posted!
Janine -
I look for you on Sundays - just so I could give you a hug - and say nothing! And hope that somehow in my hug - you would feel the love and caring that I feel for you! You are so special - and I continue to CARE! Praise God for teachers who are willing to work with you on your son's behalf!
My love - Malinn
