Well let's see - I managed to get the carpets done - w/80* weather they dryed in no time... E did MOST the dishes for me and cleaned off table, I started some laundry and I ran Dilen to the dentist - he did ok.. didn't want to get the last of 4 xrays but did fine otherwise w/the cleaning... back in 6 mo as we are keeping an eye on some "stains" on the back molars... Deven goes back Monday for another baby root canal and I think they start his crowns then... I go next Saturday to start my crowns... *sigh*
Deven had another bad day... The timer didn't work - teacher said it was a distraction - that he "kept touching, playing and looking at it" and that "the sound bothered many of my students" - ummm I got a digital one that beeps like a watch does when it's alarm goes off - WTF??? I can't get one much quieter - I got that one cause the twist and RING one would have bothered a particular student that I understood to be sensitive to loud noises... *sigh*
He refused to do any work today - he started yelling and screaming and kicking desk - he was removed to the principal's office where he kept up the tantrum until he fell asleep... *sigh* I just don't know what I am gonna do w/him... Tomorrow we see the psychologist.... NOTHING seems to motivate him.... I am sooo at a loss... We got his report card today... all the same checks for needs improvement and a few new ones - including forming letters/writing letters correctly - ummmm HELLO he has fine motor skill deficiencies and he's trying!!! *sigh*
E and I had it out this evening - he started acting like an asshole w/his irrational thinking and comments about Deven - maybe we need to give him more freedom, maybe he CAN"T do it - there must be a reason he says he can't go to school - yeah a$$hole - he wants YOUR attention - your UNDIVIDED attention but you can't give it... yesterday we passed the hospital on way to store and Deven commented that Daddy has been there and he is gonna need to go back again cause he drinks too much "soda"... *sigh* It breaks my heart to hear Dev say such things - he's sooo smart and perceptive it's scarey...
E won't admit it but he blames the school, blames me, makes excuses or screwed up reasons for why Deven does or doesn't do things... But when I state that I am being a bitch and talking to him like he's crap - sorry if I have trouble disguising the distain in my voice/tone when you want to have a serious convo after you have been drinking and start acting like an a$$hole w/your holier then thou, you do it all wrong attitude... Now I will admit there is SOMETHING going on at school to cause Dev to be so defiant and non-compliant but I do think they are trying to deal w/it all somewhat... I DO have my concerns that teacher has started to give up on Deven - seems all I hear are the negative things from him anymore.... well the spring break has started so let's all pray the break will give us a chance to regroup and start fresh on the 28th... starting tomorrow the stars chart WILL be adhered to DAILY!!! Dev and I will sit and decide what his choices will be for so many stars together... give him input on the motivation...
Well it's off to finish up some minor straightening and MAYBE manage to get my scanner working since it just WON"T cooperate w/me - then bed.... Til next time...
