ENOUGH ALREADY

Here's the deal. After Lauren's IEP I was sort of waiting for the next shoe to drop. You see for 4 years there has always been something to deal with. Some school to fight with, some doctor to see, some problem. After Lauren's IEP there was nothing. It felt weird to not say, now I can focus on _________. Well yesterday, a closet full of shoes dropped.

First, I think the washer is going. I really started to figure this out over the weekend. It's not really spinning right. I thought it might be that the load was too big or that the load was towels, but yesterday I did a small load and still needed to spin it twice. They are 18 years old. Timing just stinks. Hopefully I can limp them along till June when Jim gets his bonus.

Second, Jim talked to the school about Arion being suspended. My bad. I should have known that the boy was lying to me because his mouth was moving. Arion had said it happened after a field trip, that he had just gone to the wrong class. Jim called up to yell at the Principal for being unreasonable and then was informed that Arion had also skipped two days earlier. I could kill him.

Third, Jim found out his sister is back in the hospital. Not Good. This leads to the discussion about him going out. When, for how long, with or without his brother.

Finally, we have Lauren and the stamp. I go to help Brandon with brushing his teeth this morning and find one of my GOOD washcloths covered with pink. I know who did it from the color. Turns out it's from a stamp. I know this is minor in comparison, but it just sucks.

Tonight I drive Arion to the airport. It will be good for him. Just a get away and then he can finish up this year.
