Critterfixer Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This cat! One of the boys is knocking surreptitiously on the kitchen table and she can't figure it out. She's running from door to door growling like a tigress because she thinks she's a guard cat. Tail fluffed and everything. Even if she sees the hand knocking. Of course, her grandmother cat used to attack people who came in the house with no warning, so I suppose she comes by it naturally. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The hard thing is that two of the co-ops I'm interested in are on Mondays. We have speech on Mondays an hour away. Then, another one on Tuesdays is during swim and at this time, we can't change that due to our other therapies. It's so frustrating. Homeschool PE is on Thursdays, but we didn't join in time because she was still so dysregulated with her ADHD and I was worried about how it would go (It's always right after she gets done with an hour of swim, so she's usually starving and exhausted.) I can rearrange easily next year, I think, but this year is rough. :( I think I will have to make it a priority to go to our special needs group outings (they do a trampoline park on one Wednesday every month), then sometimes they have random events. Is everything a coop? Are there any regular park days? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Matt's home sick again. Hector and Armando are always ready to hop in and pilot it whenever we want.When did Armando start working for us? We dated in high school. I don't care to see him again. Good morning! It's very windy and is turning "colder." Makes me just want to stay home. I feel like Winnie the Pooh on a blustery day. I must put something in the crockpot before we leave for work! I will make potato soup for everyone else when we get home tonight. We're having potato soup, too! So, I think I need to make playdates or field trips a priority this year. Probably need to find a co-op for next year. "Mom! I have no friends! It's all your fault! You made me not go to school and now I have no friends!" - cue bawling (someone's emotions are VERY high right now) Later - "When I can I go to a new school? I want to go to a new school because there are kids there." :( She is so much more social than I am. I don't even think about it, but I think I need to really focus on how to address this. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I had to dump out two gallons of milk from the Afsa because it smelled bad and it wasn’t even past the expiration date. DH said I should take it back, but the Afsa is 15 minutes away and then i’d Have to get out of the car and stand in the return line, blah blah blah. All I could say was, “no! Just no!â€But you love the AFSA! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Good morning! Heard the stormy cold front moving through earlier. Very windy! I ordered everyone to sleep late. Unless they are being super quiet, orders are being followed. (Except for dh who left hours ago.) We have a light day of school today, music lessons this afternoon, and kids' orchestra concert tonight. I'm the only one with the keys. Stealth 'Copters are very expensive so I can't just pass it around willy nilly. :willy_nilly: Coffee! Hector's got some mad hotwiring skills. Helibooyah!

ikslo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 You can tell her that good friends aren't like going shopping and picking out your favorites from the apple bins. It's not that easy. It's more like going out into the orchard and finding the perfect tree first. Then finding the perfect apple. Sometimes you have to wait. Seasons matter. This. My kid is picky about what apples he likes. He doesn't want to be thrown into the bin with all the others and be forced into "friendships". He wants the friends that are hiding up in the tree canopy, out of sight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
