Procrastination is a wonderful thing. Procrastinating is #1 on my list of favorite things to do. At work, at home, dishes or laundry, doesn't matter. So that's my excuse. I've taken up professional procrastination as a hobby. For my spare time (lol like I have spare time). So I put off blogging for over two months (I did however visit other people occasionaly) because I always had an excuse to do it later... I'm too busy, nothing interesting has happened, nobody will notice anyways... which is all more or less true. I am too busy, I should be making Christmas cards and wrapping presents and I have parcels to get in the mail. not much happens that is interesting. Work is the same except really busy becuase it's almost Christmas. Really the only things that change are the kids, oh, and it snowed. Karen is actually doing really well in that she hasn't had any more screaming-and-kicking-for-an-hour-that-she-doesn't-to-go-to-school-and-she-won't-tell-us-why fits. She needs to remember to bring her homework home and she will always have social and sensory issues, but they are not as bad this year so far. Cameron on the other hand is not doing so well. For one thing he has started having seizures again. For another the school is desperatly trying to get his special needs coding changed so that he will have an aide next year. But all they have to go on so far is impaired cognitive abilities. And his epilepsy doesn't count because it is (more or less) controlled with medication and doesn't affect him at school. The fact that the medication itself has side effects and that if we were to take him off it the results would be devastating doesn't count either. I really do think that if they assessed him they would find something else, whether it be ADHD or Autism or something that just might do the trick. But the school's hands are tied, they can't test him til next year, the Glenrose doesn't want anything more to do with him until the school tests him so they said to try Mental Health and I might just get somewhere with them, it looks promising anyways. The thing that gets me is that Karen, who could likely get by without the aide, has one because she is classed as behavioral, but Cameron who really needs one can't have one. It's backwards, I tell ya. Anyways I have to get back to procrastinating now, so I'll be back some other day. Likely not as long as last time though...
