Well Daddy will be ok... He's gonna be laid up in hospital for a week w/a soft cast and then physical therapy due to a torn ligaments in his left knee.... He's sore and bruised but ok.... he's QUITE miffed that the "incident" was reported as he knows how his "supervisor" has been giving him such a hard time about staying in country and will use this against him in some way... *sigh* The politics in Daddy's office are worse then mine... But atleast for now I know he's ok... Seems he was turning left on a green light and a Korean driver in a van ran a red light. The man was really nice and admitted full blame so his insurance will pay for everything including the hospital stay and repairing his motor scooter.... NOT that he NEEDS that damn bike fixed....
And I got the full story about Deven.... seems Deven started to throw a tantrum when the class started Math.... he didn't get started right away w/the rest of the class and wanted them to stop and start over... Then he took some time to calm down... apparently the school DID try to call us but E informs me the this morning that the boys had the power pulled out of the base of the cordless phone.... SOOO one of the teachers decided to ride home w/him on bus and he threw yet another tantrum and had to be carried onto the bus.... Of course since E only HALF listened in that man way I had to wait til today for the full answers on that situation.... As for the spelling test, it seems that was done after the 1st tantrum so he had some help with the test thus the note.... ummm whatever - I still feel it was a dig at me as a parent....
The social worker/guidance counselor called a bit ago to check on Deven... I really have a hard time being NICE to her but I DO try.... I find her questioning - both the actual questions and tone to be a bit too probing/nosey.... Anyway, the teacher and her would like to meet w/me to "touch base" and reinforce what is being done in class and at school.... Ummmm you call me just as I wake up from a nap KNOWING I work midnights and then appear to want an answer NOW on when to hold a meeting at MY convenience.... *sigh* Enter Dilen who has climbed up on counter and knocked over my bottle of Canola Oil which has spread all over kitchen floor so I managed to nicely tell her I will check my schedule and get back to her.... "Should I call you tomorrow afternoon?" GRRRR I just said that *I* will get back to YOU.... so I nicely repeat I will return her call after I look at my schedule... Ahhhhh my life is just sooo smooth and glamorous, dontcha think???? Til next time....
