Well, I put my kiddos on the bus this morning. Amazingly I didn’t even cry. I was proud at David as he breezed past the first seat. The one he was supposed to sit in. And sat with a little boy from our neighborhood whom we don’t know. Celia pouted. She wanted to follow the plan. Sit together in the first seat. It was an issue again in the afternoon. But they survived. David’s book says that he did well. That was from his Learning Support teacher. Nothing from his Kindergarten teacher. Celia was thrilled to announce that there were no tests and her teacher had no reason to yell at her. There was one boy, however, who kept talking. Oh, and at 12:30, I indulged the hyper-vigilant side of me and called the school nurse. David was supposed to get his Risperdal at 12:10, after recess. I got hold of the nurse. She put me on hold for about 5 minutes. When she came back, she apologized and said that it had been a busy day. She also added that David was now on his way to her office. She said that everyone forgot. Once again, being hyper-vigilant has paid off. So in your face, Dr. Collins!
I’ve survived!

Hyper vigilance does pay off when it comes to anything that concerns our children! Being that today was the 1st day of school it doesn’t surprise me that everyone forgot, BUT that is still no excuse! When a child needs meds it is the nurses job no matter how “busy” she is to make sure that child gets it on time or at least within 15mins of that scheduled time!
Take a deep breath! And go get some sleep! Praying for you guys!

A friend of Melissa’s- You stay on them- I had to do the same with my son – He has ADHD -
It is amazing how much you need to stay in tune with the school systems-

Hypervigilance is my watchword too.
