Hang out with E while you do other stuff.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh, msbelle. I don't have to be a parent to know that it's hard, even under the "best" conditions. And your situation is far from ideal, but you are *such* a good mom to E. He'll realize that when he's older.
I wish there were something I could do to help.
So I just went and ordered the shoes.

Because books.
msbelle, if you had to pay someone to attend with him, would it be possible to simply pay someone to sit with him at home instead? It would cut the cost a little, even if it wouldn't provide the same type of socialization.
I'm so, so sorry about all this. I wish it were easier to see inside his head, you know? But I think calling the home study people is a good step.

Msbelle, wishing you all the strength in the universe right now. I'm sorry things are so rough for you guys.
I also love racists who like to talk to me about their viewpoints that I must certainly share, being white like them.

Bwah! I've shared the story about the guy who informed me he couldn't go out with me because he doesn't date Hispanic people, right? This was in 2000 (AKA the summer Matt spent every weekend out by the pool ogling his hockey player crush.)

oh yeah, I am not going to be paying someone to be at the afterschool as his attendant. Hells no, just on principle, even if I did have that kind of money, which I do not.
He will be at a different afterschool program once school starts, that shouldn't be a problem. The next couple of weeks? That is what I have no idea about. Oh and then there's the whole thing about whether or not he will behave wherever we do get him in. I have started trying to explain that tonight.

How about running away to here: [link]
I know, not helpful. I expect your talk tonight will end up needing several variations and repeats. Wishing you much luck & him much understanding.

yes please on that house. YES PLEASE.
talked to the parents. they were like "let us know if we need to come up" and I had to remind them that I can't really have people in the house right now. I need another treatment yet.
I think my crisis management is easing back and my anger is starting to rise. it needs to be bedtime soon.

Ok, so a little fantasy helped? Good.
When you do have a chance to talk to a shrink/therapist/whatever, ask about services through school that may be available to you. You probably already know this, but just in case...
That rental on the list, which I am now keeping one, damnit. 3 weeks out and I'm still in a goddamned freakish good mood most of the time, which tells me I need to travel way outside the familiar more often. Or just that the craziness of 2009 has been a Good thing. Which is true too.
