Traditionally when we have sucky IEP meetings we work it out over time so we’re happy. I’m going to have to assume that this will be the case again this time or I’m going to scream. Hmmm, wait, did that already. Perhaps I’ll text *someone* a string of expletives. Oh…wait, did that already too! I guess I’ll have to do something MUCH worse. I don’t know what but I’m sure it will come to me.
ANYWAY, what I’m going to share is how my little punk of a child continues to manipulate me and leave me HAPPY about it. We just had the following exchange (Scene, my bedroom, I’m lounging on the bed losing my shiznit on Facebook over wine nazis and school administrators who…wait…not going there…sigh):
Monkey: Money, birds?
Money: Go use your computer.
Monkey: Cold, Money. Cold. (Complete with fake shivering.)
Money (skeptically): You’re cold?
Monkey: Yes! Birds?
Money (even more sceptically): And playing birds will make you warmer?
Monkey: YES!!!
Money (grumbling) hands over the phone and then goes to brag to Duhdee how adorable her son is.
Of COURSE it makes you warmer! (and you ignored my last text 😛 but I found it!)
Resourceful girl.
I can’t wait to read this when I get home. This year I’m realizing that the only thing worse than a bad IEP meeting is knowing I only have one more and then I’m on my own. YIKES! Those cupcakes I saw earlier will surely help. Love liquid cupcakes! <3
When Duhdee gets you that ipad you won’t have to give up your phone any more! Hayden loves angry birds on the ipad way more and since H & Monkey are so much alike I’m thinking you’ll get a whole lot more time with your phone. It’s a win win really!!
Good POINT Tina!
LOL. Awesome as usual. And very cool that your facebook comments are showing up on your blog. You must have one kick @$$ tech guy! Love you ability to find a bright spot no matter what. <3
I can’t believe how many FX kids love that stinking game. Ayden has his own iPod touch right now, but he prefers to play on mom and dad’s phones – BIRD is one of his actually constant words he uses. I hope his iPad will satisfy him when it comes so my phone isn’t ransacked every time I walk away.
I hope IEP land goes better for you. We are very blessed to have a good team right now, but who knows after we move out of the ECSE classroom.
Angie Barrett Grantman, what I have is WordPress and a kick @ss widget 😉 the only fancypants part is the extra coding the tech guy added to change our real names to our blog names…OK, that’s pretty kick @ss!
