msbelle - you are one of the most patient people I know. You are doing what is right for mac and yourself. And it's hard, and it's heartbreaking. Tons of ~ma.

Oh, msbelle, that sounds so hard. I think you're doing the right thing though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Well, today was ok, I guess. Mr. S insisted on daddy taking him to school, and apparently took a little while before going into the classroom. He also was still having some issues with spitting and hitting.(They called Gary at 4:30 to tell him that, but didn't say anything to me when I picked him up.)
(Of course it's going to take a little while for him to adjust. How much time the pre-school is willing to give him, I don't know)

What is even happening?
Ah, msbelle, I'm so sorry everything is so difficult.
You too Sheryl.
You're both doing everything you can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oof, Sheryl, I hope things turn around for you guys and you find the right ways to help Mr. S.

Ugh. Just did the video interview. It was stupid, and my answers were weird. And it was hard to see the counting down (there was a time limit on answers of about 2 minutes) so I don't feel like I really explained well what I was trying to say. Bleh. I mostly probably don't want this job, I think. And the last question was about pay, so we'll see, I may be asking more than they can afford.
There was also a written question about "how do you fit our core values" of like, integrity and dignity and compassion and blah blah blah. WHAT. Such BS.

I expect you present better than you think. OTOH, they may just be cynically looking for people who can fake it well, in which case you're better off without them.
