Half a month has gone by... What have I done? I've been stranded on the side of the road. I've been to Columbus once, Logan once, Marietta twice. Athens about every other day. I've been on the phone for hours trying to get information on where to send Mike next yr. I've been trying to get my house under control. I've been to church three times :) I've made cookies, cooked way to much meat loaf for 7 people, and snuggled with my kids. I've watched more episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" than I can count. Totally mind numbing, but, I just love that show:) I've been getting phone numbers and contact information of family's that have had an SDR done.

I've fallen deeper in love with my husband, my children and my God. I've stopped to take a moment, or two to enjoy what I have. Ya know what. Half a month has Flown by...

School Daze.....

So this past Friday, I had a meeting with the staff at Carleton to try and figure out what to do with Mike next yr. It was interesting, but as always a little difficult. This was NOT the IEP meeting, but just a general planning meeting. To see where we go from here. So where do we go from here? Interesting question....
Living where we do, Meigs county, we are intitled to "open enrollment" meaning we can apply to send Mike to any of the schools in our county. That would be Southern, Eastern or Meigs. Meigs is a given because that's the district we live in. Frankly, I'm not happy with the scores I've seen with Meigs. Eastern is the best district, then Southern is a distant second, but both are better than Meigs. So today I have spent on the phone trying to figure out the open enrollment system. I'm not as confused as I was, and have started to understand it, but, it is going to be an interesting spring. Open enrollment starts on April 1, 2010. I need to go to each schools webpage and print off an open enrollment form, fill it out, send it in, with a copy of the 10/11 IEP, and pray for the best.
All this on top of trying to decide when to do Mikes surgery. Hum.... Maybe I've got a bit to much on my plate :) Oh-well, it will all work out, of that I am sure.
